Hey all!

I am currently studying for BEC and testing July 3rd. My next (and hopefully last) exam is Audit which I have scheduled for August 10th. I saved Audit for last so that in the event that I have to test after starting work, it is the test over my field of work.

While I haven't dove into the material for Audit yet, I am most concerned about the vagueness of answers that I have heard. I've heard that some questions have multiple correct answers but only 1 best answer. I think that will confuse me the most.

I am lucky to have just graduated so that I am able to study full time and have a very relaxed schedule if needed. My tip may not be relevant to most who are working full time but I enjoy doing a few hours then going home for lunch and going back and doing more studying. I always try to take 1 full day off from the books since I am starting to burn out with studying every day. So my advice would be to try to be flexible with your studying and don't pressure yourself into thinking you need to study 8+ hours every single day.

Study tip: work MCQs, MCQs and more MCQs

Taking the exam in July.

The topic keeping me up at night is Audit Evidence.

A study tip I have for all is not to compare your results or progress to someone else'. We all learn differently and apply skills differently.

Also, another tip is to do a few mcqs right after you wake up, in an app or desktop. Even a round of 10-15 questions is fine; this keeps the content you learned the night or day fresh in your mind longer and/or give you insights on if you ‘really' learned the topic you had check marked as completed.

Hope this helps! Good luck all!

Hi everyone,

My name is Cheryl and I am sitting for AUD on July 7. This will be my first exam, and I am pretty nervous.
I study 20+ hours a week, outside of my full-time accounting job.
My biggest worry is the sampling/ratios area.
Time management, determination, and discipline is the key to staying focused. My CPA review courses are tied in to my Master’s program, which has taught me the importance of time management and discipline. Sometimes it’s hard to say ‘no’ to family and friends, but I remind myself of my goals, and that this process is temporary and worth it!!

Hi everyone:

I am scheduled to take my AUD on 7/25/2018. This will be my first part of the CPA exam and I want to get off to a good start. I am a hard studious learner. If I see the benefits of this free program from AUD, I have no problem investing in money for other parts of the Ninja CPA.

Personally to me, the toughest exam topic is the different types of transactions cycles.

One career tip that I would recommend others is to start working on interpersonal and communication skills because it is extremely important for any type of face to face, client driven job.

Hey I’m joe, I’m taking audit hopefully in the first week of September (baby coming first week of August so we will see what happens). The topic that keeps me up at night is not so much a topic, but simulations. Even when I know the material well I sometimes have trouble with what is being asked on simulations and often overthink my answer. For example, there’s a new process introduced to a company how does it effect risk, i start out thinking well that will increase detection risk but then I know that if you introduce a new process you will do more work so it will lower detection risk.

I think my best career advice is to ask questions and take notes. I always refer back to old notes and I even have a process folder I have for monthly tasks that I pull out whenever month end comes around just so I don’t miss a step.

I took my first exam in AUG 2013, so glad they have access until you pass material updates

AUD - 56, 59, 65, 74, 62, 69, 70, 74, 70, 74, 81

Hi I’m Mouse, started my CPA journey in 2014. I’m taking AUD July 9th and don’t feel confident AGAIN. Currently, MGMT Assertions keep me up at night.
One career tip is if you’re starting a new job, be patient with yourself, MGMT doesn’t expect you to be truely caught up until a couple months on the job.

AUD - 63

Hi I’m Bianca and I will be taking my exam July 3rd.

[CountessRosie]

Hi, I'm Rosie,

I'm planning on (re)taking AUD mid-July.
What keeps me up at night are is any topic that's not governmental or not-for-profit related.
Best career advice I can give – push to make sure you're trained in multiple disciplines. I work for a mid-sized CPA firm and have been locked into NFP and Government since I started. It makes a big difference when you're sitting in the test if you've seen something in action rather than just studying it. If your firm won't help make you a well-rounded accountant, maybe it's time to find another firm.
