I promise I will stop complaining about this at some point..but the trending scores are killing me! I continue to score right around 80% on ALL my sessions and my trending score seems stuck at 73%. I am now at 653 questions with a 80% average score and am trending 72%..what in the world???

If I'm being honest with myself I probably should be around 72% there are a couple areas I struggle with but mathematically I can't figure how they get this trending score…my actual scores aren't reflecting it.

FAR - 78
REG - 72,74,71...please just go away REG nobody likes you!
BEC - 82
AUD - Aug 16

Retake of this beast, this time I'm going with Ninja

Just an update- I PASSED! I am in sheer and utter disbelief!!! thank you EVERYONE on this thread I couldn't have done it without you guys. Here's hoping allaboard, rosy0407, dab and samir all got good news as well!

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

I'm still here guys. Just lurking and see where I can help.

@mckan, CONGRATS!!!

Huge good luck and a prayer for 75 and above for allaboard, rosy, dab and Samir.

dtatham, Jeff said that the trending score is that trending uses a weighted average, taking into account the AICPA’s weighting on the CSO.

congrat, @mckan514w – and you thought it wouldn't be good news.

I'm all done over here and it feels so good! But I'll be crashing early today because I've been up since 2am…ooppsss 🙂

[mckan514w]

@allaboard You're done! Great job!

Awesome work @mckan happy for you. Now knock out FAR and BEC! I'm in the opposite situation. I'm hoping to knock out AUD and REG before the new year!

I'm starting to realize I spent soo much time on SSARS and studying engagement reports that I neglected all the other topics in AUD. The way I'm scoring on Ninja I most likely left a lot of easy points out there on my exam.

Does anyone who uses Roger know which section discusses pensions??

BEC:69,79 PASS
FAR:77 PASS
REG: 7/30
AUD:68,64

"If you want something, go get it. Period."

[sefleming71]

tman102938, Pensions are heavily covered in FAR. I just don't recall seeing them in AUD, if that's what you're asking.

[tman102938]

Yea, they were on FAR, but i also had a good amount of questions on them on my audit exam too, but don't remember seeing them in the material…

BEC:69,79 PASS
FAR:77 PASS
REG: 7/30
AUD:68,64

"If you want something, go get it. Period."

I took AUD for the second time on September 9, which means I found out bright and early this a.m. that I failed again – actually, I lost four points versus my first attempt in May, so even though I studied hard, I obviously did not study well.

I'm scheduling attempt number three for five weeks out, and wonder if anyone has considered/worked with any good tutors; specifically, AUD subject matter experts who are very strong on TBSs.

FAR – 79
AUD – 72, 68

[JT]

Hey guys.

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words.

I didnt pass 🙁

Got a 69. Stronger in 3 mc, comparable in 2, and weaker in 1.
Overall, i was stronger in MC.

I was weaker in the sims.

Ill be back for 4Q. This is my last section so hopefully i can knock this iut and be done for good.

Congrats to allaboard, mckan, and everyone else that passed! You guys were a huge help to me during my first try at AUD!!..
