    Started studying for Audit today and I have only read 7 pages all day. I am using Becker. It is soooo boring. I cant differentiate one sentence from another..it all seems the same. Please tell me it gets better soon and I will start making sense of it all soon.

    Those of you who have done Audit or who are studying for it right now, how did you overcome the dreadfully boring text? I am writing everything down in hopes that might help something sink in. I know accounting is no walk in the park but this is beyond boring. I recently took an audit class in school and that text was def tolerable. Becker Audit- not so much! I am just hoping it will become a bit interesting soon.

    Wait till you get to A4 transactions cycles. Personally i think eases up a ton in A5 and A6. Make sure you lock down those first two chapters cause thats a ton of questions on the exam.

    My advice is to watch the lectures and let the material settle. Then go back and read the chapter. Then you should do well on the mc. Its all about absorbing and understanding the material. Dont take the shorcut and memorize.

    I used Rogers for AUD and it was not boring at all. I think it's Becker's guys who make you sleep (I used Becker many moons ago).

    Unfortunately, audit is pretty dry. Hopefully you will pass on the first try so you don't have to go back over the materials again.

    As others said, I'd suggest switching things up. Don't just read for hours on end if that isn't working for you. Mix in taking notes. Stop and do some MCQ. Maybe even look up helpful AUD videos on YouTube.

    I ended up having to take breaks more frequently. Also, mixing in ninja combo helped mix things up. Maybe give that a try.

    I also used Rogers for AUD and It was not boring at all. He did an awesome job of building the foundation in the first chapters and then showed how each chapter is building upon the first one. I actually looked forward to watching his videos and doing questions after it.

    I had used Becker the first time back in 2011 and I hated it so I switched to Rogers. So Glad I did 🙂

    LOL I know I wonder at times what is in that coffee cup of his and Mountain Dew drink LOL

    I love love when he called his wife “vintage” Hahahaha I laughed my head off. I was in one of his live classes too for AUD. He is a riot.

    Yes I have used Rogers for REG AUD and BEC. Now going for FAR. I heard he is the best for FAR.

    I have another friend in NY that also used Rogers and passed all four parts on her first try.
