15 -20 hrs a week but I studied on and off for more than 3 months.

BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

So you studied 150 hours in 3 months. It means that you took days off and sometimes you studied?

[Anonymous]

The expected time for AUD score is August 18 or 19 right?

I scored a 68% on the final exam of AUD. Do you think I'm okay?

[HankDrysdale]

BEC i did in 7 days and managed to get a 92. If you dedicate yourself and study 10hrs a day, its doable.

Christian: I'm doing the AUD practice test today or tmrw and I'll let you know what I think of it. Usually Becker practice tests are harder than the real thing. This was definitely the case with BEC where I got a 72 on the practice test

[Anonymous]

Please let me know. I got 62 out of 90 mcqs for a total of 68%

[Ichabod]

In my experience if you're not getting in the low 90s on the practice tests (with Becker) you're probably doomed.

[jeff]

I was scoring low 80s prior to my exams…including my 92 on REG…for what that's worth, if anything.

Jeff – Do you know if people have passed by copying word for word from the research tab? I had some sentences copied directly (without referencing), but I still had my own writing in there. Has this been a concern with the AICPA at all? Should I be worried??

[potatogun]

Ichabod, that does not seem accurate at all. Many people here have done 70-80% (raw scores) on becker final practice tests and done very well on the real exam; in the 90s+, myself included.

FAR 92 - AUD 91 - REG 94 - BEC 86

[HankDrysdale]

I concur with Potatogun

[Anonymous]

But I did it today, four weeks after I took the test.

[HankDrysdale]

Christian I just took it and got an 84. I take the test on Friday, with all day to review tomorrow and thurs plus fri morning. I've seemed to notice Becker tests to be a little more difficult than the actual test, but who knows…

[Anonymous]

Hey, but I took it today, 4 weeks after the test. So I think 68% is not that bad because I will definitely forget some details. What do you think?

[HankDrysdale]

Yeah I mean 4 weeks later is quite awhile, especially when you're not reviewing at all. Do you think the exam didn't go well or what motivated you to take the test now?
