    I am scheduled to take Auditing on 7/1, but I am unsure whether I am ready. I understand the material 100%, but the questions are very tricky for me. I am scoring consistently 66% on MCQ and 75% on simulations. Since the test is weighted, I am unsure what this really means.

    I took REG last quarter and that will help me gauge how prepared I need to feel. But if NASBA doesn’t release my score until 6/30 (which I think is their deadline?), I won’t have much of a chance to gauge how comfortable I need to be.

    FYI, I am using Yaeger homestudy and I find the instructor to be next to useless. I also bought the Yaeger CRAM, but it feels like I am wasting time with it. I just bought the Ninja guide (which is great), but it really just confirms that I understand the material 100%. Unfortunately, it seems that understanding of the material doesn’t help me answer the questions.

    So, what do you think? I plan on doing a ton of practice questions in the next week and a half, but if I am scoring way under where I need to be, I will probably postpone the test.

    Thanks!

    I think what works for me is that when I do multiple choice questions, regardless of whether I get an answer right or wrong, I read over WHY it was right/wrong and also read WHY the other choices were wrong(yes, it is VERY time consuming but worth it). After awhile, you start to see some sort of a pattern with how the questions are worded to confuse you(you can rule out some choices because a word IS/ISN'T in the answer). Just my opinion. Good luck to you!
