So I’ve failed audit twice. The first time I got a 64 using Becker and the second time a 74 using Ninja.
I really never had a good grasp of the material and struggled to understand the audit concepts. I think I need study materials that do a bit more handholding on the explanations, otherwise I just skip through material I don’t understand and hope I know enough of the rest to get by (which I obviously don’t).

Does anyone have recommendations for which study materials are best for audit specifically? Maybe I need to look into live classes or an actual tutor, but I haven’t been able to find much online.

@mariaest2012, how exactly did you use Ninja? I found that doing tons of Ninja MCQs, really tons of them to the point where I was past “adaptive learning” and into “review,” helped me to nail the concepts. In audit especially, you have to understand nuances and small differences in meaning. I used Becker for the basics, but moved over to Ninja MCQs in the final week of review, and by the last few days I really knew I was understanding the concepts. My dad used to tell me to apply the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair, in other words, sit down and work it out. Audit is not any more difficult, conceptually, from other disciplines you have understood well. I would bet you've mastered more complicated subjects. But you can't skip over what you are getting wrong–you need to embrace those issues and work through them, and they can actually become your strong points.

To get a 74 means that you are very close. I bet that with a few concentrated weeks of work you can get to where you need to be. If you really get stumped, post questions to this forum. There are many people here who can help.
