hello

Could any body have a schedule to review AUD in 20 days to retake it on 2/11 after I have got 74 on the first try?

Used Becker self-study materials (just this for FAR original & REG #1), WileyTestBank, NINJA notes/audio, and Roger cram course for AUD #5, REG #3 & FAR reboot. CPA!

Reviewing AUD -or any part for the matter- in 20 days is very hard, unless you are single, have no girlfriend, no dog, no job, no other responsibilities. The material is just too large to digest in such a short time. If you want to play safe, my experience with AUD was: 4 weeks to watch the video lessons + 6 weeks to review the material = 99 in 04/13/2012

I got a 69 in audit and then about 1.5months later I restudied for audit in 2 weeks and got a 93.

I just skipped all the lectures because I already had everything highlighted. The MC were very easy because there were no calculations, and because it was the second time I was going over the material. It took me 2-3 hours to read each chapter, 2-3 hours to do the MC, and 1 hour to do the sims. So it took me like 10 days to go through everything once, and then just go over the questions that I marked for 3-4 days.

@taupat2012..what software are you using?

[riverplate]

Having to retake is exactly what we are trying to avoid here.

@cpa125

I used Becker

@taupat2012

Me too.

If you mind, please share why you got 69 vs 91. Were questions more like Becker 2nd time round or were u more prepared.

@riverplate. I fit your category of description does that mean I will get 99?

@cpa125

The first time I took the test, I studied for it over a two month period. This caused me to start forgetting the things that I learned. I also skipped many of the SIMS for some reason. The second time I took it, I made sure to go over everything from the Becker software. The second time around I also marked the questions which I felt I should come back to, even if I got them right. It also helped that I was able to use the AL the second time around for a couple of sims.

@taupat2012…me toooo!….I got mid 60s..thats because I can't memorize for too long…I usually give myself 2 months for each exam and do pass it with becker. But AUD wasnt the case with Becker. So, this is why I want to hammer AUD in 20 days and take the exam, hoping I won't forget either.

And for SIMs, they dont make much sense to me either. I mean, I can understand REG, FAR SIM, making sense, even though they are tough. But I can see where they are coming from.

THANK YOU

I actually studied for my AUD exam in like 21 days. And I passed, first time!

I made my own schedule that was something like this… I used Becker which has a total of 6 chapters, so I did:

Week 1: Chapters 1-3 (lectures + homework MCQs + sims)

Week 2: Chapters 4-6 (lectures + homework MCQs + sims)

Week 3: Review everything (progressive tests + practice exams)
