I took the audit exam today (8/31), I thought I was going to blow through it. I have been an auditor for several years so the Becker material seemed so easy to me. I went through all the lectures, homework questions (most of them multiple times), read through the book two times, took the practice exams, not bad at all. So I go into the exam today, the first testlet was a breeze, multiple questions seemed word for word from Becker, I finished in about 20 minutes. From here on out things went down hill.

The second testlet was so hard. It seemed like I’ve never seen/heard of half of it. Could narrow most down to two answers but had a lot of trouble picking one definitive answer.

The third was pretty similar to the second.

I know we can’t discuss the sims here, so half were pretty easy to answer and the other half was stuff that I know was not in the Becker material. BOTH of my communications were on the same area/law/regulation, each asked me to write about a specific topic within that area, which I knew nothing about. I tried to look it up in the research tab but this area/law/regulation is not discussed at all.

I couldn’t believe how hard this exam was, especially since I had such an easy time with the Becker material.

This only adds insult to injury, I took FAR on 7/20 and still haven’t got this grade back. Unfortunately I feel like I did worse on Audit than FAR and I didn’t feel great leaving Audit. It could be a bad week when I get these scores 🙁
