Tomorrow is my big AU exam day, but….yesterday I just finished going second time over every section of Wiley Test Bank , so today….I suppose to hammer as many questions as possible and tomorrow sit for exam. The thing is that I feel that I need at least one more week to combine all the sections and pound on all these Willey or Gleim (I didn’t use it for studying at all yet ) questions and simulations. My problem is that I can’t reschedule the exam, b/c my NTS expires 7/6 and in IL they don’t let you to get new NTS until old one expires. If I don’t show up tomorrow, I will apply for new NST on Monday and hopefully will get it in a week that I could sit for exam next Saturday 7/12. On the other hand, I could go tomorrow and see how I do…and if I don’t pass….sit for AU again in October, but I don’t want to study for 2 sections at the same time…., when 7 days could make or brake… I am so tired from all these trying…It took me 4 time to pass REG (expires 5/31/15), my 1st exam. However, before I was working and didn’t have to much flexibility with my time. Now I am unemployed (was laid off about a month ago) and have all the time on my hands.

I would appreciate if you could share your insight. I believe many of you had the same dilemmas. What did you do or what would you do? and …Happy 4th of July for those who study or took a break to enjoy this weekend!!!

Just go and take it. You have Nothing to lose with an NTS that expires Sunday.

I'm with mla. Go and think of it as an extra study session/recon mission. If you pass, awesome, no need to take it again. If you don't, plan to take your next section at the VERY BEGINNING of the next window and a retake of this one at the end. That's just this woman's opinion, though. I think at the end of the day you know what you need to do.

FAR - 79 (11/27/13)
AUD - 76 (2/1/14)
REG - 77 (5/30/14)
BEC - 88 (7/18/14)

MN Ethics - 100% (3/9/14)

AND DONE! 8/1/14

Can't take the same section in this window either way, unfortunately.

Good point, mla. I didn't even think of that. Definitely just go take it. Do your best, but go in thinking of it as a recon mission and maybe you'll surprise yourself. The money's already spent anyway, right?

…thanks fiona87 and mla 1169 for opinion. Yes, I know that I can take AU once in this window, but if I don't show-up for exam, do they count it as I failed exam or as non show-up??? When I spoke with IL BOA, they told me that I can get new NTS after my old one expires on 7/6, but they didn't tell me that I can't schedule Audit exam because I didn't show up on 7/6. Now I am thinking, if I don't show-up tomorrow maybe I can't reschedule exam for this test window at all… Does anybody know how things really works in this kind situation???? Did somebody was in the same shoes like I???? I yes….let me know…Pleaseeeeeeeee

I believe that even if it's a no-show, you can't schedule another appointment for the same exam in the same window. I'd call NASBA, though, to check. I'm not 100% on that answer and couldn't find backup for that belief, but NASBA will be able to tell you for sure.
