I am re-taking AUD in December. So not new to material. I have Gleim. Love to get some study tips from people who have passed & currently preparing for AUD &/or a link to the same. I did a search for the same topic but getting only posts earlier than 2017.

FAR - < than 75, 10/2013, 2/2015
BEC - < than 75, 10/2013
AUD - < than 75, 8/2015, 1/2016

I passed AUD before the changes, so I guess take this with a grain of salt. When I started studying for my retake, I wrote out my notes because handwriting things out made it stick for me better, plus writing things in my own words made things easier to understand. I reviewed a Becker chapter a week (6 chapters = 6 weeks). Every Saturday or Sunday, I'd do progress tests that allowed me to review what I had studied up to that point. Then I had 2-3 weeks of review where I just did a whole bunch of MCQs and reviewed my handwritten notes.

Thanks, curlygirl! Did you cover FAR material as well? Which review course did you use?

By the time I did my AUD retake, I had already gone through the FAR material, despite not passing. If you haven't done FAR yet, it might be worthwhile to review adjusting entries and maybe some ratios / formulas. I used Becker for AUD.

For my AUD re-take (times 4) in July, I just hammered MCQs and gave up attempting to read the book. Took a few notes on wrong answer explanations, but not much. The planets all aligned and I was able to finally pass that time. Good luck!

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD

@curlygirl: I have taken FAR so familiar with material. Actually I thought I will spend more time with journal entries since I last time I took AUD, it was like a FAR exam.

@Jennifer: I read Gleim AUD book & saw lot of new stuff added. So I'll do a quick read & start mcqs. Regarding notes, for AUD there's lot of material. So taking notes will take a long time. I usually don't take notes since I don't go back to review them. Depending on time, maybe some really concise notes which can be used for reviewing.
