    Hi I got a 65 in audit using becker. I lot of people seem to supplement becker with wiley. when you do that, do you do all the becker MCQ and wiley MCQ or use becker for the notees and just do questions in wiley? is 2 weeks enough time to do so many questions? I really need to pass it in 2 weeks ( i have already studied 40 hrs since finding out i failed and i am almost done reviewing and taking notes on the entire becker book) becuase my other scores will expire! thanks for the help!!

    Cpareviewforfree.com is another good source to practice your MCQ. For AUD, you must read the question slowly and carefully. Good Luck!!!

    Twix, do as many MC as possible with Becker, Wiley, etc. But please also keep in mind the big picture of AUD. Think like an auditor, know the audit process, and then categorize all the detail of the audit into the audit process. If you know what the audit process is from a high level, the detail will follow. Soon, you will be thinking like an auditor (just for this exam hopefully!), and everything will come to you. I wouldn't stress about the SIMS, except to let you know that if you are confident with the materials, you should still do pretty well (some of the SIMS may have J/E's, learnings from FAR, etc., you never know), so don't be alarmed if you see something a bit ‘non-audit'. It actually will be audit, so answer from that context and make the necessary choices in the SIMS. And like other say, read each question in detail and really understand what the question is saying, Know where you are in the audit process (planning, reporting, etc.), because that will allow you to choose the right answer. Also, know each report format and what is different per each report type. It's not hard if you look at the big picture. And practice those MC's. If you do both, you will be good. I know, because I took my score up over 30 points from one attempt to the next just by simply understanding the big picture first, then the details. Then, the MC's came so much easier to me, and I wasn't ‘fooled' by the closeness of answer choices on the exam. Many people think they ace AUD exam because they finished fast. Don't get caught in that trap: read the question carefully, know what they are asking, and choose the answer carefully. Take your time. You will do great next time, I promise. Best of luck.

    I would recommend taking notes for every chapter in Becker, do all of the MC questions twice, and then give yourself a few days before the exam just to go through your notes and to look over the chapters.

    REG - 07/27/11 - 91 (Becker Fast Pass & Ninja Notes)
    AUD - 08/13/11 - 93 (Becker Fast Pass)
    BEC - 08/31/11 - 90 (Becker Fast Pass)

    I did a chapter a day, so using Becker it took about ten days to get through everything twice, and two days to do a final review. In total 12 days, but i wasn't working so i just dedicated all my time towards it. It was really tough to do, but it was worth it!

    Good luck!
