Failed AUD for second time

    This is very disappointing result for me.

    I took my first AUD in Q1 and then end up getting 65.

    At that time, I used the combination of Yaegar Homestudy+Wiley test bank.

    For first attempt failure, I thought I failed because I don’t have exposure to enough multiple choice problem.

    Then, I decided to do many multiple choice questions.

    For second time, I used the combination of Yaeger Home Study+CPA for free+Gleim 2011+Wiley test bank.

    I did over 3000 problems. Then, I took the AUD on 5/10/11.

    I finished all my problem one hour earlier. When I am done, I thought I did really well.

    This morning, it didn’t turn out the way I think. I got 71.

    I don’t know what went wrong. I just can’t believe it.

    For those who pass Audit exam, please kindly advise how can I overcome AUD.

    You hear people tell you to do as much MCQ as possible but they dont tell you how to do it. I also did over 3000 MCQ from Wiley test bank and that really helped me. With audit questions, you need to read the question carefully and understand what they are asking you. Read the question and ask yourself what stage of the audit you are in (planning, understand, risk assessment…) and also read the incorrect answers to see why they are wrong. Try not to memorize questions and you can also purchase Jeff's note to help you understand key points. GL!

    I used Becker and thought it was great for this section. I supplemented with Wiley Test Bank. Once I got to using the Test Bank, which is usually after Ive reviewed each section twice, I already knew most of the stuff on Wiley. I thought Becker did the best job on AUD on the three Ive taken so far.

    Try and undertstand why the wrong questions are wrong as well as why the correct answers are correct. Best advice I can give is to just do as many questions as possible.

    BEC - 86
    AUD - 94
    REG - 88
    FAR - 89

    REG - 63, 54, 61, 69 (Gave up for a year. Finally decided to really study) 73, 78

    @Zizoty, blake.justin.smith and pshustler,

    Thank you for your replies. As pshustler mention, I will try Becker review this time for AUD.

    I will also read the questions very carefully as Zizoty say.

    Hopefully, I can pull out magic number 75 in Q3.

    Good luck with your remaining parts.

    mastercpa base on the timeline of your exams it would seem you are not giving yourself enough time to fully grasp & focus on one exam at a time… you took REG in april and AUD less than a month later. Also you probably rushing thru the exam and not reading the questions carefully since you had soooo much time left over when you were done.
