    My suggestion:

    Slay AUD around April 5th. then REG @ the end of the may 2013.

    Lets see what others will suggest.

    If I were you I would study audit for March and take the test 1st week of April, and reschedule regulations for the end of May. Get audit done before you forget many of the concepts. Also, if you look at AICPA's score results for the last 5 years, 2nd and 3rd window have the highest passing percentage rate. There is a good chance you will pass audit on the third try if you take it while many concepts are fresh in your mind and taken in a high passing rate test window.

    Good luck.

    I used 2011 Yeager and 2011 Wiley Test Bank and got a 71 last February on AUD… I did great on the MCQ but the simulations destroyed me! the 2011 Test bank was not updated for the current AUD simulations

    my game plan is to review all of my notes/outlines and purchase an up to date software and pound the MCQs and Simulations till April…

    I am not sure which test bank to buy though. I do not want to but 2013 Wiley Test Bank if it is going to be questions for the second half of the year when everything changes and I am not sure if the 2012 will be current enough for me to pass.

    My suggestion is to focus on the areas that you know you did not do well on and… DO TONS OF MCQ & Simulations!

    AUD: 71 (2/25/13), GOAL April 2013
    REG: 78 (July 2011, EXPIRED), GOAL May 2013
