i dont remember a thing from my audit class in college and I feel like Becker is doing a terrible job explaining things.

I watched the lectures, read the book, rewatched the lectures while taking extensive notes, memorized all my notes and I score 40s on the home work…

wtf?

i feel like im studying foreign language

You have to RTMFQ! When it comes to AUD, you really have to analyze the questions. One word in the question can change the answer, and every question attempts to trick you. I would say stop watching the lectures, and buy the Wiley Test Bank as a substitute for Becker questions.

Are you understanding the concepts after reading the book/watching the lectures? If it's any consolation, I sucked at audit in college, which was 14 years ago … did nothing with audit for the 14 years … picked up the Becker book, watched the videos, and re-read the notes, did the MCQ. Most of it is flat out boring memorization. I was getting mid to high 60's on my Becker practice tests and ended up doing ok on the real exam … just go over, repeat … go over, repeat. Most boring section of the 4, but discipline wins out. Just try to grasp the concepts, reports, reasons for qualified opinions, etc … I think Becker over prepared me in Audit.

Licensed Florida CPA:
B: 71, 73, 79
A: 83
R: 78 (expired), 77
F: 74, 74, 80

It's finally freaking over.

Just wait for Chapter 4 and the transaction cycles, you think its rough now just wait. That's when the big WTF moment hit me haha. Seriously, audit isn't all to bad its just hours upon hours upon hours of note taking, studying, and practicing MCQ. Understand the concepts at all costs, there are to many ways the exam can trick you if you go by strictly memorization. If your exam is in one month I would recommend either purchasing the Ninja Notes and Audio as they're great supplimental products and just start hammering away MCQ. My AUD retake is in 3 weeks and I'm taking one more week of note review and then non stop MCQ and SIMS. You got this man, just sit down with your snacks and coffee or energy drinks and plug away!

AUD: (65)(66) 77
REG: (66) (48) destroyed me mentally.....
FAR: (68) (66)(69)(71)
BEC: (63) 75
