    Hi,
    I am struggling with AUD! I took AUD twice. 71 (first time), 68 (second time). when I took the second exam, I felt very confident. I even felt the questions are easier than my first try. Also, I spent 6weeks preparing it after I fail my first try. I went through the Becker textbook and finish all the MC and SIM. the correct rate shows above 85%. Now, I quite doubt myself. To be honest, I have spent 4 months in AUD and went through the textbook several times.
    I would like to ask how can I be more prepared for AUD and how to review it. I already passed FAR and REG. I didn’t expect that AUD is so difficult for me even though I spent plenty of time.
    Please, please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions for me. Also, I would be very grateful if you can share with me your experience about passing the AUD.

    AUD is all about the processes for audit, attest, review and compilations-every word in an exam question matters. You have to know which type of engagement, for issuer or non-issuer, where in the process for the engagement are you, and what is the question asking? I used ninja mcq and book supplemented by the actual standards to study. It was my worst exam experience and my best score. Do the sims and understand what each one was asking for based on the correct responses. Read the instructions carefully. Pace yourself throughout the exam. Make a time schedule and adhere closely to it. Relax and breathe no break during the exam. Stay focused. No distractions. You can do this. You have to do it right. Good luck,🍀

    AUD - 93
    BEC - 82
    FAR - 76
    REG - 88

    If you want things to change you have to do something different.

    AUD 10/30/15 93
    BEC 2/27/16 82
    REG 5/23/16 88!

    and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!

    Thank you for your reply and encouragement. That means a lot to me. I will pace myself and keep working on AUD. I don't have too much time left for my credit expired date. I will use Ninja to prepare and try to figure out which part I don't fully understand. All the best!
