I’m trying to get down the hardest first before the easiest.
TEST IN 2 WEEKS!

[Hhhh]

I would say study in the order they listed. There is a reason why ch1 is ch1 for Audit. I think you need to know A1/2 to do well on A3/4. A5/6 are a little diffenret, but still relevant to A1-A4. I would say A3/4 are the hardest though. Good luck!!

MY BIGGEST MUST KNOW FOR AUDIT IS: Make sure you understand how to navigate/search the authoritative literature. If you understand and can search correctly, you have a very very very very very good chance of getting your SIMS correct. Trust me. There might be questions on there that you can find verbatim from the AL. Good luck!

Chapters 1 and 4 are the hardest chapters for me at least. I'm taking my test next Sunday (12/4)

If you are using Becker, A3 and A4 were the most difficult sections for me. Transaction cycles, audit evidence

I'm not sure what study materials you were using, but I used Wiley which divided it up into 8 sections, from hardest to easiest (for me atleast)…

1) Auditing with Technology
2) Reporting (there was a TON of info in this chapter)
3) Audit Sampling
4) Evidence
5) Internal Control
6) Professional Responsibilities
7) Engagement Planning
8) Accouning and Review Services)

Good luck!

where is a good place to get practice with the ‘official' AL? Ninjas version is pretty crappy.

A4 and A5 in Becker for me.

I remember thinking A3 and A4 were tough. Be careful though because they will test the “easy” chapters in a difficult way. You gotta know your sh*t on everything for AUD.
