So I sat for Audit for the second time yesterday, just wanted to share a little of my experience…

The multiple choice questions were manageable. I marked 4 in the first testlet, 8 in the second testlet and 5 in the last testlet. I was able to go back to each and mark an answer that I was fairly confident with. So to me the number that I marked indicate that my testlets were MEDIUM, HARD, MEDIUM. Which probably also means that I didn’t do so hot on the second testlet… =/

There were some questions that were directly out of my review materials (both Lambers and Wiley). Some of the questions were on topics that I don’t remember seeing in either review course (but not very many).

On to the SIMS…

My research question SUCKED! It was so hard to find. I started with it, thinking that it would be the easiest to get out of the way but after about 10 minutes I moved on and came back after I answered all the other SIMS.

I was able to find the answer, finally (I think). I was able to match about 10-12 words from the question directly to the paragraph I chose, so I’m fairly confident.

I left with just over an hour left. So 3 hours total. Pretty sure I used about 1.5 hours for the MCQ’s and 1.5 hours for the SIMS.

Of the 17 questions that I was unsure of, I was able to remember a few (maybe 8) and checked them afterwards. From what I could tell, I got half of those right and half wrong.

I feel confident but who knows with this exam… I’m just praying for a passing score! =P

B - 79 PASSED (1/4 there!)
A - 77 PASSED (1/2 there!)
F - 79 PASSED (3/4 there!)
R - 83 PASSED (DONE!!!!!!)

Dont be too concerned about the difficulty. I think Audit is the exam most people have a hard time ascertaining if it gets harder or not. And it is common to get a question repeated in the testlets. I had that with FAR. I think you did well. Good luck!!

@Peanut and Cpagenie,

sounds like Audit is going down!!! Go get it guys!

@undeniabletwins2 LOL, yes I definitely know what you mean.. Some were just not searchable… =)

@ Yankee, Thank you!! And yeah, I try not to gauge difficulty at all because I know its really subjective…It's just my pre-score release mind going into hyperdrive =P

@gabykats, I understand… Mental fatigue is what caused me not to research the rest of my answers as well… But if I fail this time, I will definitely not make the same mistake again… Let's both hope for passing scores!

Good Luck!!

B - 79 PASSED (1/4 there!)
A - 77 PASSED (1/2 there!)
F - 79 PASSED (3/4 there!)
R - 83 PASSED (DONE!!!!!!)

UPDATE….. Recieved my score notice in the mail yesterday for AUD. 74.

MCQ's – Stronger, SIMS – Weaker

Pretty disappointed but I know where I messed up. I failed the test of endurance. I had about an hour of time left but just didn't have the will or the energy to use the research tab for my SIMS, which resulted in me filling in what I thought were the best answers.

As soon as the next testing window opens up I'll be taking AUD for the third time. I will kill the MCQ's again, but this time use the research tab for my SIMS and use ALL of my time if necessary. AND I WILL PASS!

B - 79 PASSED (1/4 there!)
A - 77 PASSED (1/2 there!)
F - 79 PASSED (3/4 there!)
R - 83 PASSED (DONE!!!!!!)
