well I’m studying for audit for the second time and I’m finding myself scoring in the 80s (and 90s sometimes) on sample testlets. I take it again in a week and need a last boost of motivation from people who struggled with audit and passed it later 🙂

BEC- 80
REG- 68, 71, July
AUD- 61 , 84
FAR- -- 75 🙂

I think I can put in my two cents. It has taken me 4 times to pass this one. Best thing I can say is that I use two testbanks. I have Becker, which I got thru work, so I feel like I paid so much for it that I can't waste the test bank. So, I do all the mcq's in Becker first, doing progress tests (as in A1 and A2, when finish A3, then a progress test on A1, A2, A3, and so forth) Then I switch to Wiley. For some crazy reason, I get so used to Becker questions quickly. Then I do the Wiley questions like crazy. Usually I do all the Wiley in the test bank. This last time, I didn't have time, so I just did tests in Wiley since I had done all the questions in the Wiley review guide for Audit. Don't forget the AICPA q's and sims. Great practice.

Audit is doable. This is the one exam that time is your friend. I rarely have heard of anyone running out of time. That being said, take a deep breath and READ the question. Audit is the trickiest Dick (Sorry Mr. President) around!!! I took 30/40 minutes each testlet and that was taking my sweet time.

Lastly, tell yourself you got it. Attitude goes a long way. This is probably one of my biggest obstacles: ME. I am really good at talking myself out of the game.

Best of luck to you next week!!
