This happened for FAR for me too, but in the last week everything came together and I felt prepared going into the test. I’m taking AUD on July 13th. I started lightly studying around May 24th (until I found out I passed FAR).

Right now, material wise, I’m about half way through the 3rd section of the Ninja MCQ (I try to bounce between text and ninja notes to MCQ). I think I’m doing pretty well on the first run through…averaging 70% and getting each question correct at least once.

I rewrote the ninja notes and plan to take notes on any ninja MCQ I struggle with.

But if I went into the test today I would do terrible! Does anyone feel this way about AUD???

I guess it just takes more time but I get worried.

FAR- 5/11/15 76!!
AUD-10/31/15 63, 84!
REG-7/12/16 72
BEC-8/31/15 75!! Perfect Score!

Relax 🙂 you are 4 weeks out. I find that it usually comes together in the last week of studying. You have a good stragety! What is your trending? What is your study time (do you work or can you get a billion hours in during the day,etc)?

My trending is really high but I won't rely on that until the end! I find it may be artificially high due to doing questions until I get them right. I do work but, unknown to my bosses, I do a lot of studying during the day. I get most of my work done early so I try to get lots of mcq in. That's what I did for FAR lol

I get frustrated when first doing some mcq because I find I don't do well the first time around. I rely on them to teach me, but it's discouraging too.

I use MCQ's to learn as well but you can't let yourself discouraged when starting 🙂 and don't start memorizing answers!!

I usually score in the 40's when starting but it really helps me learn.

and I study at work as well during the last 2 weeks of the months due to my boss won't give me more work.

Golfball7773 – See, i warned you guys about the accounting cycles and it's assertions that often trips up candidates.

Areas of Focus for AUD. Should know really well.

1. Accounting Cycles and their related Assertions.

2. Internal Controls for each Accounting Cycles.

3. Sims related to each Accounting Cycles and of Internal Controls relating to each Accounting Cycles.

If you guys focus on what I just listed, you guys will be fine.

It's how I passed AUD.

You'll be fine. I'm in a similar position with Becker. Honestly, with a moderate level of dedication I feel that a month would be sufficient time to study for AUD.

BEC - 82
REG - 86
FAR - 85
AUD - 84 and I'm out!!!!!
Ethics - 95
In Skynet's Honor:
Act I: Shutdown Skynet and prevent Judgment Day.
Act II: Add a comma and three letters to my title.
Act III: Time Travel and marry a young Denise Richards (and prevent subsequent plastic surgery),return to present.
Act IV: Serve as Successor to Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla.
Act V: Ensure Judgment Day has been stopped. Utopia achieved.

@Tchole, honestly I've come to love the panic. The panic motivates me and keeps me focused on studying.

The easiest way to get over that panic feeling is to start answering those MCQs correctly, and the quickest way to do that is to start doing more MCQs.

Just think what doing another 50 MCQs a day would do to your confidence when you have a month to go.

Good Luck!
