I am taking the Audit Exam in a couple of hours. EEEKK

Anyone have any last minute study tips?

BEC: 73, 82 (lost credit), 85

AUD: 85 (lost credit), 74 – retaking TODAY!

FAR: 73, 74, 80 (lost credit), 85

REG: 65, 55, 73, 85

MAN THIS HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE!

It has helped me recently to skim all the charts and graphs in my review book, and then have someone read me flashcards right before.

We look like we are roughly parallel in our journey. I said a little prayer for you. GOOD LUCK!

I'm a little less than halfway through my materials and I feel like this is harder than REG & BEC just due to the multitude of information =/

CPAExcel, Ninja MCQs, and a sh*t ton of coffee

Get the audit framework down. For Becker, this means drill the crap out of A1-A4.

Understanding some of the auxiliary stuff (sampling, GAGAS, e.g.) is nice, sure, but if you don't know about when to use compilations vs. reviews vs. audits, the relationships between testing internal controls and performing substantive tests, the different opinions and when they're issued, and some of the more prevalent transaction cycles, then there are really big gaps in your understanding of an audit.

Specifically regarding the exam, I'd say use the AL for SIMs (I couldn't really find much personally, but most people say it's a lot of help), and don't rush through the MCQs. Seriously. Four hours is more than enough for AUD, so take your time.

FAR: May 1st, 2014 - 91
AUD: May 29th, 2014 - 97!
BEC: July 16th, 2014 - 91
REG: August 29th, 2014 - 88
