So Ill have about two weeks of review for AUD. Can anyone please give me some good strategy ideas for final review. Im using Becker but thinking about grabbing Jeffs NINJA notes. ANY IDEAS would be appreciated! thanks and goodluck to those studying…

When I was doing my final review, I spent a few days reading through the study materials, I worked as many MCQs as I could stomach, and made notecards for topics I consistently kept getting wrong or ones I was worried I'd forget. Then I'd review just the notecards on the way in to the exam. All in all, I ended up with about 50 notacards on my weak areas and things I wanted fresh in my mind.

If you're looking for topics to focus on, then make sure you are intimately familiar with the AICPA code of conduct – esp. independence rules, modifications to reports and when to make these modifications, and audit sampling. I hit those topics the hardest in the week leading up to the exam and I think it really made the exam much easier for me.

I personally had 1.5 days for AUD review so my advice will be severely abridged, but here it goes anyway. Since you have about as much time for final review than I did for my entire study period, you could potentially redo everything, but that may be overkill. My best advice, read over your lecture notes slowly and carefully. Understand the logic behind topics and memorize as much as you possibly can. AUD has a lot of arbitrary rules for reports and such that you just need to commit to memory. Keep reworking MCs in problem areas until you are comfortable with everything. Good luck!
