I have started revising Audit . My game plan is to view

Becker’s lectures again and them jump to MCQ’s. The material

is starting to make more sense in the second round. Any additional tips you can give me please?

Where are you guys? I'm new in this forum.

You'll be able to find plenty of useful tips by searching through this forum though you should note that everyone has his own learning style. Here is my own small advice: re-watching all lectures again isn't really practical and well get you bored quickly. Writing down your own notes and practicing on MCQs seems more practical. Are you currently getting 70% and above in your practices?

Thank you very much for replying. Yes I got different scoures.. some times 70%,75%,85%,65% on cycles ( I hate this chapter ) ,

I hated accounting cycles during my college years but strangely enough they made enough sense to me when I dealt with them in real life (I worked at a medium-sized private company and had full exposure to most of the cycles). Can't give you a recommendation but your grades don't seem that bad. One technique that worked with me is that if I get stuck in a chapter I would go to another one and strangely enough when I go back to that chapter it would make more sense to me. With enough practice and review you'll be fine even if you didn't fully grasp the materials (most of the actual exam questions aren't that deep).

Judging from your profile name, I'm assuming that you are fasting nowadays. Quite frankly I don't have enough focus to study during Ramadan, so good luck in that!

@LongJourney

How hard are Beckers home work questions compared to the real exam.My question to those who passed the exam is how much did you score on becker's homework questions?

[LongJourney]

I have no experience with Becker questions (used Wiley) but I understand that they are tougher than the actual exam. Unfortunately you can't really compare the score of your homework (percentage) and the score of your actual exam (scaled score based on AICPA secret criteria and every question has a different weight). Overall, getting 70-80% on practice seems as a good indicator for passing the real thing.
