    If you are taking AUD at the end of this window (time is running out) how are you doing as a percentage? I need a gauge. My soft areas are sadistical sampling and reports. Overall 80% with minor cheating. I am really nervous. It’s not the material itself, it’s how tricky the questions are. Most are closely related. Someone help me get thru this process, it’s ruining my life because it’s all I think about.

    I take AUD on feb 27 and I am through A3 with becker… I hate auditing but I don't find it as bad as I thought it would be (I'm sure I will feel differently once I actually take the exam).

    AUD - Feb 2012: 84
    FAR - Apr 2012: 78

    Thanks Becker!

    I was getting 80 – 85s on the Wiley Online Test Bank when I came out with 93 on 1/19/12.

    For statistical sampling, I kept knowing how to do it but never looking up what they meant by attribute or variables sampling the first 2 times. Attribute = pass/fail controls testing, Variables = substantive testing.

    For reports, I highly recommend studying the special topics: reviews, compilations, AUP, compliance testing, & prospective financial information. Maybe I had bad luck, but I found these all much more tested than even report modifications which seems so much more important.

    BEC - 88
    AUD - 69, 74, 93
    FAR - 78
    REG - 79

    I'm testing on the 25th. I went through all of the Becker MCQ twice. Scoring upper 80's-90's second time through (was getting a little tooo familiar with Becker). Working through the Wiley online test bank now. This is my first time through the questions, scoring upper 70's. I'm on the last section (reporting) in the Wiley test bank. Then I will go hard on progress tests in Wiley, and maybe a few in Becker

    @Peanut, Do you find the Wiley questions to be the same as Becker or do they use different wording and offer a new approach to making sure you understand the concepts?

    Different wording. Different questions (although there is some over lap). Would not have passed any exam without having Wiley test bank to support Becker's material. That's just me though!

    Also, if there is a question in Wiley's test bank, that is also in Becker's, they usually have different responses to why each answer is right and wrong. Which I really like!

    Yea I will probably look into Wiley for AUD because some of the questions get really repetitive in Becker. I have an old Gleim CPA prep book for auditing that we used in one of my classes but it seems to just be almost the same questions as Becker. I would like something that offers a different way of asking some of these questions to really test myself any understand what I do and don't know.
