Hello,

I’m half way through the CPA Exam. I’ve taken all 4 parts passed 2 on the first try, ‘

REG 75 – PASSED Expires 11/17/2013

AUD 65, 68

FIN 63

BEC – Expires 05/04/2013

I just got my AUD score today of 68, honestly if I had bet money on any of them passing, I would have bet this last AUD. Last test was during tax season so the effort wasn’t there. This time I woke up early before work and studied nights and weekends. With only a 3 point increase I felt like throwing up at work today when I checked my score. Now I have the pressure of rescheduling and retaking AUD this Oct. before my next FIN which is scheduled for end of November.

I have Becker self review from middle of 2011 when first started, and downloaded the NINJA Notes for the AUD section this last go around, with so little progression from first take to this previous exam not sure exactly what happened. I read on another forum someone took 2 hours for the SIMS, I took maybe 40 mins so I definitely know I need to change that next time.

I’m looking for advice on the doing the Simulations, and changes in study habits from first failed to next test. I’ve seen peoples scores jump significantly in the forums and just curious which significant differences they made. Any advice / tips is greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear that! I can imagine how disappointing that must have been. I was able to pass AUD by using the Yaeger DVD's, the instructor Gary is very good and thorough. He is a little monotone and unexciting, but does a good job. Also, do you use the Wiley test bank? I would recommend that too. Good luck 🙂

BEC - passed 4/12
FAR - passed 5/12
AUD - passed 7/12
REG - passed 8/12
