Three days until AUD: Does it look like I'm prepared? What to do now?

    I take AUD on Saturday. I’ve done all the review, reworked all the problems, and done both practice tests. My results on the practice tests (I’m using Becker, and obviously these are raw scores) were:

    – Test #1: 91.5% overall (about a 94% on multiple choice and about 88% on sims)

    – Test #2: 82% overall (about the same score both on multiple choice and on sims)

    While there is some stuff I would like to review a few more times, I feel pretty confident about my level of preparation. Given my scores on the exams, do you agree?

    Also: what do I do now? I could do more MCQ (and will do a few progress tests), however at this point I’m memorizing the questions and I think I’d get more out of my remaining time just by flipping the book. What advice do you guys give? I’m planning to take all of Friday off to hang out and relax and get to bed early, might do a cursory flip through but that would be it.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    FAR - 92 (7/13)
    AUD - 98 (10/13)
    REG - 92 (7/14)
    BEC - 95 (8/14)

    i would not go over any of the same questions.

    I would google and find out some different questions/ MCQ's to solve. Just so that you know that you are prepared,, no matter where the questions come from.

    It will give you a sense of belief before the exam that you really know your stuff and that will do alot of good to your confidence.

    I'm in kind of the same boat. My test is Friday and I've gone through WTB extensively and am starting to recognize at least 30% of the questions. There are so many angles they can attack you from that it's hard to know at this point where I should focus my attention.

    Audit is the only test I've failed so far. When I took the exam the first time I could tell that I was getting confused on a lot of “big picture” items. Nothing in the exam itself was very difficult, but my advice at this point would be to make sure you know the basics (like all of the differences between each of the reports)

    REG - 80 (2/28/13)
    AUD - 68 (5/24/13), 84 (7/11/13)
    BEC - 83 (8/29/13)
    FAR - 70 (12/04/13) 80 (2/10/14)

    if you did that well on the practice tests (and have already scored 90+ on a section), you are more than prepared tbh. but you probably know that

    I focused on memorizing the use/requirements of reviews, compilations, and audits for private vs public after I felt like I was prepared but still had time to kill.
