My question is mainly for those who did not like Audit at school (which also means did not understand it) + have no experience in auditing but passed it from the first attempt.
– What review course/material did you use to study it for CPA?
– What was your studying strategy?

I took only one auditing class at school and did not learn anything from it. Passed FAR and REG, took BEC -waiting for score release. I heard BEC has some overlapping topics with AUD but those were not my strongest topics when studying BEC.

My first credit expires at the very beginning of July, i’m planning to take AUD either at the end of May (if I passed BEC) or beginning of July (If I didnt pass BEC). Need to pass it from the first attempt.

@Needsa75, I shook my head and was angry for a good bit after seeing that score report. To me it reads like a 75. But like everyone else that gets one of those reports it really is useless. So I just went back to studying and squeaked out a 77 the next go.

My second attempt at AUD felt much harder and I knew I had failed, versus I knew I had passed on my first attempt after it felt like an easy test.

Good luck on your upcoming score release!

Thanks! I don't think my test was easy, but I felt confident leaving the testing center that I had “done enough”. I don't know what I dislike more, feeling like I got destroyed or feeling confident. Both make me anxious for different reasons

I'm 4-0 on my feeling destroyed and 0-1 on feeling confident.

I guess the CPA gods wanted to keep me in check.

To be fair, I felt BEC was not that difficult and that I had “done enough” and got an 86

FAR was my first exam, and I was expecting to fail. I took like 3 piss breaks and was just happy to realize the exam wasn't impossible…I got a 76

REG was a mixed bag. Both times I left feeling terrible. The first time I knew I bombed the sims and got a 74. The second time I knew I did better on the sims but thought the MC was tough all the way through and got a 92

AUD I felt like the exam was tricky but overall pretty fair. If I fail, I totally expect it will be a 74..
