When I took the AUD exam about two weeks ago, I remember all three of my MC sections being about the same in difficulty..medium. Does that mean anything? I didn’t come across anything that was too difficult..

There were a few questions which were tricky but I was able to whittle it down to two choices.

I never had a section where I felt I got every question right and never had a section with extremely difficult questions..I felt Becker prepared me well to be honest though. Questions which might have been designated as “difficult” were essentially questions similar to those I’ve seen from the Becker homework.

To be honest, on the whole, I felt pretty good coming out of the exam BUT I am so nervous that I made enough careless mistakes to have failed the exam.. :/

In terms of sims, there were three I was able to get through the authoritative literature alone. There were two others I felt comfortable with. There were two though which I had some trouble with..there was one J/E-related one which left me guessing on a third of it.

So, what does this mean?

Sorry for not articulating my experience better.

I hate to say it but theres not a single thing that can give you a clue right now of how you did. I took exams that I swore I failed, and some I did and some I didn't. Then when you consider the weighting system used…….. waiting can and will drive you totally insane.

Hey took audit yesterday. felt the same about it.. 3 medium difficulty testlets with 2 questions that was unsure about.. but could whittle down to 2 answers.

2 sims i had never seen a ques that could have prepared me for them before, used research to answer those.

rest were ok… it was an ok exam… let me know how u did then we can decipher what all this really means

I had a similar experience back in January and I passed…..all 3 testlets were the same. It sounds like you did well. I haven't taken an exam yet where I felt like I passed and failed and vice versa. If they didn't get more difficult, than you knew your stuff!!
