I am scheduled to take AUD in about 3 weeks on May 18. I have read through the whole CPAexcel AUD textbook and am now going through the Wiley Test Bank and the Ninja notes/audio. I honestly didn’t think reading the textbook helped that much (and I skipped the video lectures cause they bore me to death). The thing is, I can hold my own when doing Wiley MCQs, it’s just that EACH QUESTION REQUIRES SO MUCH FLIPPIN BRAINPOWER, and I just don’t know if I have what it takes to go through 90 MCQs and 7 simulations on exam day. Should I delay AUD until May 25 and/or change up my study methods?

I just finished the practice exam in CPAExcel. I finished in about 2.5 hours. Most people say that they don't reach the time limit and AUD should be a 3 hour exam.

@Future CFO Any good news I'll take. And I'm not as concerned much about time, it's just that I'm concerned I'll get frustrated and just give up in the middle of the exam. For example, for my first Wiley practice session, I initially got really frustrated and so I got my first 3 questions wrong, then I actually calmed down and started to think and got my next 6 questions right, and I got a 60% overall (in comparison, the highest I have ever gotten for FAR was 63%).

Are you doing the MCQs/SIMs in CPAExcel? Or are you focused on Wiley?

MCQ mainly in Wiley, and Sims mainly in CPAexcel. Wiley keeps effing up when trying to load sims (I got tech support to fix this issue before but I don't want to through that trouble again).
