    NJ you will get the formulas. Just keep writing and reviewing them. I think I have most of them in my head (not 100%) but sometimes when the calc questions are long and wordy with a lot of extra information that is when I freeze up.

    AUD - 73,91
    FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
    BEC - 73,79!!!!
    REG - 92 whatttt??!

    I think this will be the first section where I actually use the whole “write down the all formulas you think you won't remember on that dry erase sheet as soon as you sit down” strategy 🙂

    FAR: 73, 77 (July 14)
    AUD: 94 (August 14)
    BEC: 83 (October 14)
    REG: NOV

    Oh boy, October is almost here and of course I'm slipping behind in Becker. I've had to push my first 2 exams back due to this pattern but I can't afford to do that this time as I will have back to back midterms all through October.

    Time to pick up the slack! Good luck everyone, keep up the hard work!

    REG: ***92*** (5/14/14)
    FAR: ***83*** (8/17/14)
    BEC: ***89*** (10/3/14)
    AUD: ***86*** (2/22/15)

    Hey NJ – Having a formula page (s) by topic could help, which you read on a daily basis.

    @Zack sorry I do not. I did one for FAR, but in hindsight a formula page for BEC would have been useful.

    I know this was a few days ago, but I got this question in WTB today and wanted to respond:

    (from about halfway up this page, posted by Casagarber)

    According to the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Standards,
    the internal audit function should have all of the
    following competencies except:

    Knowledge of key information technology risks.
    Knowledge to evaluate fraud risk.
    Knowledge of information technology audit techniques.
    Knowledge of financial reporting.

    The answer is D, because even though financial reporting is helpful as general knowledge, it is not one of the specified comptencies for internal auditors. They absolutely must be familiar with evaluating fraud risk and management, as well as the following for IT: risks, controls, and audit techniques.

    See 1210 – Proficiency:

    https://na.theiia.org/standards-guidance/Public%20Documents/IPPF%202013%20English.pdf

    AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
    FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
    REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
    BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

    Thanks jrosen!

    @len- For AUD I used Becker and Ninja MCQs because I was memorizing Becker questions. For what it's worth, I think Ninja MCQs were harder (at least for AUD). I am using Becker and Ninja for BEC as well.

    Anyone else using Ninja? Trending score?

    Got my 1.5 hrs in this morning, going to run a 10k and be back in the afternoon!
