Hello Folks, I am so pleased to announce that I just received my IL AUD score, and its almost surreal as I passed with a 94. I know I was very confident this time going in and taking the text, but the SIMS had me a bit perplexed, but I tried my best and felt comfortable about most of them. I also felt very confidently about the MC, but you know with these tests you can never be sure. And yes, I got the same question 3 times! LOL!

The funny thing is that my score went up from my first attempt of 62. It’s almost surreal to even expect a 32 point jump in score, but let me assure you, it was all study attitude: I refused to allow any materials to be too cumbersome, confusing, or perplexing. Before I was like “Ewww, I hate AUD”. And this time I was like “Yeah, I may not prefer this stuff, but I am going to ace it. If others can do it, then so will I, no doubt”.

But I also freely admit that perhaps I got a bit lucky in the exam that I got, and I really felt (and still feel) awfully blessed that I got an exam that I can roll with.

With some slight modifications in study habits, study materials, priorities and overall mental attitude, I raised my score considerably. That means ANY of you can too, trust me. I feel so blessed, and I thank several of you on this forum for helping me reach for the stars and beat this roadblock. After almost breezing through the other parts, I got humiliated on AUD. And with good cause. It was my kryptonite. With some of your help, guidance, assistance and overall support (if not empathy), I am done with this.

Thanks again folks. Thanks very much indeed.

@another74: yes, i did. i did the first three parts in a short time and got high scores, thus i was spoiled going into AUD the first time. lol! boy did i wake up fast! now i am done with the exams (except ethics), but will stay on the site because i want to continue to learn about the exam, changes in the exam, the AICPA, and also other things that are going on with the AICPA (other designations, like the ABV, CFF, CGMA, etc.).

@jomarie: if i had not passed AUD, i would have had to retake two sections too. don't worry, and don't get down. i also was willing to do it again, and was not going to blink an eye. am i glad that i don't have to? yes. am i dramatically glad and totally relieved? no. because if something is important to you, you will just get it done no matter what. this CPA is a tough challenge as are other exams, but it's doable. i was prepared to do it all over again if i had to. hope you pass the ones you took!
