I am just sick to my stomach.
I failed AUD, again. I had already passed it but it expired due to failing BEC.
I don't know what to do.
I take BEC Oct 8, the day before my FAR expires.
In Summary:
AUD: Passed 84 (expired due to BEC fails)
FAR: Passed 81 (soon to expire on Oct 9)
REG: Passed 75 (expires 4/2020)
BEC: Yet to pass (62, 61, 66, 70) Set to take Oct 8th.

If I don't pass BEC and FAR expires, I will have three sections I will be studying for. It will be as if I am starting all over again.

What am I doing wrong? Started with BECKER. But when those expired I went back to WILEY due to cost friendly.

Passed my final one – AUD! I'm done with CPA exams after 7 years. Good luck everyone!

@kach

I completely feel your pain. Last year I had to take audit 3 times, as an auditor . Not only did it feel like a huge slap in the face but it was infuriating. I had to take a step back and really drill into thinks til I knew opinions and paragraphs backwards and forwards, and testing methodologies. I switched primarily to ninja – I must have done thousands of mcqs. I also record my study time spent. I think you need to sit down and identify your week topics- and change something . Use the mcq percentage and simulation results as a bench mark of where you stand on certain areas. Think of all your weak areas and attack those first. Audit can be tricky but really what I had to do was sit down and know it backwards and forwards because it can be rather subjective test . Don’t give up!! I know this feeling too well. You most definitely can do this even if it means a few minor set backs. Be kind to yourself today and then tomorrow get back to the drawing board on what you can change and ATTACK 🙂

@Kach, don't give up! You can do it. I had my fair share with BEC as well. I took this 5 good times, scoring 66, 71, 72, 73, finally 82! Trust me, I know the pain. BEC for me was the most difficult as I barely put time into AUD and REG and passed on first attempts. Granted, they were what people would consider low scores but I am an auditor and I constantly travel and barely have time to study.

Also, remember that in the past, people have underestimated how difficult BEC actually is. I believe the new changes in 2017 made it more difficult so do not let this section get you down. It is DIFFICULT. If I can do it, so can you.

That being said, if you are using NINJA, the audio really helped me. As I stated early, I am constantly traveling so the audio was a life saver for me. Just download NINJA audio unto your phone and listen to it over and over. Also, do a lot of MCQs. Good luck!!
