Cev,
Don't give up! I'm almost certain you passed Audit, if for no other reason, you took it on my birthday :-). Seriously though, listen to what everyone's saying, you have to continue. If you give up you'll most likely only regret it. Besides, you passed REG. For me, that was the scariestI I can tell you for me, throughout the entire CPA studying experience I wasted a lot of time re-reading material, figuring if I really get what I'm reading then doing the questions and simulations will be a breeze. Unfortunately, that wasn't really true. I never REALLY started getting the material until after I did a lot of multiple choice questions, which was usually only a few days before the exam, which left me incredibly stressed, thinking yeah I could pass, but if I only had a few more days, I could really get this stuff. Anyway, all in all, I'd say that way you should study for the sections is not uniformed…
This is what worked for me:
Read the materials watch lectures once or twice (don't beat it to death).
BEC: I made note cards with most of the formulas for Cost Accounting, ratios, and finance stuff and memorized them. I understood the concepts from the lectures and reading, but that was the only way I could get that stuff to stick since the exam isn't open notes.
FAR: I used the same strategy as I did for BEC, since it worked for me…. but I would also recommend practicing a lot of simulations. You obviously won't get the same stuff on your exam, but they help to drill the concepts and you also get used to looking at convoluted information on a computer screen.
REG: Gosh, I hated this section, but no worries, you already passed!
AUDIT: multiple choice questions, multiple choice questions, multiple choice questions!!!!!! It will eventually make sense!
Aud- Pass, BEC- Pass, FAR- Pass, REG- Pass.... Done!
