    Taking audit next week for the second time. Got a 65 the first time and I would really appreciate any advice. Does anyone think CPAReviewforfree.com is helpful? I also have Becker final review and the standard review software. Don’t know what to expect on the simulations.

    I think Becker is more than sufficient…I was clueless on a few of the simulation questions, and I made a 79 just due to the M/C. Becker M/C for audit are the best representation of what the exam will be like more than any part I have taken thus far. Also, do the two final exams on Becker because those simulations are a better picture of what the sims will be than the simulations for each chapter are. I glanced at cpareviewforfree, but all it did was put me on information overload!

    Good Luck with Audit!

    My Advice is to SLOW DOWN in the MCQs! I average 30 minutes on the first 3 testlet and thougt the simulations were super easy! I knew the material and memorized every report possible, but I failed with a 70!

    The exam is 4 1/2 hours, so take your time!

    I finished the exam like in 3 hours 45 minutes cause I thought it was easy and just flew by the questions!

    I don't have a clue where I went wrong, I'm still waiting for my offiicial score analysis.

    I passed BEC with a 77 but faied REG with a 74. Now, I'm getting ready for FAR in 3 weeks and my confidence is shakened.

    Which review course did you take for AUD? I'm using Yaeger….

    Thanks for that! I'm using Becker's review as well as the Becker Final Review Product. Any advice on the simulations and how long they were for you? I'm scared of running out of time on those

    Both simulations I took consisted of clicking the right answer: T or F, then A B C D. The communications were very straight forward and the research I know 100% that I did right. I could've finish each simulation in 30 minutes but I took my time with them…..cause I flew by the MCQs thinking I would need more time for the simulations. I wish I could've have the time left over from the simlations to go back to the MCQs to double check my MCQs answers…..

    I would recommend go over every MCQ a second time to ensure you understand the call of the question. Time is usually not an issue with AUD. I went over every MCQ a second time and still had 30 minutes left. I was not rushed through the simulations and even had trouble with one of the research and still had 30 minutes left over. I believe the MCQ plus the communications tab will make or break your exam. Good Luck.
