    Hi all, I was scheduled to take my AUD exam yesterday, but unfortunately the Prometric center was closed due to poor weather. I was able to reschedule for the next opening two cities over – for March 8th. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with a cancelled exam and knows the best way to retain knowledge when you felt ready to take the exam the first go around.

    Any low effort/time tips would be appreciated as I will be studying for BEC at the same time, too! Thanks!

    Happened to me on one exam. I kept doing MCQs re-read areas I was weak in. I focused on my worst areas and cycled through flash cards if there was basic memorizing items.

    I’d memorize the auditors letter verbatim. This has helped me long term bc for some reason I still know the bulk of it two years later. It impressed my boss and coworkers haha!!

    I agree…..use the time doing MCQ's and do simulations. I would print out the ones I got wrong and read the reasons why they were wrong and make notes. There are some good simulation videos on youtube I would watch if I just couldn't read anymore.

    Thank y'all! I've been studying BEC about 4-5 hours a day, so I'm going to reduce that by 30 minutes and spend that 30 minutes maintaining my audit knowledge. Just gonna keep nailing the MCQ's and re-reading the notes I took.

    I did ninja audio for AUD and loved it! It helped me keep things fresh while studying!!
