Audit is my last exam and I already took it 3 times with a 71,74, and 72. I used NINJA MCQ on my first 2 attempts and Becker on my last one. I keep getting weak on simulations, does anybody have any suggestions or tips on how to improve? I would greatly appreciate it.

Abandon the simulation on the study. Keep hammering the multiple choice question. The AUD simulation is hard to prepare. If you remember your MC, you should get about 60 to 70%. The MC, you need to get 85% correct. If you hammer the MC, you should get around 90%. I always get weaker on the sims on all my exams. Still passed 86-FAR, 82-BEC, 82-REG, 78-AUD. I did like 3000 MC in 3 weeks after first 73 on AUD before taking my exam again…

so SIM: 60% * 40%(of total test score) = 24% of total
MC: 85% * 60%(of total test score) = 51% of total
Passed = 75 out of 100

BEC - Passed - 7/27/15 - 25%
FAR - Passed - 10/1/15 - 50%
REG - Passed - 4/19/16 - 75%
AUD - Schedule - 5/24/16

Doing simulations did help me with a couple of simulations on the AUD exam. And looking up things in the AL helped with two more of them. There was one humongous simulation that was completely horrific. I tried my best but really had no idea.

I used CPAExcel and Ninja, did all the MCQs and simulations once. No repeats (other than the Ninja/CPAExcel overlap). I do the MCQs by topic/category. 95.

It's not like the review courses really offer that many simulations anyways.

FAR - June 2016 - 88
REG - July 2016 - 89
AUD - Aug 2016 - review phase currently
BEC - Sep 2016 -
