    I have been studying AUD using Becker for about 2 weeks now and have been feeling like crap. I am now at A4 and it is seriously killing me. I understand the nature of AUD is 99% conceptual but still…the book and lectures are words after words and paragraphs after paragraphs to the point I kinda gave up on them and went with just hammering MCQs (not sure if it is a good move…any thoughts?)

    Homework wise I think I am okay. First go around usually averaged a 65-70% and I learn as I do them. Second go around scores are mostly in the 80’s. Progress tests wise are in the high 80’s low 90’s. Is this a good sign?

    OHHHH and the sims… How representative are Becker SIMs of the real exam? especially a4 lol. The ones in A4 are ridiculous

    Daniel – hahah mine is about an hour total as well, but just because I use train, if not would probably be much more.

    got my AUD retake performance report yesterday… painful to see STRONGER on ALL MCQ.. and weaker in SIMS… lol (70) — I know its due to those FAR-like SIMS… considering I know I got the research correct and AT LEAST most of if not all of 2 of the others.

    That's weird. I didn't have any FAR like SIMs. It was all at least sort of related to auditing.

    lucky! Both of my AUD tests I've gotten a few with heavy calculations… I was in disbelief.

    mine were tought, but just because I got transaction cycles. But I don't really know what you guys call FAR related as I have not taken FAR yet. However, if you refer to JE adjustments, I think those were very simple to find out.

    I haven't taken FAR yet either, but one can tell they have gone beyond your basic calculations involved (or at least said to be tested) at the AUD level…
