    Rather than buying more text books to study, I would advise you to practice more questions. You can buy another test bank, whatever your choice is, and attempt at least 100 questions from each topic. All these multiple choice exams are the same – the more you practice, the better you get. But you also need to take notes from the questions you fail.

    These are rumors… but I have been told the Roger's does a very good explaining AUD. I think that's normal. I mixed Roger and WTB for questions for BEC and it was hard. I'm dying right now from FAR questions. But totally agree with above poster, keep doing questions. That's the only way to learn.

    AUD - 83
    BEC - 80
    FAR - 83
    REG - 78
    BEC - 80 (Roger + NINJA MCQ + WTB)

    FAR - 72; 83 (Roger + NINJA MCQ)

    AUD - 83 (Roger + NINJA MCQ + WTB)

    REG - 52; 78 (Roger + NINJA MCQ)

    Ethics - 68, 96 (how I dislike you)

    50% first time getting into the questions isn't that bad. If you get several hundred questions in and are still around 50% I'd be worried, but not yet. If you notice that certain areas are remaining weak areas, go review that section in the book, but otherwise sounds like you're doing pretty good.

    Wiley and Roger are the two I've heard acclaimed most for AUD specifically, so given you're combining the two of them I'd say you're in pretty good shape! (Roger used to use Wiley's book once upon a time – he doesn't anymore [if memory serves me right…], but I imagine his is still fairly similar…)

    Coming off what Lilla said, Roger's once used Wiley Test Banks, but no more. However, his current test bank is still lacking, I'd use another, like NINJA.

    Are you watching Roger's lectures? I get a lot more out of the videos than I do reading. I would also recommend the Ninja notes & MCQ. Re-writing the notes and drilling away at the MCQ helped point at my weak areas. Once I knew where I was struggling I went back to the topics in the Roger material and really dug in to make sure I really understood the topic.

    Practice makes perfect. The trick to Audit questions are to know where you are in the engagement and what type of engagement you are doing. As said before, practice, practice, practice, is the only way to get it down.
