    Hello ninjas,

    Does anyone know if NINJA authoritative literature is identical to the actual exam?

    I do not recall the exam format that I took months ago. I looked at AICPA practice exam and it was very tiny.

    I am really worried about audit simulation. Do you guys believe covering ninja sim will get you ready?

    Any pointer for audit retaker? thanks 🙂

    @mhei8116. I see your point. I don't think Ninja covers it very well. My best advice will be to get access to 6 months free authoritative literature. The only reason why I was able to answer research questions on my AUD exam was my familiarity with the AL.

    I don't like the functionality of the free 6 month access. I didn't practice too many, but what I did was look up answers in the AL on the AICPA site. There's no search function, but if you know where to look you can still find them fairly quick. You already took FAR so you should be familiar with the software on the exam. I would still try the practice exam like Moniker said, even though it only gives you a small portion of the AL. I had 2 research questions on my exam and found them both in less than a minute. I needed that extra time because a couple of my sims took me almost a half hour.
