Sorry to hear that Peanut. But this is a btich of an exam, and a lot of people fail it. Every time you fail an exam, it will just add to the amazing feeling of being free when you finally pass (trust me). Switch things up a bit and kill AUD next time. You got this!
I feel so lost. I have NO idea how to restudy for this. Any other time I've failed (which have been millions) I came up with a plan of attack. This time, I seriously have NO idea. I did all Becker MCQs twice, read the book twice, all the flash cards, did all the Wiley MCQ's once… So maybe no Becker this time?? Or just the Becker book but no questions?.. I feel like I should switch my review. Becker is very good, but hey, I've failed twice so I pretty much have the MCQs memorized… I still have my Wiley pin so I guess two runs through those MCQs. But wtf, what else?! I feel like I did EVERYTHING I could have to prepare myself for this exam…
Well your scaring me since I'm waiting on Audit too. I never felt great about it though. If you failed then I feel like I'm doomed.
Maybe try Roger Cram & Ninja Notes for a new perspective? I'm using Rog for Audit but I don't have anything to compare him to since he's all I ‘ve used. Problem is though, he uses Wiley though too so it's not like you'll be getting new questions. 🙁
I am so so sorry…. I know you're not really quitting. Was so hoping for good news. E-Mail me if you want my notes. I used Bisk so it might help to have a different angle.
i swear by the GleimMCQs….that's how I got over the AUD hump…they have over 2k audit questions…drill drill drill!
REG-80, 77, 77
BEC-67, 68, 71, 67, 71, 74, 71, 74, 72, 77
FAR- 72, 65,67, 53, 75 (truth be known the 53 was with 4 hours of studying)
AUD-58, 62, 72, 74, 74, 75
took 5 years but I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Peanut, I am sorry to hear about the 72. That sucks!!!!! Last window I got a 74 in AUD and this window and 82. I purchased the RogerCram and it really helped me nail down some areas of weakness for me. You will beat AUD next window.
BEC-Passed
AUD-Passed
REG-Passed
FAR-Passed (I AM DONE!!! THANK U LORD!!!!)

I was disappointed to see this, Peanut 🙁 I know you have been a huge inspiration to me and I was checking back to see how you did. I really think you should give Yaeger a try. The lectures are boring – there's no denying that. But they work for a lot of people. I was a B/C student in college so I am shocked at how I am getting decent scores on the exam. The only thing I can attribute it to is my review materials and the effort I'm putting in. You have already given 110% in effort, so the only thing I can think of is your review course if falling short.
@apbandj, I graduated college with a 3.8… I usually REALLY fail—50's kind of fail, or pass these exams. I've never received a score in the low 70's. My last AUD score was a 59–Hey at least I know I'm doing something right to bump 13 points. I want to vomit thinking about opening my Becker book… I do hear very good things about Yeager…
With Yeager… I really don't think I need 20 hours worth of lectures.. I can't pay attention to lectures–at all. I think just reading the Beckermaterial might possibly work better than rewatching a ton of lectures I'm half ass listening too…. This really just blows….
$265 gets you all of CPAexcel's written material (no lectures) and their questions. Worked for me, and it's cheap. Have you tried their free demo?
You know, it's kind of funny.. well not funny at all really, but weird. I had to take every exam twice except for REG, which I had to take three times. 9 tries in total. Looks like you're about to have the exact same test taking record as me Peanut! Maybe that's a good sign. I passed my final exam on my 9th take.
@kandisjoy, I have this theory about 9 exams. I've seen a ton of people finally pass on their 9th time. Unfortunately, I've taken AUD twice already, so I'm going on number 10!!!! UGH! I wanted to be in the 9 club
