    Hello,

    New to the board and I have a question for all of you who worked before taking the CPA exam. I have worked at a small firm for two tax seasons doing mainly 1040 work along with some corp/partnership/trust returns. I have also audited roughly 15 companies since my start here. How well does experience translate AUD & REG sections? Thank you.

    The experience definitely helps. I had an easy time understanding the material in the AUD section due to my AUD experience. Doesn't mean you don't need to study (believe me, you do), but you'll likely have an easier time grasping the material,

    BEC - 90 PASSED
    FAR - 84 PASSED
    AUD - 93 PASSED
    REG - 84 PASSED

    I DID IT!!!!
