I’ve done Becker questions TWICE and 400 questions with a 80% trend on Ninja MCQ & have read the Ninja Notes fully every other day for a month yet I take both Becker final exams and get a 62-63 average. My test is on Monday. I know projections show that I could pass of course but still……… I’ve been on this section for 8 weeks and haven’t skipped any material.

I’m not sure if I should freak out? Feel dumb? I did much better in FAR but yet feel that was more difficult. I don’t know what else to do besides just try and focus on what I think are weak areas… mainly the cycles & segregation of duties. Would you focus on those questions?

It’d hard for me not to be mad at myself and cry. I’ve really put best effort into this and think I should pass but these stupid final exams have me down.

Needing feedback.

I'm having the same problem – I've done fine with the other sections but I'm consistently getting 76% on MCQ sessions. The answers frequently seem so subjective and stupid to me. Sometimes the answers ask you to take likelihood into account, sometimes you're penalized for doing so. It doesn't make sense to me.

Am I just stupid? At some point during the exam I'm worried I'm going to scream “BUT YOU JUST TOLD ME AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER WAS REQUIRED FOR THAT IN YOUR SIM!” and get kicked out.

Am I the only one finding these answers ridiculous and inconsistent sometimes?

I failed my first time with Becker but passed when I added Ninja. To me Ninja was more representative of what you get on the actual AUD exam. AUD was the only one I had to retake. I absolutely hated it because of its subjective nature. There isn't always just one right answer but a best answer. I found that so annoying.

I would suggest hammering NINJA MCQ until the test. You sound prepared though. Good luck. You got it !

i don't feel prepared at all. It's going to come down to luck. I just don't want to go through all this crap again…I feel like crying.

I actually cried for about an hour yesterday off and on. It totally wiped me out.

I ran in the mountains this morning with my friend who's got her CPA already and we talked it through a bit. I think I have a fighting chance and all I can do is use my last hours wisely and get this done. I'm glad its at 8 in the morning tomorrow and not later or I'd just be chewing up fingernails all day.

I think I'll make it. At least they give us four hours right?

Ready to move on to BEC!
