I am on anxiety overload, I am taking AUD on Saturday and I feel confident on some thing and then other not at all. I have only given myself 6 weeks to study and missed one week due to being sick and Thanksgiving. I know there is someone out there who will post that they scored a 90 and only studied 4 weeks, but I am a 40yr old fulltime working mother of 2 so I don’t have all the hours of the night to study. I manage an hour and a half at work and then another hour to hour an half at home after work plus 4 hours on the weekend. I listen to the audio all day at work, watch NINJA Plus, do NINJA MCQ and re write notes to condense to vocab works and mnemonics. Am I stressing for nothing?

This is the pot calling the kettle black since my REG exam is on Saturday too. Being nervous will only worsen your mentality before the exam. But for AUD, go with your instinct. Read the question carefully and just go slow. I feel the consensus for AUD is that people have so much time, since there's VERY little math (note: there's still some).

Another tip, stop comparing yourself to another one's progress. Their strengths are not your strengths, same with weaknesses. If I keep thinking to myself how slow I am going about to pass these exams, I'll force myself to take the exam when I'm not ready and that's such a waste of time and money. You're ready when you're ready. Keep reading those audit reports and make sure you have those assertions DOWN TO THE TEE. Like really, think about what the SIMs can be tested on. Make sure to use the AL for everything.

@hasy Thank you. I have noticed that I need to slow down and re read the question two or three times or I will select and answer then while it is deciding if I am right or not see the answer I should of chosen since I had time to process the question. I try not to compare myself but get discouraged sometimes, the only reason I scheduled it this soon was to be able to take it right away in Jan if I fail. I would rather do that than take it in Jan and then have to wait until April to retake. My goal was to have 2 completed before tax season, I am retaking BEC at the end of Jan. There was reason to my madness.
