Just curious to see. Maybe certain months are just harder to pass. My theory would be that its easier to pass during January/February and April/May because its busy season, so if you put the time in you should be able to do better than the people that are working hard and think they can get an exam in.

AUD Q1 2013.

I was completely shocked when I made a 68. I walked out feeling pretty good, a lot better than I did FAR, and I passed FAR! Just retook AUD. We shall see…..

FAR: 79 (Becker basic)
AUD: 68 (Becker basic), 91 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
BEC: 64 (blind), 81 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
REG: 68 (Becker basic), 73 (Becker, WTB, NINJA), REMATCH 2/27

Auditing in February… I KNEW I had passed, I would have bet anyone on it. I got a 70! I couldn't get up from the hotel bathroom floor for an hour.

The second time I took it, in April, I felt the exact same walking out, but this time was more unsure of course… how could I feel so good the first time and not pass, and feel the same the second time, and pass? So, I was just calm about everything. I got an 84. WHAT?!!

Stronger on SIMS both times, so the MCQ messed me up a bit apparently. I truly though my AUD SIMS were relatively easy. Either I just studied exactly what I needed or I got “easy” ones. I found most in the AL.

AUD: 84
REG: 84
BEC: 79
FAR: 83

I think that due to the timing of this thread, you'll get more responses for Q2 2013 overall. If you posted another “thought you failed but passed”, you'd probably get similar results for the same tests and same periods. At the moment, I haven't failed one, so can't contribute beyond that…but at least in theory, the timing of your exam doesn't really make a difference.

AUD 2013 2Q.

Had done a more review for that damn test than any other section. Walked out thinking mid-80s….failed with 71. Retake was in July, thought I scored in the 90's and got an 81.

HATE HATE HATE AUD. All of you Auditors know all of the material and skew the difficulty for us non-Audit people.

REG 8/31/12 Passed: 80
FAR 1/10/13 Passed: 82
BEC 4/4/13 Passed: 77
AUD 5/28/13 Failed: 71 WTF?????
AUD 7/11/13 Passed: 81
ETHICS Passed: 93

DONE!!!!!

i think Q2 2013 being the last quarter you can take AUD before the changes occurred had something to do with it.

more candidates = more fails…due to the curve, they only pass 40 sumthin % of us

REG-65,71,74,73,70,74,79
BEC-60's,60's,69,71,76*,78
FAR-67,66,65,79
AUD-54,60's,65,83*,69,80
*expired

DONE
