Hey Guys,

Do you all think I could study for and take the audit section in 17 days? I just graduated and did well in my audit class. I also interned during busy season for a big four firm in their audit practice.

AUD(06/09/16) - 77
REG (07/11/16) - 68

Short answer: yes.

But honestly, I doubt interning will help with the test. It is mostly academic and may not related to actual audit.

If you are fresh out of school, 17 days should be plenty to get you ready if you study hard. If you do not work, then it makes it more doable.

Also do you have approved application to begin with?

I got the highest score on the final exam in audit class.

And then I failed AUD. So no, I do not.

AUD - 74, 99 !!
REG - 74, 92
BEC - 83
FAR - 73, 86

17 days is not much time, unless you can study for 8 hours a day. Possible but tough. Interning probably will not add much benefit to the exam. If you were a full-time public auditor and in-charging engagements, then maybe. It wasn't until I in-charged an audit engagement when everything finally came together, starting with the engagement letter through planning, fieldwork, and putting together the audit report. Unfortunately, interning doesn't expose you to all that. Good luck!

Take it from my experience do not rush your study time. Put all the time in and pass the first time. If you can, wait to schedule your exam until you are comfortable with the material.
