I only have one more day before taking AUD and just botched Becker’s practice exam 2 and did not do so great on exam 1 either…. Are these practice exams an accurate prediction of the real score for audit? I’m at the point where I don’t know what to do. If I do not pass this more likely than not BEC will drop off… How should I spend my last 30 or so hours before the exam? Also…trending score on Ninja is only 74 and average is 69 🙁

Make sure you have reviewed Becker's Appendix on the Ratios and Formulas…I never did that assuming that those wouldn't be tested….big mistake. I also didn't know Govt & NFP as much as I probably should have.

I didn't do the Becker final exam when I took AUD but I did before I took BEC in July and on one of them I scored a 67. I ended up passing BEC with 83…there's a thread on here that is Becker vs. actual, maybe this would help specifically for Audit:

Good luck!!

FAR - 76
AUD - 74, 74
BEC - 83
REG - TBD

I feel the same with BEC, 3 days before exam… Second attempt after 72 fail score, now i know much much more, but feel scared as hell! 🙁

With BEC I know that the Becker exam 2 was basically ridiculous and impossible. I got like a 40-50% or something crazy. I kind of think that was so you freak out and end up buying additional study materials. With REG that wasnt the case and the exams seemed accurate so I was just wondering if AUD was the same or not.

NancyD8 – don't rely too much on these tests. They are just practice exams. Just do last minute review of concepts that you think are your weak/average links.

Thanks for the encouragement! I've been studying for a year now for this and 8 years finishing school (undergrad + grad) while working full time. It just is getting to the point of feeling like this lifestyle never ends, and this long journey has really taken a toll on my attitude and mental health :/ Just need this to be over and get my life back!

I failed all of the Becker final exams except 1 (happened to be Audit) and I passed all of the actual tests. I made a high 50's one REG 1 and low 60's on REG 2 and still passed just a couple days later. These tests are not good indicators RE: whether you are going to pass the test.

FAR 04/11/2016 - 84
AUD 05/12/2016 - 79
BEC 07/06/2016 - 81
REG 08/29/2016
