All, I am in a serious bind with timing and am about to lose credit for some exams. My Becker license is about to expire and I cannot afford to repurchase this or even get through all the material for AUD in the next 3 weeks. I have Ninja Audio, MCQ, and notes for AUD. What should I do to cram at this point? Is doing only Ninja MCQ enough to pass audit? Becker is great don’t get me wrong, but for audit I feel like the videos are not doing much for this section and find it is wasting my time. I work 60+ hours a week and need to make the most out of these last few weeks.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Did you finish reading the AUD textbook? I always read the book before doing the MCQs, so can't say if just questions will be enough. For some people that seems to work. I'd skip watching videos. Watching videos and taking down your own notes is very time consuming. Doing 80 zillion MCQs is also time consuming, so I only do “new questions.”

If you are having trouble focusing, I suggest reading out loud. I get distracted by the internet easily and accounting is probably the least interesting reading material, so reading out loud really helped.

it can be enough if you ensure to read the answers and understand why you get some wrong. Ninja doesn't always have all the info in the Notes, so MCQ is better but make sure you read and take notes where you don't get something right. I only used Ninja had got an 86. while there's some luck to these exams in the questions you get…for AUD I felt I was well-prepared. go through every SIM at least once as well.that's where you may realize you're lacking some knowledge and can go back to your books to assist. good luck!

I used the Becker AUD flashcards pretty effectively. I watched videos, did some MCQ (not that much), but felt like I was spinning my wheels. A week before the exam I went through the flash cards, threw out maybe 2/3 of them that seemed obvious or less relevant, then pounded through my stack over and over for a few days. I did some MCQ after that and saw a huge improvement, then nailed an 84 on the exam. Not sure if you have the cards but they might be a nice change up.

FAR - Pass
AUD - Pass
REG - Awaiting score
BEC - Scheduled

I do not have the Ninja book, only Becker book. I am an incredibly slow reader which is why for the last few exams I have not read the book, but watched the lectures. Is the Ninja book easier to get through than Becker? I am willing to do whatever to get through this in 3 weeks even if it means buying the Ninja book and reading it asap.

it's shorter but honestly most the material you will get in the MCQ so I would use your becker book to get the main concepts/passkeys and pound MCQ, using your becker book to fill in the blanks. ninja book is still something like 450 pages, while much more spaced out with examples so there's not as much nonsense on each page. in the unfortunate chance you have to retake, I'd get the 10 point combo from ninja. spending that much on becker is not worth it once you've been through the material before and you'll have the book to drill into concepts if needed.
