I really do love audit so much I took it a second time.

Took AUD on 12/4/16 and got a 70. Did not allocate enough time to MCQS, too much emphasis on the SIMS.

Went back and studied about 65+ hours and that test was literally brutal. The MCQ testlets I feel more comfortable with (M,D,M). But those SIMS…….. I don’t think if I was given them before the test to study I would have even still done well.

Not even sure I want this certification anymore.

BEC – 77 (10/1/16 : Becker)
AUD – 70 (12/4/16 : Becker) Retake (1/22/17 : Becker + Ninja MCQ)
REG – TBD
FAR – TBD

This test isn't easy and is far harder than any other exam you have probably taken in your life. Don't get discouraged from pushing forward if you fail an exam. Just keep working hard and you will get there. Ya it sucks that this exam takes up your life, but you will be happy you did it once it is over. Keep on keeping on

FAR: 74 1/15/16, 72 7/2/16 -_-
BEC: TBD
REG: TBD
AUD: TBD

@guitarman2016 I didn't even get the score yet but not feeling too hot despite feeling well with MCQs. As soon as I saw the sims I knew I was in for some trouble.

@Andrew could you do research question right ? based on my experience at least 2 question would be always bonus question like 2+4 = ? type ratio calculation or DRS etc .So how many SIMS you could do 100% ?

[AndrewE]

@Nath I'm not even confident with the research question just based on the luck with the rest of the questions. They were probably the worst of the worst.

I would tell you the topics or what they were related to put, but not even sure if if that much disclosure is even allowed

@Andrew I don't want any hint of questions but just wondering how when u did so well in MCQ ,couldn't do so well in SIM.Because I feel SIM is just MCQ in different format.Only possibilities I can guess may be you are taking AUD before FAR.If that is the case then you may find SIM tough.

I had same experience on my Audit retake. I felt very good about the MCQ's, but the Sims were absolutely Brutal. My AUD Sims were much harder than my FAR Sims and I passed FAR with a 77. But, I'm pretty sure the fact that my testlets got harder (MCQ to SIMS) means that I did well. I'll find out Feb 7th!

Don't get discouraged, AUD is not easy! Sounds like you were well prepared and you probably did just fine! I got 2 74's in a row last year and was so discouraged (I was ready to just quit) but I was able to stick it out and make it through, I finally passed in Q4.

Good Luck!

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

@njvath @cpa4928 we shall see score release on the 23rd, now the question is FAR or REG up next?

[AndrewE]

Passed with a 75! I pray that REG does not bring the same anxiety as waiting for these results did. 3/9 here we come.
