Its my AUD retake after scoring 73.Weak on evidence and report last time. Aud in 4 day, please let me know how i should approach my last 4 days of studies. Wiley test bank or Wiley book Q, or read the book. It is impossible to go over all the Q in the test bank. I also think it might not cover all the concepts. I am really confused. Please help.

If you use Ninja MCQ look at what is your weak areas and practice some questions. I would do some SIMS (even though lot of people say its waste of time but they weigh 40% of the grading). I did review big topics like transaction cycles, Audit reports, audit evidence/documentation before my exam.

I cant give you much advise because I took AUD last week and waiting for score. Good luck!!

@Kanwal78
Please share your AUD exam experience. Is sampling important.. How was Q,s difficulty level in the exam. Which review you use.

i dont think SIMS are a waste of time because they help you apply the concepts

@ cpa007…any questions on any topic is a fair game. You cannot know all but understanding the concept is a key. For my exam, I can never tell when the testlets are getting harder or medium. I don’t think anything was out of leftfield with exception of just a couple. I had 1 hour 45 minutes for SIMS and they were reasonable, AL was pain in the back but I think I might have got it right. I have a mix feeling so can’t say for sure will pass or fail. Waiting for 11/04.

I agree do the SIMS, I was doing Ninja MCQ's and didn't do 1 of the 80 sims less then a week before the exam. I was trending 96% and averaging 80% so I felt pretty comfortable where I was at. I decided 3 days before the exam to work on some of the SIMS. I was bombing them pretty hard! I ended up freaking out and doing 75 of the 80 sims–like @Sticky Nicky says they may be the same concepts as the MCQs but they are different ways of asking those questions which can throw you off. Worst case you do them and you score well and reinforce what you already know.

I would review adjusting journal entries that could come up during an audit. I used Ninja, CPA Excel and Wiley.
