    hello,

    so I have gone through beckers material once (created index cards, etc) and after this Wednesday I will have 22 days until exam day. Testing 1/15

    If you are dedicated then definitely. I did my full studying for audit in three weeks, but I had a lot of down time at work during that period and they let me study when I was free so that helped. Definitely doable though. I feel like most people over study for the exam. You will never know every little thing that could be asked, so keep that in mind! good luck!

    BEC - 76 7/22/14
    AUD - 84 8/30/14
    REG - 75 10/16/14
    FAR - 87 11/24/14

    Definitely doable. I took about 4 weeks for mine. My suggestion is to try not to memorize but to understand why behind the concepts. I found AUD to be similar to a reading comprehension exam where you're not trying to find the “correct” answer but the “best” answer. Best way to do this, in my opinion, is to knock out tons of MCQ and familiarize yourself with the format of the types of questions you'll get. I went into the exam with a bunch of weak areas still but still ended up passing which I attribute to the sims. Make sure you read through the whole question and all the answers thoroughly. You will have more than enough time to do so at least twice. Lastly, make sure you utilize the AL on the sims as it really saved my butt when I found 3 of my sims word for word. Good luck!

    FAR 8/18/2014--87
    AUD 10/18/2014--78
    REG 11/24/2014--76
    BEC 2/28/2015--76

    I passed AUD in two weeks while working full time and not as an auditor.

    @jstay: I am scheduled to take AUD on 1/20 and just started studying about 1 week ago or so, but hope to finish up my videos during my week off for Christmas. Afterwards, I have to go back to work but the plan is to knock out as many MCQs and SIMs with a review of NINJA notes as possible. Here's to passing the AUD test in Jan 2015!

    @DJfromfullhouse, are you REALLLLLLY DJ from Full House? I just had to ask since based on the name. 🙂

    2002-2003 (when it was 2 Day Test):
    AUD - 69, 80, 81
    LAW - 73, 73, 73
    TAX- 71, 72, 67*
    FAR- 66, 63, 57*
    (*on 3rd try, just tried to pass AUD & LAW while getting above 50 on these;didn't work)

    2012-Present:
    AUD - 73, 76 (expired 01/31/14), 70 (UGH)!, 86 (4/4/15 - praise God)!!
    BEC- 55, 69, 69, 78 (expired 10/31/14), 5/26/15...76!!!! AND I'M FINALLY DONE!!!
    FAR- 71, 71, 70, sat 11/24/14 - 75 PASSED!
    REG- 65, 67, 71, 66, sat 10/4/14; 75 PASSED!

    Definitely doable! I was able to pass with only 4 weeks of studying. Make sure to use the AL when completing the SIMS. I can't stress that point enough. Don't try to rush through the material, definitely make sure you are understanding the concepts behind everything and do as much MCQ as you can while still comprehending why questions are right and why the other answers are wrong.

    AUD: 81!
    BEC: 75!
    FAR: 54, 74, 89!
    REG: 67, 86!

    Feasible and especially if you have some relevant AUD experience. AUD is a section that is extremely intuitive for some people (I found it to be). I was able to answer questions strictly based on practice from my own working experience.
