Hello Fellow CPA Candidates/CPAs,
I joined this forum this morning and am stuck in a dilemma. I have taken FAR in April and Audit in May.
I got a 71 on both tests. Now this is the interesting part. For FAR, I felt really unprepared, and finished the test in 2 hours and 40 minutes. For Audit, I basically knew the whole book; but felt the SIMs might’ve been the reason why I failed.
For people who have been in my shoes, can you please advise me on what to do? I’ve been using Becker and have done all homework 2-3 times. I really thought I would’ve passed Audit and this is just so discouraging. I really do not know how they score this (well, I kind of do since I read AICPA’s PDF on that), but wow, this test is really harder than I already thought it was.
Should I get more review material? NINJA notes? Wiley? I don’t know anyone who uses those personally, so maybe for those who have used these, would you recommend me purchasing Flashcards or some sort from them?
Also, for people who have had to take a section more than once, how do you study the second time? Do the homework questions again? I feel that I should be doing more and not using the same approach…
Thanks in advance!
