    Hi Everyone – Planning to take Aud around second or third week of April. Using Yaegar 2009 material. Just took Far on

    2/27. Compared to Far , the Aud material does not seem as much, and its all theory. Hoping for the best.

    Good Luck.

    Hi all,

    I'm planning to take AUD sometime in April. I just took REG today, so haven't started my AUD studies yet. I'm waiting until I get started to determine when I want to take the exam. Work is crazy busy right now ……

    I'm using Becker home study and Final Review.

    Taking AUD on April 3rd and using Becker. Half-way through the 3rd lecture now and planning on finishing up lectures by Friday since its Spring Break (there are 5). Will have 2 weeks to review before I sit. I wish it wasn't soo much straight memorization. It seems like reading the explanation of the answers is helpful in learning the material.

    NY Candidate using Becker: FAR (2/20) - 81, AUD (4/3) - 92, REG (5/3) - 95, BEC (5/29) - 89 DONE!!!

    Christian 2823….you and I are in the same boat only one month apart. I'm taking FAR on 5/1 and then AUD on 5/31.

    I probably won't even drink after the FAR exam as I'll need Sunday 5/2 to kick off studying for AUD. Oh joy!

    Hi Everyone:

    I'm taking AUD on 04/03.(My third Time). I'm currently finishing with the Evidence portion and hopefully will be done with Reports by Sunday. Then I have two weeks for review and pray to the ALL MIGHTY GODS to PASSSS..!!!! I'm using the Wiley Book for Review Materials and Gleim Softaware for M/C… So far I've done 1,800 questions..!!!!

    If anyone has suggestions for the final review, let me know. I really appreciated…

    P.D… –>> Currently Waiting for the BEC scores..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I also have the Wiley book and Gleim. However, reading the Wiley book and doing questions in Gleim are an inefficient way to learn. Where are the lectures? If something does not work, try something else. The most efficient way to learn is to listen and then do multiple choice questions.

    If I did not pass AUD, and I expect that I did not pass, I will be looking for another review course too! The AICPA exam killed me on Reports in the last exam. I am now studying Audit Reports with Roger and Becker. I am also taking extensive notes. My next step is to work Gleim Online and Gleim Test Prep. I want to nail Reports if I have to retake the AUD exam.

    Commit your plan to the Lord, and you will succeed!

    Becker for AUD worked great for me (94). I only saw 3 or 4 questions that weren't covered in my materials. For those studying for this section I would recommend doing as many MC questions as you can get your hands on. Don't just look for the correct answers when doing them. When you read the problem try and identify what the topic they are asking about is and what you know of it before looking at the answers. Don't just find the correct answer, but also why the incorrect answers are incorrect (and what would have to change to make them correct). With the Becker questions, I did all the questions 4-5 times (including supplemental questions). Many of the exam questions could have been a copy/paste out of the homework on the actual exam.

    I originally was planning on taking AUD May 25, but am getting sent to Germany for work the two weeks before that. I changed my test date to May 7th now. Do you think I will still be in wave 2, or will that possibly bump me up to wave 1? I'm not sure I'll be able to make the over a month and a half waiting for a score!

    BEC 89, AUD 5/7, FAR & REG TBD

    Thanks, Jeff for assuring me that I was ok with 2009 Yaegar material for FAR and that I had to practice more, since I did clear on my second attempt scored a 77. Also, I want to add that Cindy and Phil have been very helpful at explaining the concepts in FAR.

    Also, as of now trying to study for AUD , it is quite difficult to stay focused with the kind of material there is. If anyone is using Yaegar 2009, any help or advice would help.

    thanks

    I came to say “HI” because I failed AUD (just found out today) with a 65 (on my fourth attempt). I don't have a game plan yet, but I am thinking April, and REG in May.

    IL - 11/24 AUD

    ihatestudying – It is difficult to accept, but I would think that you should not lose hope that easy and keep trying till u are able to achieve your goals. Remain positive. Maybe you need another study plan or material .
