offlineMemberWell, now that I've gotten over the shock of failing Reg with a 72 and losing my credit for Audit, I'm now back on the forums. I have a question, I'm assuming audit is audit and that not much has changed in the exam over the past few years, but I need to know for sure. I would hate to assume and waste study time. Can I use 2008 study materials for the 2010 exam?

offlineMemberI just took the Audit exam with the 2008 Becher material, and although I have not received my score yet I feel like there has not been any significant change to the material and I was not impeded by "outdated" material. I compared with a friends' 2010 Becher material and could not specifically identify any differences - good luck!

I was considering purchasing your Audit study guide but did not have much study time left before my exam. How many pages are in this book, do you think I will have enough time to get through in a few weeks? Thanks for the help and I appreciate your website!

Having those memorized helped me both on the multiple choice and the simulations. If nothing else, memorize the unqualified audit opinion and know all of the exceptions to that opinion! The AICPA is infamous for asking about obscure opinions.
Practice as many simulations as you can for AUD. AUD is more than knowing the concepts. AUD is also about having a critical and broad view that does not come unless you practice a lot. AUD is the only exam where I did 3,000 multiple choice questions.

offlineMemberHi Everyone!!! I have still been unsuccessful at passing any parts of this exam and I've decided that I'm going to buy the Yeager study materials. I've taken audit 3 times now. The first time was pretty horrible at a 49, the second I increased up to a 68, but on the third I only increased my score 1 point to a 69. I seem to be stuck. I was wondering if the Yeager Cram may be enough to get me over on Audit or if I should just go ahead and start from scratch. I also am a member on Club 75, so I have bought Jeff's audit notes, which I do highly recommend. They are great!!!

AUD kicked my butt too. I took it three times before I passed.
My suggestion is to start all over again with a new review program. My choice for a new AUD review program was Lambers, a 27 hour review course, for about $300. Garland, the teacher for Lamers, is a great teacher like Dr. Phil Yaeger and Cindy. Additionally, Garland explains many multiple choice questions like Yaeger. Yaeger Cram would be a good choice for a week before the exam when you need to be working most the the questions in the Wiley book.
A new AUD program will give you a fresh start. It worked for me.
Good luck and do not give up. Offer your study plan up to God, and your study plan will succeed. You will pass all of these CPA exams!

I hit the freaking-out portion of my life at this moment.
For people using Becker on sampling and government: Becker says it's not a huge portion (chapter 5) I hope that is true! Any consensus?

offlineMemberGuys, I have a question about attest engagement. Base on my understand, we can issue exam report, review report and agree upon procedures on attestation engagement, such as MD&A, prospective financial statement, pro forma financial statement, etc. For prospective financial statement, we can only issue compilation report, exam report and agree upon procedures.
Here is my question, since we can't issue the compilation report on attestation engagement, but why we could issue compilation report for prospective financial statement which is attestation engagement, and why we are not allowed to issue the review report on prospective financial statement. Please advice. Thank you!AUD-75 (Jan. 2011)

offlineMemberI took my Audit exam yesterday and I can't stop thinking it. I told myself that since MC is 70% of the test I should use the 3hrs on that to double check my answers and the other 1 and half hours on the 2 sims. I feel confident about the MC but the writing section wasn't my strong suit. I realized that I cant write an essay on a specific topic with the clock winding down while typing on a keyboard. So I am really nervous! Is it possible to still pass even with botching up the writing parts? Also how long will it be until I can find out my results? Waiting to register for the CPA and then studying and then waiting for the grades is giving me gray hairs lol

offlineMemberI am taking the AUD exam for the 2nd time now using the Becker materials. I got a 70 the first time. I had taken one of Becker's fast pass classes and did all the homework MCQ twice, 2 final exams, and the Becker Final Review. What do you guys recommend I do differently the second time or do the same and just try to get it to stick in my head more? Thanks!

The info above is solid
Add the Gleim Test Bank to your review.
If you use the Study Mode - review all of the MCQ responses - there is a lot of good info there
During the Study Mode you get the solution after each MCQ
During my AUD test it surprised me that between Becker and Gleim everything looked like I had review the MCQ beforePosted 1 year ago #
