    woot! I'm sitting April 7th. I scheduled my tests without regard for the wait that would happen because of the wave based release. So I'll have to wait like 30 days to get the score on this one. Currently waiting on a FAR score. How do I study if I don't even know if I'm doing it right?

    I really got back into study mode this week after taking FAR. I am planning on taking the exam in May but haven't scheduled yet. After getting my first passing score I am actually excited to study again. I have 2 years of experience as a governmental and NFP auditor, so I hope this helps me out with the exam.

    REG - 64, 72, 81!
    FAR - 77
    AUD - 79
    BEC - 72, 79! And Done!

    @Jimmy520

    definitely noticed it. The homework for A1 has been really intuitive and easy, I've thought. Here's hoping the whole thing is manageable and fun!

    I'm trying Jeff's strategy of watching all of the lectures first and then diving into the MCQ's. Thinking of taking Audit April 13th and Reg end of May. I have no knowledge of Reg and have previously failed Audit in August 2012.

    Do you guys think that is too daring of me?

    I passed BEC February 2nd so my 18 month window has started and I am hoping to take both Reg & Audit this test window and then maybe having to take Reg again (hopefully passing Audit?ahhh)

    Anyway if you guys have any advise I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi All,

    I took audit back in Jan 16 and failed with a 67. I think I took the exam too lightly and didn't really try to understand why I got the question wrong while working on the Becker problems. With a full load of 5 grad school classes and a part time job there is no way I can give my all til after April. I plan to re-take audit end of May before they change to exam. I am using Becker and Ninja notes.

    Any tips of how I can assure a passing score this time?

    Back at studying again but this time I'm on Audit and it's Audit I'm passing! I definately noticed some the same questions over and over again. They love going concern, scope limitations and the difference between audit, reviews and compilations. So far, so good. Not yet scheduled the exam….cash is the issue now but hope to get in by April 30th. Thanks for the motivation everyone…now back to my mc qs!!

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm scheduled to take Audit on April 1st. I just took REG on the 27th and should find out how that went next Friday 🙂 I already took the Becker Course for Audit… so going through it the next 4 weeks will be “Review/Refresher”

    @Mags603- I personally don't think its too daring, it just depends on your schedule. Do you work full-time and have a family? If you can put it the time, I think you are giving yourself enough time.

    @MerMer03- whheeww, you have a full plate… power to you!! REG was my first exam so I'm not sure if I am truly a good person to give you advice, I say just go through it all again and if you get something wrong, understand why.

    Shanta, I am planning to take AUD on April 1st, and I took Becker Course for AUD too, but it was in November last year. I work full-time, do you think I can go through my second review in four weeks? How do you do your “Review/Refresher”?

    @YesICan2013 … I too took the course back in November… back when I took the course, I studied as if I was taking the exam the way Becker had it planned , which would have been two weeks after the last class (Sadly for me, I didn't have my 150 hours until after I completed the REG course).

    I'm starting tonight, pretty much doing the same layout they had for the class. Review the lecture, do homework, then review. I printed out a calendar and made my schedule… the key is just sticking to it 🙂 I felt like I retained a lot from the course. Sticking to my schedule, I will still have two solid weeks of review!

    I also ordered the flash cards, which for Audit, I find is very helpful because there is a lot you just simply have to memorize.

    Have you made a schedule yet?

    Shanta, I've already scheduled the test on April 1st. I am planning to study in the same way: Review the lecture, do homework, then review. I am starting right now, I do hope I can finish three chapters A1-A3 in the first week 03/02-03/10. I have flash cards, it is very helpful!
