    Hi all of my Auditing class of 2013 Ninjas!

    Is there a study group topic for Jan/Feb 2013 yet?

    If not, can we start one?

    I have scheduled my exam for 1/11. This is my second try (73 in Aug. 2012). Tonight I am going to take a mini practice exam to see what I remember and get and idea of my weak spots. And tomorrow I begin re-watching Yaeger vidoes. The entire timeline is to work book questions as I go through each module. Wrapping up the last video by Dec 14. And will do nothing but review, review, review until 1/10. Oh, and take my holiday vacation at the end of December, yikes!

    What review material are you using? When is your exam? What topics have you covered? Any tips yet?

    I'm glad you started this topic! Because I was definitely hoping one would be posted soon haha.

    After FAILING AUD twice, I have scheduled the exam for 1/17. I took it this last time on 10/25 and obviously did worse on it … Even though I was scoring in the 80s/90s range on all of the Becker Homework, Progress Tests, Final Exams, and a 76 on the Gleim Practice Exam… FML. haha

    This time around, I bought the Ninja Notes, will review Becker again I guess, and will also be using Wiley this time around…. I pray that that is good enough. Failing Audit twice kinda starts getting to me when I really sit and think about it, haha!

    Hopefully I can pass this batch and be done forever!!

    Good Luck to everyone.

    So close yet so far away..

    Assuming I pass FAR next week I am totally in for the Jan/Feb study group! Hoping Roger CPA can help me pass both FAR and Audit by 1/30 or I am losing a section and have a baby on the way. Oooo stress! haha Good luck!

    I have auditing on 1/26. This one is worrying me because I usually do better on the math concepts than the conceptual problems. No math to help my score on this one.

    Oh, Tinkler87 that second fail must really burn, I'm sorry. I can completely understand why it would start getting to you when you think about it. Let's not think about our fails, ok? You're almost DONE!!!! You got this.

    I'll be using the Wiley test bank (2011) and Ninja Notes/Audio, too. I hope by January I will be able to recite the Ninja Audio along with Jeff, lol.

    @rmm91909 I hope you get great news on FAR! I am waiting for my FAR score too. I think I failed so I am planning to retake at the end of February. I just didn't want to lose two weeks of study time waiting for my score. I have a very unhealthy fear of losing credit after I finally pass an exam. Congrats on the baby, when are you due? I have a little one too 🙂

    @AmberDawn don't worry about AUD. There are some ratios that will help you if you are good with numbers 🙂 I think it will be really helpful if we share any of the acronyms or mnemonics we use as we work through the material. That way the conceptual problems will be a no brainer.

    I took a little mini exam last night to see what I recall from August, I am very pleased. But, I'm still going to work through the plan like it's my first time. Today I begin with Professional Responsibilities. I've got a date with Gary Bulmash and a Red Bull!

    For anyone that uses Yaeger, I think Gary goes through the material a little slow. I use the VLC player to adjust the playback speed to 1.3 and I get through the videos in a time that works better for me. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

    The fun begins this weekend —

    I work full-time –

    I plan to study 2 hours per day on the weekdays and 4 to 5 hours on the weekends.

    I just scheduled AUD instead of FAR for JAN 19, 2013…

    I'm not sure if this is the right move but – I'm going for it…

    This will be my first exam – I'm really nervous and dont know what to expect

    AUD--52,68,83, expired. Retake = 74 RETAKE - 7.24.26
    FAR--73,70,68,75
    BEC-- 79

    @ Jade good luck on your REG score!

    @23k Welcome to your first study experience! I work full time too and our study hours sound similar. I get 2 hours in on weeknights and 7-8 hours on weekends. I'm a slow MCQ taker though. I spend A LOT of time studying the answers to questions and making note cards. I've just started studying.

    I didn't start with Ninja Notes. But after my first exam (BEC) I wanted some extra guidance and information from an additional source other than the Wiley book and questions. It seemed to me like the Wiley questions were a little too easy for me because a lot of the wording matched the text verbatim. I needed additional text -from a different point of view- to fully comprehend the concepts instead of just remembering the Wiley way.

    I think it's worth it. I like the Ninja flash cards too. It's basically the notes in quiz form, and I find them very helpful when reviewing on my phone through out the day.

    On my last exam (FAR) I signed up for cpareviewforfree, and I really like it. REALLY. I'm going to pay the $10 to get additional SIMS too.

    As long as I passed BEC…here I am with Audit again. Good to see I'm in good company. I'm starting back over with chapter one of Becker today. Although, I like your idea of starting with a practice test. That's a great place to start.

    I'm getting the Ninja flashcards, too. I really need something portable. This laptop is beginning to feel like a ball and chain.
