    I am obviously in. Finishing up A2 today. The issue that I'm running into is that I'm getting about 95%-100% on the topics that I've gone through so far in my restudy which makes it difficult to understand where my “weakness” on the exam was. This is a month after taking the exam on 8/15, so I don't think it's really because I memorized Becker. However, I am using the NINJA notes & Audio as a supplement and the Wiley test bank so hopefully that will help me get more feedback on where I have to improve.

    FAR 4/9/12- PASSED
    BEC 7/13/12- PASSED
    AUD 8/16/12- Ughhh 71, Rematch: 90!!!
    REG-12/6/12 PASSED

    I don't know exactly what this is but I'm retaking AUD next testing window and a study group sounds like a good idea.

    Took Audit for the 1st in Oct. and failed with a 69. Used Becker and supplemented with studying Wiley Sims (as they are more challenging than Becker's). There are two topics that I need to study in depth though (Ratios and the Audit Risk model). I am re-studying my notes, going to read Becker's chapters again, doing Becker Sims again, Wiley Sims again and now going to do Wiley's MCQ's (only thing I didn't do 1st time around). It seems that Wiley's MCQ's are more challenging that what is on the actual exam, which I like. Hopefully, we all pass as this test has been killing my motivation. I have 1 part passed (FAR) in over a years time. I will also be re-taking REG in Nov. for the 4th time 🙁

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm planning to take AUD on Oct 25th. I took AUD last August and came short by 3 points;so, I'm going to give it another try. This time I'm studying for it with the Exam Matrix software.

    Under US and International standards: we have to be independence, and we have maintain objectivity, and integrity. Is it correct? Because in the book it says for international standards (Competence and objectivity: Independence is not required). So, which one is correct? can you please also explain whats the major difference between International and US Auditing Standards. Any response will be appreciated. Thank You!!!!!!!

    WOOOO study group!

    I plan on taking my exam October 8. Currently taking Becker Live classes, but I find the video lectures go more in depth. I do like taking the LIVE classes though because its a good way to socialize and make new friends. I passed FAR this past window and I almost ripped my hair out for that one. WE WILL PASS!

    Toosie,

    How are you going to study this time? What worked and did not work? What are you doing different this time?

    Thanks,
