    Hello,

    I passed FAR in November and REG in February and am in the process of studying for AUD. I am using Becker materials. I am having a lot of trouble with AUD. FAR and REG came a little easier to me because there were mostly numbers and I was fine with the numbers. It started to go south for me when I got to BLAW of the REG test because there were no numbers. For AUD I read each subsection then do the multiple choice. When I read the section I feel that it is all common sense. Then I got and do the multiple choice and get like 50 and 60 on them. I feel like there is a lot of information that they ask on the multiple choice questions that are not in the reading materials. Can anyone please give me pointers on how to study for the AUD so this does not keep happening to me? Thank you so much in advance and good luck to everyone in study and passing and congrats to all who have passed so far!

    BEC - 79
    AUD - 67,74,90
    REG - 77
    FAR - 87

    DONE!!!!

    I'm right there with you. I've done every single problem in the Wiley book. Each time I get finished with a section of problems I'm like “prob made AT LEAST a 90 on that shiz” then I end up in the 65 range. Dang it! I just finished my review course (Yaeger) and am starting the CRAM today. I also bough Ninja audio (started that at 3:30 this morning when I couldn't sleep). I plan on finishing CRAM by Sunday and then I'll do the WTB. After all of that, I'm just taking the thing and calling it a day.

    FAR - 87 2/18/14
    AUD - 84 4/2/14
    REG - 87 7/23/14
    BEC - 78 8/26/14

    I'm finally an *official* CPA - TX

    The biggest problem with AUD is the tricky wording and the double negatives. Make sure you read the entire question and use process of elimination to make sure the answers you aren't choosing are definitely incorrect answers. Other than that my suggestion is to listen to the Ninja Audio as much as possible and take as many MCQ as possible. There were several questions that I could recall directly from listening to the Ninja Audio. Good luck!

    I'm having the same problem. Are you using the Wiley book? Mine says to read the standards. So that's probably why it's asking you about stuff you haven't seen.

    I'm using Becker Lectures and supplementing with Ninja and Wiley materials.

    One thing that I know they don't do is going over investing AJE's… how's Yeager on that topic?

    Thanks
