    I failed my 1st exam(FAR) with 66. I was disappointed, but the truth is I ran out of time and 2 of the subject matter I didn’t grasp a good understanding of shows up in MCQ and SIMS. Nonetheless, instead of sitting around and waiting for the score a whole month, I decided to study for Audit. I got a A in college like 5 years ago, I guess I was kidding myself in thinking it was easy to do in a month, not considering working full time with a child and an online business. I will take it in 2 days but scored 65 on the 1st practice test today. I have approximately 10-15 hours to study before exam day. I am studying with Roger videos and Ninja audio. I have the Ninja notes, Blitz, MCQ, Roger Book, Wiley Test Bank and access to Becker material if needed. I have the resources but I am a hands on person/visual person, so I only rather the videos and occasionally MCQ.

    Is it possible to master the entire material with just Roger Videos and ninja audio ?

    How would you use the 15 hours if you were me ?

    Should I study to retake FAR immediately after sitting for AUD ?

    AUD 72(2x)- 8/2014, Rematch 04/15

    I'm all about craming, 15hrs is a short time frame but my theory is try your best.

    You have a short period of time memorize the Ninja Notes and do as many of the MCQs as possible.

    Reading the details in the questions is important and I find that knowing what they are asking seems to be the hardest part.

    For AUD I had a little more time than you but I

    1) Hand wrote the ninja notes multiple times

    2) Typed the chapter outlines Becker provides in their software.

    3) Did all the multiple choice question in Becker 2 times.

    4) 1 Practice test

    5) a few sims from each of the sections.

    A - Passed
    R - Passed
    B - Passed
    F - Passed

    Thanks for the suggestion, ray33157. Never a fan of really doing notes. My method is usually to understand it in the learning(videos). The issue is I usually forget. So, I guess that's the point of rewriting notes and MCQ to keep it fresh. I guess I will cram, rewrite notes atleast once and do a few MCQ. Thanks again !
