Can anyone give me a little insight into the grading process, I just received my Candidate Performance Report for auditing and I received:
Planning - 78
Internal Control - 78
Information - 79
Review - 85
Communications - 79
And my overall grade was a 72, doesn't make sense to me. Seems like I should have passed since all my grades are above a 75.

Hey Chal, you're not alone, I failed with a 70, even though I did OK in certain sections as follows:
Planning - 88
Internal Control - 82
Information - 75
Review - 67
Communications - 84
I guess what I did wrong was not writting enough in the written communications sections in the simulation.
The instructor in my review course said to just write a couple of sentences to get your point accross. But, after reading several posts about Audit, I realize that I should have written extensively in the written communications portion of the report!
I plan to repeat in November '09...

From your score report you cannot calculate your score. Read this link:

Also, just because all your diagnostics are above a 75 doesn't mean that you should pass as found here;

TampaAccountan - based on your score report reviews are low and you should really focus on that plus any other topics in the diagnostics that you were considered comparable or weaker in. I have also written communications in AUD, FAR and REG that were both short and long. There is no way for me to tell which one's were graded but I have passed writing communications writing short and long. I actually did not pass AUD the first time I took it (74) writing a long communication. The second time I passed and wrote short, clear and concise communications.

I've seen people score higher than the avg candidate in every area except written communications and still fail. It's weird.
