I took Audit in November. I received Stronger on my MCQ and Weaker on my Simulations. I am seeking advice on how to study for my retake in 3 weeks. Should I focus on drilling the NINJA sims? Read all the material? Or is this based on the luck of the exam, meaning hopefully my next exam will have easier Sims? HELP PLEASE!!!!

I agree with the advice given above. I really think you can figure any SIM out if you are comfortable researching topics in the AL. Its so important to know WHAT they are asking for and how to quickly find it.

When I was retaking the AUD , I had 20 days , but for my retake I started from scratch , I saw the video once again took the notes ,did all the questions in wiley book and must saw the answer explanation even if I were right which help me to know the reason and way to think that why other answer choices are not correct and why the correct one is correct.
I made the flowchart for all the purchase ,sales ——transactions. and rewrite them every 2 days .
I also used the wiley excel 14 days free trial for the professional responsibilty module they explain this chapter in very detail which helped me lot on exam day.
do familiar with the authoritative literature for SIM, this is a life saver .you may find word by word answer on AL.

Thanks everyone. I did well with the research sims. My problem was the non-research based sims. Those were completely unexpected. Maybe I should have taken Financial first to prepare me for Audit. I guess I just have to go at it again and see what happens.
