I have mixed feelings about how I did. The simulations were surprisingly easy, and I feel confident about most of them.

The MCQs, on the other hand, were tricky. On average, there were 8-10 questions per section that I was unsure of/narrowed it down to two answers.

How did anyone else feel after they took AUD?

If you truly did get all the sims right, then you can perform OK on the MCQ and still pass. Even if you got 8 wrong on all 3 of the testlets, I would assume you still got about 70-75% of the 60 points … I am guessing you scored 75-80. We will see if that is true! Good luck. I am waiting to go take BEC! blah.

1st AUD attempt – thought I passed with flying colors, was expecting high 80s or 90s
2nd AUD attempt – it is mathematically impossible to pass, was certain I failed

As you see from my results, sometimes how you feel means absolutely nothing when it comes to your score.

I felt really iffy leaving my first exam. I felt like I guessed my way through 15% of the MCQs, and two of the SIMs came completely out of left field. I left the second exam thinking, “Oh God, that was even harder.”

I had accurate feelings about BEC and REG but AUD messed with my brain. It wasn't that I thought it was that difficult, but the wording was very tricky. I finished an hour and a half early, and normally I do not go back to prior questions because i have a bad habit of 2nd guessing myself out of right answers. Thinking about the exam later, I worried I left points on the table because of missing wording and not going back to use more time. It messed with me so much that I thought I either got a 95 or a 55, lol. It turned out my score was in line with my other 2 exams.

I'm jealous of your easy sims, mine were murder. Yikes. Guessed on a huge portion of them, and I'm not even sure I got my research question right even though those are usually a gimme. You probably did fine if you crushed the sims and did alright on the mcqs. Don't celebrate yet, but try to sleep easy.

Weekends are meaningless to a CPA candidate

I feel the exact same way kaydun, I wrote AUD this am. I felt my SIMS were easy, but my MCQ were really difficult right from the start of the 2nd testlet. They top 3 answers for MCQ were so similar, unlike practice test questions where the answer is a little more obvious.

I just found out I failed AUD for the second time. First time 69 and second time 73 (ugh). I have been using Roger and Wiley MCQ's. I passed REG on the first try. I'd like to take audit again in April. Definitely considering Ninja notes. Any thoughts?

I took AUD yesterday and I found my sims easy as well. My testlets went from ez > wtf> ez/med >ez sims.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I keep thinking back at how I found it easier than the past. I did study a lot, so over the next 10 days I'll pretend that is it. Is it March 9th yet?

Good Luck on passing!!
