Hello all,
I am 19 days away from my Auditing exam and I think I am sitting well. I have been hitting my study plans exactly as anticipated and have been very dedicated. I read through the CPA Excel book and then switched over to the Wiley AUD module book and took detailed notes over each section. I completed that this morning and then I plan to type the notes I took as a refresher. Writing them once by hand committed them to memory and now typing them will recommit them and clarify any ambiguities I have. I have performed every test mcq and most of the testlet questions from Wiley. I am generally scoring around a 75 average across the entire Wiley test bank but that is just the first swag at the mc questions after reading and taking notes on the sections. Also, it is often done while very tired.
My final push study is to retype the notes between now and 1/1. Then from 1/2 through 1/17 I will just hammer on the MCQ and testlets (my goal is to do every question from Wiley and CPAExcel at least three times). Any question I miss will be recompleted at least five times.
Now for my question: In the back of the Wiley book there are 50 questions which the AICPA released from the 2011 tests. I did that as a simulated test and scored a disappointing 76% on it. Very unhappy but again, that's before I go back through all of my notes. If those 50 questions were an actual exam (I know they aren't but let's just say they are) would a raw score of 76% be enough? I know some questions are worth more than others and some are thrown out as pre-test questions. I'm trying to figure out what a raw score of 76% on the released questions would likely translate to in real score.
Thanks,
