Hello,

I sit for my AUD retake next Monday and I feel discouraged because my stats from Gleim and Ninja are terrible. I finished Gleim’s TB with an average of 69% and have 200 questions left on Ninja TB but the average score probably won’t change much. Right now is sitting at 75%. Last time I failed, my stats were slightly better (Becker & Ninja each 76%) and yet I failed miserably(59). I’m scared history will repeat but God knows I’ve tried so hard for the last 5 weeks. I’m starting to believe I’ll be forever stuck in this section…But I don’t want to give up just yet.

I’m planning finishing up those 200 questions by tomorrow and after that dedicate my time to SIMS. The questions now are: which software should I use? I have access to Becker, Becker Final Review, Ninja and Gleim. I feel overwhelmed with so many choices now. So, that’s why I would like to hear your thoughts. If you have been on my situation or similar, please let me know what worked best for you. Which SIMS software did you use? Should I continue MCQs too or not? Please help a desperate soul haha

Honestly, if you can get the AI down, that can help you out a lot. I used Ninja to pass, but didn't spend much time on Sim practice. The ONLY reason that I passed was because I was able to effectively use the AI.

You have an entire week before your test, I'd do a set of 20 mcq, then a simulation, set of 20, simulation. This way you are getting a good review and also practicing the simulations.

As far as which software, I'd use the one you like the most. Use the one that is most similar to the software on the CPA exam so that you can easily navigate it!

AUD - 83
BEC - 78
FAR - 80
REG - 80

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried!

Gleim program is harder than NINJA, if you have studied so much, I would think that you will be ready. Just relax and take the test, after the test, take a break and don't even think about it.

Thanks for the reply guys!
@Ginja I'll try to practice the Sims using the AL. I haven't really spend that much time in the AL but I'll incorporate that in my review.I also like your idea of doing a set of 20 mcqs and then SIMS. I'll do that for sure.

@Vanessachy I think I'll finish Gleim's SIMS since I heard this software is supposed to be the hardest. This is my last exam so is hard to relax. I'm giving it my best try so I guess it is what it is.
