I’m not giving up BUT I am feeling like a failure that I can’t seem to pass this section no matter how hard I try!!! 🙁

72, 74, 72, 71, 65, 65 (I studied my butt off)

To make matter worse, if I don’t pass this time I lose REG which was a monster that took me 4 attempts to beat

3XBEC:75 * 4XREG:82 * 4XFAR:76 * 7XAUD:77

took me 5 tries to pass AUD. stick with it. And maybe see if Jeff he has any tips for how you can study differently & better.

FAR - 1/26/2012 - PASSED (78, but Lost credit), re-do 11/27/2013 - PASSED (87)!
AUD - EPIC FAIL, 71, 69; 68; 5/25/2013 - PASSED (85)!
REG - 10/1/2012 - 72; 7/1/2013 - 73 UGH, 10/1/2013 - PASSED (85)!
BEC - 2/28/2013 - PASSED (82)!
Licensed CPA!

Used Becker self-study materials (just this for FAR original & REG #1), WileyTestBank, NINJA notes/audio, and Roger cram course for AUD #5, REG #3 & FAR reboot. CPA!

The crazy thing is, I used the same method that got me a 16 point increase (and pass) in FAR – but it didn't make a dent in my AUD score 🙁

What are you using to study?

I think at this point you need to spell out your study process and see if we can get a good list of recommendations from forum members on other things you can try.

I was having issues understanding Government and Not for profit,so I ended up getting the hot spot videos from Bisk and it worked out perfectly. They have some videos for Audit as well.

Attempt 1 and 2 = Becker

Attempt 3 and 4 = Wiley textbook

Attempt 5 = personal matters did not allow any study time and took it to not lose exam fees

Attempt 6 = NINJA + WTB and attacked the material like nobody's business (why I don't understand why score is the

same as attempt 5)

I feel your pain. I took AUD 8 times and my last five scores were 72, 71, 74, 74, 84. Don't give up! Keep working hard.

It took me 6 tries to pass BEC! Here is what I did differently the 6th time:

1) Took a practice test the day before, which I scored a 68%, so don't let it get you down if you don't get higher than 75.

2) Did tons of MCQs (before I was taking a lot of notes and reading, but not doing many questions)

3) Listen to classical music on low while you study. I did this for both BEC #6 and FAR #2, so I swear, it helps!
