    Devastated.

    That is how I feel after getting my AUD score of 67 on Monday.

    What compounds the disappointment of failure is that the whole time I was studying for AUD I felt I was grasping the material better than any prior exam. My scores on my practice MCQs and Sims were in the 80’s & 90’s.I created a schedule for myself, put in 164 hours of study, and completed 3,225 MCQs and 134 sims. On test day I felt like I killed it.

    Regardless of what I felt, I now know I had some holes in my conceptual understanding of AUD, and if I am going to pass I need to make some corrections and adjustments to my studying.

    After failing a test, what worked for you on the re-take? What tweaks did you make in order to pass the 2nd or 3rd time around?

    REG - 78
    BEC - 79
    FAR - 71, 78
    AUD - 67, 85

    UConn – I know exactly how you feel. My first BEC score was 70. I was so mad. To be honest, I didn't change a thing. I just re-did all the multiple choice in my Roger CPA review book and then did the Wiley Test Bank until I wanted to punch something. It's just repetition that helped me to do problems faster and I guess that's how I passed this time around.

    But honestly, some tests are harder than others. My first BEC test I walked out of there asking WTF? I didn't remember seeing a lot of the material in my study material. This time around I barely got any that were way out of the blue like before. Just keep practicing, do a lot of multiple choice and memorize those key terms.
