My dilemma is which section I should do next. So far I passed REG and last Thursday I took BEC for the second time and felt pretty good about it. Hopefully (knock on wood) its a good sign. I have 3 weeks till score release so I’m planning to retake audit or start on FAR. Both times in my audit attempts (scored a 74, and a 67) I did really well on the mcqs but the sims have always killed me. I noticed that some of the sims topics I got on the exam were FAR related, so Im debating on if I should start on FAR to help me with audit. My REG will expire on October 15 so Im in a little time crunch. I know FAR will require a lot of time to go over so I dont know if I should start with the material now. I guess my thinking is that at least I already have gone over audit on two separate occasions, so it should be a little easier to go through the 3rd time around.

So I guess my question is should I go for the audit retake and aim for a May 27 test leaving 4 months for FAR, or should I start on FAR now and study for the next four months, and tackle AUD for the last two months before I lose REG. I guess the reason for the latter choice is to leave more time for FAR in case of a repeat. Please let me know what you guys think. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

AUD: 74, 67, 76!
BEC: 70, 75!
FAR: 76!
REG: 67, 73, 79!

Take AUD (before FAR) while it's still fresh.

What materials did you use for AUD?

I used Roger review and supplemented it with wiley book and testbank. This attempt also going to use ninja flashcards and do all WTB sims. I only did wiley book sims last time. Any suggestions of possible FAR lectures in roger I should go over if I take aud again? (Ie adj journals entries) I don't want to take AUD and get another FAR sim. Then again that FAR sim could have been a pre test question

I had Becker & 10-Pt Combo NINJA on my 1st attempt with AUD.

On my 2nd attempt with AUD, I used Becker & NINJA again, only I had to study the updated part because of the changes last year. I studied new materials as if I've never seen AUD, and also I added it with Becker's Final Review. I went back to the testing center feeling adequately prepared. I thought I understood most of the questions well, but the problem was the choices given were extremely tricky. I felt good about my SIM but not so much with the MCQs. I felt I had to make so many educated guesses.

I barely passed. If I have to guess, part of the challenges I faced against AUD is that, English is merely my second language.

If I were you, I would review all the materials you've used in the past, including all your previous notes. Jeff's AUD combo would probably be a good investment for your 3rd attempt. Practice more SIMs too.

Do you already have this illustrative JEs?

FAR can be helpful with AUD, but since you've already studied and taken AUD twice, I'd say go for AUD. Re-take while it's still fresh in your mind instead of jumping around. You should have an idea of your weak areas since you've taken it twice. Knock it out this window so you have considerable time for FAR. Just my two cents.

Do you highly suggest memorizing all of those journal entries from the link you provided, cause that's a lot! I guess we have to do that anyway for FAR so might as well start now if you think it would really help
