    I just took Aud this week and don’t think I passed (maybe if there’s a miracle lol).

    1st testlet – medium

    2nd – hard

    3rd – easy

    sims- difficult

    With that, I prob didn’t pass, so Im debating what to study next for the next window in July. Since I have a good 2 months I was thinking of taking FAR, or should i keep studying AUD for 2 months until July? I have reviewed FAR once before and didn’t pass.

    If I do study for AUD, i planned to take it beginning of July, if FAR then mid to end July. The thing is that I have vacation at the first week of June (not sure if it will affect me)/.

    What would you do think/ what would you do?

    Thanks for any advice!!

    Typically the advice is to stick with one section until you pass so you have better odds of passing on the second go around. However, you'll have to wait a whole month to find out if you passed or not since we have to wait until 5/27. Maybe your time is better served studying for FAR and if you failed AUD you can always take it right after FAR. I just took AUD today and I'm so glad that I took FAR first and really learned the concepts well because I realized while studying there is quite a bit of overlap between FAR and AUD but in AUD the concepts are just glossed over because they're assuming you already know everything. I'm following AUD with BEC because I wanted to squeeze another exam in this window and noticed there is some overlap as well with internal control, IT and financial ratios so hopefully taking FAR and following with AUD will help. Just my opinion but I hope it helps. 🙂

    FAR - (11/01/14) 71 (02/07/15) 79
    AUD - (04/30/15) 86
    BEC - (07/21/15) 73 (10/01/15) 75
    REG - (11/30/15) 55 (05/19/16) 74

    @se7en.14-I bet you did better than you think! I took AUD at the beginning of April and have a sinking feeling that I will be seeing that test again. I feel awful about the SIMS as well. However, since I had to wait so long for my score, I moved on to BEC. I didn't want to waste 4 weeks of study time since my 18 month clock is ticking. If I did fail AUD, I will go right back to that after I sit for BEC.

    I think since you've reviewed each section you'd be okay with moving back to FAR because if you passed AUD, you will have those 4 weeks of FAR already under your belt. That's what I did with FAR. I took it, thought I bombed but moved on to AUD, found out I passed FAR and already had completed 3 weeks of AUD study time. Just my thoughts but good luck!

    FAR-85 (1/28/15)
    AUD-91 (4/3/15)
    BEC-82 (5/21/15)
    REG-90 (7/31/15)

    I am done!!!!
