[Give me that Becky]

I’m going to be taking AUD in a few days. I I haven’t spent any time trying to memorize the ratios listed in the appendix of Becker (there are about 30 or more ratios). How important is it that I memorize these ratios? I don’t want to waste time memorizing 30+ ratios if it isn’t even tested. Any advice would be great!! Thanks!

I'd learn the basic one's. I think the two most important one's I've seen, not on the exam, but on practice tests are:

Inv. turnover, and A/R turnover

On the exam the SIMS give you the ratios. You need to know how to apply them.

I didn't bother learning the ratios. The only place I had to use them they were given. I just had to know what goes into “current assets” and such. Knowing A/R or Inv Turn might not be a bad idea, but I wouldn't spend a lot of time or effort memorizing them.

I took AUD in November and decided it wasn't worth it to study all the ratios. I had two entire tabs on my simulation completely devoted to ratios. Needless to say I bombed that sim and received a 74 on the exam. I would suggest not making the same mistake. Good Luck!

learn them b/c you will need to know them for the other exams; do not waste time killing yourself but just make an effort to get in the habit of looking at them for little bit several times and after a while they come easy to you; learn the similarities to ease the learning curve
