I took AUD in Q3 and received a 73, and I know the sections I completely missed on, so I am hoping I can hone in on those areas as well as supplement concepts through working through FAR to help me topple this section!

I failed with a 72, hoping that supplementing Ninja with Becker will help me get over the hump. Also, for all the other exams I practiced SIMS non-stop 2 days before the exam. For Audit I did not, so this time around, I'm doing SIMs non-stop for 2-3 days before I actually take the exam.

BEC: 75!

FAR: 84!

AUD: 81!

REG: 79!
