    I am taking Audit for the first time on October 2nd.
    I got a 66 on Mock Exam 1 and 61 on Mock Exam 2 for Becker.
    How do my scores stack up against what I’d get on the real exam?
    Currently doing Ninja MCQ and listening to Ninja Audio to help me during my review.
    Can anyone provide any insight on their Audit Exam from Q3 or 2018.
    What can I do while reviewing the Mock Exams to help me prepare for my exam that’s in 4 days

    Thanks in advance!!

    It's hard to say because it's never an 100% direct match for how mock exams compare to Becker.

    My biggest suggestion would be to compare and see what sections you are weak at on the mock exams. For me, I took down all of the percentages for each section (A1-A6) and saw what I really struggled at. I saw that I was terrible at A4 Material, while being really strong at A2 and A6. So, leading up to the exam, I spent more time on A4 while making sure I am maintaining my knowledge in my stronger areas.
    A few ways to help expand your knowledge of your weaker materials:
    – Reread everything (not necessary, but helps me)
    – If you marked questions while going through the MCQ after each chapter, go through and do the marked ones. Take notes on what you are still missing, review, and repeat.
    – My personal favorite is doing the sims purely for the section I am weakest (So A4 in this case) and really making sure I understand what is going on. A4 has 3 sims with a lot of different problems to help me grasp the material.

    With 4 days left (mine is in 5 days, scary stuff!!) I am just making sure to do at least 100 MCQ/day and at least an hour of sim practice a day to make sure I am prepared for a variety of questions and won't get “tired” once it comes exam day. I still write down the things I miss and review them. At this point in review, It's just to keep hitting your weak stuff and being sure to at least skim over the stuff you are good at. Be sure to keep listening to the NINJA audio when you can. And according to what they say about Ninja, if you can get I believe an 85% trending score on your MCQ, you will be looking pretty good for the exam. Just keep practicing and working at it. Best of luck!!

    EDIT: Oh and be sure to go to the AICPA website and do a practice run (just a few MCQ and a few sims). As well as view the 2018 AICPA released questions (both moderate and hard) that you can find on either Becker or Ninja.

    @James has good points. Identify areas you struggling on and make sure you find a way to understand them.
    To answer your question, I got 74, 80 and 81 on the mock exams and as you can see I got 71 on the actual (this was in Q3). Personally experienced the Becker bump on FAR, as I got 74 and two 77s on those mock exams so its pretty impossible to gurentee what you get on the mock exams is close to what you will get on the actual.

    AUD - 71 (Q3 2018), 85 (Q4, 2018)

    BEC - 88 (Q4, 2018)

    FAR - 86 (Q3 2018)

    REG - 85 (Q1 2019)

    You can't fully rely on the Mock Exams to determine your actual score. For BEC I got a 65 and a 67 on the Mock exams, but I passed BEC with some room to spare. I would advise you to keep on working on the Ninja MCQs, read the Ninja notes/listening to the audio, and try to focus on your trouble areas. That's pretty much to process I went through when I took Audit in Q2.

    AUD - 86 6/8/18
    BEC - 86 12/6/17
    FAR - 89 10/6/17
    REG - 85 3/9/18

    Cool
    Calm
    Kill it
