    I recently just took AUD in Jan 2018 and received a 74, yes a 74. I still refresh the NASBA screen to see if it changes to a 75 lol.

    Anyway I wanted to gauge in the A71 community, someones’ approach with beginning to study again and planning on retaking AUD. I am scheduled for a retake in April 2018 and I am currently using Becker and purchased the monthly ninja products. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    without COMMITMENT you will never start, but more importantly without CONSISTENCY you will never finish. EASE is a greater threat to progress, than HARDSHIP.

    Keep moving, keep studying, keep WORKING, see you at work -DW

    i would suggest you start all over again because I am sure you know which parts were more difficult for you when you were studying. The 1st time I took AUD I got a 65 and my worse enemy was the audit procedures by cycle (A4 I believe) and I knew I was not ready. The 2nd time I took it which was about 1.5 years later I reapplied myself and focused heavily on that section because most of the other stuff came easy to me. In doing that I ended up with an 82. So my point is do not shy away from the stuff you already know but put a little extra time on the stuff you had trouble with. Do MCQs until you're sick of it and then do more! That 74 can easily turn into a 90.

    AUD - 82
    BEC - 78
    FAR - 82
    REG - 77
    Never give up, don't ever give up.

    I've been there! DRILL QUESTIONS. I used Roger only for my retake and got a 91. REALLY understand the different kind of reports an auditor can issue and the differences between audits, reviews, and comps. Good luck, you were so close last time, I am sure you will pass the next time!

    Working hard...

    AUD: 74, 91 1/18

    BEC: 78 12/16

    FAR: 65, 73, 66, 83 8/17

    REG: 64, 80 1/18
