    So I took AUD three times. 64-71-73. The last time I took it I was so confident that I would pass. But the score was just disappointing.

    Any advice on how to go on the fourth attempt? I bought NINJA review and I had a 73 trending score on it. Guess it was accurate.

    AUD: 64, 71, 73, 72, 78
    FAR: 75 (expired), 79
    BEC: 89
    REG: 76

    FINGERS CROSSED

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 64/71
    BEC - 85

    Do you have Becker? From my test experience, Becker did a solid job with the MCQ as compared to the actual exam. I probably didn't deserve to pass, but I have only Becker to thank for that. As for the SIMS, it is hard to really prepare for them besides knowing the material, and also being confident with the research question.

    donnychristal, i feel your pain. AUD was kept me from passing all 4 exams (i took it 5 times!). the approach i took on the last exam:
    1. solved all ninja questions and SIM until i trended 100%
    2. read the explanation at the bottom of each question (word for word) as i was solving problem
    3. read relevant codes (PCAOB, AU-C etc) for further understanding
    3. read the chapters (of 2013 wiley book) on topics i had issues with twice, cover to cover.

    hope this helps. also, feel free to read what others have given me advice on (see link below). don't give up! you can and you will pass this!

    I've failed AUD 5 or 6 times. I wish I was back at that 3 fail mark, but that's besides the point. The true thing is determination of passing. I've gotten as close as a 74 and that one stung a little bit. AUD is my last one I need and I only have 2 more attempts left before I lose credit on FAR. So don't give up!! I use Roger and NINJA MCQ and bought NINJA NOTES the last time I took AUD. I usually get between a 69-71. This time around I'm switching it up and I'm going to use Becker to see if it can get me over the hump.
