    I got A 73 on AUD…my first exam. :(I am taking FAR end of this month, but to be honest I have almost no chance of passing. So what should be my game plan?
    For those of you that have failed, how much time did you restudy for the exam? Does it seem reasanable for a 6 week AUD restudy and an 8 week FAR restudy?

    I failed AUD last Aug (70) and retook it in OCT (80) all i did was to redo all the questions. Make sure you understand the audit opinions. Pay close, very close attention to should, may, must. Just don't redo the questions, ensure you understand the concepts. Ninja notes are great for AUD. I used the ninja notes and Wiley testbank

    very doable, my restudies have always been 3 weeks, but the more the merrier, just make sure you do progress test of all chapters in your final 2 weeks so you dont forget

    Thank you! I should add that I am using Becker.

    Becker is good too. I passed REG using Becker then I used Wiley. Switched to save money. Make sure you pay attention to the SEC stuff for REG that was big on my test – I think it was chapter 5-6. You can pass it trust me. I got 72 first try then I went back and got 78.

    Best of luck

    For me I can't stress enough just doing multiple choice and reading material i was weak on,using my missed mc questions to gain a deeper knowledge the next time i went over the material.

    I failed AUD back in December with a 68. When I was studying for my retake, I just hammered out MCQs for 6 weeks. And every weekend I would do progress tests to restudy everything I had learned to that point to keep all the material fresh. That took my score up 10 points! I know what it is like to fail a few exams so keep your chin up!
