    Hi,

    So I used Becker originally and got through the whole system. I passed FAR and REG first try and BEC on the second. However, AUD has given me a whole world of trouble. Using Becker, I scored 63, 69, 73. Steady improvements. I figured NINJA would bump my score. The first time I took AUD after using NINJA I got a 74. No big deal, I’ll get it this next time. Well I just got my score back and got a 67. 7 whole points. Mind you, I studied like I normally do. Over 2,000 MCs, numerous SIMs, Re-read the NINJA books, etc. Basically, I’m at my wit’s end, as my REG score is about to expire. I’m ready to throw in the towel, and if you can’t tell am severely frustrated. NINJA people, what am I doing wrong?? Have I just reached a plateau?

    Thanks,
    Tanner

    AUD can be the most difficult for some CPA candidates because of the subjective-ness of the questions.
    There can be multiple right answers, but only one is the most right.
    Best tip is to use good test taking skills. Eliminate 2 of the answers, and then make your best guess for the remaining 2.
    Another tip is to make sure you see the forest for the trees, you need to understand the audit flow from start to finish, before you can really get into the individual parts.

    I'd suggest you pick a 3rd review provider and start from scratch. I'm only suggesting a new one so perhaps they will relay the information in a slightly different way that clicks with you better.
    It also will make you have to relearn everything, not just skipping over the areas you think you already know.

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble with AUD. I was also on similar situation like yours with three exam passed relatively easily but only to get stuck on Audit. However I passed on 5th time and it was through the help of GLEIM TEST BANK. As Becker said, GLEIM gave me different way of analyzing the question and answer. Also I used CPA tutor to help me because I would have lost two exam credit if I hadn't passed the AUDIT exam. Hopefully next round will be good for you. GOOD LUCK.

    AUD - 76
    BEC - 75
    FAR - 76
    REG - 77
    FINISHED.    "If I can do it, so can you".- ME.
