KatieParticipantDoes anyone know if the new website for score release only works during score release time periods? When I go to https://myscores.nasba.org/ it always says the site cannot be reached.

KatieParticipantWhy am I just now realizing there're major changes to ERM? 🙁 🙁
I guess I know what I'm doing tonight…

KatieParticipantI would definitely take REG next. It's much harder than BEC, and by the time your fourth exam rolls around, you'll probably start to feel the burnout. If I had taken REG as my last exam, I probably would not have passed. I study 15-20 hours a week and did REG in 8 weeks and am doing BEC in 6 weeks. You could probably manage the same.

KatieParticipantNo real advice here, I'm just also taking BEC in 3 days. It's my last exam, and I'm so burnt out that I can't tell if I'm prepared or not. Only suggestion I have is do the AICPA practice exam and redo all the non-WC SIMS!

KatieParticipantFor AUD, I'd say 10 days if you're studying around 3 hours a day. I gave myself 14 days and it was way too long. I was ready to take the exam way before test day.

KatieParticipantI agree with @Tim completely. I took AUD in March, and the SIMS were extremely subjective and I found it hard to decipher what some of them were even asking. However, in the two weeks before my exam I did go through EVERY single Becker SIM again as well as the AICPA practice exam. Something I did worked so I would definitely recommend doing that.

KatieParticipantIf you're just starting, it's confusing. My advice is to just stick it out and it will become clear in later modules. Becker tends to mention information before fully explaining it which is confusing.
P.S. I don't think AUD warrants 2 months of studying. I did it in 6 weeks (working FT) and feel like any longer would be a waste. I'd take it mid-May and move onto the next so you can maybe fit 2 exams in Q3.

KatieParticipant@Dean I would go over all the non-WC SIMS if you have time. I find this to be a great review tool because they really summarize all the information in the chapters. For the WC, I personally plan to pull out the topics of the practice SIMS on a word doc and list some “buzz words” from the solutions and use that to study.

KatieParticipantYes – I felt the exact same way going into my 2 week review for REG and got less than a 75 on both my mock exams using Becker. But I took my review very seriously and cemented all the knowledge I could. I find it really helpful to go through ALL the SIMS again (1 chapter a day) because it really summarizes the info and brings it all together. REG was by far the most challenging exam for me, but just put in the work in the coming weeks and you'll be fine.

KatieParticipantI took the exam on 3/5 and had no idea what to think when I was done – after 3 exam I'm numb to it I think. The second testlet was tough, and I felt like I guess on like 20 questions between testlet 1 and 2. SIMS were okay but I always get one or two where I have a hard time even understanding what the questions are asking. Came out on top though so definitely don't count yourself out until you see your score!

I personally get so tired of hearing “I know you'll pass” and “You'll do just fine” because I know those people probably don't really understand what exactly I'm going through. I would say the most important thing is to listen and not get tired of listening. Just being able to complain freely does my mind a world of good.

KatieParticipant@Tim couldn't agree with you more. That “if you get higher than a 75 then you wasted your time” saying irritates me more than anything. I studied my butt off for REG and only got an 80. If I had studied to get a 75, I would've failed.
