AUD is a very different and difficult beast. It's the only test that I failed and failed twice also. Jeff himself says the test is very different from the others due to its subjectiveness.
You really have to hammer the concept. Don't do multiple choice questions just to do it. Audit is also the easiest in terms of going through the MC questions because it feels like you can do 20 mc in 5minutes but you have to understand it conceptually.
Make sure to nail down all the different type of engagements, make sure you understand internal controls and why they are key controls that allows for separation of duties. Why these controls help protect and entity from fraud, misappropriation etc, and learn those assertions and how each test satisfies management's assertions!!! You got this man, I believe in you!
seanParticipantPassed BEC on the day before my REG expired. LETS GO DONE!!!!!
seanParticipantseanParticipant72-71- 77!!! But, again I'm not sure why this test is so hard… I felt like I did really well, enough to get an 80-85, so it's not the most gratifying feeling passing a test. I'm also an auditor and this is the only test I had to retake so far. Happy but AUD is friken hard!!!
seanParticipantCertainly possible, but really understand the concepts. AUD is a different beast from the other test, that it's not black and white. You can interpret things that might make you think it's the correct answer but its prob not. Really really understand the concepts when you study and study hard!
seanParticipantFirst time taking FAR, got an 83! Thought I did extremely well on M.C and then bombed sims, especially final testlet. Pretty much guess on 2 of the 3 sims on last sims.
How I passed. Few videos from fastforwardacademy (I purchased) that I didnt understand from Ninja Cpa books. Tried to do all the ninja questions once by selecting one topic at a time. Redid the ones I struggled after learning the material. So did about 2000 mc questions and 0 sims. Hope this helps for others. Learn the concept and then do mc questions!
seanParticipantseanParticipantI left 2 sims nearly completely blank and somehow passed with an 80. My first 2 sims testlet had 4 DRS question and then I get to my last testlet and behold there's still 1 more DRS question with only 25 minutes remaining. REG sims are a completely different beast based on what everyone says around here and I would agree with that sentiment+
