Congrats on passing audit. I've taken audit four times and scored 55, 69, 74 and 72. I'm preparing to sit for it in 3 weeks. I already have credit for FAR and lost credit for both Reg and Bec. Smh. Back to studying.....

I took Audit 7 times! Audit is like a nightmare to me. To me I feel like AUD is harder than FAR! My REG expired twice just because I kept failing AUD. I still need to retake AUD and I hope this time I will pass, so tired of CPA exams

Aw, I'm so sorry. Yea, gosh Audit was absolutely ridiculous! It's so vague. I got super lucky with both FAR and BEC, passing with a 75 😂 what's funny is Aud is the only exam I failed and I ended up having the highest score on audit than the other 3. Those exams are no joke! Good luck with it, I hope you're done soon!

I was more confident that I passed AUD than FAR when I walked out, but I was so much more relieved at finding out I passed because of how frustrating the content is. I reviewed one weak area, I became weaker in another. Maybe it's because I'm in tax, but REG is such a breath of fresh air it feels like I'm retaining information once I can understand it.

Your story gives me hope. I just received a failing AUD score, kind of badly failing too and after passing FAR with an above average score on my first attempt. I'm not going to let this stop me. I realized when I took FAR that there is some luck involved in this an plenty fail at least on section at least once. I have a form of IBS too, I know the struggle. I agree especially with what you said around 9:00 it feels like when I took AUD they went out of their way to give me SIMS on stuff that I spent less time on.

Congratz on passing AUD! I can't imagine what relief that is for you taking it the fourth time Plus, you're halfway there now. I ended up getting a 65 on AUD on my first rodeo and I'm waiting on FAR before I figure out my study plans in 2019. I felt exactly the same on how you mention that it feels like that you killed that AUD exam when walking out and I knew for sure that was a pass, but whadda know.

I just too AUD and passed it this last quarter too. To your point about the simulations being different on the exam than the study guide, I felt 100% the same way, except I use Wiley. I flew through through the MCQ's and nailed them. I got to the TBS' and I thought, "Dang, did the computer just switch to the LSAT or something?" I bombed them. I didn't even understand what they were even asking. I guess I did well enough on the first part to carry me through the rest of the exam. It sucked. Even FAR was easier, in my opinion. Anyway, congrats on passing and sticking with it!!!!

I stopped doing Sims after my first exam. I think they’re generally good to reinforce the module topic, but the chances of you getting something even close to that is 0.00001%. As long as you understand your topics and concepts, you’ll be surprised how you’ll be able to work most Sims you get on the real exam

@HeavensAudventure 4 жыл бұрын
PS3rocks09 different things work for different people for sure. You'll never get the same Sim on the exam, that's not the point. It's learning how to manage time, and read through what's important, what's not important, hints along the way. I definitely would not have passed audit without doing over a 100 sims for practice beforehand. But everyone is different!

First of all, thank you for your valuable insight as I'm preparing for the audit exam. I've crushed FAR and REG (99 on both actually, humble me patting myself), but Audit is the hardest for me being that like math, am working in tax and I'm much better at calculations than making subjective judgements, but I need to score at least 92 to stand a chance for the Elijah Watt Sells award so I'm trying to give it all I got. One note regarding the AICPA exam scoring though: You are correct that your score is not necessarily a percentage of how many questions you answered correctly. However, according to the AICPA, 100% of candidates can pass in a single quarter if they accumulate enough points. They don't tell us much about the scoring, but I understand that questions and simulations are weighted according to their difficulty.

I took BEC 3 times and the TBS are always different and sometimes easy. The aicpa website also helps because I did a sample test and seen similar/same questions on the exam. They had questions I never seen.

Considering I purposely took FAR last (I did a video explaining why!), then I'd say take whichever exam first that you want to take first. Every person is different!

Hiiiiiii I've applied for Audit Exam 3 times, unfortunately I did not pass, now I'm planning to apply for the 4th time. currently I'm using Becker, any advises or tips to pass this beast exam! I've noticed that I face difficulty in Simulation , specially the research questions. during my practice on Becker, I can easily find the correct answer, but not on the exam day " I can't minimize the result of research questions on the exam". also the audit assertions

I had the same issue with the audit exam. I just studied my brains out as hard as I could until I passed. There is no real secret, just study your weak areas and be comforted by the fact that every exam is different!

Drew J was this your first cpa exam ever? If so, there’s definitely a learning curve there! I failed audit BAD that first time too. Keep your head up and even though REG is changing on you, I feel as if it will be more manageable with all the changes. The new tax reform is easier to understand for most people and that may help you. Don’t give up! But I know exactly what you’re feeling. Especially when it seems as if everyone around you is passing so easily. Lol you’ll get it!

Hi! I know this is a little late but I wanted to ask something. I just took Audit and feel terrible about the TBS. I completely had to guess on most of the TBS. 1. Did you ever pass an exam by guessing on a majority on the TBS? 2. Did any of your exam credits ever expire? P.S. you’re the BEST

1. I feel like I had to guess on many of audit's TBS but I didn't pass those exams. Lol you may get lucky though! 2. No, I actually ended up passing them all 9 months before my first REG credit would have lapsed.
