Got a 60 on AUD, thought I was going to do much better. Any tips for studying? I get Becker from work so I only used that (videos, then MCQs).

Becker is solid, but I’d mix it up. Try focusing more on the MCQs and reading explanations, even for the ones you get right. Also, supplement with AICPA practice tests and take notes on weak areas. Maybe add some flashcards for key concepts.

No not crazy. The longer you wait the more you will have to start over.

Probably should read the book as well on the weak chapters.

AUD is all memorization. 15 questions on my test were straight from Becker MCQs. Down to the order of the answers

AUD is probably the most difficult test. I felt like I got tricked the entire test. Took it 5 times 🤣

MCQs and then study areas you do poorly on. Rinse and repeat.

NINJA CPA review is a good supplement if you need extra help. It was like $60/month when I did it.

Just study & take it again. You might have gotten unlucky with the questions.

You have to remember that the knowledge builds on itself. Whatever you studied last time will still be on the exam

Re read the chapters after each practice question

I got a 39. How cooked am I

It’s possible to score that low?

When I took AUD many years ago, I scored a 79 on my first try. I bought a Wiley Examination book and spent plenty of time reading the modules and test questions.

Study harder

Type up the questions. they’re recycled. there’s a pattern to them.

Focus on Sims explanation, practice tests, MCQ explnations, and the becker flashcards

I took AUD 6 times before I passed! So I passed on my 7th time! The changes I made was, I took social media off my phone, I made and used flash cards based off the questions I got wrong, and I also used I-75 Darius Clarke as a supplement and SuperFastCPA for the mini quizzes, lecture notes, and audio notes! I hope this helps! I only use Becker for the MCQs and simulations

If it was easy, everybody would be a CPA... Good news is all you need to do is score 75 or above. Keep studying.
