Got a dreaded 74 in AUD. I don’t even know how to restudy. Any tips? I think I’m going to retake it next week.

I failed with a 71 and retook it after a few weeks and got that annoying 74! What i did this time (i was using becker before and was kind of hard for me to see my weak areas) was that I got Gleim’s finish line course and did all mcq’s and simulations (which tbh were so similar to what I got in my audit test) that I finished even with extra time. Also, do not be discouraged if you feel like the finish line course is hard and you get most of them wrong. The key is to read and understand what you got wrong and why, and learn from it. I hope this helps! You can do it!

Thank you! This is encouraging. I’ll definitely check out gleim. I’ll get there and become a CPA eventually

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
