Just found out that I didn’t pass AUD after passing FAR and BEC on my first attempt. Any tips for what to work on before taking it again? Don’t work in audit or tax so AUD and REG are a bit more difficult not having the practical experience

If you’re using Becker, focus on A4 sims. Also drills SSARS and SSAE MCQs

I’d say if you got between a 70 and 75, schedule it again in 2-3 weeks and really dive into your problem areas while still keeping the other stuff relevant. Below a 70 I’d say 3 -6 weeks depending on your score and comfort. And obviously how much time you have to study.

You have an upper hand when you’ve sat for the exam once before, you know what to expect.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
