Use a supplement if you’re using Becker, I’d recommend watching i75 vids on YouTube

I am thinking between i75 and Ninja. Not sure which one to use

Keep doing more multiple choice questions. You most likely memorized the questions in your current study material without actually learning it so you may need to use a different review course. That happened to Ms with Becker and I used Ninja for the extra questions. Failed Audit 3 times before finally passing. The key is to just keep taking it.

You got it! You'll be a CPA before you know it.

What has been your study strategy so far? With the study program you are using can you create daily mcq quizzes based on the information you learned during the prior day study session? If you are not, I would recommend doing that to keep the materials as fresh in mind as possible.

You and I both FAIII 🥲🥲🥲

I finally just passed AUD on my 3rd try. I used both Becker and Ninja. I’ve failed FAR and BEC/BAR more times than I can count 😭 but I switched to i75 for FAR and BAR and have been feeling so much more confident and hopeful lol. Overall I would say Becker definitely wasn’t effective for me bc I think I just had the answers memorized. Ninja is ehhh. I didn’t use i75 for AUD but would definitely recommend given my experience using it for FAR and BAR. Good Luck you got this!!

This is helpful. I am debating between Ninja and i75 but after reading this, may go with i75 😆

What has your study strategy been?

How many weeks/months did you study?

In other spaces, people have recommended i75 for any section others are struggling with.

To me audit was a lot of word association. There’s a lot of questions that you have to find the key words that go with the key words in right answer. Really study the MC questions looking for the word associations.
