Took my first exam ever and scored a 70 on AUD. Feeling a little discouraged but my peers are saying it’s not a bad score for my first attempt at any of the sections. I feel like a 70 is still pretty far off, anyone able to provide any insight?

70 is close asf that means you knew the info and messed up a few questions keep going! AUD is super subjective and annoying

You aren’t far off. If you finished your study materials, just do practice MCs and Sims for 2 weeks that should get you over the hump to a 75+. These exams are hard, don’t beat yourself up for coming a little short.

I had to take AUD way more than I would like to admit before passing. Was 1000% the hardest for me. Scoring anywhere from 63-73 until the score that got me the passing credit. 70 is so close! Take two weeks to score review and take the mess again. You got it!!

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
