Took AUD today. First testlet was easy, double checked my answers, and went to the next one. Testlet #2, got harder...Testlet #3, half were okay because they were similar to Beckers, but the last 10 questions were RIDICULOUS. And during my testlet #2, #21 and #22 were exactly the same questions with the same answer just worded differently..

Anyone has the same experience during Window #2?

I'm taking FAR tomorrow so I can't answer your question. But I'm taking
AUD next, I have no audit experience except a crappy undergrad class I
was required to take as a prereq to my master's program (really crappy - I
swear I was the only one awake in the class, let alone the only one to read
or study).

How did you like Becker? I was thinking about doing the other video
program with the separate book as I heard it was more teaching and less
"highlight this."

I liked Becker for FAR, just don't know if I should stick with it for AUD.

Hope it went well! How was FAR? (by the way, I don't know how you're
still standing with that schedule!)

I like Becker a lot. When I took FAR, I really thought I was just answering Becker's question. AUD was different. Testlet 1, most of the questions I had seen them from Becker or else very similar. Testlet 2, half of them were similar to Becker's and the other half were pretty much apply the materials you learned. Testlet 3....... omg, half of them were applied the materials I learned (maybe one or two questions I have seen from Becker), the last 10 questions were ridiculous. They asked the smallest detail you can ever think of..

I only had 3 IFRS questions, and two of them I was able to just figured it out by eliminated the wrong answers.

Overall, I think pretty good on MCQ because I knew over 80% of the questions despite with only 10 days of preparation. However, sims got me pretty good, they weren't easy..

But overall, I think Becker did an awesome job preparing you for AUD. Two more to go and I already feel like my life is nothing but study.... miserable..

I thought Becker did a great job getting me ready for AUD. Yes, the videos
are super boring, but the book material was spot on.
