I've failed audit with a 57 being my highest score. My last sitting for the test was last October and I got a 57, and this last testing window I got a 57.  I need suggestions on what I need to do. I'm getting frustated that I can't pass.

My Becker materials have expired and I used the Wiley book and I bought the Test Bank questions. I thouhgt I was putting in enough time in studying 2 to 4 hrs just going over questions because at this point I think going over lectures is going to help? Weekends 5 -7 hrs. I would make an attempt to read or review something everyday even if it was an hour.  Where do I go from here?  Do I need to buy some more questions?

let me first start by saying i completely understand where you are coming from. your situation seems like a lot like mine was, putting in the time was not the problem for me as well. give me some more backround info and maybe i can help out.

how are you currently studying? how many exams have you taken? how many exams do you take per quarter?

first thing i would suggest is to concentrate on 1-2 exams at a time. if you take AUD next quarter then move on to another section while waiting on the score. BUT if you did not pass AUD then jump right back into it as the material should still be somewhat fresh in your head. do not continue on to another section until AUD is passed. also, when restudying a section start from square one. review the material again like it is your first time seeing it. i've taken a lot of these exams and trust me, its never the same exam. don't leave any stone unturned or you will surely be restudying again

another suggestion is to try another approach to studying. looks like working on mcq alone is not helping and you may have already memorized all the answers in the test bank. the bigger question is how do you learn best? only you know the answer to that and if you don't...it is going to take a lot of trial and error to figure out. i had this problem as well and it took me forever to figure out. have you tried reading the chpts? taking notes? rewriting notes? audios?

if you're putting in quality time and still coming up short i would switch review materials, not just the test bank questions. nothing wrong with switching, the material just doesn't fit your learning style. everyone is different so we have to use what is best for us. i tried using becker and failed a couple of sections 4 times, i had to change the scenery.

let me know if you have any questions, i'll be glad to help
