For those who didn't fare as well on AUD -- I used only the Wiley CD's. I had used them for FAR as a supplement to the MCQs and Becker. But those are ALL I used for AUD. It's been many years since I graduated from undergrad school, and I didn't do well in the one audit class I did have. The lady who narrates the Wiley AUD CDs is an audit professor at the University of Illinois, I believe. At any rate, it is far superior to the other Wiley CD sections in that she tells you everything you need to know -- and no more. And she hammers it in with tips and cautions and common exam questions and things to avoid. I listened to those over and over...that's all I did. A few days before I sat for the exam, I did the Becker mcqs at the end of each chapter. That's it. Becker's book is WAY too much and WAY too confusing for the AUD section. No one could possibly memorize all that information. I knew I couldn't...it's all dry code and confusing flow charts. Keep it simple, that's my advice.

Do you have a link to the Wiley CDs for AUD?

+2.........studying for FAR helped me out a great deal when it came to audit especially since it is theory based AND I not an auditor.  Good luck and DO NOT GIVE UP!!

Thank you so much for the encouragement.I just dont know where to get the motivation to hit the books again.Also, dont know if i should do bec and reg first, considering I had cleard them first try last time around.Maybe that would help me pschologically and then do far and save Aud for the last.Or should I start with FAR.I am so disheartened, dont know if I will be able to clear anything.
