Noticed you got a 81 in FAR. What study materials did you use? Also with AUD what did you use?

I'm really nervous about Audit. I feel I'm the weakest in this area so I'm hoping someone can help me with the study timeframe, or any study pointers. I'll be taking the exam for the second time around, so I want to make sure I'm doing it right from the scratch this time around. Is 1.5 months enough?

I think that is more than enough, depending on your study hours. My suggestion (after sitting 3 times) is memorize the terms, make sure you can identify say the different between tests of control and tests of detail. This way when presented with a test question, no matter how back-a$$-wards it is, you will be able to identify what they are looking for. Also the reports, be able to idenitfy the different aspects of reports and what qualifies for a certain opinion. My advice, and people might disagree, but memorize, memorize, memorize :D I didnt do this on my first 2 sections and it really hurt me I think. I walked out of Audit feeling somewhat ok this time!!!
Read somewhere I think in Wiley how many different times can they really change/alter an audit question, there are hardly any numbers besides say the ratios. Wiley personally really helped me with Audit. If you are rusty on the concepts, people say Becker or Yaeger are good. When do you sit?
