Thanks ebonyeyes.
I saw u got a 99 in AUD....Thats an AWESOMEEEEEEE score.
I m giving AUD on Oct 3rd. Please advise as to your strategy for the exam n what books did u use.

Congrats on clearing with such good marks.

Thank you!! I fell out of my chair when I saw my score.

I used Becker Home Study.  I put in 65 hours of study.  However, I would recommend at least 80 hours, possibly more depending on your previous audit experience and/or how long its been since your last audit class.

My strategy was as follows for each Chapter:

1) Listen to Lecture for 1st section in the chapter
2) Do HW for 1st section
3) Repeat #1 and #2 for each section in the chapter
4) Do all supplemental questions
5) Do simulation
6) Create flashcards for the entire chapter

After all chapters were completed, final review consisted of the following:

1) Skim chapter reading
2) Review flashcards
3) Re-do all HW (read all explanations even if I got the question right)
4) Do at a simulated exam
5) Answer AICPA released questions
6) Do all supplemental simulations
7) Do both final exams

Hope this helps!
