AUD exam did not go as planned. This time… I’m sure that I failed. I probably studied about 30 hours for AUD. I even knew AUD was my weakest subject, but after passing FAR/BEC I lost my momentum. Studying for the CPA exam is a nightmare. Get it done as quickly as possible. The downside of taking your time is study fatigue and burnout.

I didn’t even practice AUD sims, but I was able to breeze through the first simulation in under 40 minutes.

What I shoulda done the week before my exam:
- Fix sleeping schedule
- Finish reading Gleim book
- Finish all Gleim Software questions

You can do this….and maybe I can, too.
It’s probably too late for me to take Audit before IFRS kicks in. My main focus is on BEC before the upcoming essays.
