Yup, I messed up again. Feels awful to fall short only 3 points. Now I will have to take AUD under the new CBT-e and prepare for increased emphasis on Auditor Independence and Ethics.
Below is my scorecard from my retake:

- Red = AUD Scores from my 1st attempt in August 2010
Black = AUD Scores from my 2nd attempt
Apparently, I got worse at Internal Controls and didn’t put enough study time on Information/Evidence topics.
The first time I took AUD, my sims were easy. Sim #1 was mostly spreadsheet calculations and Sim #2 was time consuming because of the wordy directions, but still easy spreadsheet stuff.
For my retake, the simulations were rough. My sims were mostly matching and identification. I knew I was in trouble because for one of my identification tabs, I used the same answer choice 5 out of 6 times…
Hopefully using Roger CPA Review for my AUD retake will get me the points I need!
Must pass AUD!!!

Your AUD scores are SO similar to mine! 56 for the 1st try and 71 for the 2nd. IT’s odd because my broken down scores look better than yours, but it’s overall lower. But I got weaker in MCQ and comparable in SIMS, so that probably explains it.
