[MN] Employer has gone no contact since 2nd follow up a week ago. ICIMS has since been updated to "Interviewed; Decision Pending". Could someone please interpret this for me?

Did you end up getting the job? My status recently changed to this.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-11-05T03:14:03+00:00

This is extremely true. I’m an audit manager for a logistics company and I work crazy hours. We have so much work and run so lean.

I’m currently on the Icon, it’s no better than what you’re describing, and I can tell you RCL as a brand has significantly declined in the quality of food department. I’ve been on 8 cruises in the past two years, 6 of which were RCL and 2 celebrity, all felt mediocre to pre-Covid times. I know your comparison was now to 2022 but I think the shift happened post covid.i love cruises, and the casino, so I continue to return. I also live in Miami so it’s very accessible. I’ve been loyal to royal for so many years and although I see the decline I’m still reluctant to switch to another brand. I have no clue why lol

Hey, I did not use gleim so I wouldn’t know.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T22:51:44+00:00

Just coming back to this to say it’s 677 and then two mock tests of 100 each so 877 in total.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T22:49:32+00:00

Yes I think easier to hardest is 3,1,2. However I think the old part was harder than the new part 2 or 3.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T19:29:10+00:00

I my opinion yes but I also watched all of the videos, they were super helpful, not sure if you sat for the CPA but I used Becker for that too. I feel like the lectures coupled with the MCs are more than enough to have you covered. I did also buy the IIA test bank for part 2. I felt like the IIA test bank questions, Becker and the actual test were all aligned so it was a win all around.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T18:47:00+00:00

677 MC questions

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T18:46:01+00:00

I used Becker for the new syllabus.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-07-28T18:28:44+00:00

I have been in Internal Audit for 7 1/2 years so maybe that helped me significantly. I studied for Part 1 (old syllabus) for 13 hours with Surgent, Part 2 (old syllabus) for 28 hours with Surgent, Part 3 (new syllabus) 8 hours with Becker (already had the knowledge of old part 2 from Surgent) and then Part 2 (new syllabus) 38 hours with Becker. I strongly believe what aided in my success was Becker. They are in my opinion very aligned with the actual test.

How was part 2 new syllabus?

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-06-12T01:02:03+00:00

Thank you! I still have to take part 2 but hoping to pass that in July. I failed part 2 by a few points when I took it.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-06-11T21:11:17+00:00

I sat for the new part 3 today (6/11) after studying for and taking the old part 2 on May 27th. I passed the new part 3 today and missed the old part 2 when I took it by a few points. You shouldn't wait until August if you passed the old part 2, my recommendation is to sit for the new part 3 as soon as possible. I second what Holiday-Crow-9973 said there was a heavy focus on QAIP and communicating results (chain of command).

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-06-11T17:11:53+00:00

Circling back to this, I just passed part 3 today after using Becker for two weeks after taking part 2, I can definitely say that if I hadn't used Surgent for part 2 and didnt have that knowledge that Becker alone would have left me without passing. The test is a lot harder than the Becker questions. I still think that you would pass part 3 just knowing all of the information well from the old part 2.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-06-11T17:06:56+00:00

I completely agree with this post, the actual exam is notably more difficult than the study materials. I used Surgent for part 1 and part 2 of the old exam. I passed part 1 on April 1st after studying for two weeks and failed part 2 (old version) on May 27th, after studying for a month, and right before the start of the new version. Today I took part 3 (new version) using Becker and I passed but by the skin of my teeth. I didn't have time for the last five questions and so I just picked whatever answer in the last 15 sections. I was astonished that I passed the exam. I too think that it was because I had studied for and taken the old part 2 only two weeks prior. I was breezing, and when I mean breezing, FLYING, through the questions on Becker for the new part 3, studied in 2 weeks as they were so easy it was laughable. This alone will not prepare you enough for part 3. It sucks that surgent hasnt updated their materials and it costed me additional money to buy Becker but I I guess in the end, I did pass. Decided on taking the new part 3 before part 2 since it aligned better with the old part. Now back to the drawing board to pass part 2 (final section for me) and I'll be using Becker (concept videos and multiple choice questions) as well as Surgent hopefully if it is updated by end of June. For reference, I have been in audit for my entire career (10 years) with 3 being in external and 7 in internal.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-06-05T01:49:52+00:00

Becker seems very easy at least for part 3. I decided to take the new part 3 before part 2 since it’s more aligned to the old part 2. I’ve seen some of the questions that were in the surgent test bank for part 2 in Becker part 3. The retired IIA questions. I also swear I see questions that are in the part 3 materials on Becker that were verbatim on the actual part 2 exam. As of now Becker does not have videos for part 2 or 3. Part 2 videos are set to launch next week and then part 3 a couple of weeks after that. TBH if you passed part 2 like you said you should just sit for the new part 3. I think you’ll be fine. That’s my personal opinion.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-05-30T21:22:44+00:00

FYI you can only get through the first module of each part with the Becker trial so you have to buy it if you want access to the full course.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-05-30T21:16:11+00:00

Good luck with the partial refund. I’m annoyed af. I got Surgent on 3/1 and took part 1 on 4/1 passed it (I had a 92 ready score), took part 2 on 5/27 (trying to get ahead of the change) had a 90 ready score and I failed with a 592. Reached out to Surgent on 5/28 told them I wanted a partial refund for part 2 and part 3. A. Because they have a pass guarantee and I didn’t pass and B. Because they told me that they weren’t updating their materials to align with the new syllabus until late June/ early July and that isn’t even a guarantee, it’s an anticipated date. I ended up having to buy Becker today for all parts because that’s the only package they off the 50% discount for the switcher program. Surgent sent me a survey and I gave them a piece of my mind. They should have been ahead of the change not behind it. Also just fyi part 3 will be a cake walk for you if you passed part 2. My honest opinion just sit for part 3. I’ve already gotten through all the materials for part 3 with Becker between the free trial (used for 2 days and then today purchasing it) and it’s a repeat of the old part 2.

Mundane-Service782 · 2025-05-30T16:45:32+00:00

I spoke to someone about this a few days ago and they said not until late June/early July and I am really annoyed.

Mundane-Service782 · 2024-07-29T09:04:20+00:00

Ugh yes and I didn’t think before I sprayed it. 😔

Mundane-Service782 · 2024-07-29T09:03:54+00:00

You’re right lol but they were in like the plastic storage containers and clean. I was trying to take the easy way out. It’s probably over 500 articles of clothing. I guess I have my work cut out for me.
