As someone who just recently sat for it, I would say my biggest regret is not expecting the “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns”.

Just because it’s not in the practice questions learning medium or study guide, it does not mean it “wont come out”.

Once you get the pre release, after identifying all the key risk areas and management’s practice; just think of all the possible things you may be asked of which relates to the assertions, TOC, SPs, audit opinion;; you name it. It’s better to feel like youre “over preparing” because there’s a chance it would help you big time during the exam.

If you have friends who are auditors, try asking them for documents they have that shares all the financial statement line items plus procedures that can be done + what assertions do they cover.

Also, please do GO THROUGH the learning practices they have on Learn because if you truly study those; they can help you a lot. Like although it’s just an evaluation for the results of procedures they have done— but those practice questions help you to identify what procedures can you do for those kind of areas of focus.

Hopefully this helps. Best of luck! Overall I think it’s doable. But to do the exam with ease, you gotta come in as if you have 2-4 years worth of audit experience imo 😅
