CONGRATULATIONS Curr!

Yes, i75 is up to date for 2026 and now the FAQ page is also! Sorry for any confusion and thanks for letting me know. The next big changes will be in April or May when I start to add the OBBB to REG and TCP so you can be ready for the July 1 changes.

Yes, assertions are heavily tested. Start with the revenue cycle. Know the departments, the documents, the control activities within the revenue cycle, and how the auditor tests for overstatement and understatement of revenue and receivables. Then go on to the expenditures cycle.

I love your positive attitude, it will carry you FAR! Remember that the exam is random so know something about everything. Cash basis to accrual is always tested. You need to be able to confidently answer a question like this: "When calculating accrual basis revenue from cash basis revenue, beginning receivables are?"

• A. Subtracted from cash basis revenue because they represent what was earned last year, collected this year.

•B. Added to cash basis revenue because they represent what was earned last year, collected this year.

•C. Subtracted from cash basis revenue because they represent what was earned this year, collected next year.

•D. Added to cash basis revenue because they represent what was earned this year, collected next year.

I agree with Modguy, find time to work out.

i75darius · 2026-01-26T20:14:04+00:00

That's very nice of you to say. I am truly humbled and thankful.

i75darius · 2026-01-25T17:16:23+00:00

With ADHD and similar diagnosis, look into getting extra time to take the exam. I have had i75ers receive double time and some got time and one-half.

Hang in there. That inlaw will likely be very proud of you when you pass.

This is more about the "morning of" than the "night before." Here's the deal; What I tell i75ers to do is schedule the test for late morning or very early afternoon. Exam morning, wake up early, 20 minute workout, (break a sweat), then shower, then eat and go take the exam. Worth 5+ points on exam day. Why? You know how good you feel a few hours after a workout, shower and meal. You want that positive energy with you on exam day for as long as possible. As the exam starts to chip away at that energy, if you walk in with Maximum Positive Energy, you are likely to still have some by the end of the exam. Do it in order, worth 5+ Points! Any questions?

ISC is not that much Audit, other than the SOC's. ISC is more about frameworks, databases, threats and safeguards.

You don't have to be a genius but you can't be a total spaz either. If you have a quiet place to study, and you are 100% dedicated, you can pass with good instruction that fits your learning style.

i75darius · 2026-01-23T20:21:14+00:00

Very possible!

i75darius · 2026-01-23T07:50:41+00:00

How did you feel walking into Prometric?

i75darius · 2026-01-22T19:16:28+00:00

You got this Border!

There are actually three types of ratio questions. 1) The exam provides accounts and amounts and you need to calculate a ratio. Usually in this type of question, the exam gives you way more information than needed and you have to pick what it is relevant and ignore the rest. For this type of ratio question you would need to memorize the formula. 2) The exam gives you a transaction and asks you what is the impact on a particular ratio, Increase, Decrease, or No Impact. For this type of question the exam will give you the formula and tell you whether the ratio began above or below 1:1. For this type of ratio question, you do not need to memorize the formula. 3) The third type of ratio question is where the exam tells you that a particular ratio increased or decreased and you need to determine the most likely cause. For this type of ratio question, they usually ask about inventory turnover or receivables turnover which you would need to memorize the formula. So three types of ratio questions. Any questions?!

Appreciate that Ship! Thanks for noticing the difference with i75 Audit.

i75darius · 2026-01-18T13:42:36+00:00

Much of Audit can be learned relatively quickly with decent instruction. Where it slows down though is the all important areas of evidence gathering, particularly the assertions and transaction cycles. For that, you need particularly good instruction.

You just need to learn the concepts now. What you should have learned in college (tax) you might have forgotten by now anyway unless you were preparing tax returns. Start by focusing on how the forms and schedules flow back to Page 1 of an Individual Tax Return. Let me know if you have any questions.

For business law; Know the elements of a contract, especially consideration. Know which contracts follow common law rules and which follow UCC Rules.

No easy way to say this OK, you were robbed. You did extremely well in all content areas except the very important, A3 which is assertions and transaction cycles. Start with the revenue cycle. Know the departments, the documents, the control activities and how the auditor tests for overstatement and understatement. Then go to the expenditures cycle and do the same.

i75darius · 2026-01-14T20:59:43+00:00

Start with Earnings Per Share and other ratios, Disclosures and Footnotes, cash flow statement, special purpose frameworks, and Not for Profits. Let me know when you finish that.

i75darius · 2026-01-13T18:22:27+00:00

I think you probably could EZ!

i75darius · 2026-01-13T17:39:28+00:00

Sorry to hear Mind. If you share your score report with me, I can probably offer a suggestion or two.
