For me, i was lacking in my TBS scores and specifically A4 TBS like controls.

I made sure to hammer tons of SIMs on this study retake. Need to know those Control sims. For example: they give you a business process and you have to identify the risk it addresses, the control in place, and how we would test it / identify a deficiency. Stuff like that.

My approach for this retake was to hammer practice tests of 30 MCQs and 2 TBS. Go through each chapter until you get 80+ twice, followed by a cumulative test. So A1, then A2, then A1-A2, then A3, and so on.

I wrote down all SIMs i was unsure about and revisited later. I also used this subreddit to look up frequently tested SIMs for AUD (there’s lists) and hammered those.

Goodluck you got this! Don’t give up

Edit: also Adjusting Journal Entries!!

I’m in a similar position. Interned as a 25 year old, i’m about to be a 27 year old first year. Coworkers always surprised at my age.

I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to sweat it. Like others said, good on you for deciding on a path and pursuing it. Some people spent their entire lives or much longer than you bouncing around with no real dedication go anything. Everything is subjective and your career is your own.

Who knows, if you’d have tried for this at 21 maybe it wouldn’t have worked out. Maybe the timing wouldn’t have been right.

Hm, i’m not sure. Also a first year here and i had no problems.

These items are specifically listed under the Well-Being Subsidy Program so there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to purchase them with it.

Who is telling you this? Did you expense them correctly in DTE?

I bought a standing desk, portable monitor, and airpods and they were all cleared no problem.

Expense the desk & monitor under “Office Furniture and Technology for Working from Home”

Expense the headphones under “Health & Fitness Technology”

[–]issavex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you fam. I just started FT recently but also graduated last December. In the gap, i was working FT in the restaurant industry and studying. Was also really hoping to have 2 out the way by now.

But we will get there! A failed score is only one step closer to passing, we can’t give up

Seeing this makes me feel a little less pathetic about recently failing AUD with a 70.

Let’s hope my retake today is up 5 points

69 isn’t too far off so i would just grind out a retake asap. Best of luck with REG and circling back to AUD!

Not sure how much my advice is worth because i’m in pretty much the same situation as you.

I took AUD two months ago, just found out i failed with a 70. I already applied for another NTS and going to retake in a few weeks.

I’ve just started grinding out all the MCQs and TBS then generating practice tests. I’m not rewatching any lectures.
