Failed Audit

I found out during the last score release that I failed Audit.  I was so close but yet so far away.  I was so mad at myself for not being consistent with my studying. Had I studies as hard as I did the last two weeks prior to taking my exam I believe I would have seen that 75.  So, here I am back at it again.  And once again chanting the mantra that this is the last time I will be studying for audit.  The one thing different this time around is I am beyond motivated to pass.  Getting a score fairly close always leaves me hopeful that I can pass these exams. 

I posted on the Yaeger CPA Review message board that I failed and I was not sure on restudying from scratch with the Homestudy or purchase their Cram.  The wonderful folks at Yaeger were kind enough to give me access to the 2014 Audit Cram since I had 2012 on hand.  I was beyond elated since that is less money for to shell out since I have to pay for my retake.  I was already planning on taking BEC October 3 but that will not be happening.  I am going to focus on Audit and then take BEC in November prior to Thanksgiving.  I have vowed to be consistent with my studying.  I am going to be studying pretty much every night except for some Friday nights since those are date nights with my wonderful fiance. 

So, here we go again.  This time determined and coming for audit with a vengeance.  I will post more frequently during the week so I stay accountable.  This week's study plan is listed below (I plan on just watching the Cram videos on each day and taking extensive notes.  I will probably do at least 30 questions after each section and then do 30 progressive tests each day from sections previously covered).
