CPA AUD · 8-week rebuild
Template only - confirm waiting periods and fees on AICPA and NASBA pages.
Week 1 · Diagnose
Capture a fresh AUD baseline before reviewing answers. Record the first point where this failure appears: Recognising audit vocabulary without connecting the procedure to the stated risk, then collapsing on evidence-to-reporting simulations.
Week 2 · Diagnose
Classify the week 1 misses by rule choice, setup, evidence use, pacing, or execution. Select the one failure mechanism the rebuild must change.
Week 3 · Drill
Week 3 repairs the selected AUD failure with changed facts and focused rebuild intensity. Retest the repaired step within 72 hours.
Week 4 · Drill
Week 4 repairs the selected AUD failure with changed facts and focused rebuild intensity. Retest the repaired step within 72 hours.
Week 5 · Drill
Week 5 repairs the selected AUD failure with changed facts and focused rebuild intensity. Retest the repaired step within 72 hours.
Week 6 · Timed
Week 6 tests first-seen work in blocks approaching 240 minutes using MCQ + task-based simulations. Record both quality and pacing.
Week 7 · Timed
Week 7 tests first-seen work in blocks approaching 240 minutes using MCQ + task-based simulations. Record both quality and pacing.
Week 8 · Taper
Light high-weight review only. Confirm retake windows on awarding-body pages.
A retake plan fails when you only add volume. Change the weekly loop: diagnose → re-weight → timed proof.
