Dear Kim, I hope you are keeping well. I was wondering if you could kindly share some of your top tips for passing AA. I recently sat my FR exam in September 2025 and I am planning to take AA in December 2025. Kind regards,

In my view and what helped me out in terms of passing the above subject was understanding the overall subject. Understanding from start to finish what type of audit or assurance engagement was or could be asked about, the differences between them, what they are designed to achieve, how they should be carried out and in some cases why they shouldn't be undertaken in the first place for example due to professional, legal or ethical reasons. The concepts of risk and how to deal with various types of risk are important in this subject. It's said and written a lot that question practice is important. I would argue that it's particularly important with this subject. So please undertake appropriate exam practice. Hope this helps.

I've just seen that this was addressed to the tutor. I answered because it was on the general subject forum.However, I hope it was helpful anyway.
