Few weeks til I take AUD. Any suggestions for review? Is it worth reading through materials again or should I focus on MCQs/TBS?

For me doing a lot of 30 question progress tests helped a lot. I would see where I was weak and skim back though those sections, unless I did bad then I would redo a group of homework. Passed all 4 sections studying a month or less on each one doing this. Just make sure you understand the concepts, and don't just memorize answers.

Before I took the tests I went back over the sims first to see what I really didn't know, then after going through them, I took the review test MCQs for Becker, which included all sections and would tell me which section I was weakest in. Worked for me anyway

MCQs and SIMS were key for me, I'm much more hands on learning.

Multiple choice!! The way they word the questions is dumb AF

No, it is like the review software. But they are not intuitive and easy to understand like the other 3 exams. The hardest part of the audit exam for me was getting comfortable with the wording of the questions as stupid as that sounds, because the material itself is very straightforward, but the questions make you second guess yourself.

What do you mean? Not similar to the CPA review softwares?

Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).
