@CPA.hopeful.2013 and @cpa2012 I'm pretty sure that AU-C just replaces AU, doesn't replace all the others (AT, QC, etc), so I would definitely expect to see those others on the exam, just not see the AU. I should've clarified in my post that when considering AU vs AU-C, I would go with AU-C, but that the other other standards are still in effect for their specific applications. (Like, QC still covers Quality standards beyond AU-C.)
@CPA.hopeful.2013 If NINJA notes have benefited you greatly in other exams, then they'll probably benefit you here. Personally, they haven't been that useful. I have attempted to use them for a couple exams and never felt they were real helpful…same with AUD. But, that's my learning style, and may not be yours!
@Peter AUD is very conceptual, but IMHO, the SIMs test concepts better than MCQs. So, I would suggest you at least look at a few sample SIMs. I only did a few practice SIMs, but I think that having done those few did help me with the real thing.
