I finished up all my lectures, and my MCQ for the coinciding sections in AUD Becker. I am going through the lectures again just to get a refresher of the earlier sections. My exam is on the 17th of May, I am not sure what I should do from now until then. I got around 9 days to do a review of all the AUD info. Would you recommend just as many multiple choice/simulations as I can do?? Or What?!?

skip the lectures and do as many multiple choice as you can. if you don't understand something or get something wrong then go back to the book for a reference. study hard for 8 and a half days and relax the night before! good luck!

You could do that and probably be fine, but I would add ~3-7 sims per day as well. Even if you don't complete the sims, just reading them with the answers helps quite a bit. If you have flash cards, I'd go though them before doing MCQs and maybe after too. If you don't have flashcards, them just skim through the textbook paying closer attention to what you're weaker on, examples, pass keys, mnemonics, & formulas (not many formulas for AUD).

You could also break everything up by section: review, mcqs, etc. Or 2 sections at a time; ~100-200 mcqs a day & 3-7+ sims per day. Maybe do 2-3 sections a day, and on the final day skimming through it all. Good luck.

tbh, even if you stopped studying today, you might just pass anyway. Once you go through all the lectures & mcqs once, that is usually enough for every section.

Doing a lot more multiple choice helped me go from a 70 to 84. Keep doing them over and over. I would do MCQ for the next 4 or 5 days, then read over notes for 1 or 2 days, then MCQ the remaining until your exam. Spend all your free time doing this.

AUD: 84
REG: 84
BEC: 79
FAR: 83

I just get so burnt out doing MCQ that I get sick of studying…do you guys have any kind of method to this madness…do you ever take breaks when your doing MCQ?

i do like 50/60 MCQs then take a 10-15 minute break. Or i'll review my notes for 30-40 minutes & take a break.

I started doing this when i was studying for BEC and i think it helped alot. it's good to give your brain a little break every so often.
