Hi Everyone – I’m a week out from my next stab at AUD. I’ve been studying every day and crossing my fingers that I pass it this time!! I wanted to get some opinions on the simulations – mainly the authoritative literature. I see that people have said to “know how to use it,” but I’m just looking for some more clarification. I’ve even seen where people said they used the AL for all of their sims. My biggest question is: how?! Does anyone have any tips? I’ve been studying with Becker and downloaded the Ninja Audio and the Wiley Test Bank. Hoping that studying pays off this time!!

Has anyone NOT found the authoritative literature to be helpful for AUD? I had 2.5 hours left for my sims, so I had plenty of time to search the AL. Three of my sims were too easy to warrant using the AL, two were research (so I obviously had to use the AL), and the remaining two were insanely hard but the AL did not go into enough detail to be useful. The whole “taking answers word for word from the AL” that everyone seems to always talk about for AUD was NOT the case for me.

@barely – I had the same experience. Two of my SIMS were very basic, but I used the AL to back up my answers for good measure. I had two that the AL did not help with at all, even though I had a massive amount of time to search through it. I definitely think the AL helps the most on the sims for this exam vs. the others, but you won't end up finding every single answer in there. Some stuff you just have to know how to do.

Okay, good! I was worried I had done something wrong, since I was barely able to use it and I seemed to be one of the only ones who had that experience.
