Not sure how 2 explain it w/o misleading one 2 think there are by-passes to reading the material.
But in my case, I had 6 wks to prepare for AUD, something for which I had forgotten everything I'd read prior to then. Becker chapters were nauseating the first and even second time I read them. I stuck w/ Becker. They seem to be the shortest.
I'd made a shorter version of Becker material and limited my “studying” (reading the lectures) to that, choosing to invest the remainder of all my time to doing every single practice question I had @my disposal.
Unlike other sections, AUD wasn't too affected by new international standards merging, so even old material were still relevant to the current CPA exams.
