I am happy to report that I scored 85 in AUD. 🙂
That number is very close to my most optimistic estimate, so I'd say (although had been so agonizing to say the least) it was worth the wait for me.
For those of you who weren't so lucky this time, I wish you nothing but the best.
Here is my experience (hoping it'll help someone):
I used Gleim AUD program (2011 version) and Wiley book (not 2011 edition).
I barely did half of all the problems and no Wiley sims.
In my case, I found the Gleim mcqs most helpful but the sims not as much.
I was scoring b/w 75 and 95 on Gleim mcq (going over all the ones that I missed until I fully understood).
I hardly memorized any of the mnemonics but put more effort in understanding the concepts.
Good luck to you all!
