I did and found them helpful for AUD but not so much for the others. NINJA notes are a much better supplement in my opinion.

AUD 4/12/12 79
FAR 5/29/12 76
REG 8/2/12 82
BEC 8/30/12 72 Retake 10/18/12 76!!! DONE!!!!

I've used them and for AUD and REG they were my reading source. I supplemented them with my own extensive notes.

The AUD notes are very well written. Definitely recommend them.

However, this is not a good way to study. Nothing compares to a good review course and Wiley is not one of them. Their tests are great though.

They are pretty different from Ninja notes so I think comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. I had the Wiley notes for FAR and REG and thought they were ok. Like all things Wiley there are many typos and formatting issues.

If you are going to get notes, I'd look at the Ninja notes. More “high level”, with much less detail but a really good summary of the shit you need to know.
