Hey all, I’ve been using Yaeger, but I just got my second fail on AUD (74 then 68) even after doing everything in the home study. Is CRAM worth it or just more of the same? I really want to pass and am not feeling confident that the Yaeger material is getting me there, not sure if I want to sink the money into the CRAM or if I should just go back through the home study for another try.

I used Yaeger exclusively, and after getting a 73 on my first attempt at AUD, I bought the Yaeger Cram. It seemed, to me, to be a shortened version of the homestudy, but still covered the important stuff. Nevertheless, I got an 87 on my second try. Good Luck.

I would not buy the CRAM… it's basically the same as the regular course minus the going over of MCQ's and SIMS. Plus the AUD lectures are fairly short (I think about 20 hours total?), so if you learn best by listening, it doesn't take much time to go through the regular course lectures again.

The Yaeger lectures worked for me, but I felt like there were several gaps that needed to be filled in. I went back and read the modules in the Wiley book and that helped me tremendously.

Good luck!

Thanks all. Did anyone use the Wiley Test bank as well? I'm thinking I'll just go through all the lectures and MCQ, maybe read some. I'm just nervous because the first time (74) I watched the lectures and did some of the MCQ (they did most of them in the lecture), then the second time I read the book and did the MCQ/Sims that were recommended and ended up with a 68….

Yes, I'm glad you brought it up. I started using the Wiley Test Bank heavily with AUD, and carried it through REG. I could get scores in the 90's with AUD, but only in the 80's with REG.
