I know how you feel. I didn't pass AUD until the third time. I think the 73 was the worst of the scores I received on it because it's like, "we know you know the material, but you need to take it again and give us more exam and registration fees to really prove it."
I used Becker as well, and I think they do a good job with AUD. Their content is organized, the mnemonics are easy to understand and remember, etc... Look back on how you're studying. Are you learning the multiple choice questions or actually learning the material and theories behind the questions?
I do every multiple choice question 3-6 times depending both how much time I have to prepare for the exam and how strong/weak I am in each area. To ensure that I wasn't learning only the multiple choice questions my third time around, I ordered the Yaeger CRAM and the Wiley 2010 book. I worked through all of the questions in that book during my last week of studying. Sure, some questions are exactly the same, but seeing them in print rather than in the same place on the computer screen did make a difference. The Yaeger CRAM was also great because it gave another prospective on the material that wasn't Becker's. Just be careful that the Yaeger mnemonics don't cause confusion.
Just keep at it, you are so close that you can taste that 75. Good luck!
