How long do you recommend per teslet in AUD vs the sims? In FAR I aimed for about 50 minutes each and an hour and a half for SIMs which worked well for me. Should I plan on decreasing that to 45 and give myself an hour 45 for sims because of looking things up in the AL?

Just looking for strategies that worked well for other people as I knock out this beast

AUD - 91
BEC - 91
FAR - 94
REG - 87

Done!

FAR- taken 8/11/16....now the wait begins
AUD- scheduled 9/8/16
BEC- scheduled 10/9/16
REG-scheduled 12/10/16

I'm shooting for 40-45 mins per testlet. I'm in the same boat as you, and want to have as much time as possible for the SIMs.

being familiar with the actual standards will save you time on sims. the toggling back and forth between the question and the AL is tedious and time consuming so knowing what standards exist and where to find things quickly will help you a lot.
i had about 2 hours for sims and used all that time. i would not have finished with less and i worked pretty fast on each. some were pretty long.

I took Audit today and finished the MCQ's with 2 hours and ten minutes left. I used the full 2 hours to complete the sims. The sims were not very nice to me. I'm praying for a passing score next week.
