I’m planning on getting the Wiley Study Guide and Test Bank to help me with AUD. Would that be redundant? (Ill take AUD January 2015 and start studying for it in November 2014.)

What is included with the Study Guide? On the website it the description mentioned ~3,800 MCQ’s and 280 Sims.

Doesn’t seem like these would be included with the $65 Study guide if the “test bank” cost $150 for AUD and comes with less questions. Does the Study guide include practice questions?

Also, what are the “Focus Notes” and how do they compare to the Study Guide? Will the focus notes be redundant to me if I purchase the Study Guide? Any reason to purchase both?

How do you guys like the review materials? I have 2012 review books and mcq’s for AUD, I just need something current to accommodate for the recent changes to the exam. Anyone think this won’t be sufficient?

Also, what in my 2012 materials should I intentionally NOT study because of the recent exam changes? What changed or was anything removed?

TIA

I have the Wiley book and test bank for 2013-2014 (just before it merged with CPAexcel), and I think they work just fine together. They have some questions in common but not too many. Plus sometimes I want to work in a book and sometimes I want to work on a computer, so having both has been really helpful. However, I purchased WTB when it was about half the cost before they “improved” it, and while it works on a tablet now, a lot of the work they did seem like downgrades rather than upgrades. There are also a LOT of mistakes. If I were to buy a test bank today, it would probably be Ninja MCQ.

I don't know what the Focus Notes are, and there have been a lot of changes with AUD since 2012 so tread carefully there. Just to at least touch on the other questions.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)
