Hi folks, my first time posting here. I'm currently studying for AUD, taking the exam on Jan. 23rd. I'm using the Yaeger Home Study material for 2011. I'm about half way through the video lectures with AUD and I feel as if I'm not really absorbing the material. Gary Bulmash spends most of his time drilling multiple choice questions, often times with very little explanation or recall to the source material. I know part of the Ninja method is to take copious notes, but the only way I've been able to translate Bulmash's lessons into note form is by rewriting the multiple choice questions and answers into one statement, i.e. an auditor is not supposed to do such and such. I continually have to pause the video to finish writing out the notes, which makes a one hour video last 2-3 hours.
My questions for you is, how did you succeed on AUD with Yaeger and Wiley? It seems as if reading the Wiley book will take too long, but Bulmash skips over 90% of the topics and just drills multiple choice questions over and over. I can't help but suspect that I'm missing out on many topics. I'm thinking about pushing through the videos, taking very brief notes, and then going back and drilling on the Wiley MCQs and TBS in the book and the software, rewriting my notes in combination with the Ninja notes, and reviewing the Ninja notes daily. What are your thoughts and what did you do to pass this part of the exam?
