I use Becker and this is my pass key:

I listen to the lectures and then I read the chapters each one time manually.  I then do the first round of homework.  Then I reread the chapters and do the missed questions and rinse and repeat until done.  I don't do the simulations bc no matter what, the test sims seem to come from Mars.  I spend ALL of my time with concepts and reading until I memorize the book.  Four days before the exam, I lay around and listen to the lectures (tired of reading by this point) and take naps then more lectures, then more naps.  The day before the test, I flip though each page of the book burning it visually in my head for the last time.  I don't actually read it; I just skim it.  I quit looking at the book around 5:00 the day before the test.  I then spend the evening watching inspiring sports movies!  Ok, cheesy, but they are inspiring.

I did Becker.  I have Wiley, too, but didn't do Wiley because 1) I was worried that material from two different sources would get confusing and 2) I simply did not have the time anyways, given my study plan. 

I think Becker is the way to go; given that they seem to base their practice MCQs and sims on actual AICPA questions that were released before, they are the most representative.

how long do you study for each part? I just took FARE in 5/15 didnt pass too and got the results at the same time. Now I'm currently studying for AUD
