I basically attended the lectures, then re-read each lecture, and after reading one lecture, I would do the MCQ's for that chapter untill I got them ALL RIGHT.
So time wise, I'd say almost 70-75% of your time should be on MCQs (more if you can). Reading maybe 20% and I honestly only worked on simulations the two days before I took the exam. You really do not have to read "in-depth" because it is humanly impossible to retain that volume of knowledge. The MCQ's though do a great job of reinforcing the topics you read and basically tell you what you need to know from the reading.
Simulations you should do mainly to know the nuances of a simulation and how all the tools work. They also do a good job of reinforcing some of the more general topics, but there is almost a 99% chance the simulations you study will not be on the cpa exam, so try not to put too much stock into knowing the specific content. If you have a pretty decent grasp of your respective section, you shouldn't be "too" surprised with the content of your simulation (at least parts of it, there is a good chance there will be some stuff on your simulation you have no freakin clue on)
