Focus on Becker 100% first my friend, jumping around might actually hurt
because of losing focus. Becker has been very sufficient for me on AUD and
BEC. And I am an average student.

Gleim test prep is cheap and is very user friendly. The answers provide good explanations and you can test yourself all or select topics at the same time; it's been my main source for MCQ's. I haven't used Becker, but the Gleim test prep is def. worth $55.
I use Wiley for its cheapest price, and I should say the book will waste your lot of time in reading and comprehending some basic and simple logic because it just copy the rule from the tax law. In contrast, Becker really know what the student want and the sentence is simple and easy. If your time is limited, just focus on becker. For any concept you don't understand in becker, you won't understand by reading Wiley and you will be even doubt.

If you haven't taken and failed the test then just stick with Becker, it's more then enough and better then anything else. I'm studying for another attempt at AUD and I got Gleim. I did this only because I've worked the Becker question up to 6 and even 8 times. I'm going through Becker again as though it's my first attempt at AUD. I'm only doing the questions once (twice for the ones I miss). During my final two weeks of review I'll only work the 1,700 Gleim questions while reviewing the Becker text. I'm only doing this so I can have different questions to work that I haven't done 10+ times already.
I'm obviously still waiting on my REG score but I didn't feel suprised by anything that was on the actual exam. Becker did great at covering the material. REG is tricky though because there is so much to know and answers differ depending on wording of the questions. I'd say stick with Becker and study your ass off!
