1) I used an 08 becker book so no

2) I would stick to MC and review the concepts on areas you get less than 75% on

3) I don't use Gliem but if there are over 1000 MCQ and they are well diversified, then I would say you can stick to that

4) don't forget, you get your results mailed to you which will allow you to focus your studying in the future.  Also, don't over look the simulations

I think there is no need to buy 09 edition.I used gleim test prep cd for mcqs for all four parts and i think it prepared me well.Don't waste time in doing publishers questions and use it in practicing past cpa mcqs as many times as possible.I practiced atleast 3 times.Even if i knew the right answer i tried to understand why others are wrong.Mark the questions you are doing wrong and revise them just before exam.For simulations i think wiley is damn good.You can get in your city liabrary.

You can find some wiley questions and simulations here-
