AUD Components
In the AUD section of the CPA Exam, multiple choice questions account for 70% of the overall score. Questions appear in 3 sets or testlets that adapt to your current skill level, meaning that the first set of questions are a medium difficulty level and if you perform well the next set of questions will get harder (and are worth more points) or if you perform poorly the next set of questions will get easier (and are worth fewer points).
The remaining 30% of the score comes from completing simulations, which are miniature case studies that require practical application of skills such as research, written communication, and spreadsheet design.

Hey, this is the only one I have left. I am going through my first busy season. Will any real life experience actually help with this exam? or is predominantly book knowledge?

Real life definitely helps. This is the one part that I have passed without great effort. Being on the job really helped.

This is really where the quality of your internship as an undergrad can help you. If you worked in a good one in which you were given real, meaningful task than that level of on the job experience is invaluable for exams.
