  We study current-induced switching in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in the
presence of a field-like spin-transfer torque and titled pinned-layer
magnetization in the high current limit at finite temperature. We consider both
the Slonczewski and field-like torques with coefficients $a_J$ and $b_J $,
respectively. At finite temperatures, $\sigma= b_J/a_J = \pm1$ leads to a
smaller mean switching time compared that with $\sigma = 0$. The reduction of
switching time in the presence of the field-like term is due to the alignment
effect (for $\sigma > 0$) and the initial torque effect.
