I was very unhappy with this workbook compared to the Wiley workbook. Took the exam twice with Kaplan and failed. The review material is extremely extensive and quite boring with little practical examples. I also purchased the flashcards...don't waste your money. I would definitely recommend their other flashcards for the other three exams but not these. If you really want to be the best prepared for the BEC section of the exam I would recommend Wiley CPA review and the Wiley focus notes. I have taken this exam 3 times thanks to Kaplan. I finally was prepared enough when I dumped my Kaplan materials and switched to Wiley. They had easy ways of remembering the concepts and formulas. Maybe because it is a new section and all the review courses are trying to guess what kind of material is actually going to be tested well Kaplan needs to definitely rework their material and definitely their flashcards.
I purchased the Regulations and Business and Environments cd's to listen to in my car and at the gym. I initally purchased it thinking it was going to be similar to the Joe Hoyle audio cd's but to my extreme disappointment they were recorded by someone else. The sound quality was very poor and I felt they could have included better coverage of the key topics.
