5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the Study Guide for Managerial Accounting, February 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Managerial Accounting (Paperback)

My first Accounting Test consisted of three chapters from my Mangerial Accounting text. My professor was very vague on what material to focus on from each chapter, and did not go over much in of the material in class. I used the Study Guide for the corresponding three chapters, and after taking the test was thouroughly satisfied with my preparation for the test. The Study Guide has multiple choice questions to cover the objectives of each chapter. It has True/False questions to test your knowledge of relevant subject matter. More importantly it gives you extra practice with the Accounting problems. It answered many questions I had after leaving a lecture with my professor. When you do not get and answer correct, the answer guide in the back of the book gives you good explanations of where you went wrong. For example, with the multiple choice questions there are excerpts next to the correct answer.

I understand if you have to buy it for college. If not DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! You get so lost with the exercises, and although I also bought the workbook (I was so frustrated with the book that this was my only alternative) it didn't help me much. Don't get me wrong; if YOU HAVE to buy the book , get the workbook. And if you have the choice to learn Managerial Accounting from another book, DO IT, this one will make your life miserable, and you will end buying another book from another author to understand the exs.

I guess teachers like the book because it provides them with the entire tests. They don't have to do anything, only send you the grade. By the way, those test provided to them by the book, are the worst ever! So, be prepared!!! and I mean PREPARE!!
