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.

the product arrived on time. The book was just what I needed for a class.

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!!

Very good service and the book was in good conditions...

Liked the entrepreneural perspcetive.

I purhcased this book for school...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on this book. Instructors may love it...instructions in the back of the book say to create certain budgets. BUT, no where in the assigned chapter or even in the text does it provide or explain the type of budget that needs to be created. You are FORCED to go out to the internet and conduct further research. In addition, the book bounces around way too much. You read chapter 6, guess what? You have to go back and re-read chapters 2 and 3 just to figure out what chapter 6 is saying. It's like this all the way through the text book. Then once you read, and re-read and are ready to do some of the problems that are assigned, no where in the text book does it even cover what the problem is asking for! I spent $130 on this book; once I am through with my class I will "toss" this book. It has no meaning and it does NOT teach anything about managerial accounting. Louderback and Holmen must have paid colleges to carry this book...call these folks Accountants? Once you get into the book, it becomes very easy to simply get lost because of the jumping around. If you want to learn accounting, you learn by experience and that is through examples set before you. This book does not provide any of that.

Very dull, very dry, very expensive
