How to Master Simulaitons,
By CPA candidate (Bloomfield, NJ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wiley CPA Exam: How to Master Simulations (with CD ROM) (Paperback)
I did not find too many useful hints in this book. The information provided can be found in the NASBA website. However, some of the simulation questions were helpful. It was helpful because it provided a detailed explanation. The reason why I purchased the software was to get experience with the research portion of the exam. This CD does not have this option available.

This review is from: Wiley CPA Exam: How to Master Simulations (Kindle Edition)
I purchased this book hoping to get more hints and tips, but I found the information is repetitive and very similar to those tips already discussed in their outlines. I also expected to practice on the software but was very disappointed with the quality and quantity. The quality is ridiculous, they just pdf the tax return and let you type over it, not software like. The format is nothing like the real exam and it only has 2 questions for each section and it can't grade!!!! it just provide you with an answer and you will have to do the grading yourself. And the research section is a joke, again doesn't looks like the real exam and it doesn't perform the search correcly. Waste of money! I really like their outlines, but this one is a rip-off. Save your time and money on something else......

3.0 out of 5 stars
Contains some good tips,
By Herbert Quiong (New York) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wiley CPA Exam: How to Master Simulations (Wiley CPA Exam: How to Master Simulations (W/CD)) (Paperback)
This book/software package has some good tips on writing and calculating. I would recommend if you need extra help for the simulations and never sat for the exam before. It gives some great Written Communication tips to maximize score. Definitely helps prepare.
UPDATE...The CPA EXAM has changed in 2011. There are no longer written communications in FAR, AUD, and REG. Its all in BEC now. The simulations are much shorter and not as "in depth" as before. It is also in one Testlet rather than 2. This book is in the old format. I wouldn't recommend it anymore as "helpful"
