* A unique modular structure that divides content into self-contained study modules
* AICPA content requirements and three times as many examples as found in other study guides

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Value for those inclined to independent study, July 6, 2008
This is truly a great set of preparation tool for the CPA exam with a minor caveat. As someone who has bought the 2006 edition and finally got around taking the exam, these booklets were instrumental in allowing me to pass the exam the first go-around. It has more than enough multiple choice questions to help you prepare for that part of the cpa exam. I truly encourage anyone taking the exam to visit the cpa-exam.org site to practice the simulation portion of the exam as these booklets are not as helpful for that portion of the exam, as you may have surmised. While it does have questions that are found in the simulation section, you won't know how to navigate around the simulation portion of the test until you actually try one. It is just matter of learning how to look up various accounting principles as well as how to cut and paste the relevant sections to the answer section. It helps if you already know how to navigate around the simulation section beforehand and that experience, this book will obviously not provide.

Going back to the review of the booklets, these books are not for you if you learn better in a group setting. However, if you are inclined to independent study, I wholeheartedly recommend that you buy these books. As someone else had mentioned, I found the the multiple choice questions in the books to be much harder than the actual exam questions. Therefore, do not get discouraged if you find that the questions in the books are challenging because they are. However, it will be more than enough, in my opinion, to get you ready for the test. Ultimately, the best way to prepare is to do as many sample questions as possible,and these books have more than its fair share of them.

In summary, if you are inclined to independent study and do not have the financial wherewithal or just plain too cheap (like myself) to take the courses that are offered -such as Becker - these books are definitely the right purchase

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it for the questions, June 29, 2007
This review is from: Wiley CPA Exam Review 2007 4-volume Set (Paperback)
I haven't yet received my scores, so I can't say whether I passed, but I can say that these really helped me focus my studies onto the questions I missed in the practice exams found in these books. I bought these books because I found the current program I was using (CPAExcel)really lacked enough questions to guage how I was doing and allow me to practice my skills repetitively. There were enough questions in these texts to aid in my understanding of the subject matter, plus I looked to some of the outlines to gain a clearer understaidng of some of the concepts. I mostly bought it for the questions and it was great for that.
