4.0 out of 5 stars Good study aid but watch out for errors, May 26, 2005

I am in the process of studying for the CPA exam (I take the Audit section tomorrow), so I haven't worked my way through all of the books in this 4 volume set. Each of the books is divided into 'modules' to help you study by topic area. The information presented at the beginning of each module is concise and well laid out; a great aid to learning. The multiple choice questions in each module are challenging and the answers provided help to explain the correct answers. Three of the books (except BEC) have 'simulation' questions. These are a valuable resource in studying, however, Whittington and Delaney have done a poor job of editing these simulations and the problems and answers are riddled with errors. So, watch out! These errors can be a source of much frustration.

Overall, this 4 volume set has helped me improve my knowledge for the CPA exam. Happy Studying!

3.0 out of 5 stars You weren't kidding about errors!, October 5, 2005

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2005, 4-Volume SET (Wiley CPA Examination Review (4v.)) (Paperback)

I am in the process of studying for the exam and overall the books are helping considerably. However, the other customer review talked about errors in the answers to the simulation problems and he wasn't kidding. There are numerous errors (incorrect answers) throughout. It is not a big deal when you know the topic well and are confident in the answer, but when you are unsure of the correct answer, it is a real headache!

At least the answers to the multiple choice questions don't seem to have any errors.

The information in these books helped me pass the exam on the first try. I would study the material for each chapter, then study flashcards I made out of the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. Might not work for everybody, but it did for me!
