The test bank is good in that it offers a lot of practice questions for very little money. I am almost overwhelmed by the number of questions that are in the software. I am currently using this cd along with the free cpa review website. I had some problems installing this program on my system initially, but it seems to work now. My biggest complaint is that I have found numerous errors (spelling, wrong years etc.)in the software. There is no excuse for the amount of errors I have found and I am strongly considering contacting the publisher themselves to advise them to correct the errors in future editions.

This test bank is very helpful. It provides study and exam modes to users. In the study mode, users can select questions from different topics and also can select the option to get instant answer explanation. People who are going to take CPA exam and don't want to spend thousand of money on the review courses should use this test bank with its 4-volume review book. I think problems in the test bank and review book are more difficult than other review courses'. But it is good for exam takers to work on harder questions before the exam.

Pros:

- Lot of questions with explanations.

Cons:

- Some questions are the exact questions from the Wiley book.
- Timer does not stop meaning you can't really tell how long you take per question.
- ERRORS with so many questions. Example, in BEC there are problems that ask you a few questions based on the same information such as, #1 What is the accounts receivable turnover? #2 What is the days sales outstanding? #3 What is the ....you get the point. But NO, the questions will ask you, "What is the accounts receivable turnover?" 3 TIMES IN A ROW with DIFFERENT ANSWERS FOR EACH QUESTION. That is an absolute epic fail as they didn't program the questions right when the software was developed. This leads me to go click every answer to see what the question REALLY was but what's the point? I already know what is the answer....

Haven't studied the other parts but who knows how many errors I will find in there??

STAY AWAY FROM THIS OVERPRICED FAILED SOFTWARE!

This really helps. The questions in this test bank covers all four parts. It is about 80% different than all the questions in the textbook. Must have for the extra practice.

I definitely like the Wiley CPA Review books, the CD offers additional questions. My only issue is I've found tons of errors on the CD. For instance the question will be wrong (i.e. not related to the material presented) so you have to figure out what they may be trying to ask. I've found some calculation errors as well. Not just a few errors I've found enough that they need some serious quality control. The Wiley books are great though.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. I just bought this product so that I can use it to study for all four parts. Currently I am studying for the FAR exam. I love this product. It has an abundance of questions. The explanations are great, and you also have access to the text that can provide further explanation for each question. The cost is just a fraction of what you land up paying for other courses. I highly recommend it. You won't regret it. I'm happy I have it.

I purchased this item to study with until the 2011 version came out. Once I received this one (2010) I found it looked a little shady (cheaply printed) but it worked. Unfortunately, once I received the 2011 version I realized that the 2010 item I bought was not from the manufacturer. I do not purchase items like this and will not purchase anything from this person again.
