Review

"I wanted to just say I bought just the four books by Wiley for each CPA section and took all 4 parts of the exam in May 2009. I studied for about half a year, and I PASSED ALL 4 PARTS ON THE FIRST TRY!!! 95% REG, 88% FAR, 82% AUD, 81% BEC. I am very excited and happy that these books alone helped me pass!"- Gabriela Adriana Mandiuc, Boerne, TX

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very thorough, July 1, 2010

This review is from: Wiley CPA Exam Review 2010, Regulation (Wiley CPA Examination Review: Regulation) (Paperback)

This book assumes that you've already learned all of this material in school, which is rare unless you have been through law school in addition to your accounting education. Each study section (module) ends with a short exam; however, about 30% of the questions test information that is not found in the study sections. Fortunately, the authors mention some of the missing information in the answer explanations.

Also, many of the references to legislation imply that the text has not been updated for several years. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is mentioned as if it is still pending. Be careful if this is your only study aid for the CPA exam.

Because of the omitted study material, the best strategy with this book is to skip the section exams and simply read all of the answers for the missing information. Then, try the full practice exam at the end of the book for a more accurate measure of your knowledge.

So far so good. I used the Wiley CPA Review book for BEC and passed on the first try with a 79. Now I'm using the REG book to study. I also have the Wiley CPA CD which has additional questions from the book. As long as I keep passing on the first try I'll definitely recommend Wiley CPA review material.
