3.0 out of 5 stars Decent if you can't afford a review course, January 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2004, Regulation (Wiley Cpa Examination Review Regulation) (Paperback)

If you have the funds I highly recommend the Becker Convisor program. After I purchased the set of Wiley books I ended up doing the Becker program instead and found that their programs and materials were vastly superior. There's little in the way of explanation in the Wiley series and what they do explain you will have to struggle through. However, it all comes down to what you can afford. Most firms will pay for all your review expenses (as did mine), but if you have to pay for it yourself and you are short on funds you might want to just struggle through Wiley and save a thousand bucks.

I am currently studying for the CPA exam and I have found this book to be very helpful. I am using the books in conjunction with the Wiley software and I find it best to review the book material before doing the computer multiple choice. Excellent study material!
