5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, July 6, 2007

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2007-2008, Vol. 2: Problems and Solutions (Volume 2) (Paperback)

This really is a great product and I found both the volume and nature of the multiple choice questions to be outstanding. Before buying this book, I labored through the Becker course without good results. I take much of the blame for early failure, but this book cuts right to the chase. The Becker course has a lot of bells and whistles, but really, just get this book and work through the thousands of practice questions. It will never expire (unlike the Becker materials) and this book contains all of the same (exact same) questions as Becker's materials. Money well spent. Good luck to all, it is such a relief to be done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thousands of Practice Questions and Simulations, July 28, 2006

By 

Purplelabrador (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2006-2007, Vol. 2: Problems and Solutions, 33rd Edition (Paperback)

This book contains thousands of multiple choice questions and quite a few simulations. I am using it in addition to a Becker review course. It has some of the same questions as the Becker material (probably 30 percent), but there are many questions not included in Becker, and some of them have a very different focus and style. I think this makes the book worth the $60 price, just to fill in the gaps. If you are not using a review course, the Wiley reviews are also recommended, individually or in the four volume set.

1.0 out of 5 stars The 2 Vol is the replicate of the 4 vol bundle!!!, April 25, 2008

This review is from: Wiley CPA Examination Review 2007-2008, Vol. 2: Problems and Solutions (Volume 2) (Paperback)

I bought the 2 vol set with the 4 vol bundle with the thought that the 2 vol set is totally different. How wrong i am!!! It is exactly the duplicate of the 4 volume, the only difference is that the study outline and problems and solutions in the 4 vol set had been split into 2 volumes.

I have returned the 2 vol set to Amazon.Hopefully can get a refund.
