5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it for the questions, June 29, 2007

By	Sylvania "Sylvania" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

I haven't yet received my scores, so I can't say whether I passed, but I can say that these really helped me focus my studies onto the questions I missed in the practice exams found in these books. I bought these books because I found the current program I was using (CPAExcel)really lacked enough questions to guage how I was doing and allow me to practice my skills repetitively. There were enough questions in these texts to aid in my understanding of the subject matter, plus I looked to some of the outlines to gain a clearer understaidng of some of the concepts. I mostly bought it for the questions and it was great for that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Everyone..., February 20, 2009

By	Chung Dynasty - See all my reviews

I think there are two types of candidates preparing for the CPA exam. Those who know are well prepared and do not need much reviewing.
Wiley CPA review program is for you if you fall under those well prepared.

As some people have mentioned elsewhere, the sample questions seem irrelevant or do not necessarily reflect the real MC questions very closely. Explanations are not very well organized and some sections are grossly inadequate. It feels like it was written by college professors who have their own philosophy about accounting and don't give a damn about whether their customers actually pass or not.

I can honestly say Gleim is right for me because I happened to fall under a category of candidates who need some extra help. If you know you need some extra help but cannot afford expensive programs like Becker then use Gleim. Their sample questions closely reflects the actual CPA questions and review sections are well organized and easier to follow. You might also want to check out other programs like Yaegar to suit your studying style or adaptability.
