1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed...., January 3, 2004

By	C. Blake (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cpa Exam: An Introduction to the Computer Based Exam, Test Taking Tips, and Past Examination Questions With Solutions (Lambers CPA Review) (Paperback)

This book was one of the only books available for purchase with updated information for the new 2004 Computerized CPA exam when I purchased it in mid-December. (The new Wiley books weren't available until the end of December)

The book gives NO significant information about the new exam, except for the breakdown of the new sections (which you can find on the AICPA's website for free). The book reports to have examples of the new simulations; however I didn't find it useful at all. There is a demo of the new exam available on the AICPA's website that gives examples of the new simulations and it appears that much work will be done in spreadsheets, etc. This book doesn't even mention this fact and doesn't show screenshots of a spreadsheet.

Overall, I was VERY disappointed in this book. Lambers CPA Review has a good reputation, so I made the purchase thinking that I would be getting a great reference guide to the new exam. My recommendation to others would be to not waste your money on this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars good introduction, January 5, 2004

This review is from: The Cpa Exam: An Introduction to the Computer Based Exam, Test Taking Tips, and Past Examination Questions With Solutions (Lambers CPA Review) (Paperback)

Don't forget to study hard for the CBT and don't get spooked by the simulations. If you know your accounting and you use the computer in your work, it's not a big deal. The key to success will always be how well you prepared for everything. This book brings the whole process into focus and helps get you started on the right track. It was helpful looking at practice questions from each of the four parts and the solutions are detailed.
