Does anyone have a solid way of tackling these? For some reason they’re giving me a ton a headache (and I haven’t even started cost accounting variances yet). I know the basic formulas fairly well but when it comes to actually applying them and solving a problem I just can’t. Honestly my plan right now it to simply read the answers and try to figure out how they were done, because trying to do them beforehand isn’t getting me anywhere. Obviously this isn’t ideal but I don’t know what else to do.

Also, for people that have taken the test and used these materials, how would you say the Ninja MCQ and Wiley book MCQ calcs compare in difficulty to the actual test?

Come on over to the BEC study group thread and you'll find many of us who feel the same way. I'm finding that the more MCQ I do, the more I learn the formulas and how to apply them. I used CPAexcel, basically wiley now, and I felt it has done me a bit of an injustice for this exam. The questions compared to Ninja are much easier hence the hard time I'm having in Ninja. But it's slowly sinking in the more questions I do. I would say memorize the formulas and do tons of MCQ till you're sick of them and then more of them. I've done about 500 in the last 2 days and will probably do about 1500-2000 before next Saturday. Good luck!

Felt the exact same way. The answer? MCQ MCQ MCQ over and over again.

But I haven't passed yet so…
