BEWARE of CPAReview material at Bisk/Thomson Reuters!!!!! The sales person that sold me my Bisk/Thomson Reuters material knew I’d be doing this over a course of 18 months, and talked me into buying all my material for all 4 sections at once (textbook, software, audio guides). APPARENTLY, material is only good for 7 months! Now I’m taking Regulation, my LAST exam, and my software won’t work or activate and they won’t help me because its ‘old’, they just try to sell me new material. AND they don’t even have record of me being a customer. HORRIBLE! I’ve compared my material to Gleim, Gleim textbooks are layed out better and are WAY easier to understand. DO NOT BUY BISK/Thomson Reuters!

Update: NINJA has purchased Bisk from Thomson/Reuters: https://www.ninjacpareview.com/plus/

Thanks for the heads up!

From what I have read Bisk is behind the times and not good at marketing their CPA review course. So you had bought Gleim for your last section, REG? Good luck!

Someone called me today from that company wanting me to take a look at their products. The guy was pretty persistent, but I told him I didn't have the time for a walk through. He asked if he could call me next month. I am going to block his number because I know he will not stop calling me.

Thanks for the heads up.

It begins with a 75

I bought the BISK CPA Review books years ago and they were terrible. They were not a thorough as Wiley's were and because of that made it more confusing when using them.

@skynet Bob Monette's hair is reason enough to go with this couse 🙂

What? A salesperson more focused on a bigger commission than the best interest of a customer? Blasphemy. You should always assume a salesperson has your best interest in mind and agree to all of their suggestions without doing a shred of reserach before you drop that kind of money. LOL!

Skynet is the man…leave him be. Ha. I thought Bisk all but obsolete at this point? I think people should stick to the primary review courses at this point…too much money to waste on a worthless product. Becker, CPAExcel, Roger, Yaeger, and of course, Ninja…

Sorry about the serious comments guys. It only happens when I'm drunk.

[golfball7773]

@skynet – can you please give advice on how to study while not-sober? It would make AUD much better

Place pages of AUD in a cup. Add 1 part Coke and 2 parts Vodka. Drink. Repeat.

[Last Chance CPA]

Wait. Can you mix coke and vodka?

Why not OJ and vodka? At least OJ is somewhat healthy
