Wiley Question –

I was wondering if anyone that took the Far exam felt that the WTB was similar to the CPA exam. Is is way off or pretty close.

Everybody who has taken the exam promised to not answer your question. The test is hard so do as many MCQ you can.

The Wiley test bank is good, but I recommend using multiple test banks if you can. Focus on the explanations for the correct and incorrect responses. Good luck.

Everyone who took the exam promised not to release exam questions. I don't see anything wrong with answering rudy201's question. From my experience, questions in WTB are very similar to the questions on the real exam. And, yes, it's better to do questions from different test banks and understand why some answers are right and some are wrong.

I have access to the FAR testbank questions but I'm using Becker for my study materials. For the topics that I feel like I need extra help with, I go to the testbank and I've seen quite a few repeat questions from Becker to Wiley. I think Becker is right on the money when it comes to preparing you for the test with the MCQs that they provide, as well as passkeys, so if the Wiley MCQ questions are similar, then you can probably expect to be well prepared for the exam.

Also, I only used Wiley to study for REG and I walked out knowing I had passed the exam.

AUD: PASSED [81]; Expired, retaking August 23rd
BEC: PASSED [83]; Expired, retaking July 11th
REG: PASSED [83]
FAR: FAILED [64]; Retaking May 23rd

The WTB MCQ questions have a tendency to be very verbose and complex at times–even somewhat confusing in their wording. The CPA Exam MCQ questions are usually shorter and to the point.

Sometimes both can be similar in formatting and content. Best thing to do is to study as many MCQ's as possible because anything can be on the real test—even content that you didn't even consider.

I agree. WTB is wordier than the actual exam. They are trying to prepare you for anything. However, the WTB SIMS for FAR are so easy that I'm sure they are not a good representation of the exam SIMS, but I won't know until Saturday how they compare.

I don’t see a problem answering his question either. We are not revealing anything by answering this question. If you can get your hands on Becker’s final exams and score at least a 65 to 70, you should be ok the day of the exam. I think some of the questions from WTB go into much detail than Beckers, but some of Beckers questions are just harder than WTB. The exam questions are more like Beckers.

Thanks a lot guys. Yea I did not think answering my question was in some wait a violation. If that was the case then CPA reviews would not be allowed by people who passed the CPA. On another note I have noticed WTB does seem very wordy but it can be a good thing for learning purposes. Thanks for your replies guys.
