Wiley Question –

Is it me or is WTB harder than the actual exam? I took FAR and failed with a 60 in April. I have supplemented CPAExcel with WTB….WTB seem harder than even CPAExcel….

WTB feels like a baseball player warming up in the on-deck circle with a baseball donut….

FAR - 76
AUD - 75
BEC - 75
REG - 76

Now I need some experience!!! And some networking...

haha i like the analogy. Yea I used WTB and cpaexcel too and I think WTB is def. harder than cpaexcel.

BEC - 84, 4/6/13
AUD - 77, 5/28/13
REG - 83, 4/12/14
FAR - 83, 10/3/13

Ethics - 90% 4/24/13

150 unit education requirement met!
Work experience met!

I thought WTB was harder than actual FAR exam.

I'd say the questions were comparable for BEC & REG.

I hope the AUD questions are good enough to prepare me for my last exam!

Guess WTB is the best out there!

FAR: 81 (May 2013)
BEC: 81 (July 2013)
REG: 83 (August 2013)

I like the fact that WTB is slightly harder than the real exam – makes for great preparation. 🙂 If you warm up with a baseball donut, it makes hitting the real baseball much easier!

Agreed, great analogy! lol

I think the Wiley questions are harder than the exam for all exams except maybe audit. My audit exam was asking me questions I had to guess on even after lots of studying and practice with Wiley.

REG - 65, 70, 80!
BEC - 35, 62, 79!
AUD - 73, 75!
FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

I had to look up what a baseball donut was. lol Wiley TB can be more difficult than the exam, but like others have said it's great practice.

Nothing but love for Wiley TB. The sims in the Wiley books are different than in the TB. I rip the pages out of the book and make them PDF files. Takes an hour or two but worth it to make font larger and scroll to the answers quickly rather than flipping through pages thinner than tissue.
