Another71’s 40% for the Wiley testbank is at around $155 which is not bad. But the online testbank gives you access for only a full year for that price.

Whereas if you were to buy the actual cd product, the installed software does not expire after a year. But the CON is that it does not get updated for 2012 while the online version does.

Why did you guys choose the online version instead of the cd (similar price)?

It's 43 cents a day…go with the online version 🙂

Do you know if the 2011 Online version will update with new questions in 2012 or would you need to purchase the 2012 online version? Thanks.

Pretty sure it updates automatically.

2011 Online version switches over to 2012 when they release it…no worries there.

I have used both –I originally thought the online version would update content per new CSO and correct errors in the materials quickly. Not always the case, which is disappointing. But the CD has LOTS of typos & errors. Overall the online seems to be better. I don't know where else to get this many questions, but beware of the errors…

1. I just bought Wiley Online for all 4 as I did not know if I had past BEC yet or not when I bought it yesterday but it is still cheaper then the 3 individual.

2. Considering what I have already spent for the Becker REview and the Exam fees for all 4 sections really what is another $155

Especially if the only one I will haev to retake could be FAR.

If it is only good a year who cares my intention is to pass them within the next 3 months and if it helps me then don't have to worry about it expiring.

and the bonus of access online anywhere anytime (shhhh don't tell my boss) not installtion issues to worry about

I like the online version. I can practice during my lunch hour at work without having to install anything on my computer.

I like the online because I use several different computers throughout the day (at work and I have more than one computer at home depending on which the kids are using and why)

Besides in a year when the online does expire, chances are you aren't looking to replace all 4 sections, only maybe 1 or 2. and even though the CDROM version will still be available to you more than a year from now chances are it will not have kept up with changes to the exam.

I liked the online version better but only because I had access anywhere…
