    Wiley Question –

    Like:

    Can use my iPad

    Don’t like:

    1. Only 30 practice questions at one time.

    2. You can not re-due all questions you answered incorrectly, you can only answer incorrect questions from last practice session.

    3. Does not have option to see questions you answered wrong more than a certain amount of times.

    4. You can not manage your practice sessions.

    Conclusion:

    Will continue to use the old version as long as I can.

    FAR - 79 (05/31/2013)
    REG - 81 (10/20/2013)
    AUD - 77 (02/28/2014)
    BEC - 80 (05/15/2014)

    DONE!!!!!

    I think you can still view the one question at a time by using ‘exam mode' which doesn't list all questions on one page.

    1, Calculator: I've only tried the new TB Study Mode… where is the calculator? Old version used to have an easily accessible calculator in the toolbar, not seeing one now. :/

    2. Sensitivity of MCQs with new format-

    While the new format definitely functions easier and is faster, there have been multiple times I was just merely clicking my mouse in the screen, then it selected a question and I got it wrong. :/ And many times these are questions I wouldn't have gotten wrong, but because the screen is so sensitive to every click, if you get too close to an answer it will assume you are picking it- thus driving down my % correct.

    3. Lack of Session Managment:

    Adding onto #2 above, the fact that in many sessions I click 3-4 incorrect questions on accident (from accidental clicks on the screen while merely trying to operate the mouse), it drives down my % correct and is a false representation of how I'm really doing. In the case of a bad session like that, I'd like the option to Delete the session, or Include/Exclude from my overall progress like the old version.

    Please tell me there will be a fix to these soon and if not, let me know so I can continue my studies in the old version. Thanks!

    In the REG sims I can't insert a comma (it's erased as I type it) so the question is always marked as incorrect.

    My answer-50000

    Correct answer-50,000

    Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried several computers and had the same problem.

    My wife just started studying for the CPA exam and I feel very bad that she will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the old Wiley Test Bank.

    I compare the new WTB to Obama Care, if it isn't ready, why roll it out?

    If it does not have all the features of the old WTB plus new features why role it out?

    Do not take away, instead add…

    In essence what are you doing, fine you have some new features but you lose old important features. Basically the net effect of improvement is “zero”, in any case it is now worse…

    In my humble opinion the ONLY thing that was lacking with the old test bank was the ability to use on an iPad… (This opinion comes from a regular consumer who has been using the old test bank DAILY for about 2 years).

    BTW, I passed FAR, REG and AUD using the old WTB ONLY!!! I am certain I would have a harder time passing using the new test bank…

    My condolences to all new WTB users…(My wife included)
