I am looking for feedback with Wiley CPA Excel.

Is this review course good for slow learners? I have been out of school for 15 years and looking to finally finish this exam!

Is the program comprehensive enough to understand all the necessary concepts to pass the CPA exam?

Is it fun? I know its a lame question but I dont want a review course that has 45mins + videos with dry content.

Is the homework manageable?

Thanks,
CPA002

I too have been out of school for 15 years and working on tackling this exam.
I would suggest you take advantage of all the free samples each review course offers.
The material is going to be dry, if you need motivating and entertaining check out Roger.
I took the 2 week free trial from Wiley for FAR. The professor on the lectures seemed ok, not horrible… but its dry stuff.
The perks of the free trials is that you get to test them out, then they send you discounts.
I've also taken the trial for Gleim. I have yet to try Roger. That one is only 2 days so I want to wait for my final approval from the state board.

CPA 0002-

I have been out of school for 10 years. I have WIley CPA excel. EXTREMELY through books and questions.Very detailed books great for someone like me been out of school and need lots of details. Lectures are dry but somewhat good for a baseline.

I will have to say there are a lot of lessons and is very time conusuming if you go through every single aspect of the course. It can easily be 200 hours of studying if you go through everything maybe even 300 hours per PART . I find this course overall good for someone who is out of school for a while, but its time consuming.

I would pass on ROGER. I have that too. watered down book and lectures and guy talks so fast.

For me what works is to put in as many hours per day and condense the studying into no more than 6 weeks to 2 months MAX. Otherwise you forget stuff. I work FT so that is a challenge
