My contention is that memorizing the rules and formulas is half the battle. I was sitting my car today on the way back to SBUX and though about how great it would be if they did the CPA as a one-to-one interview, where they simply asked you to explain concepts, or answer questions. I know much more than I can decipher from some of these MCQ's, if that makes any sense. I just listened to investments (NINJA Audio) in the car… okay, concept down. Still, the AICPA has 3 out of 10 questions I'd get dead wrong, because of wording.
I seem to recall one question from WTB where an incorrect use of semi-colon led me to believe a third share dividend was happening in June, when in fact they were beginning to present facts for October. It should not be in this way, IMO.
Error correction is so easy in principle, but when it comes down to a SIM (like that one in Becker), the DrCr's multiply exponentially.
