You guys hit it on the head. I'm sure Phil Yaeger is a very nice guy with his unlimited help over the phone and emails, but he is the worst instructor I ever tolerated on video. Just like Redstorm said, Phil said “alright” so many times and he lost his train of thought so many times that it was too distracting to learn anything from him.
Then after he's done with his lecture, he'll say something to try and reassure you that you have nothing to worry about for exam time. He'll say something like, “just read this section over a few times and you'll be fine.” Yeah right Phil, when was the last time you took this absurd CPA exam? 1962?
Phil also said that the Sims won't be as long as the ones in the Wiley book for FAR. Well Phil you may be almost correct with that part, but the Sim difficulty is about twice as worse as the Wiley book and he never mentioned that part.
Cindy and Gary are actually very clear and concise. Cindy is a little too hyper and fast-talking for me. I literally had to rewind parts of her videos dozens of times just to figure out what she was trying to say. Cindy teaches like she's racing against a clock in her head and it ends up backfiring because she drops her notes and pens 100 times. Haste makes waste, you can't ever go as fast as you envision in your head. She should get off the caffeine pills before the videos.
