What did you think of the midterm exam and final exam? Was it on par with the quizzes? I’ve primarily been reviewing the glossary for each chapter, all MCQs (some True/False), and slides on the book companion website. My midterm is Saturday, and I’m not sure what to expect, difficulty-wise.

Hey! I finished that course just last month. Midterm/final questions are on par / very similar to quiz questions. You may even see a few repeats from the quizzes! Overall it's pretty easy. Also, you only need an average 60% or so on the two exams to pass the class and get credits so … don't need to try all that hard haha

Thank you, xtz107! That's good to know. I think I'll be ready for the midterm Saturday, and I've got some confidence based on the information you provided.

Thanks!

I took it a couple of years ago, but it was the most fun and easiest class they offered. I don't think I studied for the midterms or finals at all.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, especially if you've reviewed the key terms and skimmed the book again. I studied a few hours before my midterm by looking at the condensed notes I took while reading the book and scored a 94. At that point, I realized I was trying way too hard for a class I only needed to pass and stopped taking notes and reading the book (only skimmed second half of the book). For the final, I didn't study at all, took a lot of guesses, and still scored >60%. A lot of the stuff covered second half are stuff you'll know from studying for cpa but a million times easier (controls, fraud risks in different transaction cycles).
