Hello…
I wonder if diagnostic tests are worth it? I know they should help with getting familiar with the topics and seeing how well we understand it before we dive into reviewing it, but I really don’t know anything and I feel really stupid and I get really hung up and get stuck on them thinking I should know it, trying to remember, and waste a lot of time…but I am realizing that it is just a matter of reviewing the material and learning it again…I find they are such a pain. I use Wiley. Should I just skip them and do them after I learned the stuff? Would make more sense…what is with all these diagnostics anyways?? Surgent loves those too. I just want to increaes my chances of passing and if struggling with diagnostics, no matter how bad I do on them, if that in the end makes me understand the material better, then I’ll keep struggling with them…and try my best to answer questions that I have no idea how to approach.

I use Wiley as well. I don’t bother doing diagnostic test before material. I do it after just for the sake of completing it.

I used Wiley as a review program, but I had already learned the material with Becker. I think you should do it after you've learned the material; otherwise, you're gonna feel lost and discouraged. I hope this helps 🙂

Thanks, Do you guys watch all the videos? What is your strategy with Wiley?

@BrightLight As a wiley user mostly i dont watch videos. I just read the text, take notes and go straight to MC. But there are few lessons videos might be really helpful. For example accrual accounting, Cash flows indirect method to name a few. But for the most part i focus on text and occasionally might refer to the videos if text is not clear.
