Let me start by saying this book saved me hours of rereading textbooks. Flipping through bulky materials before my CPA exam felt overwhelming, but drilling these 2,000 questions became my secret weapon. The variety is impressive—I’d be crunching depreciation formulas one minute and analyzing audit scenarios the next. That constant shift kept me engaged way longer than dry theory reviews.

But (and it’s a big BUT), some sections made me question if I’d accidentally bought a beta version. The BEC chapter had me double-checking answers against my calculator—and Google—because several solutions were just wrong. Imagine the panic when your practice book contradicts basic NPV calculations! Also, those weird ‘choose between Answer 1/2/Both/Neither’ formats? Not helpful when the actual exam gives four clear options.

Here’s how I used it effectively: I treated this as a supplement, not gospel. When a question seemed off, I’d flag it and cross-reference with my Wiley books. The cost savings over pricier options ($344 vs this? No contest) made tolerating its quirks worth it. Pro tip: Skip the bizarre ‘auditor should know company future plans’ type questions—they’re irrelevant to real GAAS standards.

Final verdict? A solid 7/10. It’s like having a study buddy who occasionally gives terrible advice—useful if you know when to ignore them.
