Good Practice Book
This is a great book for practicing topics that will be potentially on the test. The explanations for each of the answers really helps the candidate study the questions. HOWEVER, its worth noting that this practice booklet only tests knowledge for the multiple choice section. This book does NOT review the task based simulations on the exam. So its imperative that any candidate buying this book also accompany this book with a review book from either Wiley or Becker to get a comprehensive set of study & practice materials.This review books gets a big fat star deduction for the number of errors in the book. Did someone at McGraw-Hill not properly edit this edition?? There are a couple of questions in the book that have correct explanations, but the letter corresponding to the correct answer is wrong. I saw another question that had the multiple choice answers with dollar signs, but the answer had nothing to do with money. And then one question in the EPS section was missing pertinent information that was shown in the explanation of the answer. These errors won't diminish the study/review, but they're pretty egregious and get annoying.

I suggest Wiley & Becker for better questions & explanations
Not all the answers are correct! Be careful, the explanation will explain it correctly but the letter choice will be wrong. Found that on a couple of the questions. Need to contact McGraw Hill as I'm surprised this has been the case. I suggest Wiley & Becker for better questions & explanations.

Recommended study aid
Great little book for studying on the go. I used it to quiz myself right after learning new material and it helped reinforce the concepts.

Transposition errors? In a final version? Seriously??
I tried to find an errata on their website and could not. While this is certainly a cheap way to get lots of practice questions, I don't trust this book anymore, which has me doing research on every question that I get "wrong". Some are pretty obvious, for exampleQuestion 112 states the answer is A) $50,000 but $50,000 was next to B in the question.Question 237 jumps from talking about year 13 then asks about year 1, which it told you nothing about.Question 259 credits a partner's capital account and increases it, then debits another partners capital account and it increases that too.The one for BEC was so good. I am very disappointed. This product is not up to professional standards.

Great Supplement, Not a Substitute for a Course
This is a great supplement to your CPA review course. I used this book after I had done my FAR Becker course, about a week before my exam. I went through the entire book as reassurance that I understood the topics (do as many MCs as you possibly can before the exam!). Have caution, however, because this book isn’t updated and some concepts asked in it have changed (i.e. extraordinary items, some NFP topics, etc.) so make sure you are very familiar with the topics before you use this book so you are able to know what is outdated material. There are probably only a few, however, so this book was still very helpful for me. I passed FAR because I had confidence that there wasn’t a topic being tested that I wasn’t familiar with, and this book helped reinforce my confidence.
