Wiley CPA Examination Review Focus Notes, Business Environment and Concepts (Wiley Focus Notes)

Rating:
Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: These focus notes are a wonderful tool. There are two major reasons why I suggest buying them.

1) It will save you from writing your own flashcards (which would take a whole lot of hours to do (probably many many days)

2) It beats flashcards. I have purchased flashcards before, and the Focus Notes are much better. You tend to get flash cards out of order...or you may lose some of them. The flashcards I bought did not have many examples, just definitions. The focus notes have definitions and examples.

The only caveat. If you are using Becker, I'd buy their flashcards, because they are geared towards their materials. And their materials are excellent, even though expensive. Probably worth it if you have the money.

The Focus Notes correspond to modules in the Wiley Books. However I am using them with Bisk. I just found the chapters in my Bisk books that correspond to the pages in the Focus Notes. It took a few hours to do this, but it wasn't a big deal. Hope this review helps other CPA candidates.
