    Wiley Question –

    Has anyone used the spreadsheet tool. Does this work just like a regular excel spreadsheet and is it similar to the spreadsheet tool on the actual exam?

    I found it to be clunky when trying to do practice sims. I just tried to take away whether or not I was understanding the concepts and getting to the correct answers. The CPAExcel spreadsheets and practice sims can be fickle in giving credit for answers (same with WTB). Reviewing the answers and knowing if you got them correct is the most important thing. Sometimes you'll get something wrong on a practice sim due to a sign being changed or something silly like that. The actual exam is much clearer about how answers should be entered and doesn't do things like penalize you for putting entries in a different order than the answer sheet.

    Thank you guitarsalad! It is very particular when it comes to dates like 01/01/x1 is not accepted unless you type in 01/01 year 1.

    Good to know!
