[Wiley CPA Exam Review]

Wiley Question –

We’re getting a lot of feedback on the new Test Bank. Here’s an update on new features, old features in new places and everything else about the new 2014 Test Bank (we’ll reply to new comments in the thread as we can):

1. The Test Bank does not mimic the actual Prometric CPA Exam.

You can access the interface that mimics the Prometric CPA Exam in two ways. One way is through the “Practice Questions”: you can create a session and choose either the “Study Mode” or “CPA Exam Mode” when you’re creating a study session. CPA Exam Mode is the one that replicates the Prometric interface. The second way to study using the Prometric Interface is by starting a “Practice Exam.” The “Practice Exam” replicates as close possible what you’ll experience on test day.

2. I don’t like having to scroll down in the practice session because it shows all MCQs.

Please use the Prometric interface by switching to “CPA Exam Mode” to prevent scrolling. By doing this, each question will show up one at a time.

3. Please show the two types of cumulative scores; cumulative score per section (Agency, Property Transaction, etc.) and the overall score (REG).

The overall score for the section is found on the Dashboard in the Current Progress widget. To review by section, click the “Review Tab” at the top of the page and navigating to progress reports and select “View Module Progress Report.”

4. There are some content issues with incorrect answers.

A content update will be published this week.

5. Users do not like the 30 question restriction on the practice test.

This has been corrected. Coming soon, you will have the ability to select Simulation questions in smaller quantities.

Please keep in mind that ALL users who had active access to the old Test Bank on 2/18/14 can continue to use it until June 1, 2014 (expiration dates were extended for all active sections i.e. if you had AUD Test Bank access expiring on 3/1 it was extended to 6/1).

In the meantime, we are continually updating our 2014 Test Bank FAQs here: https://efficientlearning.custhelp.com/app/answers/list/c/3540

Not only are some of the answers wrong, but there are an ungodly amount of grammatical errors.

In all the research SIMS for Regulation, the only authoritative literature available is the IRC, but there is no “IRC” choice in the drop-down when you try to enter the path of the answer.

FAR 66, 80
AUD 86
REG 76
BEC 74, 77 - DONE!!

Hi all – below are some questions/concerns brought up about the 2014 Test Bank this week. We have addressed each concern and will continually post updates as we receive them.

1. There are only 30 practice questions at one time.

This was resolved earlier this week. You can choose more practice questions now.

2. You cannot redo all questions you answered incorrectly, you can only answer incorrect questions from last practice session.

You can redo all questions you answered incorrectly. If you use the study filer, you can filter on all questions from all topics you have answered incorrectly.

3. The 2014 Wiley Test Bank does not have an option to see questions you answered wrong more than a certain amount of times.

This is correct and we have submitted this request to the WTB engineers.

4. You cannot manage your practice sessions.

This is correct and listed as a future update to the Test Bank.

5. I'm doing a practice research SIM for REG in the 2014 WTB. It allows me to search the IRC, and I've located the correct section, etc., but when I select the drop down menu to put “IRC” (as opposed to AU-C, etc.) there is no IRC available. I've never done any practice research SIMs for REG so I want to make sure I'm not missing something here. It seems like there should be an IRC option available, especially since that's the only literature it's allowing me to research.

This has been fixed and the correct research answer options for REG are now showing up.

6. I just started a REG practice quiz on the New Wiley Test Bank, and although the MCQ's seem to be presented competently, the SIMS seem to be the usually awkward formatting. For instance, one of the individual taxation SIMS is presented as a 1040 form with just the line #'s and no description per line. I do not think I need to memorize what each line # represents on the actual CPA exam. Also, you cannot use any keyword searches for the research questions. Does anybody know if this is their final product or are they still developing it?

The keyword searches is an enhancement we are currently working to add to the 2014 Test Bank.
