New Wiley Test Bank—Is this still in Beta?

    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?

    FAR 82
    BEC 82
    AUD 93
    REG 87

    I sure hope it is. It's not that great. The old WTB is much better.

    AUD: Pass (WTB)
    BEC: Pass (Ninja/Becker)
    REG: Pass (WTB)
    FAR: Pass!!! (Becker/WTB/Ninja)

    DONE!! 🙂 It's SO nice to be able to finally write this. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

    @Jasper, thank you for your feedback about the WTB. Please note that the keyword search is an enhancement we are currently working on to add to the 2014 Test Bank.

    In the meantime, you can see the most recent changes/updates we make to the Test Bank posted to this thread: https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/everything-you-need-to-know-about-2014-wiley-test-bank

    I have relied only on WTB, Wiley Book, and Ninja Audio for every section.

    After recently going through every single FAR TB question in about four days, I found so many issues including several “correct” responses that were incorrect, questions with answer choices duplicated verbatim, and even an issue when I selected the correct answer and the explanation noted that it was correct, but the background was red instead of green.

    Since then, I have been unsure about re-purchasing for my lost AUD credit so I signed up for the “24 hour trial.” I answered 30 random questions and all was working well. Since then, every time I start a new study session under practice questions, the timer doesn't start and the program doesn't keep track of my correct/incorrect responses. When I get to the end, there is no option to finish, only to pause or restart. This is getting kind of ridiculous…

    AUD - 84 - 5/31/12 (lost credit), re-take 5/28/14
    REG - 83 - 12/7/12
    BEC - 80 - 2/27/13
    FAR - 69 - 11/30/13, 80 - 2/28/14
