Hello everyone,

I just purchased a T-Mobile Samsung T679 Exhibit II 4G Prepaid Android Smartphone and I want you guys feedback on whether this phone is ok to download Jeff Ninja notes and if the Wiley online testbank will work on it. Also wanted to know if the videos can be downloaded on it as well. I am using Bisk for Audit but intend to purchase Rogers for BEC for April/May testing window. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't have that phone, but I do have an Andriod and I look at my Ninja notes on it all the time. I haven't tried the online test bank but let me know if that works! and I use Yaeger so I'm not sure about that, I know I can transfer them to my phone, but it takes up sooo much space for just one of my cds so I don't worry about it.

I would suggest getting the wiley app for your phone - it is designed to fit the screen unlike the wiley online test bank. you can get wiley test bank on there, but it would just be through the web application - you will need a magnifying glass to see it. I have the app and love it.

I shd get the phone by Monday so I will let you know if the Ninja notes etc. can be downloaded on it and if they work.

@jsblamer

How much does the phone app for Audit cost? Depending on cost i will see if i can afford to purchase it.

I sit for Audit (2 attempt) on february and have to pass this time too much $$$$ down the drain and nothing to show for it.

Thank you all for responding this forum is awesome. Love it.

I have the app on my iphone. I love it!! The app is a testbank but not the same testbank as online. The online Wiley testbank is extremely hard to use on the iphone so I purchased the app.

@jomarie,

The phone is a android from the T-mobile network so i hope it work for the apps. The only reason i got a smart phone is because of this purpose (to download my cpa stuff on) so if it is not adaptive i am gonna send it back. Its much cheaper than a iphone though, so keeping my fingers cross.

Is the cost for the audit $59.99 or $39.99?

I already have the wiley online testbank but sometimes I am not at the computer and have to be walking with the textbook if i want to practice some questions from the testbank. Plus i have twin boys ( 4 years) and as soon as i take up my computer they come shower me with hugs and kisses because they want my computer to watch power rangers, johnny test etc on netflix on my laptop. Most of the times they use it more than me and i have to make do with my text or my note books.

I usually read all your post about your journey and your girls and it reminds me of my struggles with my studies and my kids.

Wish u all the best of your exams and will be hear to hear the good news when u all done.

I sit for audit on February 9 and working to pass this time around to move on.

Happy sunday.

The testbank is 59.99 and the focus notes are 39.99. That's for the iphone. I don't see how it would be any different for android. I bought the iphone for the same exact purpose. I have the focus notes for FAR, the testbank for FAR, Jeff's NINJA notes, and Yaegar's Audio lectures. Also I go on here with my phone.

Wow!! I couldn't do that!! But everyone's different. I get up at 5am most mornings, study for for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, then get my girls and myself ready for work. Then I study during lunch, but with the office getting busier I may have to give that time up. Finally I study after my girls go to bed at night till I drop, which usually is at 11pm. So during the week I usually get in anywhere from 3 to 5 hours of studying in per day. Today I'll be closer to the 3 hour mark since I slept in.

Hello you all,

Finally got my phone today.

The first thing i did after setting up email and stuff is to try to download the ninja notes from my email to the phone. Disappointment, dissapointment it is not working. Getting an error message about " This certificate is not from a trustworthy authority". Anybody have any idea WTF is that. HELP.

My second option IMO is the buy a scandisk to save it on from my laptop and then insert it in the phone. I will do that tomorrow see if it works.

@jomarie, what are you thoughts let me know.

If anyone has any idea how i get around this error let me know please. Thanks a million.

Good news, i downloaded Jeff audit reports video from facebook and it is working great.

I'm not sure. I actually found out from this site how to download the Ninja notes onto my iPhone. I read it through iBooks. See if there's something like that in the android market.

Hi you all, how u doing?

Update is : i downloaded the ninja notes on my phone after trying a couple times and the Audit reports video jeff made.

Did not get to purchase the yaeder audio based on the fact that i am financially depraved right now.

Working on doing my review, which is reading over my notes and doing MCQs from the test banks to get the magic 75 on Audit on Feb 9.

Continue studying.
