    Ok I’m going through the test bank from Wiley for BEC and there seem to be a ton of errors on these problems? Such as it will list numbers but not give you an actual question to answer or the correct answer explanation has labeling and mathematical errors… is anyone else encountering this?!

    Yo. I have seen a few questions where the correct answer response references a number/item/reference that isn't there. Very frustrating. I know how you feel. I just move on knowing that the MCQ is messed up. Are you working on BEC now? how's the overall studying going?

    hey JJM! Yes I'm doing BEC now – studying is… going. Was going to reschedule my exam for the 29th (found an opening, but the testing site is over an hour away) decided against it I just want to get this test over and done with! Those dang variance questions keep getting me! I haven't had my intermediate accounting class for awhile and sad thing is I used to be GOOD at these questions! I think the way Becker explains it is messing me up… oh well back to the books

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who has errors it is definitely frustrating!!!

    How's your studying going?

    Yep, tons of errors. Sometimes it doesn't even ask an actual question. Just states a few facts and then lists the answers. I've noticed math errors too. Unacceptable Wiley. Everything about 2012 is bad.

    Hi All, sorry to hear you're finding errors — if you can post the QUESTION ID and ERROR DESCRIPTION here we'll reward any confirmed errors with free Wiley review products — books, apps, or Test Bank sections, your choice.

    We know you're busy and have other things on your mind but if you do see an error and can post it — or email it to testbankfeedback@wiley.com we'll hook you up with free stuff.

    Fyi all the questions are checked every year and while there are always some there's no reason the number should be high. Sometimes we check reported errors and re-affirm the the answer but we're happy to check.

    @PistolPete- Gleim Test Prep has the same issue. I encountered a few questions that never had a question. It gave a sentence and then gave 4 choices. I'm like, what are they asking??? Very frustrating.

    I just did a practice set of 24 questions, found 2 errors. Not a good indication.

    RMCB – 0035 Incomplete question:

    Assume that Velmont Corp. is considering investing in a project with the following possible outcomes and related possibilities.

    a. 350,000

    b. 250,000

    c. 290,000

    d. 210,000

    ECON – 0010 Questions specifies Swiss francs, answer relates to French francs. (no big deal, I know)

    Smbundy – I would make sure your java is updated…I would maybe try a different browser (Firefox?) as well.

    I thought I was the only one not liking the 2012 Wiley test bank. I don't understand why there are so many errors and the explanations or correct answers don't pop up during a practice session. I went back to use the 2011 Wiley test bank. It's helped me so far so I might as well stick with it.

    FYI, I was using an updated version of Firefox and still got a bunch for formatting errors on the 2012 test bank.

    Yeah, I am calling bs on the Wiley Test Bank user above….I emailed at the address they provided and gave them the exact specifics on the question I found that was incomplete (there are others with errors that I could provide) but they never responded.

    Don't fall for the nonsense, they will correct the question but will not give you anything for the effort of helping them make their product better.

    Easy…Easy.

    I work a lot with the Wiley person on here and when they say they will give you something for you're help – they will.
