    Or both?
    For the CPA exam I used Gleim and Ninja together and it worked fine.
    Thanks.

    I used gleim and passed all 3 sections on my first try. The iia system has way too much information and gleim breaks it down just right.

    Don't know about IIAA, but I would say definitely use Gleim

    Having attended events and talked with people who work for IIAA, I'd almost say go with them. I looked at Gleim, and have their four 2015 textbooks for CPA. I saw that a *lot* of topics got very “stuffy” explanations i.e., not dumbed down enough or explained in a clear and simple way. The price they offered was really good – $999 for unlimited usage, including a guidance counselor! But, I ended up going with Roger instead. I am going to take the CIA sometime in the future, after I get done with CPA (or maybe before, if I don't end up finishing as soon as planned.)

    Thanks everyone.

    I will probably go with Gleim as the first course and IIAA as the secondary, especially if I can get it at a discounted rate. Since I passed the CPA, my company will cover my IIAA membership.
