    Hi everyone,

    If you used or are using Wiley. What do you do when you get a low score (56) in the assessment after each session or the bigger one after a chapter. Do you just continue and it shows the assignment as incomplete or you go back until you understand every detail and can answer the questions correctly?

    Thank You in advance.

    I use Wiley. You're going to get that score a lot, many MCQs have nothing to do with topic you just learned, but they will cover it later. I like to watch all the lectures first and then I would start everything again and try to figure out why my answer is right or wrong.

    Thank You AndreA, so were your lessons showing incomplete? I don't see any point is doing the ones I got wrong because I just saw the right answers. Trying to figure out what is the best way to do it staying in the schedule.

    I definitely got frustrated with the questions because I would watch a lecture or video and the the next lesson would cover the questions in the test bank. So I would fail the test bank questions but pass the assessment. If the topics relate to each other. Like Bonds for example, I would watch all those lectures together and then go back and answer the questions. I struggled a lot with how Wiley covered diluted EPS. Ninja does a much better job of explaining it in the plus videos. So If I watch the lecture, read, and then keep failing I go look for another source to help explain it in a different way.

    I passed AUD with wiley only 77
    BEC with Wiley & Ninja 76

    FAR Wiley only 72 & 63 (first test failed and didnt handle failing well obviously lol) Retook FAR and waiting on Feb release date (wiley & Ninja)
    REG Wiley & Ninja 71 (Failed after a car accident had some issues going on) Scheduled for end of February.

    Yes, I would redo them during my final review. It's very difficult to understand everything if you cover the material only ones, I would recommend you to try to cover the material twice, it helps a lot, especially with FAR and study well Goverm. Accounting.

    I passed all 4 exams using Wiley exclusively. My experience was that I would consistently get about 10 points less on the Wiley exams than on the actual exams. Not sure if that was Wiley making some of their own questions harder or what.

    “Not sure if that was Wiley making some of their own questions harder or what.”

    Actual MCQ I saw just yesterday:

    “If a company that is not a public business entity wants to apply the simplified hedge accounting approach to a cash flow hedge of a variable rate borrowing with a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap, which of the following is a condition that must be met?”

    Wiley TOTALLY makes their questions way too difficult. The exam's difficulty lies in its broad range of topics, not how deep or complex it gets on some topics. In 4 exams, I've NEVER seen anything this insane. Usually, the MCQ writers are actually not bad at keeping their questions succinct and not overly wordy or sloppy or just plain stupid.

    Wish I could say the same for the Sims…
