It is very easy of understand.
I am studying for the Adjusting Entries and Correction of Accounting Errors section of the CB exam. I find the study guides clear and easy to understand.
Instructions were clear. Very helpful and a good guide.
Completed this and found it helpful in my day to day operations. Need to review and prepare for test after completing correction of accounting errors.
Very informative.
Easy to understand and prepared your for the exam.
I have just done one volume, but I am very satisfied at this point. I will be ordering the next book in the series next month.
Well written, easy to follow and attention grabber. The examples are written in layman terms, so the ‘logic’ behind the correct answer is understood. NEGATIVES: Theres lots/loads of assumption(s) made by the writer(s) regarding the reader(s) prior understanding/experiences.
I loved it as a matter of face I am attending the Phoenix college taking the complete course in Arizona,
Very thorough material. After completing the book and taking the practice tests several times I felt confident with the material and passed the exam with no problem.
Easy to follow and understand. Only took a few hours to complete.
It’s very helpful and it really refreshed my knowledge in bookkeeping and I even learned more.
I was interested in learning bookkeeping but the course level was directed at people who already have some exposure or experience in the field. Thanks for taking the time to follow up.
The greatest
Easy to understand!
Very informative.
The workbook was very thorough and I made sure to go over the material a couple of times before taking the test. Some of the test questions were worded in a confusing way so I didn’t do as well as I thought.
This section added a better balance to my understanding of adjusting entries. I appreciated this section, in helping me to “fill in some gaps” for making my journal entries.
Good!
its perfect
The book/course was extremely thorough.
Excellent
very easy to read and broken up in short chapters so it’s easy to do one at a time and get through the book more quickly
It was very easy to follow the concepts presented. If I did make an error in my calculations I reviewed that section again to see what I missed or omitted. I am flying through the material and I love the quizzes at the end of each section. I am doing extremely well on them.
The practice exercises and final examination helped my confidence and preparation for taking the Certified Bookkeeper Exam Parts One and Two in Augu, 2013.
Explanations were very easy to understand. Very well written. The Quizzes were very helpful.
Easy to read and follow.
Easy to understand. Well explained. As for questions, other than multiple questions, I would like to see problems that are close to real life bookkeeping, even though that might be challenging. Many people who are taking this course are those who are struggling to get a real bookkeeping job. So, it would be nice if the materials provide more real life assignments.
The course is very understandable and the exercises as well, the complexity of the subject is so well explained that encouraged me to apply for the certification. The only thing I would add is an update on the actual systems as many people use more accounting software to follow up the accounting it would be important to have an update on that.
Good!
