I learned alot from the book which made it easier to take the exam.
It was a good course.
Simple and Great
I’ll preparing my self to appear in certificate exam soon.
I am in the process of completing this course. I find the material easy to dige, and the explanations and examples are clear and concise. Bookkeeping and accounting material is often a little confusing at fir, but this course provides such clear and easy explanations, that the concepts fall together easily.
Good – covers most standard situations
The Material is practical and you can dominate the subject very fast
It’s enough for job.
tough
The course material was informative and well paced.
Not completed. Bought this book for reference as needed.
I liked the material in this workbook. I do not like the typeface/font in this book. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about it makes it difficult to read.
Took this course a long time ago. I liked it, but could have used more exercises to practice
I took this course a few years ago, I liked it.
Really good review of adjusting entries which I learned in my first accounting class. I wish there were more problems at the end of each chapter for the 2 quizzes.
It’s very concisely written and detailed, though the knowledge is basic, the course helps to drill in basic accounting principles, which is what you need to be a good bookkeeper. I found the double quizzes at the end of each chapter to be extremely helpful, hopefully I will do well on my test that is scheduled for October 15. I am still going over the material until then, so hopefully the material is what I need to pass the exam.
This was a very good lesson, and helps to reinforce what you do know, and add knowledge on the things you are not real sure about
This was a great review, but I especially like the logic used in the explanations. I especially liked the quizzes for really reenforcing the material. This was a much more thorough and clearer presentation than the text from college.
I enjoyed this course.
Easy to understand. I really like the way these books are all broken down to easy to read chapters and then the reviews throughout the book.
Proper and related subjects
The book-material is easy to follow and informative. The quizs at the end of each chepters are helpful for taking the state tests.
Good training.
Extremely helpful book!
It was good
Complete entry calculations
Good review of what I learned in school.
This review book could have more examples in it.
This is a good reminder of basic accounting principles
Good textbook.
