The Wiley software would be better for reviewing. The questions in both the book and the software overlap in some areas and there is about the same amount of questions in total. You would also be able to do questions more quickly than in the book. Also if you need a deeper explanation than the answer to the question, you can click on a notes tab and read about it. The only problem with the software though is there is no way to do random questions without doing the exam mode, and in exam mode you do not get instant feedback on the question as to whether our answer is right or wrong.

 

Thanks for your response. I see that you use Gleim software as well, which one is better - Gleim or Wiley for final review.

I really liked Gleim for the other three sections but not so much for FAR. Gleim creates there own questions instead of recycling released AICPA questions, and what they do is use a scenario, almost like a sim, and ask several questions from it. These are usually more difficult than actual test questions and are not presented the same as you would see on the test. I think this did a good job to prepare me for the other exams, but on reviewing for FAR it was just to much when all you are trying to do is answer as many MC questions as you can to review and lock stuff in.
