The cost for Gleim is $54.95 a section...once you pay for it they give you access to download it and it's a software program...it lets you create either a test session where you choose which sections you want & how many questions etc. and you take it as if it were an actual test...or you can do a study session where you set it up the same but as you answer questions it gives you immediate feedback if it's correct or not with detailed explanations (usually like a paragraph for each answer, either why it's wrong or right)...if you do the test session after it's graded you can create a study session with all the questions you missed/marked for review etc. and go through and get the correct answers and reasons. It tracks your performance as well, based on how well you do per section/subject. Overall, I find it to be pretty useful, especially if your solely looking for MCQ.

Hey Wengleha,
I don't see where you can purchase the downloadable software program. I see the cd-rom you can purchase. Can you show me where? Link?
Thanks

When you add it to your cart and proceed to checkout, you can select whether you want the CD shipped to you (with S&H) or if you want to download it and avoid shipping.

i felt the same way about becker...the video lectures are a really great product, its just when it comes to the MCQ's they are lacking. not only in volume but also, say for example you wanted to practice MCQ's on a specific topic you're weak in, outside of the 20 or so MCQ's for the HW, you cannot do it. that's why i got Gleim CD-ROM as a supplement..it allows you to practice 1,000's of MCQ's on specific topics of your choice. i think becker + gleim is a winning combo

I'm just afraid about questions that make you think outside the box, or any other variations that requires more than just the basic facts you studied to do the question. The answer would be to do a lot of practice questions on the things you studied so you get used to applying what you learned. You can never have enough questions to practice. It would also be too boring to just study something that you never applied to in real life or on a question.
