I have to say, the Wiley book is a beast at 1000+ pages. It's going to
take me quite some time to get through that sucker. Still, it does seem
to have a lot more depth than my Gleim text.

New to this forum, but just took the exam this afternoon. I'm happy to say that i walked out of there very confident. I also think that wiley is much harder, maybe because Wiley tricks you on every other questions. Never touched the Becker (too expensive), but Wiley/Bisk is sufficient to pass the exam. Studying for three months also helps. And during the last week of studying i did 10 Q&As for every chapters everyday. that's 150 * 7 Days. And it help me remember easy stuff, since i spent much of my time on complicated problems. Time wasn't also an issue. As someone here suggested, i tried to finish the first teslet in under 30 minutes, and was not rushed at all during the sims.

Hi Meghna

I must say Wiley is a good source for practicing questions and as a reference guide as it tends to provide lot more information than needed. As a result the time consumed just using Wiley is a lot. I used Bisk for my preparation and complemented it with Wiley. The Bisk software was much more user friendly and advanced than the Wiley's CD. I used Wiley book most of the time for simulations as they end up covering most of the content.

Hope you found the information useful. Let me know if you have more questions.

Bye
