Hi Priya,

I'm planning to buy Bisk books and Gleim software as supplementary. Everybody on the forum says that Gleim text is too elaborate.

Bye!

The 2006Wiley edition is available only from Novemeber end…And the library over here has the 2004-05 2-volume set. Shall I go forward and buy the 2005 Wiley 4 volume set or shall for now use the 04-05 edition from library and purchase the 2006 book in December..

 

Does the 2004-05 worth it studying…Does it based on the computerized format or is it a waste looking into it?

Hi Priya,

The 2006 edition is coming in Nov end and so it can reach you not before Dec. If you have a habit of marking important points while you read, then go for purchasing the book because by Dec you'll have done the first reading of the number of topics. Its always good to read and revise from the same book. You can always get updates from internet. And moreover you'll be buying an additional book as a supplement. That will definitely be the latest edition.

The 04-05 edition would have come in June 2004 and by then CBT had started so it won't be a waste looking at.

All those,who are preparing for Jan Feb window, are using either the 2005 or the 2005-06 edition. So go ahead and get something and  start studying.

Good Luck!
