I am currently getting 50-60% and I have read the Wiley chapters like crazy. I am thoroughly convinced the people who write the questions do not read the chapters in the outlines.

yeah, I have the 14.0 software.  It's definitely glitchy and I could never get it to run on Windows Vista. 


I had the same problem, when I called Wiley customer service, they went through a series of steps to make it run on Vista, they sent me a detailed email, however I am not a computer person. I called them back and a customer service rep was with me on the phone while I was doing their steps :) and it started working after !

Thanks...I think I'll call then.  I got in to run successfully on our other computer with an XP operating system fine, but I'd rather use the other computer :)  The software is nice because the Wiley books are so big!  At least for FAR, I thought the questions in the software were comparable to the questions in the book.

Wiley is a great text and if you can get to where you are answering them say in the 80% range, I think you will be in great shape exam day :)  Now I can't speak for trying the Wiley questions with just reading the Wiley book, but in conjunction with the Yaeger homestudy, I was able to score anywhere from 75% - 90% in the modules for FAR.  Now for BEC, I didn't track my scores as much, did the Yaeger homestudy and Wiley for that as well.
