I have the 2009 FAR Wiley Book along with the 2009 Yaeger DVD lectures. How much changes are there going to be with FAR? Do I need to spend $400 on a new review package or will the purchase of the Wiley 2011 book suffice?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to retake FAR so badly and pass, but I don't know what materials I need.

I decided to get the Wiley 2011 book because I seriously doubt that the changes are THAT big. With sales tax, I got the book for a total of $42.12 at Borders since I had a 33% coupon. I took a quick glance at it and it’s almost identical to my 2009 book. They added a small section in the first module that talks about the basic differences between GAAP and IFRS. Then, there are about 10 multiple choice questions on it. From what I see, that’s the only addition I see in regards to IFRS. And there may be a slight change in one or two of the other modules. I’ll check tonight and see. So, I don’t see any reason to spend $400 on a whole new review course. As long as I go over my 2009 materials while taking extensive notes and also checking the 2011 Wiley book for updates, then I don’t see how I can do poorly on the exam.
