Time Management
It is very important to have time management will preparing for the CPA exam.
This 4 volumes set is much better than the other 2 volume set although they both contain the same material, this one has it in a more well organized way where the questions follow the outlines, some people might find it not that helpful but it really is.
In general the both sets are easy to use and handle, the advices are very much helpful, and the material is right to the point a thing that really saves your time.
As an advice you have to go through this set at least three times; the first time (2-3 hrs/day): Read then answer the questions try to do so within 3 months (prepare notecards and don't put any marks with the questions); the second time(2-3 hrs/day): Answer then read topics on your mistakes and review your notecards on othr subjects within 2 months; the third time (5-7 hrs/day): complete a whole module daily (order is not important but might be good) you have to pass all modules 90% at least. One last time is a 4-days approach where you go through a whole section every day.

This is the absolutely best exam review resource out there to help anyone tackle the CPA exam. I have reviewed many CPA Exam review products and have found the Wiley CPA Review to be the best, by far. The 4 volume approach helps me study for the exam in an organized fashion. Plus, in each of the books, the subjects are organized logically into modules, and in each module you will see outlines and detailed reviews of the subject matter, followed by multiple-choice, OOAF, and essay questions. There is complete with detailed answers and analysis to each and every question. These books have way more practice questions than any other CPA exam book that I have seen. I would also recommend Wiley's CPA Review Practice Software. It helps you practice thousands of questions (which I really needed!) to make sure you are ready for the big exam. Bottom line, if you are truly committed to passing this exam, you should buy this 4-volume set of CPA exam review books from Wiley. I am making excellent progress in my studies, and should be well prepared to pass in May with invaluable help from these resources.

Very Complete. Good Book.
Thanks to Wiley's CPA review, I passed ARE 85, FARE 84 and Audit 79, first try. (Failed on Business Law 72 but that was more due to lackluster studying than to the quality of the study material!)The books are very complete albeit somewhat slightly confusing at first. All aspects of the CPA program are covered, and, if you study these books thoroughly (material + multiple choice), you have a very good chance of passing the exam at the first try.
Make sure you understand the structure and the way each book is organized before you dig into it. I found the overall organization of the books to be confusing at first, and the content quality is definitely not constant from one book/one chapter to the other, which is why I would give a 4-star rating instead of a 5.
Also, I would highly recommend the Wiley's CPA Preparation Software. It speeds up your preparation greatly, and is a good way of avoiding the inevitable and endless page-flipping of book study.
Good luck!
