Thank you for your excellent study guide. I studied hard for about three days and I passed on the first try!!! No previous accounting experience...when I first attempted the Practice Test I thought I would never pass. I just kept studying the concepts you provided and then it began to sink in. The flash cards were very helpful as well.
Thank you very much...I just saved over $3,000. and an extra semester!! Sincerely -Jim R.
