The course provided fundamental information, however the textbook was dry and one dimensional. A complementary workbook and/or a video/cd lecture would have been a great enhancement. This would allow for listening to the material then reading it, then working the problems.

Presentation of material was exact and very useful.
I completed this course for the first time but I have a lot of re-learning to do before I submit my final exam for grading.
Two previously items have now been removed from my to-do list providing more time to study.
The new study schedule begins today.
My over-all impression is I wish I had this course to study bookkeeping/accounting years ago. I am looking forward to completing the other segments of the certified bookkeeping program.

I recommend that you take notes as you read the book and do the practice tests 2-3 times if necessary to make sure you know the material and what needs to be done to answer the questions correctly on the final exam.

I am not sure about the rating. I did not do well on the test. I definitely need to re-read the text again. If you can sent me the correct answers to this test, it would be very helpful. My email is yuanhhhh@hotmail.com

The test asked questions mostly not in the Practice sessions; Plus the time factor was not enough to answer the Questions ; failed twice , hope things would get better

It was simple and moved quickly. I have never been a fan of standardized testing, though, because I always have questions about the questions.
