I mean he has a test bank and we all get different questions, so I don't know how much I would bank on listening to other students. Just study for yourself.

Has anyone taken the ACCT exam yet?

I see no advantage to taking the ACCT 701 exam today. There's no rush. I plan on taking it late in the week. Much better to wait for more feedback and take our time with the Module 4 info and sample exam, etc.

I haven't taken the Acct exam yet. I really wanted to take it this evening but I'm not rushing. I've made an extensive guide but still need to jot down some more example problems from the book. I wonder if it's all math or if he's got some simple definitions sprinkled in?

Winchester, I'm thinking I would have liked Cengage too, even with the extra cost.

I agree with both of you on Cengage. Some of this stuff has just been a refresher for me due to my undergrad and job, but the current assessment format isn't conducive to learning the material.

I just took the quiz and the practice exam. Quiz was easy. I definitely took more than 2 minutes on some of the 6 questions on the practice exam. However, if he has 6 questions on the exam identical in format to those 6 like he posted he would, then it should only take a few seconds now that I'm familiar with them. Was hoping the exam would be similar to the assessments, but the practice exam is nothing like them.

Yeah socal.

For Vines I would view the textbook as a supplement to the reading guide, not something that you should spend the majority of your time on. When I had his class I would just skim the textbook and focus on anything that overlapped with the reading guide. Make sure you can do the problems in the reading guide and the end of chapter problems he assigns and you should be well prepared. Using excel to build formulas also helps with time management on the tests.

Having had Vines for both 701 & 730, it is imperative that you focus, in my opinion, all of your reading on his reading guide. Not once did I ever read anything out of the books for either class, & I managed to get very high A's in both courses (I am not, & I reiterate, NOT a finance person, like, at all).

Read his guide, then read it again, & again, & again, read it until you're ready to take the exam... make time to go to all of his Zoom sessions, ask questions on what you don't understand, after he explains it, if you're still having trouble, ask him to break it down even further, he will. He'll tell you to take advantage of him & his expertise, as he says that he's a resource for you to use, so use him. Take notes during his sessions, he'll give you answers to some of the questions that will be on the test without realizing it sometimes. Anything that he would talk about, & give his definition as to what he thought something meant, I took note of it, & most times it showed up on the exam in some form or another.

Maybe I was lucky with my classmates as we had a lot of people attend the Zoom meetings & ask questions over & over again, until we all understood it. SoCal77 can verify this as we were in 701 at the same time. I'm sure a few others on here were too.

If you can't make it to the Zoom meetings, then watch the YouTube replays & email him. As others said, create an excel formula sheet, it will definitely help with the time on the test, I never used Excel a day in my life until this class, but I learned quickly. I still have my sheets (most are just plug & chug) so if anyone would like them for reference just send me your email & I'll forward them to you.

Thanks for the heads up Brent
