The Best Test P CLEP Financial Accounting w/ CD-ROM -The Best Test Prep for
I recently passed the Financial Accounting exam with a score of 66 after a couple weeks studying this book (I had one very basic Accounting class earlier, though, so I knew some of the stuff already). This book was a great study tool and I found that I didn’t need to study any other books on Accounting for the test… this book covered pretty much everything.
However, if you have never had any Accounting experience before, this book might be a bit confusing at first. For one thing, it used the VJE (Vertical Journal Entry) method, which I found to be quite confusing and not at all helpful when it came to the actual test. But at the end of each chapter, it does show the general journal entries, so I just studied those and it helped a lot.
For my advice, just study this book until you know your credits and debits, study every one of the chapters thoroughly, do ALL of the math in the practice questions, and know the important Accounting principles. Then you should be set to go.

I have taken four CLEP tests and this book was by far the best! It featured practice questions, flashcard prep, and great tips to beat the CLEP! Highly recommend.

I love REA books. I have passed many clep tests with them. This books is still worth buying, but this test is really hard and you might need a book that goes into more detail.

This book saved me about $4500 in tuition, not to mention the cost of textbooks. I needed to score a 57 to get credit for two accounting classes (9 hours worth of credit). After a couple of weeks of studying over winter break I nailed a 61! It has put me extremely close to graduation and saved me time as well. Great product and well worth the price. Just as a point of reference, I took accounting in college once many, many years ago and failed. Miserably. This book made it much easier for me.

I highly recommend this study guide. I studied for the financial accounting CLEP over the winter break using the REA prep book. I spent about 2-3 weeks reading a little every night, doing the practice questions, and reviewing concepts or whole chapters as necessary based on my practice results. I got a 61 and a 62 on the sample tests included with the book, and a 63 on the real test. I am planning to use REA to help me CLEP out of three more classes.
