Coolio,

My impression: The frmquizzer page looks like something created by an
individual who may or may not know what material is required, etc. There is
nothing on the page to qualify the author, and you might be getting nothing
more than a bunch of questions that some student copied out of a couple of
books. (Even worse, they may have copied and then reworded the questions to
make them look original!!!) The low price for the subscription service
should be a warning sign. Had the author spent significant time on the site,
I imagine he would have to charge a lot more.

There are a number of web sites that offer study guides and whatnot for the
CPA exams, the bar exams, etc. My impression is that there are a lot of
individuals who see opportunity in terms of the number of people who need to
take these tests, and these 'entrepreneurs' may not have the work ethics,
the technical knowledge or the business skills to make their inexpensive
study programs work.

Contact the frmquizzer company directly and ask them for references from
people who have used their subscription study service and then taken the
test. I haven't used the frmquizer site myself, and it is possible that you
have uncovered something that may be of great value to you.

I took a look at the GARP page. They offer a number of courses throughout
the world and they even have a page setup that lists out software and so
forth. I suggest you take a hard look at what they have to offer. Yes, its
probably more expensive, but this frmquiz place is an unknown and you might
end up losing a lot of your time.


Good Luck!

Mike
