I had written a long post expressing my thoughts on Yaeger’s Mid-year Update on my phone, but forgot to post it so it got deleted. So here’s a quick summary of that lost post:
$5, HAH. What a joke, Yaeger’s crappy update videos used to be and should still be free. Every CPA review company out there offers free updates/corrections for the year published, but not Yaeger.
If it’s the same quality as their previous updates, then NO THANKS. Their past updates are mostly unorganized and a big fat waste of time because it pretty much reiterates things previously said on the HS videos. They do these updates because preying on the fears of stressed and worried candidates has high profit margins, especially since their already hooked-in and can easily spam their email.
You could easily rationalize this purchase because $5 isn’t much seeing as you’ve already spent hundreds or over a thousand on Yaeger HS, but I ask you to think again. They used to give these videos away for free (and would almost never announce the updates via email list). I had FAR HS 2009 and watched the 2010 update. It was a huge waste of time. They basically speed through all the modules as quickly as possible. Rarely is any new information introduced that hasn’t already been stated in the HS videos. You’ll probably get a 2hour long video of Phil looking through the Wiley book saying something like this for each module, “do practice questions 1,2,3,4…..[long pause while paging through book]….. actual just do all the practice questions after the module……………[longer pause]………….. yeah, do all the questions for this module…………………….[longest pause]……………….. yeah don’t be lazy do them all for this module because it’s good practice.”
I’m saying no thanks to Yaeger’s generous offer because I shouldn’t need the update to pass. If your Homestudy videos are as good as you say, why the fuck do I need to pay more money 6 months later? Assholes….
Yaeger = Assholes, not you dear reader ;)
