Fundamental Payroll Certification Exam Flashcard Study System: FPC Test Practice Questions & Review for the Fundamental Payroll Certification Exam (Cards)

I bought these to help me prepare for the FPC exam and so far I am loving them! I haven't taken the exam yet but cover so much material I have no doubt they will be very beneficial! Would highly recommend!

I can see the logic in the flashcard system that was created for the FPC exam. They want to make sure you fully understand the question/topic. THAT is why i give it 3 stars instead of 2. But honestly, the amount of information on these flashcards is extremely overwhelming given the exam is multiple choice. I would highly recommend either making your own flashcards based off of specific criteria on the exam, or a company should make a flashcard system that is multiple choice like the exam. I cant imagine that I would ever know everything on these cards, off of the top of my head. Kudos to you if you do, but i doubt it.

I really like that there are a ton of cards to study from. It would have been nice if the cards were laminated (and still perforated; which is nice). There are plenty of cards to share among others.

There is alot of unknown for me in taking the FPC exam. As I go through both the study guide and the flash cards, (as well as learning the Leitner Method of Studying Flashcards, I have alot more hope that I can do well on the exam.

Great product!! Definitely going to help set me up for success! Just wish the print was larger!

These note cards are absolutely worthless for the following reasons:1) Note cards typically contain brief and digestible amounts of information so you can read the prompt, answer the question in your head, and then flip the card over to check your answer in order to consume information quickly. Almost every single card's explanations n to the prompt is more than 4 sentences, and appears to be copy and pasted from a textbook, rather than edited to correctly answer the prompt.2) Typos. SO MANY TYPOS. When you're learning something technical like IRS forms, it's really important for the source material to use precise language. Aside from the awkward and excessive wording of each card, I found multiple instances where a word was misspelled and completely changed the meaning of the entire answer.3) The cards do not prepare you to retain information in the format you will be expected to give it on the test. The FPC exam uses situational premises for its questions (e.g. "This employee earns $X per pay period, will receive a bonus of $X and has Y allowances, what are her net wages?") but the information on these notecards are so poorly edited and phrased the information you retain is hardly applicable.I budgeted 8 weeks to study for the FPC at 1.5 hours per day. I used these cards for 6 of those weeks. When I took a practice test, I got 25/75 questions correct. For the next week, I used the APA's study book (provided to me for free by my employer) and in that time was able to raise my practice test score (a different version of the practice test) by 35 questions.I wouldn't recommend these cards under any circumstance whatsoever. Even if the APA material is too expensive for you, don't buy theee cards, they're a waste of time.

I used these cards to prep for my FPC certification last year. I wasn't sure at first, but the reviews convinced me. Now I see why...I LOVED using these cards. Very effective and informative method of study. I did as the instructions suggested, making three piles and narrowing them down. I am 100% certain that these cards contributed to me passing the exam the first time. Highly recommended. 5-stars!

Flashcards are great and make it excellent way to study while taking course for exam. I find it helpful to review them instead of carrying a book. These are great tools.
