Hi 4dkids,

I didn't use either one of the resources you mentioned above, but I DID use the book recommended: Foundations of Financial Management 11 by Block, Stanley B. / Hirt, Geoffrey A.; McGraw Hill, 2005; ISBN 9780072977929.

Also, did you try some of the resources mentioned in the Specific Exam Feedback section? Here are some of the ones listed:

Chairman's Greeting

Foundations of Financial Management*|*e-Learning Session

Bloomberg.com: Financial Glossary

TeachMeFinance.com

UnderstandFinance - Easy-To-Understand Finance Tutorials

Finance

Finance

Small Business Administration

studyfinance.com - The University of Arizona Students of Finance

http://www.tesc.edu/catalog/tecep_desc/FIN-301.pdf

The Investment Dictionary - InvestorsEdge.com, Giving Investors The Edge!

Definition of Financial Terms

GCSAA - Member Central - Glossary of financial terms

studyfinance.com - Lecture: Time Value of Money

I hope that helps!

P.S. Also, if you want to PM me your e-mail address, I can send you some additional study notes I used.

My test center gave me the option to take this July 26 or 3rd week in Aug. when the Dantes proctor returns. I'm shooting for July. I would use Foundations of Financial Management, but have no time to aquire it. I do plan on doing their practice tests offered on line. My concern with all the resources that I have is that I will get some info here, some there and miss something in the mix. For those who have taken Principles of Finance; what was your MOST USEFUL sites/ resources. Thank you in advance for your input.:o
