The finite-range adiabatic wave approximation (ADWA) provides a practical method to analyze (d, p) or (p, d) reactions; however, until now the level of accuracy obtained in the description of the reaction dynamics has not been determined. In this work, we perform a systematic comparison between the finite-range adiabatic wave approximation and the exact Faddeev method. We include studies of {sup 11}Be(p, d){sup 10}Be(g.s.) at E{sub p}=5, 10, and 35 MeV; {sup 12}C(d, p){sup 13}C(g.s.) at E{sub d}=7, 12, and 56 MeV; and {sup 48}Ca(d, p){sup 49}Ca(g.s.) at E{sub d}=19, 56, and 100 MeV. Results show that the two methods agree within {approx_equal}5% for a range of beam energies (E{sub d}{approx_equal}20-40 MeV) but differences increase significantly for very low energies and for the highest energies. Our tests show that ADWA agrees best with the Faddeev method when the angular momentum transfer is small {Delta}l=0 and when the neutron-nucleus system is loosely bound.
