Heather has both self-discipline and high performance standards. That’s why she appreciates the freedom offered by a self-study format. She can fit the rigorous review program into her schedule of constant meetings and family errands, and study at her own pace anywhere and at any time it’s convenient. And since she knows that she’s getting the same comprehensive instruction as students attending classes, she’s looking forward to taking the first exam.

Terry enjoyed the in-person interaction with his instructor and other students in a classroom environment. Attending regularly scheduled classes in the same location helped him stay focused, as did the homework assignments. He felt that the in-class feedback and discussion encouraged students to explore important issues and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Now he’s confident he understands the material and is ready to sit for the exam.

John found that being prompted every week with the release of a new lecture kept him engaged in his review course so he could complete his CPA Exam prep as planned. Being able to watch the lectures on his time kept him from falling behind. He sometimes watched the lectures over again to gain understanding of particularly difficult learning points. Online access to his instructor and peers also helped. Now he’s right on schedule to take the CPA Exam next month, just as he intended.
