CPA Exam: What's the Best CPA Review Course? [Current for 2020]

[@AnthonyBoltman-um9jl]

Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan

[@robertenriquez8235]

People keep talking about Dylan all over KZbin,he must be a very awesome help.

[@noramei-hua9577]

I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing

[@KingstonMartin-gl6br]

CPA exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me.

[@jennyms6027]

Everyone has their own way, Dylan worked for me and studying didn't .

[@JacksonTerry-qm9ov]

correct, everyone has a different fate

[@DsFx-qx8eo]

Obviously CPA exam has been a pain in my ass, but that won't bother me anylonger I have gotten my license already thanks to you Mrs Amilia God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me.

[@lisafox6590]

CPA exam is really difficult and frustrating, i can't believe I failed again after studying so hard

[@marygracebanner9517]

You will pass everyone has their own season, just keep going pray and believe you will receive yours Mrs Amilia like everyone has been saying she can be off help

[@dionjoyner6973]

Am sorry for that some people also passed through the difficulties just be patient and keep studying

[@traderreality6354]

I'm really sorry about that but I got used to it until I succeeded, I failed 5 times before I finally passed, It would have been 6 but Mrs Amilia saved me from failing again,

[@scottmaxwell5057]

I saw someone say she is not trustworthy i couldn't stop laughing, really people say a lot of shit these days

[@daralynlopez4360]

I am using Yaeger because they have a very low price without skipping on content & their book is modeled after the AICPA Blueprints.

[@cdelval11]

I am using Wiley CPA, and I also used Ninja CPA Test bank. I like the bite-size lessons of Wiley and the test bak of Ninja

[@alishanordahl3485]

My choice was to use Roger. I asked around my former classmates and colleagues and there was some Wiley, Becker, and Roger. Those who used Becker did so because they got it for free from their employer or thought the most expensive option had to be the best. Vis versa, those who used WIley told me they did so because it was cheaper. Those who used Roger said that they actually enjoyed his lectures and like the testing functions within the program. Moreover, a few people said they couldn't help but hear his voice and memory aids while actually sitting down to test. I did a week trial and felt like it was the best course for me. I like to listen to podcasts while working, so instead, I just turn the lectures on and listen to them passively throughout the day.

[@chefpapi13]

yup podcast style would work for me. Thanks for sharing

[@CPACareerPaths]

I used Roger to pass FAR, REG, and BEC. I used Roger, Becker, Ninja, Gleim, Wiley (yes, all of them) to pass AUD in the third time. I passed AUD in the last week of my 18 month window (I already passed all other 3 sections). So glad that it’s over. No more CPA exams for me. LOL. Good luck to everyone who is studying for the exam. 😉

[@aallearn4927]

It would have costed a lot

[@josebless5152]

I am using Rogers, I like his engaging lectures and the interface of the course

[@SuperfastCPA]

Thanks for watching Lenny, best of luck with your CPA exams!

[@korycarter5672]

I use Roger Unlimited which I bought, then 6 months later got my first job at a CPA firm and they offered me Becker for free, so now I have these 2 huge awesome review courses and no idea where to start my FAR studies! I picked Roger because of his personality in lectures (I'm a bit of a joker too) and the Audio notes.

[@katherinemeade9912]

I'm using Roger because of the energy in his lectures. I know they just rolled out the ability to create tests based on topics (sub-headings) instead of just full chapters which should help me with the re-review. I'm excited to get started with SuperfastCPA!

[@amandacole4065]

still trying to figure out which review course is best for me

[@sarahdoan6594]

This is so helpful thank you! I'm going to start studying soon and paying on my own. So this gives a good starting ground!

[@ArcilonBrasil]

I am using Wiley CPA Excel because they have a unlimited access and big test bank

[@SuperfastCPA]

Thanks for watching, best of luck with your CPA exams!

[@myadventures9996]

Using Becker because my employer is paying for it

[@SuperfastCPA]

Can't go wrong with that

[@Nadine055]

I am still unsure, which review should I choose. 1) Gleim - MAYBE, but I am afraid of overwhelming material. No mobile version, only flash cards in the most expensive. 2) Roger - MAYBE, but I don't like his book. I think it focuses on memorizing instead of on explaining. 3) Wiley - YES??? It looks quite perfect for me, but it's expensive (I just missed a huge discount) and it doesn't have audio, which you can download and listen to while driving. 4) Yaeger - NO - Their books look like short notes, too less exercises and I don't like his accent (I'm not an English native speaker, so it's important for me). 5) Surgent - NO - I don't trust this system. 6) Becker - NO - Too expensive. I'm very surprised because a lot of people say that Wiley doesn't have too much explanation in books, but I think it and Becker have the most complete books. The most important for me is a printed book. Any advice? [I can be wrong I saw only trial versions of these courses.)

[@ericeandco]

I think Wiley has the best books if you want to make sure you address everything. Some people prefer less. But the most important part of any review system is the test bank. I know both Wiley and Gleim gave detailed answers to the questions and had plenty of different questions. They also sell these products separately as supplemental learning products. Sounds like you like Wiley. If it’s too expensive to get the whole package you could look at purchasing a section at a time. FAR and Audit are pretty big sections. Either one of those may take a while before you feel confident to sit.

[@4real883]

Completely agree about Yeager's accent. That's the big turn off for me. I almost chose his course, but I can't stand listening to (and watching) him for a year.

[@maksimbaranovskiy7115]

Thanks for review. I'll follow your advices and take Wiley and Gleim trial.

[@ericeandco]

Access till you pass is key. I’ve used a couple of courses and no one course checks all the boxes. I’ve been out of school a long time so I thought lectures would be key. I found they weren’t as helpful as I thought they’d be. I need to see them working the problem and explaining. Advice, simplifying steps would be helpful. Reading the entire book to me drives me nuts. I also found I spent far too much time on them. You need to work problems and simulations till you can’t stand it because that’s what you’re going to do on exam day.

[@SuperfastCPA]

Agreed and that's a good point - "Unlimited Access" doesn't mean exactly the same thing on every review course.

[@harrisongunkarwonpayesr.5919]

I am planning to use Surgent CPA Review, but I also need guidance.

[@AskReneeLawson]

I am using Fast Forward Academy. I picked it because I have used it for continuing education for tax preparation.

[@katekim1050]

I am currently using Glem for test bank because I heard it has good quaity questions and I am satisfied with test banks but it is kind of overwhelming for me since number of questions is a lot. I heard wiley has less questions(still a lot) but it is more understandable. So I want to try wiley course. I am also good fan of your cpa review notes!! It helped a lot organize huge study materials!

[@SuperfastCPA]

Thanks Kate, glad to hear the notes have helped. I think Gleim is really good, and if you still have access I wouldn't purchase an entire new review course. Just my 2 cents

[@veronicabryant9175]

I haven't decided on which one to use yet. I need something that is not as expensive as Becker.

[@farelycomprestejada2403]

Thank you very much for this review. Now, I know how to make a better decision regarding which CPA review course. THANK YOU!

[@SuperfastCPA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mahmoudghareeb5239]

May I know which review course did you pick? I'm really still confused and have a short time to select. thanks

[@sauceboss18]

Nate, I use Surgent. I originally got it for the price but I felt the videos did not give me enough to pass the exam. After failing FAR, I bought a textbook from Yaeger CPA Review and that worked for me since I passed FAR soon afterwards. What I liked about Yaeger is that the book follows the AICPA blueprints one by one so each area that can be tested, is for sure covered. I passed AUD using the same method. Yaeger book and Surgent's MCQs and Sims.

[@SuperfastCPA]

They all have great content - or enough to help you pass - you just want to make sure that the course you choose includes unlimited access, which Wiley does, and then use a few free trials to see which one you personally like the best from there.

[@CraftyComeLately]

Gleim. That's what our tax prof used and I love how it explains why each answer is wrong and how you might have thought that answer was correct.

[@NaijaBoiTellEm]

Wiley has a promo running right now till April 15, 2020 that you can get the Silver Course Review for as low as $1,300 USD. I'll be going with them and will finally get back to study for the CPA exam. Thanks.

[@Nadine055]

Is it possible that this discount will occur again?

[@4real883]

@@Nadine055 Almost certainly

[@NaijaBoiTellEm]

@@Nadine055 I would hope so. I'm sitting for FAR in August 2020 so I'll be ordering from Wiley soon.

Debating Surgent or Wiley. Surgent for the tech and Wiley for bite-size. I hate Rogers lectures btw.

[@amohamad79]

I'm Using Wiley, it was cheaper, unlimited access, lessons are small (good), the videos are very short (will not help much), hope will help me to pass

Currently debating Roger's or Surgent but now after watching this I'm going to do a free trial with Wiley as well as the other two to see which one feels best for me

[@UnshackledOne]

Looking...Surgent and Wiley for the way they break down the lectures in smaller videos as opposed to sitting for a lecture for an hour. But still not sure. I am taking advantage of the free trials. I do like Becker's lectures. But I only have a few days to decide.

Im using Becker Unlimited but I wanted some reinforcement to my current software. Im not happy with their videos that just read off word for word the examples. I read first then do videos and work problems. Helps for my learning style but I really wanted your audio notes and questions i can do on the phone on the go. Thats such a great asset to my current software. I love the exposure to extra questions you offer.

Hey Felicia- sorry to hear that. As you see in the video, make sure you get something with unlimited access. I'd recommend either Surgent or CPAexcel's Silver Package.

[@SuperfastCPA]

[@KG-xs3ih]

Not using any review course yet bc I have limited funds to choose only one. Need all the information available

[@SuperfastCPA]

My first recommendation is Wiley CPAexcel. Use a free trial and see what you think: www.superfastcpa.com/cpaexcel

[@ericeandco]

Try the free trials to all the review courses you’re interested in. Pick your two favorites and then look for discounts. You should be able to find 20 to 30% off. If it’s still too expensive to get the 4 part packages look at buying a section at a time. They may or may not have access till you pass. You’ll want a big and varied test bank with detailed answers. If your program doesn’t have that you’ll want to buy it separately.

[@cristinagomez-perez6200]

Previously, you recommended Rogers CPA for me as I have been out of school for about a year, and you mentioned his high energy video lectures would benefit me. I did consider Rogers. I forecasted to my Top 3: 1. Becker 2. Rogers 3. CPAExcel. I was getting ready to purchase Rogers. What pushed me away from it, same goes with CPAExcel, was their credit check and financing. An APR from 10-30%. Wiley offered a 0% if paid within 6mo. I am currently in escrow and adding on debt was no option. And I didn’t want my credit to be checked. I then looked at Becker. Becker offers direct finance on an ETF/ACH with no interest. They only charge an app fee $125, no credit check. Low monthly payments of $166/mo Vs Rogers at around $230ish/mo. The down fall is the app fee. Ultimately, I made my decision based on my current situation being in the middle of escrow. Becker seems to be doing the job, hence, the videos can be boring...sometimes I think about when is this lecture going to be over...don’t get me wrong, the instructors give good thorough info and explain each topic...but it does get boring.

I have an undergraduate degree in Accounting in 1994 and went to work in a private company doing basic bookkeeping such as : A/R collections and lockbox posting, A/P issuance of checks, and general bookkeeping. I couldn’t fully study the accounting courses such as: Intermediate, cost accounting, tax and auditing only b/c I was not sure what I wanted to do. Had to deal with an illness, but now back on track. And I am now working full time and I feel I need to learn more accounting knowledge for the next job. I am rereading the book Financial Accounting to refresh my memories. I am not sure how to go about preparing for the CPA test since I have been out of the study mode for many years. Would anyone have any helpful suggestions? Thank you.
