What We’ve Learned: Many CPA Candidates Aren’t Getting The Most For Their Money

As a tutor for MDS CPA Review, I hear a lot of questions from CPA exam candidates in addition to ones specifically related to homework. These include questions like:

• How can I prepare for the exam while working full time and raising a family?
• I do great on homework, but I freeze up on the CPA exam. What can I do about test anxiety?
• It’s been so long since I was in college that I need more than just a review for some topics. How can I prepare for those questions?
• I’m a hands-on learner, so how can I make use of online study materials?
• How can I duplicate the exam experience in my studies?
• A 4-hour exam will destroy me! How can I stay focused enough to complete the entire exam and pass?
• I have used several review courses, homework forums and other online materials – but still haven’t been able to pass the exam. What can you do to help me pass?
• Plus, of course, what steps should I use to solve MCQs, TBSs and the BEC written communication questions?
