Hourglass CPA Video

If you're working on your CPA exams, you probably wish you had a little bit more time in the day

But the time that you spend studying is meaningless if your study methods aren't effective

So I want to give you three specific big picture strategies that will make the time you do spend studying much more effective

Now, what I'm about to say is going to make a lot of sense

But it's probably stuff you haven't really heard before. We do have a free one-hour training webinar where I will walk you through exactly what I did to pass my CPA exams in three months while working full-time

And the study routine I followed was based on these three ideas I'm about to give you

So number one, focus on active study methods instead of passive study methods

Watching video lectures and reading the chapter that's very low impact on your brain

It's passive. That's why you constantly zone out. You have to restart the video lecture 20 times

The other thing is that you've probably found out, even if you do feel like you understood the video lecture

that does not directly translate to being able to answer the practice questions

Now, that's a hint at a better way of doing it, but I'll come back to that in a second

Now, the video lectures and the text obviously have their place in your study process

but you need to use them strategically. More about that in a second

Tip number two capture the understanding So when you come across a topic or rule or concept or formula that really confusing to you for whatever reason it hard for you to understand or remember

Those types of items you need to stop and literally explain it out loud back to yourself until you understand it

And then you write down that explanation that you came up with in your own words

You write that down so you have it. That's what I mean by capturing the understanding

So there's a way of doing it strategically. Again, we'll come back to that in a second

So the third tip is to build re-review into your daily study process

So what is the point of spending 100 or more hours going through dozens and dozens of lessons

putting in all this time and effort if you are just going to inevitably forget huge portions

of all this stuff you work so hard to learn in the first place? But that is exactly what happens following the

traditional or the normal study approach. So instead, you simply dedicate a portion of your study

time each day to re-reviewing all the things that you've studied previously so that you get better

and better at all the concepts, all the material as time goes on, instead of slowly forgetting

all this stuff you've spent so much time learning in the first place. There's two simple ways to do

it, and we will come back to that in just a second. Now, as you can probably tell, I could talk all day

about CPA study strategy. My name's Nate. I run super fast CPA and we help busy CPA candidates master their study process so that they can pass their CPA exams with less dedicated study time each day I myself passed my CPA exams in one three

period while I was working full-time. I only studied two hours a day with my review course on

average. So like I mentioned before, we have a free one-hour training where I will walk you through

these strategies in detail. This will help you get much more out of your review course

高s, it does not matter what review course you're using. Any review course can be used in this format

When you really know what you're doing when you sit down to study each day, when you're

fully in control of your own study process, when you sit down to study, you can get so much

more done in so much less time. And when you know that it's working, all the stress, frustration, and overwhelm go away

and this process stops feeling like a huge weight just hanging around your neck

So here's a few of the things that you'll learn from this free training. So you'll learn the perfect two-hour study session

So how to use your current review course much differently, but much more efficiently

so that you can get much more done in less time. And you'll learn how to cut straight to what is most important from any given lesson

a.k.a. what is most testable. This can be easily identified in any review course

It doesn't matter how they lay out their content. You'll learn the six key ingredients to a winning study process

You learn how to classify information into things that you should do the process I mentioned where you explain it back to yourself and write it in your own words and then what types of information you can skip You learn an exercise that you do on a daily basis so that you eliminate exam anxiety way before you ever get to the testing center You also

learn how to master time management on exam day, again, way before you ever actually step into

the testing center. The thing that I'm always telling my clients is that this study approach

and the daily exercises that we teach you, it solves a lot of problems in advance

You'll learn how to remove the dread factor from the daily study process

so that you don't have to fight yourself just to sit down and study each day

You'll learn how to fit your entire study process into your current daily routine

so that you can take the evenings off. And overall, from this training

you're just going to learn this one cohesive process so that the study

process, you form it into this thing that doesn't have to take over your life. It's really not that

big of a deal once you master the process itself and then the exams just take care of themselves
