CPA Study: Are You Making It Harder Than It Needs to Be?

If you're frustrated with your CPA study process

then you just might be making this harder than it needs to be

For example, when you start a lesson in your review course, you start by watching the video lecture

Now, let's take a 20 minute video lecture, for example. You start the video, you probably zone out a couple times

you don't understand a few parts, so you restart the video several times

So what was just a 20 minute video lecture, can easily turn into one to two actual hours spent

So you get through the video, then you come down to look through some of the practice questions

And as you look through the questions, you realize that spending the one to two hours

on this video still doesn't give you the ability to answer the questions from that lesson

So at this point you decide, well, I probably just need to watch the video one more time

Now, the big and obvious problem with this cycle is you've spent one to two, maybe even three hours

messing around with this process before you even get into the most crucial part of the lesson

which is the practice questions. Now, here's a small secret on test day. You just need to be

able to answer the exam questions that you're going to see. You're not going to be tested on

how well you can watch a video lecture or how well you can highlight a chapter. I'm Nate with

Super Fast CPA and we help CPA candidates pass their CPA exams by creating a strategic study process that fits into their current daily routine For example the normal study approach if you visualize these two funnels and from top to bottom this represents

time spent studying. So the normal approach is based on, okay, here's the video for the lesson

And as we just illustrated, that might take anywhere from an hour to two hours to get through

the video for the lesson. Then you go through and you highlight the key parts of the chapter

you look through the text, and the smallest portion of your study time is actually spent doing

what you'll be doing on exam day. So that is clearly not the most efficient way of approaching

each topic. Now, what we teach our clients and customers how to do, you still use your same review

course. It really doesn't matter what review course you have, but you spend the majority of your

study time doing what you'll be doing on test day with your review course on a daily basis

and then we have a thing we teach our customers called mini sessions

That just means doing smaller versions of this as you go about your normal day

And then you use the videos and the text to fill in the gaps in your understanding as needed

Instead of making that what you spend most of your time on. Now, if these ideas make sense to you about how this is much more efficient, works better

and allows you to spend less time studying each day while getting better results

We have a free one hour training where I will walk you through the strategies behind this approach how to apply this to your current review course and specifically how you can study only two hours a day with your review course on weekdays and get more done in one of these two hour sessions than someone studying four to five hours the normal way To sign up for one of

these free trainings, you can click on the button that's somewhere around this video, go to the

registration page, choose a time that will work for you, and then do not miss it. Now the only downside

is of course the time. So it takes about an hour for me to walk through exactly how to do this

However, this one-hour training will save you months and months of time and frustration

Now, a key thing to keep in mind, when you're putting in time and effort trying to pass these exams

whether or not your study time is actually effective and will get you a passing score on test day

either way, it's taking time away from things in your life that you would rather be doing

So you definitely want to make sure that every hour invested in this process is actually yielding results

that it's high leverage, that it is moving you towards a passing score

and you're not just wasting that time, again, taking you away from things you'd rather be doing

Here's a few clips from some of our previous customers who all started by attending this same free training

I was doing my work and I would keep seeing your videos pop up on YouTube, that you advertise that people can be working full time and pass this exam

and you can still have a life. And like it was those three things. And I think that last one was the most important is have a life

Yeah, the hour training. Yes, the hour training. I signed up for that

I sat down and I listened to this and I got your program And I went on to pass all three of my exams before December And so I so super thankful and I told everybody about super fast

What you're doing right now is not working, give this a try. Know that sometimes you do feel like you're not doing enough, but God, it works

It works. I studied about half the time. I studied for the others

I was like, but, you know, I stuck to the super fast method. So maybe it'll work out

And I made a 90. So it was like, her made a 91. I made a 91

That was actually my highest grade. And I was like, well, okay, I guess this method works

And I said, you know what? I'm going to do that. I'm going to just kind of like embrace the study method

And then I passed. And once I passed far, that was my first exam I passed

I just told myself, like, I'm not going to fail again. Like, I know how to pass these now. And I didn't

I passed the next three in a row. Yeah. I owe my CPA license probably to your service

So thank you so much. It helped me more than you probably know

And then, like, it was just one after the other. I passed all four of them in three months or so

It doesn't, like, have to be this weight, like, around your neck. So, yeah, I basically did that for all four tests, and I passed all four of them

Yeah, it was, like, a super condensed period of time. I hadn't, I had failed, like, a bunch of exam, thousands of dollars, essentially, down the toilet

The study tips, I think, kind of connected the dots for me and made that happen

So it's pretty sweet. So, again, to register for one of these free trains. Just click the button that's on or below this video and go to the registration page
