Biggest CPA Study Mistake

Do you want to know the biggest mistake that prevents passing scores on the CPA

exams and why most CPA candidates have no idea that they're making this mistake

If you're working on your CPA exams tell me if this sounds familiar. You open a

new lesson in your review course and you start the video lecture. Five to ten

minutes in you realize that you've zoned out or you're just not understanding the

material so you start the video over. Now this might happen five to ten times

before you get to the point where you finish the video and feel like you understood it. So what was supposed to be a 30 minute video ended up taking you

about an hour and a half to two hours. Then you attempt to answer some of the

practice problems or the simulations but you realize you still don't know how to

answer those problems so you go back to watch the video lecture again. So it's

easy to see how a study plan can quickly spiral out of control. People fall behind

and feel completely overwhelmed because an innocent 30 minute video lecture turned into a three to four hour struggle that makes you question your

sanity. And that's not even considering trying to master ongoing retention and

then test day strategies like time management or managing exam anxiety. Now

the worst thing that can happen is that you spend months maybe even years with

these exams hanging around your neck. You're putting in all this hard work

you're sacrificing all your precious free time on your nights and weekends

studying for these exams, but it is just not translating on test day. My name is

Nate I run SuperfastCPA where we help CPA candidates solve this exact issue

For example, there is a very simple five minute exercise that you can do for any

new lesson before you watch the video lecture for that lesson that will make

the video then make ten times more sense after doing this quick exercise. You'll

also know exactly what you need to learn from that lesson in the same context

that you'd actually be seeing it on exam day. So just knowing this five minute exercise will save you hours on a daily basis. Now I'm going to be doing a

quick little training class the next few days where I will teach you this five

minute exercise as well as several other high leverage strategies completely for

free, so click this video at any time to register for that. Now let's go back to

the biggest mistake. So the number one biggest mistake is simply a lack of

strategy as you execute your daily study process. It's like trying to chop down a

tree with pure brute strength without ever taking the time to just stop and

sharpen the axe, which would make the tree fall down much faster much sooner

with a lot less wasted effort. Now you can't blame people for not knowing this

stuff because while the review courses present the actual exam material, they

don't teach you any of this strategy stuff. Going back to that example, most

people just assume that if you don't understand a lesson, your only real tool

is to just keep watching the video lecture until you do understand it. So in

my own CPA journey I made this exact same mistake. I spent my first three

months studying eight hours a day, very similar to the struggle I just described

but I was working hard, I was putting in the time, yet I still went in and failed

that first section. By that time I had started my first public accounting job

so I had very limited time to study, but when I saw FAR in person that first time

I had two distinct aha moments or light bulbs go off as to how to study

differently. So simply out of necessity I was only spending two hours a day with

my review course, but I was studying much differently. Then I started passing

sections. I ended up going four for four over just a few months, so me with my

same brain, the first three months studied eight hours a day to get one

failing score. The next three months I pass all four exams only studying two

hours a day. So nothing changed with my raw IQ or my brainpower, it obviously

came down to the strategies I was using, how I actually studied each day. Like I

said, we now help CPA candidates pass their CPA exams much more efficiently by

implementing this strategic approach, which I refer to as the Gordon Ramsey

approach, because it consists of six key ingredients. When someone is doing all

six of these strategies in their study process and they're doing them how we

teach you to do them, it is honestly hard to fail. Now I mentioned I'm doing a free

little training class the next few days where I will teach you these six key

ingredients and how to do them. You can apply these strategies to any review

course, it doesn't matter what review course you're using. Now this training will be in webinar format over the next few days, so to learn these strategies

for free you just need to choose one of the upcoming times and then actually

show up to the session. We don't teach this stuff for free anywhere else. Also

each session, because it's a webinar, it has limited spots. So click the video now

to go to the registration page and reserve your spot on one of the upcoming

times. Now if you're skeptical or if you're wondering if this will work for

you, you be the judge. Attend one of the sessions and if you don't have several

aha moments, several light bulbs going off as I walk you through the strategies

feel free to leave at any time. Now as I said before, these same strategies, in

fact this same training, has helped thousands of CPA candidates improve their own study process, such as Coral. So Coral had a new baby, she was extremely

busy at work, and she was starting to feel a lot of pressure at work because

she'd been in the position for a few years. She'd worked on the CPA exams but

it just wasn't coming together. She saw one of our ads just like this one, attended one of these same free trainings, implemented the strategies, and

now she's done with her CPA exams. And if it worked for me, it can work for anyone

Thank you so much for just putting this out there and basically changing my

life because if it wasn't for that ad, I guarantee you I wouldn't be a CPA today

Or there's Ben. When it came down to it, he just did not want to sacrifice his

evenings with his family to study for the CPA exams. He came across one of

these same free trainings, saw that there was a different way to still get it done

and now he's done with his CPA exams. So yeah, I basically did that for all four

tests. And I passed all four of them. I think I started in November of 2019 and

I passed my fourth test, REG, in February of 2020. As soon as I passed, yeah, it was like a super condensed period of time

Or there's Jade. Before she even started the study process, she looked around

online to try and find a proven study plan to follow. She saw one of these same

ads, saw the same training, implemented the strategies, and passed her exams over

a few months on the first try. Sounds like you crushed the exams

Somehow I passed all four on my first try. And you did it in two months? Yes

So, if you would like to learn these six strategies so that you can save

yourself time, money, stress, and frustration by learning how to be much

more efficient with your study time, click this video now, register for an

upcoming session, and I will see you there
