And this how you know that you can get through the CPA exam

The answer is simple. Connect and commute. It’s important to introduce yourself to the CPA forums and groups before you finalize your plan to become a US-certified public accountant. If you have an accounting major, seek seniors, mentors, or alumni and discuss whether you are on the right track. Everyone has exclusive ways to think and learn, yet one can have enough inputs to plan their CPA preparation.

In case if you are falling short on resources, trust the web suggestions. You can always look up CPA reviews and how they are catering to train students. Indian aspirants in particular prefer a home-grown institute to foreign review materials. As it allows them to compare the context, understand in-depth, and helps them to grasp the materials faster. To check materials that make more sense to you in understanding the CPA concepts, go by that choice.

If you are focusing on a certain training institute, then make sure that you have looked up the videos of the instructors and course delivery. This is a top complaint on any online CPA review course that students are not able to catch up with the pace of the content after spending huge on the review materials. It’s advisable to look up sample CPA lectures and notebooks before you lock it for your preparation.
