You have decided to go through the grueling process of taking and hopefully passing the CPA exam. This is a choice you have made and you are proud of it. The next step will be finding the right materials to help you, choosing whether or not to take classes, and how good you are at accounting. But remember, it’s not just about the materials you choose, or deciding between online and college courses.
You need to make a choice. Chances are, you have already decided to take the test and that is the first step. However, the next step will be to choose to pass the test. Most people don’t think of this as being a choice, but it is. You will need to designate time to study. You will need to come up with the money for the exam and the study materials. Make sure to have a goal of passing on the first try clear in your mind through all the tough decisions you will have to face and you more than likely will pass the first time.
You have a life. Chances are, you are working as an accountant now and have deadlines and long hours. You probably have a spouse or significant other and you may even have children. All of these things can make it difficult to find time to study or afford the materials, but you must persevere.
Choose Materials
2014 CPA review books are the best option for you, unless you choose to take courses at your local college. If you want to go it alone, you will need the most up-to-date information and you just can’t do that with books that were printed before this year. If you work with a book even one year old, it could cause you to fail the test because new rules and regulations have come into play since the time that the book was written. In some cases, from the time you sign up for the test until you take the test, things have changed.
Therefore, choosing 2014 books is the best way to ensure that you pass. You should also look for online courses that will provide you with free updates when and if they occur. This will help you learn the most pertinent information.
If you are one of those people that work better in a group or in a structured setting, such as a classroom or group study class, then consider those options. Do everything you can to pass.
