Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Jason was able to go from failing AUD 3 times, to passing all 4 exams in 6 months.Jason was doing the original method of studying, watching the lectures and reading the textbook then attempting the questions. He would always end up rewatching the lecture and re-reading the textbook so that his study sessions in the evening took up to four or even six hours. Then he found SuperfastCPA, changed his strategies (like going to the questions first) and had a completely new result. Jason was super excited to be on the podcast, so enjoy and make sure you follow his tips!FULL EPISODE PAGE: https://www.superfastcpa.com/how-jason-went-from-failing-aud-three-times-to-passing-in-6-months/Episode Timestamps00:00 Jason Interview02:37 Motivated to Get on the Podcast03:21 Passed BEC with the Traditional Method, But Went Downhill from There05:16 After Failing AUD 3 Times, Decided to Switch Sections06:35 Found SuperfastCPA and Watched the Webinar07:44 Realizing the Low ROI from Doing the Traditional Approach08:46 Doing Mini Sessions Throughout the Day10:52 Forcing Yourself to do Mini Sessions13:05 Unlock His Phone Straight to the SuperfastCPA App15:08 Used the Ideas from the Webinar and Passed REG16:52 CPA Exam Test Timeline17:49 Learned More from the Questions First Approach19:37 Should've Bought the PRO Course Right from the Start20:42 Had to Figure Out the Flashcards Process on His Own21:48 Found the Flashcard Tip to be Valuable23:21 Studying Four Hours After Work and Failing24:21 Found the Method Bearable to Switch Studying After Work25:58 How Jason Prepares for a Study Session After Work27:03 Practicing with Excel Helped on Test Day29:10 Planned His Study Timeline in Excel31:02 Always Felt Unsure If He Passed32:35 Felt Like TCP was a Continuation of REG34:07 The Feeling After Finally Passing36:15 Jason's Study Timeline for Each Section37:03 How Jason Studied for the Sims39:40 Weekend Study Routine40:40 Split Study Sessions on Weekends to Mimic Test Day41:54 Still Had Time for Hobbies Because of the SuperfastCPA Method42:45 Jason's Way of Handling Difficult Topics45:04 Preparing for Exam Day46:42 Scheduled the Exams in the Afternoon48:25 Top Tips for People Studying for the CPA Exam54:03 Mini Sessions Throughout the Day is a Game Changer54:57 Having the SuperfastCPA App Made Studying Flexible56:26 Plans after Passing the CPA ExamsLearn the SuperfastCPA Study Approach, FreeYou'll hear me mention the SuperfastCPA study process multiple times in this episode.What we teach our customers is how to have a 2-hour main session each day where you can get more done than someone studying 4-5 hours the "normal way".We cover this in our free "study trainings", which are 1-hour webinars where you'll learn exactly what to do when you sit down to study so that you can 1) move through new material faster, 2) understand and retain it better, and 3) spend less time in front of your review course WHILE getting better results.Register for a free session here: https://www.superfastcpa.com/passnowOR, just text PASSNOW to 44222 and we'll text you back a link to the training.This is one hour that will literally save you months of time and frustration from trying to figure this stuff out on your own, so register for a session today!Register for a free session here: https://www.superfastcpa.com/passnow
