Exam Grades Released

Congrats to all of you who passed the CPA exam as well as those that passed the next part!

To those who didn't pass, here is Joe's "secret sauce" to help you pass the exam:


(1) – Pick the part of the exam that you like the most. It’s always easier to get started with a part you like.
(2) – Schedule to take that exam in roughly 40 days, let’s say the end of January.
(3)—Go to www.CPAreviewforFREE.com and read all the information under “resources.”
(4)—Start answering at least 15 questions per day.
(5)—Never guess. On the exam, you need to guess. In studying, never guess.
(6)—If you get a question correct, move on. Don’t sit and congratulate yourself.
(7)—If you miss a question, find the step you missed (see above) and figure out what you missed in that step. Write down 10 words or less to help you get the question/step right the next time you see it.
(8)—Never forget that you only need to get 75 points to pass. You are not seeking perfection.
(9)—When you get to the final 7-10 days, start going methodically back through your 10 word notes. You want to make sure you can get as many questions right as possible.
(10)—During the exam, watch your time very closely. You want to finish with about 10 seconds left. Don’t waste time but don’t get too rushed.
(11)—If you don’t know a question, eliminate as many answers as possible and take a guess. Don’t let a tough question get you rattled.
