The CPA Becker Review didn't help much. First I failed BEC...then FAR...and now REG too. Is passing the CPA exam REALLY THAT HARD?

Yaeger CPA Review Course - My Personal Experience

After using another study course, I only passed one out of four sections of the exam. It was due to this experience that I bought Yaeger's Home Study Course, which ended up helping me to pass all three sections with great scores.

The Yaeger site claims that students who have studied the Yaeger CPA review course have an average pass rate of 88% on the CPA exam. The founder, Dr. Phil Yaeger, has helped prepare students for the exam since 1977. I liked the fact Dr. Yaeger and his team provided access to an instructors help line. It is part of their student support system and is an 800 number. I made regular calls to this number and have spoken to very patient professors (including Dr. Yaeger himself on a few occasions) who never finished the call until all my questions were answered.

I found the lecture videos quite engaging and led by well qualified teachers. The videos followed a simple format where teachers explained the important procedures and supplied multiple choice questions and samples. The good thing about the Yaeger system is they focused on materials with a higher chance of appearing on the exam. The professors also encourage students to study the most relevant questions likely to turn up in the exam.

Also worth mentioning are Yaeger's cram DVDs which can add between 5 to 15 points to your final exam score. Each DVD teaches a concentrated version of a single CPA section and varies between 7-16 hours. These cram DVDs are aimed at identifying the candidates least strong areas and improving those areas just before the exam. Even candidates who use a different CPA review course can gain knowledge from these cram DVDs by using them as supplementary, last-minute study materials.

All Yaeger CPA review course materials are are reviewed annually, including lesson videos which are recorded every year. Thus, the candidate can be confident that they are learning from the most up-to-date information.

The total cost of the Yaeger products surpised me as it is lower than other CPA exam review courses - even though it is better quality than some. Overall, I am very happy with the Yaeger CPA review course and would recommend it highly to anyone trying to succeed in the CPA exam.

Another great thing about the Yaeger CPA review course is that they have promotions from time to time where substantial price discounts are implemented. For example, there is currently such a promotion running. It’s called the “Daisy Discount”, and it allows you to get $275 off the complete Yaeger home study course, or $75 off each section of the exam if you buy each section separately.

So, to recap, the Yaeger CPA review should be your choice of CPA exam review course because:
-It is cheaper than many of the other popular CPA review courses.
-The hotline will come in handy when you need to ask questions.
-It will enable you to minimize study time while maximizing chances of passing, by telling you what materials to concentrate on studying.
-It is updated frequently.
-It is taught by experienced instructors.

So what are you waiting for?
