Introduction

Your CPA certification is the gold standard in accounting and finance, offering unparalleled career opportunities in the industry. We are proud to relaunch our comprehensive CPA course at MYCPE ONE ACADEMY and walk this journey with you.

You are at the right place if you're studying for the CPA Exam. This step-by-step guide will help you confidently pass the exam and become one of the leading accounting professionals worldwide. 

Step 1: Understand the CPA Exam Structure

 The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants holds its examinations in four modules, namely 

  1. AUD- Auditing and Attestation 
  2. BEC- Business Environment and Concepts 
  3. FAR- Financial Accounting and Reporting 
  4. REG- Regulation

Results range from 0 to 99 for each section; a student must get at least a score of 75 to pass the exam. Knowing what the exams encompass and how to structure them will guide students in preparing as best as possible.

Step 2: Confirm your Eligibility

Before you start preparing for CPA certification, confirm if you are qualified in your state. The general requirements in most states are:

  • A bachelor's degree with 120 to 150 hours in accounting or fields related to this area
  • Some coursework on business law, financial accounting, and taxation

Our upcoming CPA course will include guidance on meeting eligibility requirements and applying for the exam. 

Step 3: Build a Realistic Study Plan

A well-structured study plan is the foundation of CPA Exam success. Each section typically requires 100-150 hours of focused study. 

How to Create Your Study Plan:

  • Allocate specific times each day to study according to your work or personal commitments
  • Divide the syllabus into smaller bites for better management of the stuff
  • Set yourself goals for each day and each week and keep monitoring your progress

 Step 4: Choose the Best Review Course

One of the significant decisions you will make on your CPA journey is choosing the right review course for yourself. At MYCPE ONE ACADEMY, we boast about having the CPA Prep Course designed to give you:

  • Comprehensive study material that is aligned with AICPA standards
  • Interactive practice exams and simulations   
  • Video lectures from seasoned CPAs  
  • Personalized mentorship to help with your unique problem areas  

 Step 5: Learn One Section at a Time

Effective preparation can only be achieved by learning one exam section at a time. Lacking a particular order, most candidates prefer to begin with either:

  • FAR: Financial Accounting and Reporting is the most significant section
  • BEC: Business Environment and Concepts is Typically easier than the others

It's a good place to begin to build your confidence.

Step 6: Learn How to Manage Time and Practice

The CPA Exam is at least as much a strategy test as knowledge. 

To pass, do this:

  • Practice timed exams to develop endurance
  • Practice MCQs and TBSs
  • Plan a time management approach for each exam to ensure that you have enough time for the test

Our CPA Prep Course will cover full-length practice exams to guide you through mock test conditions.

 Step 7: Keeping Up with the Changes

The CPA Exam changes yearly as accounting standards, tax laws, and business regulations change. Our CPA course will ensure you study with the latest materials so you will never be caught off guard.

 Step 8: Take Care of Yourself

Preparing for the CPA Exam is tough on the body and mind. Keep your study balanced with adequate sleep and healthy eating. Maintain regular exercise that boosts focus and energy. Include short breaks within study sessions to recharge. 

Step 9: Plan Your Exams Wisely

Pre-trained and work within an appropriate schedule. You can finish all the modules in a rolling 18-month period. To take an application and registration sitting process at the Prometric exam center, you may reach our specialist team at MYCPE ONE ACADEMY.
