As we adjust to our new normal with the Covid-19 pandemic, it's been a struggle for CPA candidates to stay focused on studying. NTSs are expiring and we're approaching the 2nd quarter testing window on top of dealing with the #QuarantineAndChill life that Covid-19 has created.
So how do you stay focused? It's hard to study anyway, let alone in this environment. Add to that a house full of spouses and kids who constantly need something from us. Or instead of partners and kids you're struggling with this indefinite party-of-one life that has you isolated from family and friends.
Whatever your situation, this episode shares some things to think about as we hunker down and wait for the coronavirus to pass:

If you're overwhelmed with study materials or need extra coaching to get you ready for exam day, consider enrolling in a CPA exam coaching program. My students get support & guidance in learning material, access to retired CPA exam questions, and private coaching sessions to talk through exam day jitters. The Winston CPA Exam Coaching Program is the first and only comprehensive CPA review course created by a black woman.
