How Will Passed the CPA Exam Studying Only 90 Minutes a Day


Listen Later

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Will was able to pass the CPA exams, first try, by studying 90 minutes each weekday. Will locked his studying in each morning and passed each exam in about 8 weeks. He made sure to always review what he had previously studied each day, otherwise it didn't feel like a complete study session.

Will was even able to take a long break between two exams when his son was born, but still came back and finished, again, without failing any exams. In fact, his scores improved with each exam! This is a fantastic episode with a lot of great tips, so make sure you listen all the way through to learn how Will was able to be so successful.
