Look at the way you learn best and then pick a course which gives you the study tools you need and is cost effective. CPAexcel (www.cpaexcel) has more study tools than any other course and allows you to pick the ones which will support the way you learn best. This way, you aren’t paying for study aids which you don’t need. Smart? Yes.

2. Researchers at the National Training Laboratories in Bethel, Maine, found that:
CPAexcel gives you active learning (you can drill with over 5,700 past CPA Exam questions and get instant feedback) and interactive learning (Online Student Discussions on each lesson, a small part of each section) and Professor Mentoring–you can get help any time you wish and participate in professor-led discussions.
CPAexcel is:
1. about 1/2 the cost of Becker
2. has a pass rate of 87% since 2004
3. NEVER charges extra for electronic updates to software and content–you get unlimited updates until you pass, whenever that is. One student has been with CPAexcel since 2002 survived a family crisis, Hurricane Katrina AND recently passed her 4th. section. Other courses would have charged her $500 per section every 18 months to keep going. CPAexcel never charged her a dime.
Add it up! CPAexcel is great way to go!
And, get the exam done now before life intervenes. Much easier that way! 🙂
