Roger CPA Review

6 Month Suggested Study Plan - Focused Review

Finish all 4 CPA Exam Sections in two testing windows!
How to plan with the 6 month planner:
Pick a 6 month period that begins with one of the CPA Exam testing window blackout months:
March, June, September or December

Because each month of the year varies in length, make sure to begin your study process on a day that will
accommodate all desired test dates.

Schedule your exams in advance in order to ensure youll be able to test on desired days.
If you miss a day, make it up! Veering too far off of the schedule could keep you from reaching your exam goal.

How to study with the 6 month planner:

The Online and USB courses include over 100 hours of lecture, and are broken down by topic. The planner includes
which topics to view each day, and the estimated amount of study/homework time that will follow. As a general
rule, you can expect to spend 2-3 hours of study/homework for every hour of lecture. On days that cover multiple
topics, complete study/homework time for one topic before moving onto the next

Roger suggests studying each day in this order:

Watch the lectures

Read through the accompanying chapter in the textbook
Complete any multiple choice or simulation questions assigned at the end of the chapter
Complete the accompanying homework from the homework book and homework software.
Check your answer to each question before moving onto the next question. Its important to track your areas of
difficulty so that you can focus your efforts accordingly during your final review.

*Keep in mind that you are not expected to do great or even well on the homework the first time through, and part
of going through the homework will help you learn the concepts.

Get Ready for a Challenge!

This program is especially designed for CPA Candidates that are willing to submit their lives to the CPA
Exam for the next six months. This is a very achievable goal if you put the required time into your studies!
