Jason was doing the original method of studying, watching the lectures and reading the textbook then attempting the questions.

Jason was super excited to be on the podcast, so enjoy and make sure you follow his tips!

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Elias went from struggling during multiple periods of his life to pass the CPA exams (and failing each time), to passing all of his exams in a row once he changed his strategies.

Elias found SuperfastCPA around the time he was studying for a FAR retake. He applied some of the strategies he learned from a SuperfastCPA video on retakes, and while he didn't quite pass, his score went up by 30%. At this point he knew he needed to dive in all the way, and from there he passed all his exams using SuperfastCPA. Some big difference makers for Elias were studying in the morning and the questions first approach. There's some good stuff in this interview, make sure you listen all the way through!

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Ricardo was able to go from failing the CPA exam for 12 years, to passing them all in 12 months. He struggled for years to figure out how to pass the exams, but once he started implementing the SuperfastCPA strategies, he had a complete turnaround.

You'll hear how switching to studying in the morning made a huge impact on his ability to be consistent and to learn the material.

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Jordan was able to not only pass the CPA exam, but also pass the CFP exam by using the SuperfastCPA strategies. He never thought he would be able to pass each CPA exam first try, but by applying the right strategies, he did!

It all changed one night when he was up in the middle of the night taking care of his baby. He had YouTube running on his phone, but he happened to be across the room to grab something. A SuperfastCPA ad popped up, but he couldn't skip it like he had done before. He listened through it, it made sense, and the story goes from there. He got SuperfastCPA, changed his study process, and passed the exams.
