Frog Legs

So far I have taken 3 of the 4 CPA exams. I passed two of them, FAR and BEC. The third, AUD, I have not received results for, but I feel ok about the test. Not great, but I think there is a reasonable chance I passed it.

I am scheduled to take the 4th exam in six days, this coming Saturday. I think I should do ok and pass the test. After that, I won’t have anything to study at all for a few weeks until school starts again.

For study materials I chose to use Gleim. I reviewed a number of them and felt Gleim to be the best option for me. My main criteria was a study system which would provide plenty of tools for self-study. I did not want to take any classes. Gleim offers self-test software, books, an online learning system and audio lectures. There was another company who I was also leaning toward for self-study (don’t recall the name right away) but I chose Gleim because the other company didn’t publish their own books, Gliem does. Finally, Gleim was competitive on price, an important point for me.

So far of the results I have received, I passed 2/2 tests. I feel the Gleim books have been very representative of the three tests I have taken (recall: I have taken 3 but only received two results so far).

So for anyone else looking for a good self-study course, I highly recommend using Gleim whether you buy the books only or the other tools they offer.
