All CPAexcel courses include the Core Study Materials module which contains the following components:
Diagnostic Exams
Quickly discover your strengths and weaknesses in every subject area before you begin to study. Each of CPAexcel's bite-sized lessons includes a Diagnostic Exam which indicates your current knowledge level in that area. Using the Diagnostic Exams you can determine which subjects you have already mastered, and where you need to focus your study time for the greatest score improvement.
Electronic Study Text
Over 3,000 pages of exam-targeted study text written by professors at some of the top accounting schools in the country (UT Austin, Northern Illinois, CSU Sacramento).
Proficiency Questions
Over 4,200 questions designed to 'Quiz' and test your reading comprehension and basic subject knowledge. Set yourself up for success by assessing your basic knowledge before tackling exam questions. No other review course offers Proficiency Questions.
Past Exam Questions
Over 4,000 AICPA exam questions with full rationales explaining precisely why each choice is either wrong or right.
Electronic Flashcards
More than 2,800 electronic flashcards cover crucial testing points in each exam section. Created by former CPAexcel student Christine Howard who was the first person in history to get a perfect score on all four exam sections on the first try. We continue to update Christine's cards regularly for our students. Perfect for quickly reinforcing and testing your knowledge in all exam areas.
Simulations
25 full 40 to 50 minute simulations delivered through an exact replica of the user interface you will encounter on the exam.

Online Peer Discussion Groups
Ask questions and discuss coursework with fellow self study students using CPAexcel's topical online discussion groups. The discussion groups are integrated into the lesson overview for easy access to the topics you would like to discuss.
Performance Metrics
Interactive links between exams, grades, results, rationales and overall performance keep you involved and motivated. Performance is summarized in a visually intuitive color-coded scheme which helps you focus your study time and identifies your current level of proficiency.

- The Diagnostic Exams strategy provides an initial assessment of your knowledge by pulling a random sampling of past exam questions.
- The Exam Tutor strategy allows you to build a custom exam by choosing how many questions you wish to see, what subjects they cover and whether you have seen them before.

"CPAexcel was the greatest investment I have ever made. It helped me pass the exam with the least study time. The material is organized in a very efficient way, which allowed me to focus on the topics one at a time. If you work full time and do not have large blocks of time for study, CPAexcel would be perfect for you."
"CPAexcel is the only material I used to prepare for the exam, and I have passed on the first attempt for 3 sections so far. I recommend CPAexcel because I can study at work or at home. The material is organized and divided into convenient sections. The combination of text and practice questions for each topic help reinforce and identify where I need to concentrate my studies."
