Kimberly Hughes - Madison, WI"CPAexcel was a great invest-
ment. The features offered by CPAexcel were organized in a format that allowed me to study at a pace that worked well with my lifestyle. The different seminars helped me to stay on track, and I was able to allocate my time appropriately to each section. In addition, I felt very comfortable with the layout of the exam and simulations due to the example formats that CPAexcel provided. CPAexcel is a great study tool, and it definitely helped me to achieve my scores on the exam."

"When I was looking for exam review software I was looking for something that I could use whether I was at home or at work with minimum hassle. So, the online capabilities of CPAexcel were very appealing. I also liked the fact that I didn't have to listen to or watch a "seminar" at a scheduled time. I graduated from college five years ago and was very happy with the content of the study text in this software. I simply went through each section, read the text, answered each proficiency and exam question and then moved on to the next section after I got a minimum score of 90% on the questions for that section. I passed all of my first three exams and am awaiting the score on my fourth."

"I can't begin to describe the feeling of accomplish-ment in being able to study for the exam, take it, and pass it in less than six months. CPAexcel made it possible for a middle-aged dog to learn new tricks."

David Cowan"CPAexcel helps me to study more product-
ively. I like the structured format of the CPAexcel textbooks. Each topic that is covered is broken down into a clear and manageable outline, followed by a set of proficiency questions. After reading, using the computer software lets me focus in on the areas where I need the most help."

Megan Light"CPAexcel played in a key role in my success on the CPA exam and enabled me to pass all four sections with scores of 90 and above! I spent a large amount of time using the exam simulator. Practicing on CPAexcel really prepared me for what the real exam would look like. All of the material in CPAexcel was very well organized and allowed me to study efficiently. Since the material was also broken down into small sections, I could really focus on my weakest areas. This software really made studying for the CPA exam as painless as possible. I would recommend CPAexcel to everyone taking the CPA exam!"

"CPAexcel was an exceptional training tool in preparing me for the CPA exam. The software helped me become more comfortable with the computer format of the exam, while providing in-depth study material at the same time. I found the simulations center to be extremely helpful. Most CPA candidates are intimidated by the simulation portion of the exam, but I felt more than prepared for these sections by using CPAexcel. I highly recommend this software to all candidates."
