"CPAexcel's material gives you everything you need to know in order to score well on the exam. I did not come across a single topic on any of the exams that was not covered in some way in the course material. CPAexcel even prepared me for material that I was not familiar with through college courses or work. While there are many prep courses available, none combine the volume of course material and easy to learn interface with the value found with CPAexcel. CPAexcel gives you all the tools you need to succeed, you just need to put in the time and effort!"

"Being a Canadian Certified General Accountant (CGA), I needed first of all a course format that would enable me to identify and cover inevitable gaps between US and foreign training. CPAexcel did an excellent job for me. I found it truly amazing how the authors compressed volumes of professional standards and legislation into manageable pools of basic points and fundamental concepts without compromising the complexity of the subjects. Proficiency exercises and past exam questions gave me an opportunity to build on these basics through extensive practice which greatly enhanced the retention of material."

"Passing the CPA exam was easier using CPA Excel materials and Simulations. The way the ideas are organized really helped me to understand the subjects and know how should I think and how to take the exam. I want to thank CPAexcel for the great assistance, materials and simulations that helped me to pass the CPA exam in February 2005."
Information Sources and Specific Content
The information in the Online Library is authored by active professors at leading accounting colleges in the U.S. The content includes answers to questions that appeared in actual past CPA Examinations and from professors' answers to questions asked by CPAexcel students during the course of their studies over the past few years. The Library includes about 2,500 pages of descriptive and explanatory material and 10,000 correct answers to questions plus explanations of correct and incorrect answers.
Additional Service for Guided Seminar Subscribers
Library subscribers who have ordered a complete set (4 exam parts) of CPAexcel's Guided Seminars may not only search the Library contents but may also address clarifying questions to the CPAexcel team of subject-expert professors who normally respond to such questions within 24 hours. This question/answer process is conducted via email using a CPAexcel Message Center. Subscribers should expect answers only to questions that seek to clarify the content that appears in the Library; they should not expect answers to questions that seek information exceeding the scope or detail of the information that appears in the Library.
Continuing Access to the Library Content
In the past, when CPAexcel students passed the CPA exam their permissions to use CPAexcel and its content were discontinued. Now, students who have passed the exam may continue to use the content by subscribing to the Library. Library subscriptions are manifested by permission to use the search function.
Students who have not yet passed the exam and who are also Library subscribers may use the content until they pass the exam or their subscription expires, whichever date is later. If their subscription expires and is not renewed before they pass they lose the right to use the search function but not the right to use the content to study for the exam.
General
The current content of the CPAexcel Online Library ("Library") consists of the information used to conduct the CPAexcel CPA Exam Review Courses. The scope and depth of this information is designed to comply with the AICPA Content Specifications for the CPA Exam and is, therefore, what CPAs are required to know. At a later date or dates, additional content might be added to the Library.
The Library includes a broad scope of information covering subjects such as Financial Accounting and Reporting, Auditing, Law, Taxation, Regulation, and Business Environment and Concepts. The means to simultaneously search such a broad scope of information is a key strength of the Library.
The CPA Exam emphasizes the testing of concepts, principles and factual knowledge. Therefore the content of the Library has this same emphasis. Detailed "how to apply" instructions and examples are sometimes included in the Library, particularly for complex problems. However, as a general rule, Library users should not expect to find such instructions and examples.
The CPA Exam normally tests candidates' knowledge of changes and new developments starting six months after their effective date. The Library content will generally include change information sooner, in order to allow students to learn about the changes before they are tested. Nonetheless, Library users should expect that information on very recent changes will not appear in the Library.
