The Study Course strategy lets you move through the course materials from A to Z, ensuring a complete review of the entire course. 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. Performance Metrics Performance Metrics are summarized visually and color-coded to help you focus your study time and identify your current level of proficiency.

Each time you'll get new questions and a full report of your scores detailing your strengths and weakness in every topic. Most CPA Exam candidates are nervous before the CPA Exam and it is easy to understand why: You don't know whether you'll answer all the questions in time, how many you'll answer correctly, which parts you should have studied more, and what the CPA Exam is really going to be like. Nervousness can degrade your performance. CPAexcel's Simulated CPA Exams gives you crucial exam experience there is just no other way to get. You'll know exactly what the CPA Exam is like, how to manage your time to answer the maximum number of questions, and how to improve your performance. You'll also boost your comfort and confidence level by experiencing CPA Exam conditions before your official exam day. Our Simulated CPA Exams give you the same type, number and mix of multiple-choice and simulation problems. You use the same time limits, break policies, and the same rules for moving through the sequence of exam material. You'll also have the same on-screen clock ticking down your remaining minutes, and when you are finished each section is weighted and scored differently, corresponding with the actual exam. You can take CPAexcel's Simulated CPA Exams as often as you want. Each time you're given a new random set of exam questions. And after each exam, you'll receive a highly detailed breakdown of your performance per lesson, per exam, and even per the AICPA Exam outline, helping to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.   Final Review Much like a dress rehearsal before going on stage opening night, CPAexcel's Final Review fine tunes your exam performance, diminishes anxiety and boosts your competence and comfort level. The Final Review is included in every CPAexcel course and contains the following components: Exam Tutor - Drill from a library of more than 5,100 past exam questions, based on topic areas, level of detail, difficulty level, questions frequently missed by other students, and new or previously viewed questions. Includes full explanations of right and wrong answers. Simulated CPA Exams - Mirror the actual exam experience down to the number, type, and mix of questions, time limits and break policies. Take the Simulated CPA Exams as many times as you want. Each time you'll get new questions and a full report of your results, highlighting your specific strengths and weaknesses. Here's how it works: After completing the CPAexcel coursework material, review your personal color-coded performance indicators in the course's Table of Contents. Once you see all green performance indicators showing you've achieved a proficiency level of 90% or above, you are ready to use the Exam Tutor to drill on past exam questions. Pick from 50 to 100 questions in the Exam Tutor covering the complete course outline. Take the test and examine your scores. Go back and review any lessons or topics where your scores are low. Use the Exam Tutor to further drill on specific past exam questions by lesson or topic. Once your Exam Tutor scores indicate you've reached proficiency, you are ready to take the Simulated CPA Exams. Schedule a time and a place where you will not be interrupted and take the Simulated CPA Exam, following all exam rules. Review your results, paying close attention to any weak areas where you need further review. Take the Simulated CPA Exam as many times as you like to further perfect your exam performance. Once you've achieved a score of 90% or above—congratulations! You are very likely to pass the actual CPA Exam for that exam review section. The Final Review is essential to complete your CPA Exam preparation. In fact, it can make all the difference in your final score. Most courses do not include a thorough Final Review - or, if they do, they charge you a lot extra. With CPAexcel, it is included for free with every review course.   // // =0)document.write(unescape('%3C')+'!-'+'-') // ]]>
