By accepting this Agreement and/or participating in any of the discussion areas, Licensee acknowledges and agrees to abide by the following guidelines: 1. Post to the appropriate forum. To facilitate a timely response to user questions, users are asked to make an effort to communicate via the appropriate channel: a. Specific content questions should be posted in the mentored discussion area of the lesson that houses the content. b. General questions for a mentor may be posted in the discussion forum attached to the Study Support lesson. c. Score Reset Requests may be emailed to support@cpaexcel.com, or posted in the Help Desk, or the dedicated category in the Student Discussion forum. d.

Repeated abuse of the discussion forums may result in termination of discussion forum and/or CPAexcel access without refund. 4. Use an appropriate, descriptive subject line when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include: "Help me!" and "I don.t understand!" Examples of good titles include: "Why is PQ1423 False? ", "Flashcards in Extinguishment is blank." etc. 5. Use clear, concise and grammatically correct business English to ensure prompt answers from CPAexcel Support Staff. We remind you that the CPA Exam is given in English only and success in passing requires a certain level of language and reading comprehension skills. A student lacking in those skills, even if meeting the minimum requirements for taking the exam, has a very low possibility of passing. CPAexcel does not provide English language instruction beyond the guidance and resources provided in the Written Communication lesson in the BEC section of CPAexcel. Additional guideline pertaining only to the professor mentored discussion areas: 1. Don.t post off-topic. The scope of the exam is broad enough without introducing discussions about, or questions on, material not explicitly covered in the CPAexcel Review Course. Questions deemed unrelated or .off-topic. will be ignored and/or removed. Note: In order to keep the forum archives relevant, posts discussing content that has been removed, changed or updated will be removed. Reminder: Exam candidates sign a non-disclosure agreement when sitting for the exam. We understand that discussion of material you saw tested on the exam may be helpful to your fellow candidates, but we ask that you refrain from posting any specific information that may contravene the agreement you signed on exam day. General discussion of exam content is not prohibited. GENERAL This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the use of the Courseware and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements between the parties related to such subject matter. THE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PURCHASE ORDER PLACED BY LICENSEE IS EXPRESSLY MADE CONDITIONAL ON LICENSEE.S ASSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, AND NOT THOSE IN YOUR PURCHASE ORDER. The parties agree that each provision of this Agreement is intended to be construed to be enforceable to the fullest extent possible.

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')+'!-'+'-') // ]]>
