On Campus Option - Course Materials
Students will have access to CPAexcel's course materials and learning tools with the most up-to-date study text, video lectures, professor mentoring, textbooks and more:
Exceptionally high quality academic content centered on passing the CPA Exam
The content of all CPAexcel courses is authored and presented by a top team of CPA Exam review course professors in the country. In addition, CPAexcel's content includes over 5,000 past CPA Exam questions and over 3,000 electronic flashcards. All content for each section of the CPA Exam is organized into "Bite-Sized LessonsSM" that typically can be mastered in a short time period, e.g. a lunch break.
State-of-the-art learning and course management software
CPAexcel enables students to learn about 25% more per study hour due to the unique architecture of its software. Each "bite-sized lesson" provides one-click access to any learning tool, e.g. Video Lectures, Study Text, Past Exam Questions and more. Its Efficient Learning System™ also collects comprehensive metrics during the study process to provide instant feedback to the student and on-demand feedback to instructors.
Instructors may conduct CPA Exam review courses using CPAexcel's content "as is". Instructors may also create new courses unrelated to CPA Exam preparation by selecting lessons from among the 500+ included "Bite-Sized LessonsSM", as well as adding their own digital content. CPAexcel's platform also includes other features necessary to conduct courses, e.g. enroll students, mentor students, conduct exams, automatic grading, and access to detailed metrics on student performance via electronic grade books.
Unmatched flexibility in course scheduling and delivery options
CPAexcel's software enables each student to study on a schedule personalized to her or him, to invite one or more other students to study on the same schedule, and create a Private Study Group with online discussions among its members. These features also enable course managers to create student sub-groups to fit the needs or desires of their student body. For example, student sub-groups could be created for an alumni class, for a group of current students, and for a group of staff members at a local CPA firm.
The above features would facilitate providing a blended learning CPA review course in which different affinity groups study online separately from each other but join together weekly on campus to review problems that have given group members a lot of difficulty.
Proven record of student success on the CPA Exam
The effectiveness of CPAexcel's content and learning tools is demonstrated by the record of student success on the CPA Exam. Since 2004, 87% of the students who completed a CPAexcel course passed the CPA Exam. According to the AICPA, the national average pass rate for the same period was 47%. Details

"... clear and concise explanations of matters that had previously seemed much more complex to me."
"I relied on CPAexcel to refresh my memory on individual taxation issues and to educate me on entity-related tax issues. The U.S. federal tax code encompasses so many topics, yet I was pleasantly surprised to see that CPAexcel had boiled the main topics down to a relatively small number of study units. The study units themselves were manageable in length and logically organized. They contained clear and concise explanations of matters that had previously seemed much more complex to me."

"... CPAexcel held my interest and helped me to relate the topics to one another."
"CPAexcel's self study product is great! The product allowed me to study on my own time and gave me the confidence that I needed for the real exam. Unlike several CPA textbooks that I tried, CPAexcel held my interest and helped me to relate the topics to one another. As a result, I was able to not only just memorize facts but also learn and build upon the accounting knowledge that I already had. This helped me tremendously when I was faced with unfamiliar questions on exam day. CPAexcel is a large reason why I was able to earn 89 on FAR, 89 on BEC, 82 on REG, and 98 on AUD on my first try! If you are still working on passing the CPA Exam , hang in there. With CPAexcel's help, you will make it. Thank you CPAexcel."
