Why did you take Roger CPA Review?

After a marathon 5 month effort to pass FAR in Oct 2015, I found the process a very time consuming, exhausting and lonely experience. I wanted a little more “push” in preparing for the next 3 exams, so I selected Roger. I soon validated my decision: with Roger, I passed AUD after a 6 week crash program. Better yet, I increased my score 5 points on the third and another 5 points on the fourth exam! I wish I had used Roger CPA for FAR! I even considering redoing FAR so I could study the Roger materials, but like Roger says “I don’t think so!”


How did you hear about our review course?

I got a recommendation from someone using Roger. Also, I saw many of Roger’s YouTube videos, one of which I watched repeatedly (while studying for FAR) to motivate myself.


What was your favorite aspect of the course?

That’s easy. Roger’s delivery style. His knowledge, ability to communicate the material in a very down-to-earth and human way, and his passion for the material were of tremendous benefit. The humor helped a lot too.


How has passing the exam affected your personal and professional life?

Successfully navigating the Uniform CPA Exam process is a 3-D experience (requiring Discipline, Dedication and Determination). It certainly improves one’s memory! The other side of the exam experience is a wonderful place and a lifetime achievement! I’ll proudly wear the Roger CPA shirt anywhere!


What piece of advice do you have for other CPA Exam candidates?

A big thank you to my “CPA Guardian Angel”, Roger Phillip and the whole team. I’m still in awe of how much I learned! I’m really satisfied that I took on this “impossible” challenge and passed. Having the support of my family, friends and CPA mentors, and an excellent program such as Roger made success a reality for me.
