October 2017 Student of the Month: Justin Anthony

Why did you take Roger CPA Review?

I decided to use Roger CPA Review because they were able to bring to life the material that we as candidates have to study for such a grueling exam. The mnemonics continue to help me in my public accounting work even after finishing the exams because they are so practical.

How did you hear about our review course?

I heard about the review course through an old coworker of mine. He told me about the lectures and in the year that we worked together, he passed all four sections on his first try!

What was your favorite aspect of the course?

It’s gotta be Roger’s lecturing style. I’ve only seen a handful of people that can be so energetic when describing the differences in attestation engagements.

Roger’s humor is also great – if you’re groaning at a bad joke he made, then you’ll definitely remember the material he made the joke about. It also feels like having a personal mentor rooting for you the whole time.

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

As most candidates will say, it is definitely a huge relief to have the exams out of the way. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is also just the beginning of what I hope is a rewarding career. The free time is nice too!

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

Repetition was key for me. After answering enough of the practice questions, I felt like I had a really good sense of what the questions were really asking on the exam.
