Summary
It was also determined that there is a point in which students can demonstrate sufficient readiness to take the Exam, and any extra effort will lead to diminishing returns. This combats the misguided perception that attempting exhaustive practice question sessions is necessary to pass. SmartPath reveals to students when they’ve demonstrated the level of competency necessary to pass, ultimately helping them achieve optimum efficiency in their CPA Exam preparation.
Data-Supported Targets
Figure A.
Figures A and B show the SmartPath targets provided to students for Number of Attempted Questions (Figure A) and Score on attempted questions. As you can see, on both accounts, target levels can vary from one course section to the next.
Figure B.
Figures A and B show the SmartPath targets provided to students for Number of Attempted Questions (Figure A) and Score on attempted questions. As you can see, on both accounts, target levels can vary from one course section to the next.

Target points are then integrated into the course platform, informing students of where they stand in comparison to previous students that passed the exam (as seen in Figure C.).
Data Retrieval Schedule
Predictive Targets
Figure D shows a snapshot of SmartPath from within a real student’s Auditing and Attestation (AUD) course. This Analysis by Section demonstrates some of the different states a student can be in while working towards their targets.
Figure D-1.
In AUD 3: Internal Control, the student has met or surpassed both targets and can move on.
Figure D-2.
In AUD 4: Audit Evidence, the student has only met their one target, and are falling short of their Score target.
It is recommended that they revisit the course materials.
Figure D-3.
In AUD 5: Audit Sampling, the student is demonstrating an understanding of the material thus far
but needs exposure to more questions.
Figure D-4.
In AUD 6: Audit Reports, the student has met their Questions Attempted target, but are showing a deficiency in comprehension.
Figure E.
Predictive Targets
When a student is demonstrating low comprehension in a section, we recommend that they revisit
relevant course materials. View Lectures provides easy access to those materials.
Create Test
To further improve comprehension in a section, students can create tests focused on questions
related to that section, strengthening weak areas based on their SmartPath target report.
Figure F.
Overall, these quizzes serve to expose students to the questions needed to reach their targets
in the most efficient way possible, while requiring the least amount of effort.
