Varsity Tutors is happy to help you pursue becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) by setting you up with a Boston CPA exam prep that can help you prepare for test day. Aspiring CPAs are required to fulfill the "Three Es" before they can receive their CPA license. That means they need to receive an education, have experience, and pass the CPA examination. Because of the complex nature of the assessment, however, many people struggle with preparing for the exam. Even some professionals who graduated from top schools like the University of Massachusetts Boston and Suffolk University have struggled with receiving their CPA license. For this reason, you might want to consider furthering your studies with the help of private tutoring or by enrolling in a Boston CPA exam prep course. Let's look at how both these options can help you achieve your professional goals.
What concepts will be covered during the Boston CPA exam prep?
The primary purpose of the CPA exam prep program is to help aspiring CPAs prepare for the tests. This means you can expect to cover a number of topics related to general accounting and working specifically as a CPA. Key concepts like auditing, reporting, and financial accounting are just a few of the topics you'll cover while enrolled in a prep program.
The CPA exam is broken down into four sections, with each section taking approximately four hours to complete. The four sections are: Auditing & Attestation, Business Environment & Concepts, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Regulation. Due to the comprehensive nature of the CPA assessment, the exam sections function more like individual tests rather than parts of a single exam. Each section contains a mixture of multiple-choice questions and task-based simulations, and the Business Environment & Concepts segment has a written communication assessment as well. Participating in a CPA prep program gives you the opportunity to review all the important material related to these topics, increasing your chances of performing well on test day.
There's a lot of information to cover for the exam. Learning how to prioritize what to study can be difficult for a lot of people, especially those who aren't used to standardized tests. Fortunately, your exam prep program can help you boost your test-taking strategies as well. A professional CPA instructor can help you by showing you ways to organize your thoughts and manage time more effectively. Many people who have prepared for the CPA exam and other comprehensive standardized tests have benefitted from learning test-taking strategies just as much as they benefited from memorizing key concepts.
What are the benefits of the different types of Boston CPA exam prep?
There are two versions of exam prep that you can register for: private tutoring sessions or virtual classes. Along with helping prepare you for test day, both options also have unique benefits that appeal to different learning styles. Let's take a look at how each program can help you succeed.
Enrolling in a Boston CPA exam prep class provides you with review that follows a structured curriculum taught by a professional instructor. Here, you'll study with classmates over our Live Learning Platform, using tools like video chat and a virtual whiteboard to help you follow along. One advantage of this method of instruction is that it gives you the opportunity to engage in discussions with your peers in addition to working together as a class to work through practice problems and more. Best of all, if you ever find yourself falling behind, you can arrange to meet with the instructor for additional catch-up sessions.
Working with a private Boston CPA exam prep tutor allows you to benefit from a custom-tailored learning experience built specifically for you. With private instruction, you have more control over the direction and pace of your lessons. This means you can spend extra time on concepts like Business Law and Federal Taxation, or anything else you struggle with, while skipping past material you've already mastered. As a result, you're able to use your study time more efficiently while learning from someone who's committed to helping you get ahead.
How can I get set up with Boston CPA exam preparation?
Once you're ready to begin, registering for an exam prep program is quick and easy. Just get in touch with Varsity Tutors and ask for more information about the Boston CPA exam prep. One of our educational advisors can answer any questions you have, and then they can set you up with a qualified tutor or enroll you in an online course devoted to helping people prepare for the exam.
