If you're studying for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination, Varsity Tutors can help you prepare by setting you up with a Boulder CPA exam prep program. This CPA exam is a four-part assessment that covers all the procedures, policies, and general information you need to know when working as an accountant. It's also part of the "Three Es" requirement, which states you need education, examination, and experience in order to receive your CPA license. The road to becoming a CPA is long and challenging. There are a number of topics you'll be assessed on before you can begin your CPA career. Even finance and accounting students enrolled in top institutions like the University of Colorado at Boulder or the nearby University of Denver can struggle with this exam. There's a lot of information to cover, and prioritizing what you need to review can be overwhelming for some. Fortunately, you can reduce some of the test-day jitters by working with a private tutor or enrolling in a Boulder CPA exam prep course. Let's look at how these programs can help you.
What concepts will be covered during Boulder CPA exam prep?
You have two options to choose from when registering for CPA exam prep: working with a private tutor or enrolling in an online prep course. Both methods of instruction draw upon different teaching techniques to help you better understand the content, but they both follow the same general principles. The goal of the prep program is to help people prepare for the CPA exam. As such, all of the key concepts covered on the actual test are reviewed during prep as well. This means that you'll be learning about things like the Federal Taxation of Individuals and Entities, Business Law, and how State and Local Governments influence accounting regulations.
The other thing that you can expect from an exam prep program is ways to improve your test-taking skills. The CPA exam is a lengthy standardized test divided into the following four parts: Auditing & Attestation, Business Environment & Concepts, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Regulation. It's better to think of each part of your assessments as an individual exam, however. These exams are taken at different stages and consist of lengthy multiple-choice questions and task-based simulations, and the Business Environments & Concepts test even has a written communication component. You'll be given four hours to complete each part of the assessment, and you must do all four parts within an 18-month window to qualify for your license. If this sounds overwhelming to you, don't worry. By enrolling in a prep program, you'll be able to learn how to mentally and academically prepare for the exam. Your instructor can give you tips to help you boost your time management and organizational skills as well as provide you with valuable insights that can make standardized tests seem less confusing and overwhelming.
What are the benefits of the different types of Boulder CPA exam prep?
Choosing the right exam prep depends largely on your preferred learning style. They both help you study for your CPA license, but in very different ways. If you're someone who enjoys following a structured curriculum, then consider enrolling in a Boulder CPA exam prep class. Here, you'll study in an online classroom using video chat and virtual whiteboards. The class will be led by a professional instructor who will help with reviewing key concepts, but what's really great about this method of instruction is the collaborative element. As you follow along with the instructor, you'll be given the opportunity to engage in classroom discussions with classmates, where you can solve problems and explore concepts more thoroughly.
If you want a personalized learning experience that's built around your strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning styles, try working with a private Boulder CPA exam prep tutor. This will give you the opportunity to study closely alongside a private instructor, benefitting from detailed explanations and examples that make it easier to grasp and apply various concepts. You can also choose between private lessons online or in person at a location of your choosing.
How can I get set up with Boulder CPA exam preparation?
Registering for a prep program is quick and easy, taking only a couple of minutes out of your day. Simple contact Varsity Tutors and speak with one of our educational consultants about your Boulder CPA exam prep options. They'll answer any questions you have, and if you're ready, they can enroll you in a virtual class or help you find a tutor that can accommodate your busy schedule.

Part of this foundation comes from within, a basic desire to work hard and improve oneself. The second part comes from structure, a game plan on how to reach one's goals. In this aspect every student is unique, and should be treated...
