If you've been looking for quality Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep and haven't found the right option, Varsity Tutors is here to help. The Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, or CPA, is an exam which was created to assess a CPA candidate's ability to competently perform the tasks and duties required of entry-level public accountants. The knowledge you'll be evaluated on can range from financial management to business law. You'll want to review the skills and material you are expected to have learned if you took finance courses in a college such as the University of Pittsburgh or Carnegie Mellon University.
Passing the CPA Exam is a critical step in gaining your CPA licensure and is required in all 55 United States jurisdictions. It is imperative you prepare thoroughly in order to put your best foot forward. The CPA prep provided by Varsity Tutors is an exceptional tool for anyone who feels overwhelmed at the idea of studying for this challenging exam on their own. If you'd like to learn more about the benefits, keep reading.
What skills and topics can be covered during Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep?
The CPA Exam is a complex test with four separate sections: Auditing & Attestation, Business Environment & Concepts, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Regulation. In order to become a CPA, you must receive a score of at least 75 on each section within an 18-month time period. Each section contains between 62 and 76 multiple-choice questions and 4 to 9 task-based simulations. For the Business Environment & Concepts section, there are also three required written responses.
Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep can cover a wide range of concepts, including corporate governance, state and local governments, or select financial statement accounts. You may also want to go over economic concepts and analysis, ethics, professional responsibilities, or federal tax procedures.
What are the different benefits of a Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep course or private instruction?
We are happy to connect you to an online, interactive CPA Exam course or a private CPA Exam instructor. Depending on your learning preferences, one option may work better for you than the other. Let's take a closer look at each option separately.
If you are a social learner who enjoys the environment of a typical educational setting, you may want to enroll in a Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep class. This affords you the opportunity to interact directly with your teacher in a similar manner to a classroom setting. You'll be able to ask questions during your live classes and receive immediate answers. With the virtual format, you won't even need to leave your favorite study spot to get to class. All you need is a computer and a high-speed internet connection. You can also interact with your peers and work on group projects or engage in discussions. Additionally, if you're having a hard time learning or reviewing a particular concept, you can request one-on-one time with your teacher. Our intense vetting process ensures you are getting instruction from an experienced and skilled teacher. New classes begin monthly and are offered in two-week and four-week intervals. We have class times staggered through the day to help you find a session that fits into your established schedule.
If you prefer a less structured setting, working with a private Pittsburgh CPA Exam tutor could be a better choice for you. In a one-on-one setting, your teacher will be able to determine your needs, goals, strengths, and preferred method of learning. With this information, customized lessons can be developed to help deliver content in the most effective manner. For example, if you prefer auditory learning, your instructor can spend time lecturing or provide you with supplemental CPA audiobooks or podcasts. With private instruction, you also have the luxury of moving at the right pace for you. This can be greatly beneficial to anyone who learns more quickly or slowly than the average student.
If both options sound good, you may even wish to sign up for a class and private instruction at the same time. With professional guidance, preparing for this important exam doesn't have to be overwhelming.
How do I get signed up for Pittsburgh CPA Exam preparation?
When you're ready to get started, all you have to do is contact one of our educational directors either online or by phone. We'll answer your questions and help you choose between the prep options so you can begin to work towards your CPA goals. Call Varsity Tutors and get signed up for exceptional Pittsburgh CPA Exam prep opportunities.
