An educational consultant at Varsity Tutors can help you pursue a career in accounting by enrolling you in an online course or matching you with a Sacramento CPA Exam tutor. CPA prep options are designed for both college students and working professionals who are interested in the accounting field. The exam covers topics you may have studied at the University of California, the University of California-Davis, or another school in the metropolitan area. It's important for you to review for the CPA Exam before the big day, and you can do that with assistance from a Sacramento CPA Exam prep course or a private educator.
What will be covered during Sacramento CPA Exam prep?
The Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, also known as the CPA Exam, is a test that prospective accountants need to take in order to practice public accountancy. It's a component of the three E's (Education, Examination, and Experience) that are required to obtain a license to work as an accountant in the United States. All 55 jurisdictions in the country mandate the successful completion of the Uniform CPA Exam. The test has four sections: Auditing & Attestation, Business Environment & Concepts, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Regulation. Each section has a four-hour time limit, and you need a score of 75 or higher on all of them to pass.
In a Sacramento CPA Exam preparation session, you can go over the test's content, layout, and timing. Part of the exam is comprised of task-based simulations, which you have two hours and 30 minutes to answer. You may be worried about getting all of them right. However, you don't lose points for answering any of the task-based simulations incorrectly; you only receive points for correct answers. Your instructor might encourage you to guess since there's no penalty for guessing.
What are the benefits of the different types of CPA Exam prep?
We can connect you with online courses and personal instruction. You're free to sign up for one or both options. Each program has its perks, and both of them are led by test prep professionals. Learn more about these exam preparation options below.
Do you enjoy working with other students? Then you may like a Sacramento CPA Exam prep class. Lessons take place through our Live Learning Platform, a platform that provides video chat and a virtual whiteboard for you to communicate with your fellow pupils and teacher. Together, you and your peers can collaborate to review topics like business law and select transactions. If you're highly knowledgeable about a certain subject, you can share your expertise with others to help them and vice-versa. You can also ask for private help from a teacher on anything that has you befuddled.
On the other hand, you may prefer working one-on-one with an academic mentor. One-on-one settings make it easier to concentrate since each session involves only you and your instructor. Though you're interested in pursuing an occupation in accounting, you may be undecided about what type of accounting you want to specialize in. A tutor can try to inspire some ideas by providing you with books or websites that provide information detailing various accounting niches. If your idea of a fun summer vacation is studying for a test, a private educator is more than happy to accommodate that. These instructors can help you prepare during the school year or summer break. Do you sometimes get test anxiety, even if you know the exam by heart? A mentor can attempt to quell your nervous feelings by sharing different relaxation techniques. You have the option of meeting with a personal instructor online or in person. Online sessions occur via the Live Learning Platform, allowing you to associate with a private teacher through your preferred device. In-person sessions can take place at your home or the local library.
I like these exam prep options. How do I sign up for Sacramento CPA Exam prep?
We can connect you with a tutor, enroll you in a class, or get you started with both. Both programs offer flexible scheduling and virtual access. We pride ourselves in the fact that we can set you up with these conveniences so that you can study while making time to tend to the other obligations in your life. There are two ways you can contact a Varsity Tutors representative. You can either send a message through our website's contact form or dial the number to talk with someone. If you're ready to begin a Sacramento CPA Exam prep session, then reach out to us today.

You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.
