Varsity Tutors can help out those looking for San Diego CPA exam prep. The CPA exam is administered to prospective entry-level Certified Public Accountants to test them on the skills they need to know in order to practice public accountancy. In order to obtain a CPA license, you need to have the three E's: Education, Examination, and Experience. The CPA exam is the Examination part. All 55 US jurisdictions in the US require that you pass the CPA exam in order to get a license. Professional San Diego CPA exam preparation can help you prepare for this important step.
What topics will I learn about in my CPA Exam prep?
The CPA exam has four sections. In order to pass, you must get a score of 75 percent correct or higher. You must also complete all four sections within an 18-month window.
You will be allotted four hours to complete each section. The Auditing and Attestation section will have 72 questions and nine task-based simulations. The Business Environment and Concepts section will have 62 questions, four task-based simulations, and three written communication tasks. The Financial Accounting and Reporting section will have 66 questions and nine task-based simulations. The Regulation section will have 76 questions and nine task-based simulations. Most questions will be presented to you in a multiple choice format.
How can I benefit from taking a San Diego CPA exam prep course?
Whether you studied at San Diego State University, the University of San Diego, or another university in the area, you've put a lot of effort into your studies. Taking a San Diego CPA exam prep class can help you brush up on what you learned throughout your school years. It can help you find gaps in your knowledge which you missed out on during class.
Our virtual classes take place over the internet so you will not have to leave the comfort of your home. You can even take the class in your office or at another location that works for you. However, you will still get all the benefits of studying together with other students under the tutelage of a trained professional. You will be able to interact with the teacher and the other students in the class just as if you were in the same room together.
Your instructor can administer practice tests to help you get used to finishing a certain number of questions when faced with a time limit. They can also give you advice on how to pace yourself when taking the test so that you do not run out of time. If you want additional time to go over certain topics, such as business law or federal taxation of entities, you can request private one-on-one time with your class instructor.
Some students prefer to study with a private San Diego CPA exam tutor. Studying with a private mentor can give you the opportunity to go at the pace which you feel most comfortable with. You won't have to worry about slowing down other students in your class. Some students may even find that a class moves too slowly for them and that they can cover more ground in a shorter amount of time. You can also have more control over the content of your study sessions when you study with a private instructor. For example, you can skip over topics such as state governments or federal taxation of property transactions if you already have a good grasp of them. This way, you can spend more time on topics you have difficulty understanding, such as select transactions or federal taxation of individuals.
You can meet your private tutor over the internet using our Live Learning Platform. This will offer you a lot of flexibility and convenience. You can use our virtual whiteboard to enhance your studies and our video chat to interact with your instructor as if you were in the same room. If you prefer meeting with your tutor in person, this can be arranged as well. You can meet with your tutor one-on-one at your home or another convenient location.
