If you've been trying to figure out how to structure your Tampa CPA exam prep, Varsity Tutors can help. The Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Exam is one of the pillars of licensure in the industry. You will need to meet the minimum education requirements in order to sit for the test, but you do not have to have work experience prior to the exam.
If you're working on a degree from the University of Tampa or nearby Southeastern University, you may be wondering what the exam entails. There are four sections of the CPA exam. You will be given four hours for each portion, and all parts of the exam must be taken within an 18-month window with a minimum score of 75 percent if they are to be applied towards earning your license. Continue reading to learn more about the CPA exam and some of the preparation options Varsity Tutors can provide access to.
What can Tampa CPA exam prep cover?
Professional CPA exam prep solutions can help you prepare for any of the individual sections of the test. You will need to be familiar with the topics covered by the four individual sections, which include Auditing and Attestation, Business Environment and Concepts, Regulation, and Financial Accounting and Reporting.
The two types of CPA exam prep Varsity Tutors can facilitate are group classes and individual instruction. Let's look at how these two options work.
How can a Tampa CPA exam prep class help me prepare?
A prep class provides you with the expert guidance and resources needed for a comprehensive review of the concepts and topics measured by the CPA exam. Another benefit of taking a class is the peer support that is available. Having a group of people who understand what you're going through as you prepare for this exam and who have similar career goals can be invaluable.
Your class will be led by a skilled teacher who has been rigorously vetted to assure you are working with someone who not only has experience with the test but who is also an effective communicator.
Classes are held in a secure online setting. Online classes have several benefits over traditional classrooms. You will always have a front row seat where you can see and hear your teacher clearly as well as view any resources shared on the digital whiteboard. You won't have to worry about adding a commute time to your prep commitment, and you can begin class from wherever you happen to be as long as you have a reliable internet connection and your digital device. Finally, the cost of professional CPA exam prep resources is more affordable because of the shared setting.
As part of your class, there are many topics which you can review. Some of these include assessing risk, reporting, economic concepts, information technology, financial reporting, select transactions, ethics, federal taxation of property transactions, federal taxation of entities, and other items covered on the CPA exam.
How is working with a Tampa CPA exam tutor different from taking a course?
Private instruction offers you a completely customizable experience while a Tampa CPA exam prep course provides a more systematic approach. Your personal instructor can take the time to discover your learning style, your testing goals, academic weaknesses, and any areas covered on the CPA exam with which you struggle. This information is then leveraged to create a unique learning path to help you work to prepare for the exam more efficiently.
When you work with a personal instructor, you can focus on as few or as many concepts per session as are comfortable for you. For some topics, you may need more help, while others require only a brief overview. The beauty of working one-on-one with a teacher is the ability to move at your own pace.
Your personalized Tampa CPA Exam preparation can cover developing a planned response, obtaining evidence, corporate governance, economic analysis, financial management, operations management, standard-setting, business law, federal taxation of individuals, professional responsibilities, and other items covered on the various sections of the CPA exam.

Whether you want to enroll for one of the upcoming prep courses or you want to be connected with an experienced personal instructor, there is something for everyone.
