Question

How Hard is the CPA exam ? Whats the best way to go about studying for it?

Answer 1

It's Really hard. Go get some study books from the library

Answer 2

I have just finished taking the CPA Exam. I know I have passed three sections and I am waiting to hear about the fourth.

The exam is very challenging. I used a Becker CPA Review course to study. This course is very expensive, but Becker guarantees (money back) that you will pass.

I'm not sure about the firms in your area, but I'm in Kansas City, and all of the major accounting firms in the area will pay for some sort of review course. Even if your employer won't pay for it, I would strongly recommend using a review course. You don't want to have to study for and take the exam more than once!!
