In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Ricardo was able to go from failing the CPA exam for 12 years, to passing them all in 12 months. He struggled for years to figure out how to pass the exams, but once he started implementing the SuperfastCPA strategies, he had a complete turnaround.
You'll hear how switching to studying in the morning made a huge impact on his ability to be consistent and to learn the material. He also loved listening to the audio notes, and had multiple times where he listened to them on long drives from California to Arizona and back. Again, Ricardo completely turned around his studying once he started using SuperfastCPA, so pay close attention to the changes he made!
