In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Merri went from failing BEC, to passing the exams 4 for 4 once she implemented the SuperfastCPA strategies. She started doing things the "normal" or traditional way of studying, and that led to her failing BEC score, contrasted with passing them all first try once she started using SuperfastCPA.

You'll hear how she made her own giant posters of notes to help her remember information. She was also able to maintain the important things in her life, like exercising, visiting family, and watching her favorite shows. Merri didn't even have to touch her review course textbooks. Merri has a great story and great tips, don't miss this episode!
