Every CPA review course tends to advertise the same selling points – smart/adaptive learning technology, tutoring, video content, textbooks and flashcards… the list goes on. Rather than comparing prices and basic features, try finding a course that matches your learning style.
Ultimately, finding a course that helps you process information the best can help you better retain information and study less. Here’s how Surgent CPA Review helps visual learners excel.
Not only are Surgent’s course features useful to visual learners, our course is also organized in an easy-to-process, visually appealing format.
Here’s the breakdown of visual features that will elevate your study sessions.
After completing your initial assessment, Surgent CPA Review gives you a summary of your progress. See your starting ReadySCORE™, study progress, difficult topics and more in a color-coded dashboard. Dials move from red, to yellow to green as you improve.
Next, your Daily Surge cards will help you easily see what to study each day. Simply choose the tile containing content you’d like to study next.
All the while, your progress updates in real-time dashboards. Review these visual elements to see how much you’ve studied and what’s left to achieve a passing ReadySCORE.
As you answer questions throughout your studies, you are sure to make mistakes. Surgent provides well-placed explanations when questions are answered incorrectly. Relevant textbook material will appear in a sidebar next to the missed question.
As visual learners thrive with reading material, this makes it easy for them to access crucial information at the right time (without leafing through a textbook).
Visual learners excel when they use flashcards to memorize information. Surgent offers both printed and digital flashcards to suit your preferences.
Digital flashcards, located in Surgent’s study companion app, are based on questions you get incorrect. These give you an extra boost with difficult material.
To stay consistent with your study sessions, you’ll have to study on the go at times. As a visual learner, you may prefer using a mobile app where you can picture information on your phone. Seeing questions and videos is likely more appealing to you than listening to a lecture in your car.
While Surgent CPA Review works on mobile devices, our Study Companion App takes it a step further. Quick sessions are available at your fingertips, in the format of videos, flashcards or quiz questions.
Best of all, this app is the only one in the industry that syncs to your course progress. Zero in on the features that are easy to use on your phone and see your progress improve when you get back to your desktop.
When you enter the practice test phase, Surgent will display your results in a dashboard. You will see your score, how much time you spent and weightings based on the actual CPA Exam.
You can also use the recommended study actions, which are easily accessible in this report.
The basic learning styles include visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning. Auditory learners do well with listening to explanations, kinesthetic learners process information with hands-on experience and visual learners best process information that they can see.
Even if you strongly prefer one method, it is beneficial to use a well-rounded mix of all learning styles in your course. According to Life Sciences Education:
“The cognitive theory of multimedia learning builds on the cognitive load theory, noting that working memory has two channels for information acquisition and processing: a visual/pictorial channel and an auditory/verbal-processing channel. Although each channel has limited capacity, the use of the two channels can facilitate the integration of new information into existing cognitive structures.”
You may have already determined that you like to look at infographics and whiteboards to process information. Here are additional signs you are a visual learner.
Here are some basic features that you should look for based on your learning preferences. Again, while it’s important to focus on your primary learning methods, a mix of all these features will give you an edge.
Surgent CPA Review has plenty of features for visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners. Finding content that matches your learning preferences (and helps you retain information quickly) is just one way Surgent saves you time. Study less and pass faster with these features:
