What makes Surgent CPA Review better than other courses?
We will prepare you for the CPA Exam faster and easier with our A.S.A.P. Technology® - and the numbers speak for themselves. Our students study an average of 89 hours total, while our competitors spend four times that. You’ve already completed your degree in accounting and may even have on-the-job experience, too. There’s a lot you already know, so you don’t need to read every page of text or watch every single lecture. Our program helps you focus your studies on the areas where you need the most review. And ReadySCORE will let you know when you are ready to take the exam.
How long do I have to study for each part?
Our course provides unlimited access to the course materials. However, with our study plan and supporting technology, most students report that they study 89 hours total for all four parts, which is significantly less than competitive course study time averages.
How long do I have access to the course?
Until you pass! And with no additional fees or charges. It is our goal to help you become a CPA, so we will be with you until you pass all four parts of the exam. When life happens and you need to take a break, we make it easy to come back, get refreshed, and get studying. Our customer service team helps students to get back on track at any time.
What is your pass rate?
Students who reach a ReadySCORE of 75 or above in all content areas, topics, and question types achieve a 92% pass rate. All Surgent students (no matter their ReadySCORE) average an 84% pass rate. These pass rates are calculated using exam scores reported by Surgent CPA Review students via a third-party platform.
How often do you update your courses?
We update our course as often as weekly when standards or regulations change, and all of these updates are available in your online course no matter when you purchase the course.
What is A.S.A.P Technology?
A.S.A.P. Technology (which stands for Adaptive Study, Accelerated Performance) is a proprietary adaptive learning technology that we built into our software so that it can quickly reveal your unique areas of need and automatically create a customized study plan that focuses on where you need the most help. A.S.A.P. Technology reduces study time while making the time you do spend more effective. As part of the technology, all text, questions, and video lectures are integrated to help you master exam topics with ease—no matter your learning style. More info on adaptive learning is available here.
How does A.S.A.P. Technology compare to other courses’ adaptive learning approach?
An adaptive course should automatically update based on your progress, like ours. You shouldn’t have to manually change your study schedule or what you study on any given day. With Surgent, each candidate is on a custom learning path. No student is alike—so no course is either.
What is a ReadySCORE?
ReadySCORE, exclusive to Surgent CPA Review, is a measure of a candidate’s CPA Exam readiness. In Surgent’s prep courses, ReadySCORE is presented cumulatively, as well as by content area, topic, and question type (multiple-choice questions, task-based simulations, and written communication questions). Surgent’s adaptive software A.S.A.P. Technology uses a candidate’s ReadySCORE to generate study materials targeted to those weaker areas of performance. Learn more about ReadySCORE here.
What is the cost of your course?
The Surgent CPA Review course is available by individual section (at a price of $599 per part) and also as a full 4-part course, with packages ranging from $1,599 to $2,999. Make sure to check if you qualify for any of our discounts or promotions.
What is included with each course?
Our 4-part Surgent CPA Review Essentials Pass course includes more than 350 video lectures, 7,700 multiple-choice questions, 400 task-based simulation questions, including previously released AICPA CPA Exam questions, along with thorough explanations, customized study notes for each lecture, a study planner, an eBook, and embedded references.
Premier Pass includes everything in the Essentials Pass PLUS printed textbooks, printed flash cards, and premier support from a 1:1 dedicated exam coach.
Ultimate Pass, our highest-tier product, includes everything in Premier Pass, as well as an integrated test bank with 1,000 additional multiple-choice questions, ultimate customer support with answers guaranteed within one business day, and an audio course.
