"Surgent CPA Review, launched in 2016 as the first adaptive learning program for CPA Exam preparation, has achieved unparalleled success in regards to student pass rates...So how has Surgent CPA helped more students pass the CPA Exam?

The course is fully built based on artificial intelligence that enables personalization for each student study. "
