Welcome to the new Roger CPA Review course, the only full service solution to passing
the CPA Exam.
Today, I will walk you through the re-vamped and fully integrated online course that will
change the way students prepare for the most important exam of their lives.
Let's get started!
Once in your course, determine which section you would like to start with.
You can easily switch between your AUD, FAR, REG and BEC courses.
Let's say you're getting ready to prep for the FAR exam.
On the top left, you will see the overall percentage of lectures you have viewed in
the FAR course section.
On the bottom left, you'll see a countdown to your exam day.
Once you have scheduled your FAR exam with Prometric Testing Center, you can plug your
exam day into the calendar and a personalized countdown to the big day will begin.
This will help you keep your eye on the prize throughout your study process.
The table of contents lists every chapter and subchapter just as it is laid out in your
course textbook.
Next to each subchapter header, you'll see how many video lectures it contains and how
many of those lectures you have already watched.
The subchapter here is FAR 1, Conceptual Framework.
It contains 6 topic lectures, and in this scenario, you have watched 4 of these.
By clicking on the subchapter header, you can see the full list of video lectures within.
The meter bar shows what percentage of your lecture has been watched.
Here, you've watched 100% of Conceptual Framework Part I, but only 37% of Part II.
To ensure you've learned all of the important details on the topic, you'll definitely want
to watch the rest of the lecture so that your meter is at 100%.
The light bulb feature helps you rate your comfort level with each topic.
A light bulb with 0 beams indicates 0 comprehension.
A light bulb with 7 beams means you have mastered this topic.
This will help you determine where to focus your study time on the final days leading
up to your exam.
You may also notice these 2 icons to the right of your topic name.
The clipboard icon indicates that you have taken notes on this lecture, and the star
icon indicates that you have bookmarked this lecture for review.
All the features we've discussed so far give you the ability to manage your studies and
take control over your success, which is one of the key benefits to the new course.
Now, let's check out a topic.
Today you'll be studying International Financial Reporting Standards.
When you first enter the course viewer, you'll see 3 main windows.
The top 2 windows feature the lecture and the corresponding FAR textbook.
That's right!
Our full textbooks written by Roger Philipp, CPA are now available online and can be accessed
while simultaneously watching his focused, dynamic lectures.
Let's take a quick look!
If you've already viewed a portion of the lecture, you will have the option to resume
from where you left off or re-start from the beginning..."...and like 130, 140 countries
are using it, what they said is, we've got our GAAP and the codification and all the
rules, thick, thick, thick...it's craziness...you know, let's somehow make it easier.
So, what they're trying to do is say, instead of all these specific rules, which GAAP has,
let's have more principles, more judgement.
Well, I've talked to a lot of different PhDs about this and they said, 'Well, you know,
years ago, that's how GAAP was..."
It's easy to switch between book sections, flip pages and zoom in or out of your text.
Keep in mind that you cannot save or print these pages, but that we will always provide
the most up to date information.
Also, your course enrollment still includes physical textbooks, if that is your preference.
The 3rd window is for video bookmarks and notes.
Let's say Roger is teaching a helpful memory mnemonic that you know you'll want to re-visit.
By clicking the 'New Video Bookmark' button, a new bookmark will be created in real time.
This will help you pull up specific video moments and not waste time during review.
Pen and paper are now a thing of the past.
Here, you can easily take and save notes as you go through your text and watch your lectures.
Use the note search function to find a specific note by simply typing in a keyword.
For a closer look at your work in this window, simply zoom in.
The size of the windows on this page can also be increased or decreased to meet your individual
study needs.
Go back to the default view by clicking the 'Reset' button.
Now, let's say you've completed the entire topic.
Before moving on, make sure to rate your comfort level.
From here, it's easy to navigate to the previous topic, the next topic or back to the table
of contents.
As you can see, your table of contents has automatically been updated to reflect all
of the work you completed on this topic.
The best way to really understand the topic is to practice what you've learned.
Your course includes CPA Exam review software to help you do just that.
This features 1000s of multiple choice questions and task-based simulations.
Once in your software, you'll see 3 modes to choose from.
Practice sessions allow you to focus on one specific area.
We recommend using this mode directly after viewing the corresponding topic.
Exam mode allows you to take a full simulation of a CPA Exam part.
This is a great option once you've completed your entire FAR course and want to gauge your
performance for exam day.
Like the actual FAR Exam, the practice exam is 4 hours long.
If you're limited on time, take a pop quiz.
This option allows you to spot check your comprehension level without having to take
a full practice exam.
Well, my friends, that's how you use the new Roger CPA Review course to study.
Watch your lecture.
Follow along in your book.
Take notes.
Bookmark for review and ultimately rate your comfort level, then practice, practice and
repeat for each topic.
With so many topics to cover, it's important to have a plan of action and stick to it.
For this reason, we've included the ultimate management tool, study planners.
Choose between the 3, 6, 9 or 12 month study planner to map out each day leading to your
exam.
This includes specific lectures, study homework time and days off.
Each planner can be customized to fit your study needs.
Now you are ready to rock the CPA Exam.
