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. Thank you for taking the time to learn about the new Roger CPA Review
course. Getting your CPA can be overwhelming, but know that you are not alone. Join us in
this next generation of CPA review, and we can all celebrate in your success, together.
