Never become nervous about exams but hold the courage to overcome them! Do not procrastinate, but fix your goals as you prepare for CPA exams. Contemplate your career dream after you complete CPA. Try to score high in IFRS and US GAAP and carry home a globally recognized qualification to fuel your career graph. The only mantra to get this certificate is to learn, read, and practice!

Participation and Networking are more important in your learning path. Your interactions with peers and fellow learners can give your career a sharp edge, hence maintain positive social interactions. Social interactions are the safest valve to express your academic concerns and find impressive solutions to them. Moreover, it may help you in identifying your strengths and weaknesses to stand out from the rest.

A collaborative approach is one of the best methods that US Certified Public Accountants have been following at Miles for over a decade now. They have been an integral part of Miles (India’s largest CPA/CMA review institute) and also a prime contributor to our growing Alumni pool, attracting new crowds and helping aspirants to mindfully prepare for the exam.

The CPA exam practice made it perfect!

There is no secret spice to success. Often BEC is thought of as an easier subject to start, but that doesn’t give you a wild card to go unprepared. It’s advised to have fixed study hours each day and keep revising the concepts. The more you practice, the better you get at applying them in real-time. And once it surfaces, it becomes easy to recall at the d-day. Deepanshu Sethi- Miles CPA Alumni, says, “Stick to the concept and try to solve the provided tests from cover to cover. And, try taking a mock test before the final trial.”

Being critical about the CPA concepts

Test-takers often complain about one or two mark margin; by which they have missed out to reach the 75%. It is common to lose marks on concept-based questions, either for lack of clarity or compensation of the questions asked. Sumit Harchandani says,“ Particularly while answering essay-type questions, time is not the limiting factor. Rather you require to get the concept right. Before you proceed, you should always read the questions thoroughly — realize what they want. Getting the ideation out of the way, you can complete it within an hour.”

Tejas Gadiyali echoes this thought, saying “People with years of experience in serving this” sector are more likely to pass CPA. If you have to understand the real financial market in accounting taxation, you can correlate better and earn it faster.”

Scoring on Simulations

One of the most dreaded segments of the exam is to drill down your concepts to answer them. There is a real easy way to have perfection at solving simulations — by practicing subject-focused MCQs. After reading the topic, solving MCQs helps you build your reasoning and solving capability. Akhilesh C. H adds, “ The only thought I had during my preparation was to make sure not to skip any question, be it simulations, WCTs, or MCQs. I made sure to go over each and every question at least once”.

Get your smart-pass

‘Study smart’- easier said than done, right! Well, it’s not that difficult. Few tips and tricks. You are all set to win the race. Charts, infographics, mind maps, and flashcards can be your go-to start. Whereas mnemonics work wonders to memorize the concepts better. Nihar Khanzode views, “Throughout Varun Jain’s lecture sessions, he comes up with mnemonic systems which helped a lot to memorize the concepts and crack the exam”.

Taking control of time

Think exam is your playground, where your target is to reach the 75 marks goal deploying all the tricks and skills. If you do not understand a question, quickly move on to the next. Keep answering the confident ones and spend time on challenging ones later. Arti Choraria, mentions, “While I was preparing, my target was to solve a certain number of MCQs every day to keep up with the pace. Each time I used to speed practice on how fast I was able to solve the questions. This habit helped me at the exam big time and it never took me more than 1.5 hours to finish each CPA subject.”
