Not only did I finish the test in 3 hours, but I got a 93 on it! Couldn't have done it without you!

Hey Roger. Just wanted to write a quick note and let you know how much I love the course. I just got my score back from my first section FAR. Not only did I finish the test in 3 hours, but I got a 93 on it! Couldn't have done it without you!

p.s. - Loved you on the dating game! :)

I feel your lectures and writing style are exactly what is necessary to pass each part of the exam.

Roger Philipp, I used your study resources in 4 different ways to pass all 4 parts of the exam my first try. For BEC I took your live class in Los Angeles; for REG I just use your books and no lectures; for FAR I used your books and the online CRAM lectures and for AUD I used the USB course lectures. I feel your lectures and writing style are exactly what is necessary to pass each part of the exam. I have since told my co-workers to go to your website and explore their options for studying for the exam. Thank you so much. Chris (soon to be a licensed CPA) Ferris.

I've always worked in healthcare so I have no public accounting or tax experience at all... Take Roger's class, STUDY, and you will PASS!

Hi Roger! I wanna give a HUGE thanks for your wonderful review course. After being out of school for almost 12 years, I never thought I could even attempt to pass the cpa exam. I took your live course in LA and loved your energy and all the hard-to-forget mnemonics. Even my husband had a good laugh when flipping through the pages! FYI - I've always worked in healthcare so I have no public accounting or tax experience at all. You are so right that this is not an IQ exam, but a discipline exam. Take Roger's class, STUDY, and you will PASS!

As much as I will miss seeing you and the Sunday's donuts, I'm so happy the exam is over! Kudos also to your wonderful staff who are always prompt in responding to emails and online questions!!

Hello Roger,

I wanted to thank you for putting together a great review program. It was flexible enough to meet my working schedule and robust enough to teach me exactly what I needed to know for the exams. I listened to all your advice and I passed all four parts on my first try all within nine months.

Thank you Roger.

Everyone… was always helpful, professional, and prompt in responding …

Roger & Crew

Thanks - excellent courses & organization as a whole. I took a mix of live & on-line classes after being out of school for a few years (I was a finance major, not accounting by the way)and passed each section of the CPA exam on the first attempt. I really don't think that would not have been possible had I not taken your courses. Everyone I came in contact with at RogerCPA was always helpful, professional, and prompt in responding to questions/requests.

The course is very thorough and helpful.

I am from Hong Kong and I have been in the U.S. for 2 years. My degree is not in accounting. English is my second language. I took the Roger CPA Review course and passed all four exams on the first try with scores of 93, 87, 85, and 83, while working full time. The course is very thorough and helpful. I spent 4 and 1/2 months studying for the first exam and 1 month for the last, and finished all in 9 months.

Roger Philipp knows how to help you pass your CPA exam with no sweat.

Roger Philipp knows how to help you pass your CPA exam with no sweat. I started taking my exams in August 2008 and passed them all in one try by January 2009. And my lowest score was an 84!

Roger knows how to present the material in an amazing way that helps you learn the material that you need to know. He taught sections that I struggled with in college that became my strongest sections on my exam.

Not only is Roger's material the best but he prepares you for the actual test by giving you a step-by-step approach to tackle the big test.

I whole heartedly recommend Roger to all of my coworkers, they see how well it worked for me so where can you go wrong!!

Thanks Roger, you helped make my dream a reality.

I never really understood tax until I took Roger's course and it put everything into perspective.

Hello everyone at Roger CPA Review!

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that I have passed REG on my FIRST attempt!!!

I never thought it was possible, for I never really understood tax until I took Roger's course and it put everything into perspective. I did it all: I went to Roger's live course, I reviewed his cram course, the Wiley CD-ROM software and the homework book. In the end, it all paid off and you all made it happen!

In addition to this phenomenal accomplishment, Disney has offered me a promotion! I will be working in their corporate property tax department reviewing property tax returns submitted by interns and assist in Disney's annual audit. It's wonderful that the company sees my value and what I have to contribute to them.

There's no greater feeling than knowing you have helped somebody improve their future. You impact the lives of so many people each and every day, shaping the future of CPAs and developing the skills and attitudes of hard-working professionals. Keep up the good work! I know I will.

Your loyal student and friend,

His energy, enthusiam, and humor make this review course great, something that I look forward to …

Thank you Roger!

I knew Roger was full of energy and enthusiasm when I met him at a school presentation, but I never thought he could be equally, if not more, energetic when it came to teaching the class! Roger's approach at teaching is great, I only wish more professors would be the same so I would actually want to go to class! He keeps the class engaged and going so that the 8 hours just fly by. His energy, enthusiam, and humor make this review course great, something that I look forward to and his mnemonics for studying are a great help! Thanks Roger!

Your witty instruction, brother man, gave me the edge to get over the top.

Just wanted to express thanks to Roger for helping me get through BEC. It was my last section to conquer. Your witty instruction, brother man, gave me the edge to get over the top. Moreover, refreshing to see a CPA who's not some stuck-in-the mud personality type.

Blessings,

I could not have done this without your course …

Hi Roger,

Thank you so much for your class and all of the study materials! I took all four parts during the Oct/Nov testing window and I just got the last of the results. I passed them all on the first try! I could not have done this without your course and the very, very useful homework.

Thank you again!

You have made the class so funny and easy to understand that I could follow you through the class.

Hi Roger,

I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your crews!! You are one of the best instructors!! I passed all 4 exams on the first try within 5 months!!

After graduating from school 8 years ago, I decided to go for my CPA this May. When I went to your live class the first day, I was worried about whether I could make it through. First of all, I did not have any accounting background and was away from school for a long time. (At the same time, I had to take the accounting classes to make up the credits for qualifying for the exam.) I was very impressed with your energetic teaching style. You have made the class so funny and easy to understand that I could follow you through the class. Most important, I like the way you summarized all the important subjects and presented them in a simple way. In the class, you repeated those important subjects several times to ensure we get it. Your teaching style and materials are the best in the industry.

For those preparing for the exams ~ I had to say it is one of the toughest exams in my life, follow with Roger and you will make it!! One small tip is to sign up for 4 sections together and get an unconditional repeat. You can use the unconditional repeat for accessing online classes, after attending the live classes. I normally would watch those sections which I did not understand several times via online. It is nice that you can pause and forward any time. Roger will never make you bored with his class!!

Sincerely,

– Jeff Huang

Your course is the best.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Roger CPA Review. Your course is the best. I have been through Becker CPA and would always sleep through sessions.That has not been the case with your course. I have today received my scores AUD-90, BEC-90, REG-84. Three down and one more to go. Once again a big Thank you and keep up the great work.

Possibly the best thing you do is finding ways to keep the class entertaining and fresh every day.

An affiliate professor of accounting shared a letter he received from one of his students with us:

[Dear Professor...] I took your Auditing class fall of last year.  I just wanted to let you know that I took Roger's review course and I recently passed the Auditing leg with an 80.  I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for approaching the class in a manner that geared us up for the CPA exam especially if taking Roger.  I think you did a great job, in fact I can still hear you saying "reeeeeeasonably." Possibly the best thing you do is finding ways to keep the class entertaining and fresh every day.  Keep pounding those mnemonics home, and thanks again.

Roger makes it fun and easy to understand.

I wanted to give a big thank you to Roger and his review course. I went from a 42 to a 87 simply by taking his review course and following his instructions. It really was that simple. Do the work and you will pass. Roger makes it fun and easy to understand. Thanks Roger!

Your teaching style and advice on how to take the exam was very useful!!!

Hi Roger! I just found out I passed FAR! I am SO HAPPY I passed on the first try with an 82! I was not expecting to score that high. Your teaching style and advice on how to take the exam was very useful!!! I feel my money was well spent and I hope one day, like you, I can help people accomplish their goals and bring them great joy and happiness! Again, thank you so much! I will recommend your courses to anyone I know who is interested in taking a CPA review course. Move over Becker...Roger is here!

Roger has a unique talent for simplifying the material and making it easy to remember.

Roger Philipp is the best value in CPA review. He charges less than the competition and offers a far superior product. Roger has a unique talent for simplifying the material and making it easy to remember.

I went to class, did the homework, and passed all four sections in six months (FAR: 80, REG: 89, BEC: 89, AUD: 93). Do yourself a favor and enroll now - You won't be dissapointed.

Thanks Roger!

You made the classes entertaining …

Thanks Roger! I actually passed the CPA Exam, thanks to you. I have tried before to study on my own but could never do it. You made the classes entertaining (which is difficult considering the dryness of the subject). Thanks again! I am in shock. I can't believe that I passed.

Thanks to you and your endless energy …

Roger...what can I say! I have finally passed all four parts. Thanks to you and your endless energy (or should I be thanking Mountain Dew) and passion for accounting.

I have and will continue to recommend this course to friends and coworkers. It works! Like Roger says, "Do the homework and you will pass".

Thank you again Roger.

I loved his enthusiasm and teaching style and am already missing my time with Roger!!

I was so scared to start studying for the CPA exam after being out of school for 3 years. It was so great to use Roger's course because he teaches only what you need to know to pass and doesn't assume you know anything!! With Roger's course and a lot of hard work, I was able to pass all four parts on the first try in just two testing windows (FAR - 91, AUD - 95, REG - 98, BEC - 84)!! I loved his enthusiasm and teaching style and am already missing my time with Roger!! Thank you so much for helping make this dream a reality.

Roger Philipp has the best format of the bunch!

I wanted to say how impressed I am with the Roger CPA Review course. I've urged friends and co-workers to 1) start preparing for the exam and 2) get help from Roger. For earlier sections, I used Becker, Wiley, Exam Matrix, and Micro Mash ... but Roger Philipp has the best format of the bunch! Great job!! As an educator, I especially appreciate the effort that Roger put into making his courses usable and effective. Just explaining WHY we are interested in a complex journal entry or HOW Pensions work was really helpful -- and Roger also simplified the procedures, which made it less painful to learn. I hope you reach lots of CPA candidates and help them to pass the exam easily ... the FIRST time!

Thanks again,

Roger was there to make the class more fun.

Roger is motivational and very knowledgeable. In 2005 I passed every test for the CPA exam, all on the first try. Thanks to him I'm a proud CPA today, every time I take a CPE class I wish Roger was there to make the class more fun.

Your willingness to share your experiences with my students has helped many students achieve their career goals.

Roger, Thank you for speaking at my class meetings as professor for a day and on other days. Each semester, my students have many questions about changes in the CPA examination, in CPA licensing rules, and in the best ways to search for positions in accounting. Your willingness to share your experiences with my students has helped many students achieve their career goals.

… your lecture is the ONLY ONE that grabs my attention and makes me want to tackle the exam with enthusiasm.

A big thank you to Roger and his staff for a great CPA review experience. I passed all four sections of the exam on the first try and even got a 91 on REG (better than my grades in school). I am now a licensed CPA in Ohio and I highly recommend your review course to anyone who is looking for a CPA review course. Your course package not only allowed me to gain a better understanding in accounting, but also helped me to become a smart computer based test taker. I did a lot of research before choosing a CPA review course and your lecture is the ONLY ONE that grabs my attention and makes me want to tackle the exam with enthusiasm. Thank you and your course rocks!

You make it sooo easy to remember and to study, I work great with mnemonics and you use a lot of them.

I passed, I passed...!!!!! I had been trying to pass for years and my mum finally said you need to go take a class or something, I signed up for the Roger CPA Review live class and I passed BEC and AUDIT right away, but because I was working so hard I used to sleep in the FAR and REG classes and I tried to study at home and I didn't pass. Then my mum said go back to "that guy" and take his classes again. So I bought the online cram for those two parts and I passed. I recommended Roger CPA Review to all my colleagues even though my firm uses another study material. The girl I recommended it to loved it and got a 96 on FARE her first time. You make it sooo easy to remember and to study, I work great with mnemonics and you use a lot of them. I am so grateful to God and I thank God for using you to bless me and countless others, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay its over...!!!

I just want to thank you for making this learning experience one of a kind. You made every lesson so interesting which makes it a lot easier for me to understand and remember.

His lectures make subjects like regulation look interesting and makes exam preparation less stressful.

Dear Raghavan, I presume this mail finds you in the best of health and spirits. I understand that you have just postponed to take the cpa examination because of your change in job. I strongly recommend you take Roger CPA Review's USB course as you can study in the comfort of your home any time at your convenience. Moreover, his lectures are not only totally exam oriented but also motivating and inspiring that you feel like listening to him again and again. His lectures make subjects like regulation look interesting and makes exam preparation less stressful. As I had told you I had taken his Financials and Regulation courses and I passed the exam. Wishing you all the best. Regards,

Roger himself is extremely good in explaining the materials …

Roger CPA review course is such a useful course that if somebody takes this course and follows Roger's advice, I can guarantee that every student, who is serious and determined to be a CPA, will become a CPA in the shortest possible time. Roger's CPA review courses are simply outstanding and Roger himself is extremely good in explaining the materials and how to deal with the exams. I personally believe no one can compete with him in this regard.

I started my study in mid July 2007 with Roger's USB course and sat for BEC and AUD exam at the end of Nov 2007, I got the scores of 85 and 80 respectively at the end of Dec 2007.

I was so encouraged by Roger's courses, I dared to write the final two exams, just in two months, at the end of Feb 2008 and got scores of 82 and 86. I have become CPA within eight months. This is simply unbelievable and I did it from outside USA. I give all credit to Roger and his courses.

If anyone wants to be a CPA, do not delay, go for Roger CPA review courses, study hard, follow Roger's instructions and become a CPA.

I had taken Roger's CPA USB course for FARE and Regulation in March 2007 and passed the exams in November 2007. Roger's lectures are simply outstanding and he makes complex concepts look very simple and understandable by using humor, practical examples and examination focused materials, which made preparation for CPA exam enjoyable and less stressful. I also found Roger very friendly and committed as he was easily accessible and solved any query promptly. Moreover I found Roger's Staff members were very courteous and helpful.

After taking your courses, I was able to pass all four parts with minimal studying.

Roger, I can't begin to thank you enough for providing such thorough and relevant review material for the CPA exam. After taking your courses, I was able to pass all four parts with minimal studying. Although I did not follow the number of hours you recommend, the books provided enough information so that I could pass all four parts with only two full days of studying. I just received the score for my final exam, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you for the services you provide. I will continue recommending everyone I know to your review courses.

Roger's course was exactly what I needed in order to get through the exam.

I just finished taking the FAR review course and found it to be a huge help in understanding the concepts. After taking a local review course about a year ago, I found myself not fully understanding as they provided me with the information needed to take the exam but did not provide explanations for the concepts. I appreciate the way Roger provided detailed explanations in a manner which was understandable and easy to comprehend. It's been several years since I finished school and Roger's course was exactly what I needed in order to get through the exam. Thanks,

Wanted to thank you for your awesome and effective course!

Hi Roger, Wanted to thank you for your awesome and effective course! I passed all 4 sections on the first try and within a 6 month time frame (FAR 86, REG 91, BEC 85, AUD 95)-- with a lot of studying of course! I waited 3 years after graduating from college to attempt the exam because I never thought I could pass, even though I had done well in school. I didn't think I had the discipline and I've never been very good at studying over long periods of time. Also, I've always been weak at multiple choice and I don't even LIKE accounting! Bisk was boring, I needed energy and enthusiasm! I'm very grateful it's over-- Thanks!!!

Hey Rog, YOU rock! I just got my scores for the last two exams and I passed both (FARE 79 and AUD 84). I passed all four parts the first time and in only two testing windows (a 5 months period)! A slam dunk with a big ally-oop assist from Rog! I attended your live course, read and studied your materials, and completed (most of) the homework. Your lectures are the best, and you provide a great service and a product that works. Thanks again.

Dear Roger: I got my passing score to FARE! I passed all four sections on the first try. Thank you so very much. Your books were so much easier to read compared to my homework book. I think you enjoy teaching and that had a positive influence on us because you really wanted us to pass. I planned a trip to China right after my exam. I can relax and enjoy my vacation even more now that I know I no longer need to worry about the exam. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Beijing!

He is also lively and makes the class laugh with him …

I passed all four parts of the CPA exam on my first try! And I have Roger's Live Courses to thank for. My undergraduate and my advanced degree were not Accounting, so I relied heavily on Roger's Book and the CD that came with the course for a structured and targeted review of exam materials. The Live Courses and Roger's study materials directed me toward studying the heavily tested topics, which saved me lots of time and energy (it was very helpful since I was working full-time). Roger is an experienced instructor, who genuinely wants his students to succeed. He is also lively and makes the class laugh with him throughout a long, intense day of CPA review course. I would recommend highly Roger's Live Courses to any CPA candidate.

… you are by far the best instructor I have ever witnessed.

I received my scores recently for the first two sections (BEC and REG) and I passed both the first time (83 and 87). I attended your live class, studied your materials and worked the homework questions. Your system works for anyone who is willing to put in the work. Your live classes are incredible and excellent preparation for study. I have attended numerous CPE seminars over the years and you are by far the best instructor I have ever witnessed. Your energy and knowledge of the material are incredible. Your books are extremely well written and easy to understand. I will highly recommend your class to anyone preparing for the exam. You make the process doable.

I took FARE exam on 7/26 and got the score today - 93. :) I did everything Roger told us to do - read his note ONLY, do homework twice, and focus on important topics. For the exam, I used about 40 minutes for each section of MC. I did not look at the Reseach tap for the first Simulation to make sure I have enough time to do the second Simulation. I don't remember any MC related to Pension which I spent a couple hours the day before the exam. So if you are having trouble with it (as I did), don't worry - it might not show up. I am taking Audit on 8/31 - will report back. Thank you Roger. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks to your on-line and live classes I passed all parts from the first time. You are such a character and you make accounting fun.

I will always have fond memories of your energy …

I took the exams starting this year in February through July, and was successful on each one with one try. I did what you said although at times I had doubts that I could master all the material in the exam format. Your materials were great. Thanks also to your support staff, especially one holiday weekend when I had trouble with the downloads. I will always have fond memories of your energy and your Mountain Dew.

Thanks to Roger's energy and comprehensive materials I never felt bored or overwhelmed.

Because of the Roger Philipp review course, I was able to pass all four parts of the exam on the first try and, more importantly, I passed all of them within nine months. The course made all of the difference. I went to every class, did everything Roger recommended, and scored between 80 and 91 on each part of the exam. Thanks to Roger's energy and comprehensive materials I never felt bored or overwhelmed. I know people who have taken other review courses and they are not nearly as happy as those of us who took Roger!

I have thoroughly enjoyed your classes and your style of teaching.

Hi Roger, I just got my REG scores and I made it. This was by far the toughest exam I have worked on and with your help I have scored an 80. I am glad I made the decision to join your course. I have thoroughly enjoyed your classes and your style of teaching. You definitely have the art of spicing a subject so dry as REG. I like the way you get us right to the core of the subject and feel comfortable with it. For someone like me who had little if not no background on this subject, that was a great jump. Also, your books as compared to others made the learning so much easier. Best of all is the guidance you provided on the approach needed to take the exam. I highly recommend your course to prospective CPA exam candidates!

Your method of organizing the subject matter and enthusiasm made the time I spent in class and studying a lot easier.

Hi Roger, I just wanted to say thank you very much! I attended your live course in Orange County and passed three of the four exams with no problem on the first try. Your method of organizing the subject matter and enthusiasm made the time I spent in class and studying a lot easier. I already referred you to all of my co-workers who are getting ready to take their tests soon. Keep up the great work and thanks again!

I never felt sleepy or bored …

I'm not an A student at school but I still wanted to be a CPA. So, I attended Roger's CPA review class. He is very interesting and funny. I never felt sleepy or bored at the class. With his great experience, he really keeps the students focused on mastering the most important topics in order to pass the exam, which helped me and I did pass the exam. Well, Here I am, a not-A student is getting certified! Thanks, Roger!

I made the right choice- with your energetic style of teaching and tips-you certainly made accounting fun and very interesting.

Hi Roger, When I attended your first class I knew from that moment I made the right choice- with your energetic style of teaching and tips-you certainly made accounting fun and very interesting. You were absolutely right, The CPA Exams is not an IQ Test, if you study-you will pass! I took your advice-gone through the lecture and homework twice. I switched from Live to On-Line Course to accomodate off-work hours-it worked perfectly well and as a result, I passed all 4 subjects on my first try-very much in 'cloud nine' when I got my results. Thanks very much Roger and to your team. May you continue to inspire and help more students to attain their dream of becoming a successful US CPA someday...Mind over matter and studying in between! Cheers

I love your class totally!

Dear Roger, I love your class totally! That's why I am coming back for all parts. Before I took the review classes, I failed on both FARE and BEC once. I thought I am going to give one more try before quitting and need some professional help. I couldn't decide which review class I should take. I met some one on BART, (who was your student from two years ago...). She suggested I should take your [course]. She said you have a very good teaching style and the price is totally reasonable [compared to] other review classes. I attended the first section FARE last May. Due to my busy schedule at work I didn't take the exam until February and passed FARE then, now BEC... Your course materials covered all the important parts. Your tips and short cuts really helped me and changed my study habit. Thank you

You've always kept the topics interesting …

Dear Roger, Hope you're doing well. I want to let you know that I've passed all four parts of my CPA exam all in one shot, and within six months while I was working, attending firm events, and maintaining a social life! Your class definitely was a great contributor to my success in passing the CPA. I couldn't have done it without your class. You've always kept the topics interesting, taught us how to study efficiently, and taught us what topics to focus on and how to pass the exam. Thank you so much for all of your time and help. Sincerely
– Linda Liu, Ernst & Young, LLP

I love his classes.

I passed BEC, AUDIT and REG on the first try thanks to Roger's CPA review. I got a 75 on Audit my first test, 91 on REG and now a 80 on BEC. Most of my colleagues have not passed, so I know it was Rogers class that helped me pass. If it wasn't for all the information Roger gave me and the interesting way he taught the class, I would never have been able to pass. His teaching style is what made it possible for me to pass the first time. I love his classes. I am going to miss them because I am all done. Please send thanks to Roger

– Catherine Barron

You somehow manage to make the material interesting and the coverage of the items tested is excellent.

Dear Roger, I just wanted to let you know that I have passed the CPA exam that this would not have happened had it not been for your review courses. I waited 10+ years to take the exam after graduating from college and your courses were essential in my passing three parts of on the first try and the final part on the second. You somehow manage to make the material interesting and the coverage of the items tested is excellent. I would recommend your courses (without any reservation) to anyone who is considering taking the exam or who has taken the exam and is having difficulty passing. Thanks Again.

– Charles Mendes

Roger made the lessons entertaining.

Roger has the ability to take a difficult subject matter and explain it in a clear and concise matter. Most importantly, though, Roger made the lessons entertaining. I actually enjoyed studying for my exams with Roger and I passed my exams quite comfortably on the first try.

– Bita Moore

I really enjoyed your teaching style …

Hi Roger, Just want to let you know that I got the score for my last exam (REG) today and I passed! I really enjoyed your teaching style and have referred several of my co-workers to you who will start w/ their first session in September. I passed all 4 parts in the first try (BEC-84, AUD-89, REG-91, FAR-91)! Your teaching style and textbook made the studying process a lot less painful. Like you said, attend the lecture, do the homework and you'll pass. Even without prior experience with some of the subjects, the lecture and the studying aids made it easy to digest new material. Thanks again Roger!

– Kaitlin Nguyen

Thanks to your guidance and your materials, I got a 99 …

Dear Roger, I took all 4 of your live classes and have been very satisfied with the results. Thanks to your guidance and your materials, I got a 99 (the max. score) in FARE and a 94 in REG. I will be taking AUD in late August and BEC in early October. My coworkers at EY who used Becker had to take REG numerous times in order to pass. I am very glad to have enrolled in your review course!

– Johnson Kuo, Ernst & Young LLP

Thanks to Roger for his class - I passed all four sections the first time late last year and early this year after taking his summer session last year - REG 90, FAR 87, BEC 87, AUD 82.

– Sean Stier

… your book was just simply perfect in terms of what I needed to cover.

Hello Roger: You probably do not know or remember me, especially considering I took only the cram course for your REG section last month, and I couldn't make it to 2/3 days of classes as I was traveling for work. The reason I am writing to you is that I took the Regulation exam towards the end of last month after just 8 hrs of actually attending your class, and reading your book for a maximum of 2 days. The other books I looked at for regulation when I took it the first time were either too detailed or simply bad, and your book was just simply perfect in terms of what I needed to cover. In addition, I also bought your video course (now USB Drive Course) just to brush up on important stuff just before the exam, and I have to tell you, the 8hrs in your class, the video course and the book helped immensely, especially given the short amount of time I had to prepare. Considering busy season and everything at work, I simply did not have the time to study or prepare more. I just got my results back and I scored an 80 on the dot, and considering the amount of time I spent on the exam, it was simply great. Bottom-line, thanks a lot to you, your team and the great work you guys do. Thanks to you, I have completed my last part now, and my only regret is that I wish I had found you guys earlier. I will be sure to recommend your course and your materials to people I know. Thanks again,

… but your tips and resources helped to make studying for the exam and taking the test less overwhelming and a more pleasant experience.

I recently passed FAR and wanted to thank you for all of your helpful hints and things to remember for the exam from your live course. Your class really helped me focus my study time to make the most of the little time I had to study. For me, FAR seemed like it would be the hardest exam to pass as it encompasses a lot of material but your tips and resources helped to make studying for the exam and taking the test less overwhelming and a more pleasant experience. I look forward to passing the rest!

You magically keep students awake, focused and motivated.

Dear Roger, I remember on the very first day you promised that at the end of your course we will know more than after four years of college. I took all four parts of your course and now I can sincerely say that this is true. Your course was a great experience for me and not only because it prepared me for the CPA exam. The understanding of accounting you gave me also helped me to find a new job. I could not imagine I could learn so much in such a short period of time. You knowledge and experience are beyond doubt; and this is the reason why so many students chose your course. However, there is something else that makes you course so popular. Your energy and passion to your work are something that makes your course so special and helpful. You magically keep students awake, focused and motivated. Your If you study you can pass is what I keep repeating to myself every time I am tired and ready to give up. THANK YOU! I already passed two parts and I believe I will be successful with the other two.

… you're such a good teacher that the concepts just stuck in my head through your lecture … YOU'RE JUST THE BEST!

I just wanted to take the time to write you a testimonial!! I just got my FARE results, even though I walked out feeling bad, as you said, I probably still did good! I got an 87 for my FARE!! I am just so happy!! Also, as I have told you already, I got a 90 on Audit and 82 on BEC, even though I only studied BEC for two weeks. I really wanted to thank you, especially for my FARE results, as I had NEVER taken Gov't Accounting before so, I was worried that FARE would be a challenge, but you're such a good teacher that the concepts just stuck in my head through your lecture...YOU'RE JUST THE BEST! Now I have Regulation left to tackle next year after I start work with Ernst & Young, but I know with you I'll pass it with no problem, and probably with flying colors!

– Victoria Ng, Ernst and Young

Your energy, enthusiasm and hilarity in the lectures kept me focused and interested.

Love your course and your energy! 2 Thumbs UP to your course! Your uncanny ability to explain confusing and difficult subjects with off-the-wall humor makes learning a whole lot easier. Your energy, enthusiasm and hilarity in the lectures kept me focused and interested. This course certainly beats having to listen to a mono-tone lecturer explain boring subjects in gruelingly long phrases. Many thanks!

– Andrew Nahm

Roger's dynamic and unique class has made all the difference in the world in preparing for the exam for me.

Roger's dynamic and unique class has made all the difference in the world in preparing for the exam for me. With his class, I am much more focused, enthusiastic, and confident about the exam. I have so far passed BEC and AUD sections. The text book by Roger is concise and to the point, and it made digesting the material so much easier for me. The mnemonics in his course helped me so much in learning the material that I needed to know for the exam. The biggest realization of how effective Roger's class is in preparing for the exam came during the taking of the exam itself. Throughout the exam, I was able to answer so many questions with confidence of getting them correct by remembering Roger's lecture and the part Roger repeatedly went over citing it is very important. Thank you, Roger!

– Reijun Takamura, DELOITTE

Your review course is the best and your live lectures are fun and interesting.

Hi Roger.....I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I passed my BEC exam the first time and I could not have done it without taking your classes. Your review course is the best and your live lectures are fun and interesting. Passing the BEC exam the first time has given me confidence to sit for the other exams. Roger CPA Review is the best course ever!

– Kalpana Ragothaman

You are one of the best instructors I've ever had!

When I first started preparing for the CPA exam, I did serious research between your classes and Becker's. I feel SO fortunate that I eventually made a right decision of choosing your classes. Attending your classes was such great fun (really!) while learning in a very systemic and comprehensive way. I passed three of them at an average score of 89 on the first try and I'm preparing for the final one. You are one of the best instructors I've ever had! I highly recommended your classes to all my friends who are taking CPA exams and turns out they also enjoy your lectures as much as I do! Grateful,

– Jihong Xu

I'm living proof that your program works.

Hi Roger, Many, many thanks! I just received the last of my test scores and the news is great! The final tally is: AUD 90, BEC 87, FAR 83, and REG 89. I'm living proof that your program works. As a career changer who returned to college after 15 years just to pick up 16 more accounting units so I could sit for the CPA exam, I needed something to pull it all together. I didn't even take an Auditing class! The recipe for success is simple: Attend your class, do the problems. That's all it takes!

– Joseph Emanuele, James Ernst Accounting

I could not have done it without the invaluable and incredibly entertaining (yes, I mean ENTERTAINING) Roger's live course.

I just received my scores and I am a very happy-I passed all the parts of the CPA exam with results in the 80s! I could not have done it without the invaluable and incredibly entertaining ( yes, I mean ENTERTAINING) Roger's live course. Before Roger, I took Gleim for one section and it did not work for me. Roger Philipp's course presents even the most difficult accounting concepts in an understandable way and provides you with the right amount and type of knowledge. If you follow the course requirements you will know enough to pass the exam with a good error margin at your first attempt. Words are not strong enough to express my gratitude. THANK YOU ROGER!

– Dimitre Ivanov, LL.M.

Your outstanding (and the wonderful humor!) instruction definitely made a tough challenge become a pleasant experience.

Dear Roger, Thanks so much for making a painful experience become a very happy journey! I was scared to death before taking the exams, and I am in heaven now. With the help of your enlightened Review Classes, I was able to pass all the four parts of the CPA exams in one time. Without your CPA Review classes, I would not be able to make it. I will definitely recommend your classes to other friends in the future if they ever want to approach the CPA exam. Your outstanding (and the wonderful humor!) instruction definitely made a tough challenge become a pleasant experience. It lead me through a easy journey and a very happy ending. Thank you and I will always remember the laughter you bring to your classes. You are the magician who turned dark into light! Thank you!

– Grace Zhang

Roger is tremendously knowledgeable, sincere, respectful and extremely funny!

A multitude of thanks over and over again to Roger. I took the 9 week intensive review and the CRAM for FARE, which was my last section to pass. The pressure was on, since I would have lost my conditional credit had I not passed. Thanks to Roger, I received an 84! I began studying for the CPA exam 4 years ago when I spent a fortune on Becker's review. I was completely overwhelmed, bored and dissatisfied. There was always a different instructor and each of them had the personality of a celery stick. After that waste, I ordered a bunch of study books by different publishers and was again bored and dissatisfied. Let me say I have a closet full of review materials that did me no good. I wish I took Roger's class a long time ago. I know it wouldn't have taken me as long as it did to finally get to this point. Roger is tremendously knowledgeable, sincere, respectful and extremely funny! He is able to take a ton of material and focus on the important highlights so you don't feel so overwhelmed. If you learn what he concentrates on, you will pass. I actually was excited to drive 90 miles to San Francisco to attend his class. I highly recommend this course to my colleagues. Thank you Roger, for helping me get through one of the most stressful challenges of my life!

I have never seen someone be able to do what you do with such complex material.

Roger, I just started the FARE online video course last night and I couldn't believe it but for the first time I understand the conceptual framework. I'm shocked. You were right in what you said, You'll understand accounting after the next 17 hours, it's happening. Anyway, more importantly that that, the Equity method vs. cost method for investment interests is a simple concept now. You took a very complex issue of which the components I had to always memorize and made it so simple and logical. In fact, I will not have to study the equity method again until the exam (although I probably will anyway). Not to sound like I'm weird but I really want to convey a feeling to you that I have never seen someone be able to do what you do with such complex material. I have had 20 year scholar professors; doctorates in their accounting fields; authors of countless publications and I don't think these guys understand this stuff like you do. Further, you are able to put it into understandable form in a matter of seconds. Years of school, Becker, and CPA Excel all together could not do what you did in a few seconds for many exam issues. I'm sorry, don't want to get emotional but I just wanted to make sure you're getting kudos for what you do. I don't know if you're told enough or not. So thanks. BEC I got an 85 and studied maybe 60 hours (8 of which were your lectures). The remainder I believe will be similar. Sorry for the long email, I just had to share my excitement about how I felt about the exam after one night (last night) of the cram course. I was so depressed, frustrated and literally scared before then. I promise, however, I will not respond with such a long email again...just wanted you to know your impact on my future. Sincerely,

– Daniel L. Medlen, Jr.

It was smart, well organized, often wacky and hysterically funny.

Roger, I just got my test results back and passed 3 parts of the test in one sitting. I know for a fact that having graduated from college over 13 years ago, I could have NEVER done this well without your review class. It was smart, well organized, often wacky and hysterically funny. Basically, just what the doctor ordered. Again, thanks a million.

– Nadia Irvin

Your teaching style is without a doubt one of the best I have seen.

Roger: Good morning. I hope all is well in your part of the world. I told you I would let you know about my test results when they arrived, and I just received them. I told you I felt good about the exam in my May email. Well, I passed 3 out of 4 parts! I am thrilled and a little surprised. I scored 80 on BEC, 85 on AUDIT, and 90 on FARE. I don't have my score yet on REG, but as you know, with each notice they tell which parts you passed and for REG I received no credit. My goal was to pass FARE and AUDIT, and that is where I focused my study time. After attending your cram courses for all but BEC, as you may remember, I purchased the video for BEC. In the two days prior to the exam I watched the video, and combined with studying, put twenty hours of effort into the material- and passed! I was so impressed with how good I felt after each of your cram sessions that I thought it was worth a shot, and it worked! Your teaching style is without a doubt one of the best I have seen. I could never have attained the grades I received without your help. I am extremely thankful. After all these years it blows my mind how you keep up your enthusiasm and concern for your students. If I were not so far away I would not hesitate to come back for another REG class, but instead I will just order your tape. Thank you for helping me overcome a milestone in my professional career. After sixteen years out of college I was not certain whether I had it in me to study and pass the CPA exam. I am entirely grateful. Do not ever hesitate to contact me if you come to Alaska as it would be my pleasure to help you with whatever you need.

– Curt Dodd, CFO, White Pass and Yukon Route

You are so funny and have such a sense of humor, which makes it fun and keeps me interested (I don't fall asleep) and makes it easy to learn.

Hi Roger! I'm sending you this short note to tell you that I passed FARE with 75%, which I worked very hard for. This was only possible with the help of your video cassettes!! They are great!!! Especially for me, being a foreigner, and my mother language being German. I got the last kick when I visited your CPA Exam Cram course, which I can only recommend to EVERYONE!! In my opinion there is nothing comparable!! I'm very grateful for the help that you have given me up until now. And I am confident that I will pass the last section of the exam after taking your next CPA Exam Cram course in AUDIT in San Francisco in May. You are so funny and have such a sense of humor, which makes it fun and keeps me interested (I don't fall asleep) and makes it easy to learn. I will be happy to see you again in May. So, that is my next question. Do you still have a seat for me at your May, AUDIT CPA Exam Cram course? If so, I will sign up today!! Best regards and thank you VERY MUCH again.

– Werner Baumgart

Roger was my favorite instructor …

Dear Roger and Staff, I had the pleasure to have Roger Philipp as my instructor when he was teaching with Mark's CPA Review in 1995-96. When I took the CPA examine 1996, I passed 3 of 4 parts with exam and immediately followed up by passing the 4th part. It has been 10+ years and I have successful CPA practice in Manhattan Beach, CA and a satellite office on the North Shore of Hawaii. Roger was my favorite instructor and would recommend his courses to anyone looking to pass the CPA exam on their first try. It is great to that Rogers is doing well and is continuing to help future CPA candidates.

– John W. McLellan, CPA, JWM CPA & COMPANY

Your motivation, humor and incredible knowledge of the subjects… helped me pass FAR on my first try …

Dear Roger, After waiting 10 years since graduating college to take the CPA exam, I was a little nervous. With your course, I learned the subjects I wasn't offered in college and relearned the subjects I've since forgotten. Your motivation, humor and incredible knowledge of the subjects not only helped me pass FAR on my first try, but also helped me be more effective at my job. I look forward to taking the rest of the exams because I know I'll pass with your course. Thank you for helping me pass and further my career!

– Jennifer Swieca, Finance Manager, JAKKS Pacific, Inc.

YOUR CLASS ROCKED and kept me going.

Hi Roger, I cannot thank you enough! I took one part at a time (Computerized Exam), but I passed all with only one attempt. Unlike the other CPA review course I took (Becker) YOUR CLASS ROCKED and kept me going. Roger's textbook was clearer about points I needed to master to pass the exam. Teachers at Becker kept changing and there were some teachers who have much, much less experience in teaching the exam review course. I remembered that more than 2/3 of students left the class on that day because of that. That's why I decided to switch and found your review courses. Again, I just wanted you to know another successful story from your many other successful students. Whenever I have a chance, I will definitely refer your course to everyone who is having a hard time passing the exam. Wishing you a continued success.

– Naoko Nikki Kurokawa

Roger is a really great teacher who distilled broad subject areas into useful information …

Dear Roger, I took the REG and AUDIT sections of the CPA Exam in the April/May 2004 window and just got my scores. I was pleased to receive 88% for BEC, 83% for AUDIT and 84% for REG with minimal out-of-class preparation. I'd like to say THANK YOU! Roger is a really great teacher who distilled broad subject areas into useful information, then put that information into context so I could easily work the review problems. Roger is right - 'work the problems and you will PASS!'

Your teaching skills are OUTSTANDING!

THANKS TO YOU, ROGER!! After taking your class, I was able to pass all the subjects the first time! With less than 6 months of review, I was able to score FARE-90; AUD-90; REG-85; BEC-78. I didn't have to study other review materials, just your book and the multiple choice questions. Your teaching skills are OUTSTANDING! It's not just helpful in the exam itself, but is also very informative of what's really happening in the real world, plus the fact that you're very energetic which makes studying a lot of fun! I highly recommend Roger CPA Review Course to all CPA exam candidates, especially, to those who has been out of school for years, because, after taking Roger's CPA Review, you'll never feel inferior when you sit for the exam!

– Jeamylin Gaerlan

Your lecture was organized, fun, motivating, spontaneous, and effective to say the least!

Hi Roger, Just want to say many thanks to you. I attended your live regular course and your live cram course for AUD in April. Just by going to your classes along with some self-studying, I was able to score 89 on Audit. Your lecture was organized, fun, motivating, spontaneous, and effective to say the least! You used mnemonics to help students remember all the audit concepts needed in a structured and logic way. I recommend your course to all the CPA exam candidates. For those that do not have the time to attend Roger's regular classes, I highly recommend the cram courses. Thanks so much Roger!

Your lively and humorous lectures kept me awake and helped me stay focused …

Hello Roger, I was so excited to receive my CPA exam score report in a big yellow envelope from the state board!...I want to take this chance to thank you for leading me to this goal... Your lively and humorous lectures kept me awake and helped me stay focused...Your textbooks are concise and to the point. I attended all the lectures and finished all four textbooks, so even though I completed only a quarter of the practice questions, I was still able to pass the four sections on my first attempt. I miss your lectures and I wish I can still take advantage of your free repeat! The Saturdays I spent sitting in your lectures were indeed quite enjoyable. Thank you again! Best Regards,

– Colin Lau

Roger's innovative, creative, energetic, and enthusiastic ways of teaching, DID bring me closer to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Having taken Becker's Review Course and not passing the exam, I decided to take Roger's CPA Review Course and passed 2 parts out of 3 that were attempted. Roger's innovative, creative, energetic, and enthusiastic ways of teaching, DID bring me closer to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Roger, thank you for all of your encouragement, guidance, and support!!! I want you all to know that IT IS POSSIBLE WITH ROGER'S HELP!

– Crystall Ho, MBA

Roger's classes are great in giving you all you need for the CPA exam.

Roger's classes are great in giving you all you need for the CPA exam. I passed 3 parts on my first try (Nov 2003) and got a 72 in audit. Have I listened to him... Books and lectures are very straight to the point on everything you have to know to pass the exam. Besides his energy that gets everyone excited through long days of classes homework. Follow his directions and you will do well. I Totally recommend it! Thanks again, Roger!

… the BEST teacher I have ever had in my life!

Being an accounting instructor myself and having completed my Ph.D. in accounting, I can honestly tell you that Roger is not only knowledgeable and entertaining, but by far the BEST teacher I have ever had in my life!

– Tim Kizirian, CPA, Ph.D.

Roger… is the best teacher I've seen …

I was highly impressed with the course. Oddly enough, after spending 3 days listening to Roger teaching, I am convinced that he is the best teacher I've seen (reminder: teacher encompasses not only all 6 years of college professors, but high school and elementary school teachers as well). Apparently he has a knack for what he does, and I'd gladly support his company in any way that I can.

– Brad Wollmer, Ernst & Young

Roger is the greatest!!!

Roger is the greatest!!! I was shopping for a review course in June 2001 and the only one with a live instructor in San Jose was Roger's. I had heard about Roger's impeccable reputation as a teacher through one of my acquaintances. I was skeptical and I took his free session. By the end of the day , my impressions changed and I felt comfortable enough to register for the review program. I neither had an accounting major nor did I have any professional experience in accounting. I religiously followed Roger's instructions and I passed all the four parts in my very first attempt. I will be more than happy to recommend Roger to any CPA aspirant.

In simplest terms, not only Roger Philipp's CPA Review course's resources are more than adequate and factual but Roger's teaching passion persuades and makes us achieve what we, CPA exam takers, have always wanted to be: to pass the CPA with high-flying scores. How is he unique to me? He would even countdown the number of days left before we encounter our formidable adversary--The CPA examination!

I could not tell you how much I have learned from you. Your classes are always fun and you make the most complicated subject easy to understand. You not only helped me pass the test you have also helped me with my work. I have benefited so much from you course, I'm requesting my staff to take some classes from you to update their accounting knowledge since there are so many changes in accounting. Thank you!

Thank you for your vivid and effective CPA review course. I passed all four section on my first sitting with the score of: AUD-93 LPR-89 FARE-88 ARE -93. Your lecture is the best one I have ever had, and I definitely will recommend your review course to all my friends. Thank you again

– Zhihui(Kevin) Huang

There were things that I just couldn't grasp until they were explained in your class.

I am so excited and it is all because of you and your class! These scores are outstanding! I have been so close so, many times with AUD & ARE and the highest I ever scored on FARE is a 52. Law is also so surprising because I have never sat for that part. I highly recommend you! There were things that I just couldn't grasp until they were explained in your class. Then, I realized why I didn't get them in the first place. Thank you so much for helping me pass these three parts and I know I will pass the last!

Your class was really great …

Thanks to you and your class I passed all four parts. Your class was really great, you keep me focused and you made it entertaining (at least as entertaining as accounting can be). I will always remember if you study you will pass, for the rest of my life. Thanks again.

His classes are lively and highly motivating.

I am glad I took Roger's CPA Review course and PASSED ALL 4 SECTIONS IN THE FIRST ATTEMPT ! Being an International student, taking the CPA Exam was all the more challenging.. Taking Roger's CPA Review class was the Right decision, which led me to this success! Roger's knowledge as well as his lucid teaching style are par excellence.. His classes are lively and highly motivating. I would recommend all the CPA students to take Roger's CPA Review class..especially to students who don't have much study time as well as the International students...following Roger's guidance will only lead to success... Thankz a million , Roger :)

… your teaching style (and sense of humor) was very effective easy to understand.

I graduated from college 10 years ago and had studied NO formal accounting since graduation when I decided to take your course. Being a 'slightly older' student (32), I was a little intimidated when I walked into your classroom. However, your teaching style (and sense of humor) was very effective easy to understand. After no formal accounting education since 1992, your class was literally all I needed to pass the exam! Your class was amazing! Thanks for everything.

– Greg Pitts

I was motivated by your charisma.

Hi Roger, Thanks for your reply, however, I won't be needing the Unconditional Repeat anymore. Thanks to you and your valuable notes and tips, I passed all 4 parts! I'm so happy. I really enjoyed your classes and I was motivated by your charisma. I highly recommend your classes to anyone who wants to pass the CPA exam. As a matter of fact, my co-worker, did purchase the Video Course from you and loved it. Well, I won't be seeing you again and best of luck to you! Thanks again for helping me pass the exam.

– Louise Siao

Your material is fun, easy to follow and most important of all, really helpful.

I want to thank you for your material and instruction which helped me pass all four parts of the exam at the first sitting since, I left school 3 years ago. Your material is fun, easy to follow and most important of all, really helpful. Keep up the good work, I will definitely recommend it to all my friends. Thanks again!

– Terri Wang

I passed all four parts! I couldn't have done it without your classes. Thank you! Sincerely,

– Amanda Powell, Ernst & Young LLP

… you are the best!

Hi Roger, I want to thank both yourself and Louisa for helping me to pass. I passed all 4 parts my first time with scores over 80. Its' not just the lectures, which the whole world is already doing... Its' more... i.e. the sincere care and encouragement I get from you guys when I was down with obstacles like bonds, pensions etc. and I don't know what to do with so much material that I couldn't understand cos' it wasn't emphasized or taught in my Chartered courses in Scotland. What could be worse? When The CO state board INITIALLY DIDN'T ALLOW ME TO SIT FOR THE EXAMS WHEN I WAS MORE THAN ELIGIBLE. Louisa was such an angel in my most desperate moments. She patiently advised and vetted thru' my appeal letter to the State Board of Accountancy in COLORADO! You too, Roger for motivating me all the way telling me to hang in there and don't give up. Thanks a bunch ! people! you are the best! You are more than teachers. You care ! You are not the take your money, don't give you any time and good-bye! type. That's what made you guys stand out above the other corporate and faceless schools. I would definitely recommend you to anybody I know sitting for the CPA, whether they are in or out of America, cos' I have experienced the BEST, first hand! You may put up everything I have written above in your website. I'd love to come by (Not this Sat but any other days.. Sorry...) and speak to the people in your class anytime to motivate and tell them that CPA is definitely achievable if you do your part. Just let me know. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

– Angelia Lim, FCCA, ACCA

Roger is such a great teacher …

Roger and Louisa: First off, I want to thank Roger for sticking with those of us that got dumped by Mark's. Second, I would like to thank Roger again for being an awesome teacher! And third, since Roger is such a great teacher, I passed three parts of the exam and only have FARE remaining. Thank you

– Kristen Parrish

Roger, I passed the exam!!! Thank you so much for the course, I could not have done it without you!! I will spread the word.Take care

– Heidi Johansen, Ernst & Young, LLP

Roger, Thanks for your help I passed my final part in May. I don't think I would have passed without your class! Thanks a lot.

– Jason Castle, Barbich Longcrier Hooper and King

Roger's instruction alone was nearly enough to get me to pass all 4 sections.

Just thought, that I'd share with you as an FYI what my November CPA exam scores were, in case you gather any statistics. I took the November 2002 class in San Jose. After being out of school for 3 years, I knew I would be rusty, so expectations were low. I took the class for all 4 sections, and studied for 2 (okay, more like 1,....3/4?) I got the following results: LPR: 75 AUD: 72 FARE: 76 ARE: 70. I successfully obtained conditional credit, with very minimal study time. Roger's instruction alone was nearly enough to get me to pass all 4 sections. I feel very confident now that when I study for the remaining sections, I will be able to pass the remaining sections. Thanks, Roger.

Roger's engaging personality, sense of humor, and up-beat presentation style helped me to keep focused during class.

The Roger CPA Review course was the key to my success in passing the CPA exam. Roger pares down the tremendous volume of information to its key components and he presents them effectively, allowing students to concentrate on the information and skills required to pass. Roger's engaging personality, sense of humor, and up-beat presentation style helped me to keep focused during class. My passing is truly a testament to the value of his lectures as, although I attended every lecture, I was unable to commit much additional time to studying. I would estimate I studied less than 40 hours outside of class attendance. I got almost exactly perfect scores (perfect being a 76, 76, 76, 76). My scores were Aud 80, LPR 81, FARE 79,and ARE 76. It has been 10 years since I took an accounting course, and 5 years since I practiced public or private accounting. I genuinely believe my passing the exam is a direct result of attending Roger's excellent lectures. I highly recommend his course to anyone who wants to pass the exam!

I couldn't have done it without Roger CPA Review!

Hi Roger! Yes! I passed all four parts of the exam after going through your prep course. I cannot tell you how happy I still feel since opening that letter on Tuesday. My hopes were for two parts or maybe even three, but four felt like such a long shot. Thank you so much for the preparation through your course, two crams and continued motivation throughout the course. I remember you had a student share her story of passing four parts during the course, and this student's success was my motivation. I couldn't have done it without Roger CPA Review! AUD: 90 LPR: 86 FARE: 80 ARE: 86 I went from scores of 40s and 50s to 80s and a 90 after your course. It is an awesome and unbelievable feeling!! I hope you feel just as proud knowing that you helped me and so many others in passing this tough exam. Thank you again!! I have spread the word that I used your class to pass. Please let me know where I can send you a 12-pack of Mountain Dew!

– Margaret Fong

You do a great job of keeping things interesting.

Roger, Just wanted to thank you. I was the guy that had the conditional credit that was just about to run out......Took the courses and the crams and passed, without working all of the homework problems. So I credit your course for helping me pass the first two parts, as I took the cram and passed. I took your courses this time and passed, thanks to your course again. Best wishes to you and your course. You do a great job of keeping things interesting.

– R.Y.

Thank you, Roger. After I attended your live classes and read your books, I passed all sections of the CPA exam at one time. The scores are very high: ARE-97, FARE-94, LPR-91, AUD-85...I suggest everyone who wants to pass all sections like me should choose Roger. He can help you to reach your dreams successfully.

– Minfang Gao

Roger, you are the best!

Dear Roger: I studied/attempted for 3 parts in Nov 2002, passed 2 parts and 4 points away from passing the 3rd part...This is a mixed feeling beyond words! THANK YOU! Thank you again Roger, you are the best! Respectfully,

– Crystall Ho

… the structure of Roger's class makes the studying process doable.

I would never have passed all four parts my first try had I not taken Roger's class. His books and guidelines for studying are the best way to prepare yourself to successfully take and pass the CPA exam. Even though I was working and studying, the structure of Roger's class makes the studying process doable. I definitely recommend this class for anyone who is serious about passing the CPA exam.

– Amy Corrieo

Your teaching skills really inspired me to study.

Hi Roger, I have taken your class for all sections of the exam and passed each time. Your teaching skills really inspired me to study. I just passed the last section (ARE) in November 2002, and am on my way to becoming a CPA. Thanks for all your help!

– Spencer Horton, HBLLP

Thank You for your excellent course!

Dear Roger:I hope you still remember me since you have so many of students. I enjoyed your class every much. I attended your class from January to April in 2002 and took the cpa exam in May 2002. That was my first time and I successfully Passed four parts. I can't believe it! I really want to say Thank You to you! Your class is truly effective and helpful. After that , I enrolled the MS Taxation program in Golden Gate University. I recommend you to my friends and classmates. I think there are a few in your class now. Thank You for your excellent course!

– Yang Zhang (Sandy)

I conditionally passed ARE & LPR on the November '00 exam. I studied on my own trying to pass Audit and FARE and got nowhere. With only three attempts left before I lost my conditional status, I decided to get Roger's help. So I took Roger's Audit Cram Course and proceeded to pass Audit. Then I took Roger's 14 week FARE review course and proceeded to pass FARE on the very next exam. Thanks Roger!!

– Sean Carlson, KPMG

I will definitely recommend your classes to other people.

Hi Roger, I took your cram courses for the May Exam in San Francisco and I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic class. With just your cram courses and about a bit of studying I was able to pass three parts and come close on the third:
AUD 77
LPR 87
FARE 81
ARE 69
I will definitely recommend your classes to other people. Thank you!

– Gina R., PWC

Thank you so very much, especially, for making us laugh while studying …

Hi Roger, Just got the results!! Passed Audit (86), FARE (93), and Law(77) - the parts I studied for! For ARE I took only the cram course, did not study for it at all, and scored 72... (oh well..wish I studied for at least one day...). Thank you so very much, especially, for making us laugh while studying .... GAAP. Your course really makes all the difference, particularly for us who tried to study while working full time. Best regards

– Oksana Fuchedzhi

Thanks Roger you're truly the best instructor ever!

Thanks to Roger Philipp CPA Review I passed ARE and, LAW for the May 2003 exam. His entertaining teaching system kept me focused. As I was taking the exam his voice rang in my head with all of the helpful mnemonics. Thanks Roger you're truly the best instructor ever!

– Lynn Stover

I strongly believe that the way you broke down the material has made a dramatic impact on my studying plan.

Dear Roger, I am forwarding you the email from my CEO congratulating me for passing the first two parts of CPA examination (Audit and Tax, which I only took under pathway 1). Although, I have put time and studied, I strongly believe that the way you broke down the material has made a dramatic impact on my studying plan. It made it easier to understand, manageable to study time wise, and eventually helped me pass the exam.Well, you have made your name known to those who did not know it before, and you also have two of my friends for your next review course.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

– Said Baharoon

Your material is very good and, helped me to pass the exam.

Hi Roger, I passed the AUDIT exam in May, this is my last part of the CPA exam. I did not take your review class, I only studied your material. Your material is very good and, helped me to pass the exam. I will recommend YOU to my friends to take your review class or study your material if they cannot go to your class. Thank you very much again.

– Sauyee Chan

You took pride & experience in putting the learning material together and delivered it in such a unique way …

Dear Roger, I selected your CPA preparation course and, it was one of the best decision that I've made. 2003 has been a great year for me! Attempted 2 parts in NOV 2002 & 1 part in May 2003, I have passed all 3 parts! Thanks for your great guidance. You took pride & experience in putting the learning material together and delivered it in such a unique way that is very different from all the others. It is you, who have made a difference in my life! Thank you!

– Ming Zhu

… your cram course was all I needed to pass.

Hi Roger, I just wanted to let you know that I passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam! I actually only took your ARE cram course this past May, and I passed with an 85. I've never taken a tax class and I basically only used the materials you provided in to study. This was also my first time sitting for this section so your cram course was all I needed to pass. I definitely learned a lot. Thanks!

– Amy Jun, Deloitte and Touche

No doubt, you, Roger are the best.

Dear Roger, My name is Mandy He, (Man He) I took your review class for Nov 2003 exam. I passed all four parts with terrific scores:
Audit: 90
ARE: 94
FARE: 91
Law: 77 (I am lucky)
I totally understand that I am not able to make it without your unbelievable help. I graduated from Cal State Hayward last June, and started taking your review courses right after that. It was recommended by one of my classmates, who previously took your classes and then passed all four at one time. Now, I will be definitely recommending everyone who intends to be a CPA to take Roger's Review Courses. No doubt, you, Roger are the best. By the way, I want to let you know that I had never taken Auditing or Business Law in school and, I only have taken individual taxes in school. That is why I am think you are so wonderful, with helping me with pass all 4 parts at one time. Again, YOU ARE THE BEST, YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO CAN HELP US TO MAKE OUR DREAMS REAL. Oh, forgot to let you know that I am now working for a very good CPA firm, I got this job two months after taking the CPA Exam. Thank you so much!

– Mandy He

He made learning the exam material fun while using techniques that helped me retain what I was learning.

Hello Roger CPA Review. Thank you so much for making my exam experience enjoyable! I graduated in May 2003, and was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship from you. I enrolled in the review course beginning June 2003 and took all four parts of the exam in November. I looked forward to getting up Sunday mornings to attend class with Roger. He made learning the exam material fun while using techniques that helped me retain what I was learning. As well as teaching the material, Roger gave me insight to the exam taking experience, Through his personal experience, he was able to set the scene for me so when I showed up on November 5, I was not surprised at the process. This decreased my stress level and allowed me to concentrate on the material and not the formalities. Like Roger says, if you put in the hours, you will pass. I did set aside several hours per week, took a few days vacation just prior o the exam and was fortunate enough to pass 3 parts of the November exam (FARE 76, ARE 77, LPR 83). I know if I would have spent a few more hours per week that I would have passed all 4. Since, Roger offers Unconditional Repeats, I signed up for the Audit review class in April, attended every class, did all the homework, scheduled a computer exam time in May 2004 and passed with flying colors, 88. Roger again was very helpful in passing along information regarding the procedures for taking the computerized exam. He gave me key information about the steps to take to apply, schedule my exam time, and also helpful websites like cpa-exam.org, which has a tutorial about the exam and sample questions. Roger has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge that he is excited to share. I feel fortunate to have been able to take advantage of it! Thanks, Roger!
