I used the Roger CPA Review USB Course to study for the exam. Using Roger's course I was able to work full time and pass on my first try in less than a year! I am so glad I chose Roger and I would recommend his course to anyone!
Thank you for this amazing review course! I graudated with my BS in accounting 20+ years ago and it has always been my dream to be a CPA. Kids, work, life, etc always kept me from really making the CPA a priority. However, twice I tried to study using Convisor Duffy but never gained enough confidence to take the exam. After 20 years of working in governmental accounting and auditing, I went back to school and earned a Masters in Accounting. Then decided to keep going and work on passing the CPA exams. I am so glad I found the Roger CPA review course. The self-paced program fit my work/life schedule, the study calendars helped to keep me on track, and the videos and practice problems worked with my learning style. The videos were entertaining; sometimes my teenage daughters would watch with me just to hear Roger's corny jokes. I am happy to say that I passed all 4 parts on my first attempt!
Just checked my AUD score! I got 90!!! Not in a million years would I thought my grade would be so high. I reviewed all videos a few days before the exam and it worked!!! Thank you Roger!!! Well, party is over-Time to study for the next!
I've passed 3 of the sections on my first try and one on my 2nd. Basically, I did exactly what Roger told me to do! He goes over the material in a manner that holds your attention and emphasizes the concepts that you NEED to know. And I have him and his excellent review course to thank for my success with the exam. Thanks Roger!
Thanks Roger! Another exam down... 79 on REG - My first try! This stuff really works.
So far with the help of Roger, I have passed the FAR and AUD sections of the exam on my first attempts. As an averagae student in school I know Roger's energy and structure helped me pass these exams!
I switched from another program, did not pass once... The program was very boring and disengaging. Now with Rogers CPA 3 for 3 and working on #4! Thanks Rog!
Thanks Roger! 3 Down 1 to go and I've never felt more comfortable taking a test. The CPA exam is not hard if you listen to Roger's lectures and study hard, I haven't even needed to open the homework books because Roger is that good! 87 Far, 86 Reg, 87 BEC
I just wanted to say thank you. I took AUD and REG (USB) courses with you and have passed with a 82 on AUDIT and 85 on REG. I took REG with other CPA review course but struggled with it (failed 3 times with a low 60s). I switched to Roger and passed with an 85. I love your instruction style. Again thank you.
I passed BEC with 81! My first two exams passed on the first try.
I passed BEC with 81! My first two exams passed on the first try. Thank you, Roger!
Been out of school for 10 years, Roger helped me score an 85 on FAR, awesome.
I passed FAR! Wow what a relief! 'If you study, you will pass.' Thanks Rog!
Thanks Roger! I found out today I passed the last section, AUD! I started and passed the other three sections of the CPA exam with another course (Yaeger). I had studied and taken AUD twice and could not stand the thought of listening to their DVD's for a third time. That's when I ordered AUD from Roger and it is awesome. He even makes you laugh. Audit was a subject I really didn't care about and I can honestly say studying was much easier and entertaining with Roger. When I originally bought the other course it was because I could buy the DVDs and have them forever until you pass. With Roger you were limited to one year. I would say dont let this be your deciding issue because if I can pass within one year, so can you!
Thanks to Roger and his support staff for filling my head with all the goods I need.
Just phoned Oklahoma Accountancy Board... I passed REG! Thanks to Roger and his support staff for filling my head with all the goods I need. A big thanks also to my family and friends for all the support, encouragement, and babysitting. ;)
I have a BS in Computer Science and took the minimum number of accounting courses to qualify for the CPA exams.I passed all four exams on the first try.Roger provides the tools to be successful.The textbooks are succinct and the videos present the information necessary to pass the exams.Roger's mneumonics work!
I would highly recommend Roger CPA Review to all my friends. I passed all 4 sections on the 1st try in less than 6 months, while going to school full-time and working a part-time internship. Roger gives you the motivation you need to stay focused to pass this monster of an exam!
Once again Roger is simply amazing! I stuck to the game plan and I passed two more sections. I am more motivated than ever to pass this last section with Roger! There is no doubt in my mind that it won't happen.
Thanks to the help of Roger CPA review course I was able to pass all four sections of the CPA test.The USB course provide me with the flexibility to study when I wanted to study (with or without the internet), and Rogers high energy teaching style and positive attitude helped keep me focused.Dont fool yourself, studying for this test can be a grind, both mentally and emotionally.Roger helped calm the nerves (even making me laugh on many occasions) making this long process as pleasant as it inherently could be.Thanks again Roger!
I passed all 4 sections on the first try using Roger's course, and I'm so happy I didn't end up having to pay to sit for exams more than once.Thanks Roger!
Just received a passing score on FAR and couldnt be more thrilled! Thanks to RogerCPA for giving me the tools to succeed!
Thanks for helping me pass FAR!
Hi Roger! Thanks to your AWESOME review course, I passed all 4 sections of the exam on the first try in only 3.5 months!!!
Roger, we had a fabulous run over the past year. I owe a lot of my success to you. It will be odd not seeing your face every week now, but it's time for me to move on. Thank you so much for your course and all around support through this whole process! You're THE best!
I passed on my first try! Thanks Roger, your course really helped!
I passed on my first try! Thanks Roger, your course really helped!
After switching to Roger I was able to pass Auditing with A 92 and just passed FAR to complete my series of testing.
I am finally a CPA! After a year and a half studying and hundreds of cups of coffee, I have finally passed all parts of the CPA exam! After failing BEC and AUD I honestly felt that I would never accomplish my goal of becoming a CPA. I started with another review program and after wasting time, money and not getting passing results, I switched to Roger. I studied with the USB drive which was very convient for me and my schedule. After switching to Roger I was able to pass Auditing with A 92 and just passed FAR to complete my series of testing. (REG-75 BEC-80 AUD-92 FAR-78) I have always been a decent student through school, only getting one C in my whole academic career. Little did I know that I was in for a wake up call when sitting for these exams. They can shake your confidence and these tests can make you lose faith in yourself but do not let them! Be determined, study hard and do exactly what Roger wants you to do and you will become a CPA. Roger lays out a detailed study plan, follow it!
Thanks Roger. With your study material and lectures, I was able to pass FAR on my first try.
What I absolutely love about the USB course is that I can take it anywhere and rewind something Rogers said if I missed it.
In a classroom setting, I sometimes don't always focus on the lecture because I'm too busy reading something in my text book. What I absolutely love about the USB course is that I can take it anywhere and rewind something Rogers said if I missed it.
Thank you for your encouragement and inspiring videos.
I passed FAR and REG in the July/Aug window. For these two subjects I did depend on your video lectures. With this my journey of becoming a CPA came to a happy ending. Thank you for your encouragement and inspiring videos.
I didn't know what to expect heading into my first exam, but I kept to Roger's method. Listen to the lectures, do the homework problems and say to yourself 'if you do this you will pass.' I did exactly that and got an 88 on REG! One down, three to go!
Really good material!!! At the beginning I studied alone and i followed another method without any results. After buying your course I passed all 4 sections. All material clear especially regulation that for me, an Italian guy, is really far from my knowledge.
Thank you Roger!Your course is very helpful with all the necessary material needed to pass the exams in a easy to understand manner and clear breakdowns.I passed all four parts in eight months with 88, 89, 95, and 99.
Thank you!I passed all 4 exams on the first try.I appreciated your energy levels.
I have to say - I'm glad I watched the demo of Becker and Roger before I made my decision, because Roger is definitely more interesting to listen to, which I really think will help with studying!
I teach college accounting.Our styles are similar (high energy, fun, informative).Even still, YOU make me a BETTER instructor!!!THANK YOU!!!
I just sat for my 4th section of the exam and have passed all other sections on the first attempt FAR(94), BEC(81), REG(93).
I just sat for my 4th section of the exam and have passed all other sections on the first attempt FAR(94), BEC(81), REG(93). I could never have done this without Roger. There isn't a topic that was on my exams that wasn't covered in either lecture, Roger's book, or the homework book. The staff at Roger CPA Review is amazing too. I had a few homework questions and technical issues and everyone was so quick to offer assitance. In my opinion there is no better review course.
Taking Roger CPA Review course was one of the smartest decisions I have made. His lectures are so up beat that you just have to pay attention to see what Roger will do/say next. It is great to have him teach the class since he is the one that actually wrote the books. I passed all 4 parts my first try. I passed 3 within 2 months and the last one the following month. Thank you so much Roger for making this long process as painless as possible :)
Thanks Roger! I was really nervous to take the exams after being out of school for 5 years. Your classes made studying for the exam fun (well as fun as it could be). I passed each section on my first try!! I would definitely recommend your course to anyone studying for the exam!(AUD & BEC 87, FAR 97, REG 99)
Having taken and retaken the exam under the instruction of three other CPA review courses (Convisor Duffy, Becker and Micromash) with marginal success, I know first hand that Roger's review is not only unique but is the only truly effective course around... Thanks Roger!
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.
One down, three to go. I passed in my first try, I think you have a great and straight forward method. I could have passed without your class, but it would have taken a lot more of my time!
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.
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.
I passed all four sections on my first try using Roger's USB course. I know I would have not passed with out it. Thanks Roger, you really are great at teaching the material.
… your ability to explain concepts in everyday language with real life examples helped me to raise my FAR score... to an amazing 85!!!
Roger; You definitely need to cut down on the Mountain Dew, but your ability to explain concepts in everyday language with real life examples helped me to raise my FAR score from a series of 68, 71 to an amazing 85!!! Listen to Rogers advice, not only on the subject matter, BUT also how to take the test, his approach will help you to navigate around the built in stumbling blocks.
Roger's review is not only unique but is the only truly effective course around …
Having taken and retaken the exam under the instruction of three other CPA review courses (Convisor Duffy, Becker and Micromash) with marginal success, I know first hand that Roger's review is not only unique but is the only truly effective course around... Thanks Roger!
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.
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.
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 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.
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 lecture is the best one I have ever had …
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
He's the best instructor I've ever had.
Roger Philipp Rocks. He's the best instructor I've ever had.
Your classes are always fun and you make the most complicated subject easy to understand.
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!
You are the best teacher that I ever had.
You are the best teacher that I ever had. I passed the CPA exam last November, and I can tell you that most of the credit goes to you, for inspiring me and keeping us awake in the evenings after a 10 hour workday.
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!
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!
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, 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.
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
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
… 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!
I passed all four parts! I couldn't have done it without your classes. Thank you! Sincerely,
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!
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!
… 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.
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,
Roger is a very enthusiastic & knowledgeable teacher.
Roger is a very enthusiastic & knowledgeable teacher. He explains things very clearly and his humorous examples help the students to remember the accounting rules. I recommend his class to everyone I know who is studying!
Roger's teaching passion persuades and makes us achieve what we, CPA exam takers, have always wanted to be …
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!
You are a fantastic instructor …
You are a fantastic instructor, and are highly recommended by myself and my staff within our office. We will continue to recruit new students for you as they enter this insane profession of public accounting.
Roger Philipp review course was one of the best investments that I have made …
I just want to say that Roger Philipp review course was one of the best investments that I have made. Thank you Roger for helping me pass the CPA exam. I couldn't do it without you. If you want an even better chance of passing the exam I highly recommend the 2 weeks cram course.
Thanks to your unparalleled knowledge and awesome teaching abilities I was able to score very high on the exam …
Thanks to your unparalleled knowledge and awesome teaching abilities I was able to score very high on the exam...FARE 90, LPR 92, ARE 94...I will certainly recommend you to my colleagues and any students I meet.
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.
… 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!
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
… 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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
I bought your video course for ARE for the Nov 2003 exam, and I want you to know you have an amazing ability to take such difficult material and present it in a way that totally makes sense. You cut out all the BS and focus only on what is most important, and serve it in a way that is very entertaining. True story, I will be watching your classes in the other room and start laughing out loud, and my wife will come in to yell at me to study, and see that I AM studying and walk away disappointed for losing out on a chance to yell at me. And sometimes she even stays and watched a little bit, even though she is an RN and has no interest in accounting. I have taken other review courses that have only held me back. You absolutely blow them away. On another note, I like the way you run your business also. Not only did I receive the tapes 2 days after I ordered them but when watching one of the ARE tapes, my VCR shredded the tape and I called you and you sent a new one and I received that the next day. I didn't even skip a beat. I wanted to thank you for that.
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!
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.
Thank You Roger, I passed all my CPA exam sections with only one try!!! I know I wouldn't be able to do this without you! Thank you so much!!
I just got my FAR score and I passed with a 79! I can honestly say I could not have done it without Roger as it has been over 20 years since I took an accounting class. I would highly recommend Roger's course for any one wanting to pass the CPA exam. Thank you! Sincerely yours,
So far so good! 1 down and 3 to go! Took the FARE class in January, took the exam towards the end of February, and just received a 79 as my advisory score. Finished the Audit class 2 weeks ago and the next exam is in April.I hope to continue to have good news to pass on. Thank you Roger. See you in REG next month.
Roger, You are awesome. I only wish you could have been my teacher in college for ALL my accounting classes. I think every CPA exam student should know about your program, your teaching style and humor make your course the best. Thanks for helping me pass AUDIT on my first try. I hear you are also starting to teach Live at Portland State making me wish those would have been available sooner. Nevertheless, more people can see why your program works and pass the word along.
… it is as entertaining as accounting can be.
Just writing to say, thanks to Roger Philipp's USB course, I passed all four parts on the first attempts! The course taught me how to study smart and it is as entertaining as accounting can be. Thank you!
Hi Roger! I was a rep for your company at California State University San Marcos, ending Fall 07. I received my review package and slowly began studying. Once I finally received my NTS from the State of CA - and it seems to take forever, I hit the studying hard. I took Audit yesterday. Believe it or not I only took 2.5 hours! I felt so prepared and ready to go. There didn't seem to be any areas of surprise. Everyone told me I would walk out feeling like I had been kicked in the gut. Well, I sure didn't. I'm talking BEC in 2 weeks and REG 3 weeks after that. Your methods are great and make sense. Thank you!!!!!
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,
I really enjoyed your teaching style …
Hi Roger CPA Review, Thanks for a great class! I really enjoyed your teaching style and all the staff was terrific in helping out with all the logistics. I passed all sections well within the first year of working thanks to your great study book and materials! Thanks again,
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,
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.
I can't believe I actually passed. After studying for weeks I felt like I failed when I walked out. I thought I'd be re-taking your review course. I really can't believe it. I got a 75! I can't believe all my studying actually paid off!!! Thanks for all your help! I PASSED!
… he makes complex concepts look very simple and understandable by using humor, practical examples and examination focused materials …
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. Thanking you with Best Regards
Great staff, great program …
I am not quite done....one more to go. But, I wanted to thank all of the staff at Roger CPA Review, especially Adrienne, who has been more than helpful!!!! Great staff, great program... can't wait to be done ;-) Thanks!
The information provided in the videos is invaluable. Not too much, not too little. They are also much more entertaining than the competition. Everyone else at my company uses one of other CPA review courses and they're always complaining about trying to stay awake and pay attention during the videos. I never had that problem and I actually felt like I learned a lot from the course. It kind of tied it all together. Thanks!
Roger CPA Review Course is the best and with the most updated CPA exam questions. I took both the live and online courses with Roger and I believe anyone can pass the CPA exam if you follow Roger's teach and study.
It is ALL thanks to Roger (and my fellow peers that told me about you).
I want say a BIG THANK YOU to Roger. I passed FAR on my first try (I got a 77)!!! I have never passed any of the other exams on my first try. It is ALL thanks to Roger (and my fellow peers that told me about you). I have continued to spread the word and I just purchased online BEC (my last part). Thanks again.
… 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!
Hi Roger, This time i wrote AUD and BEC. Today i got my BEC result. You will be happy to know that I got 85. I did not get AUD score yet. I took your USB course as well as cram course for both AUD and BEC that gave me a lot of confidence. During the exam, i felt like i know the stuff, its mainly because of your nice teaching style. I will be extremely happy if i get through the AUD section as well. My AUD exam was also good. As i said, for audit exam also, i felt like i really know the stuff. It's again because of your nice course and teaching style that makes quite confident. As soon as i get the AUD score, i will let you know. Meantime, i am studying FAR and REG and again I am using your USB course that is extremely helpful. I believe anyone who is serious about CPA exam and studying hard should take your course that will give him a lot of confidence as well as an extra edge to pass the exam for sure. Thanks and regards,
Roger provides very energetic and effective reviews of all you need to know.
Roger, CPA review professional, provides very energetic and effective reviews of all you need to know. The result: you pass. I started Roger's review course in June, and by end of November, I took all four modules and passed.
Your teaching method and materials really inspired me …
Hi Roger! I want to say thank you for your 50+ hrs of lively classes. Your teaching method and materials really inspired me a lot and helped me pass all the exams on the first time. You are GREAT! Thank you.
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!!!
You are one of the best instructors …
Hi Roger, I'm currently studying for the CPA exam and I am finding your course very very helpful. You are one of the best instructors at breaking down the information in a simple format that I can use to get the big picture. Thanks!
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 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!
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 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.
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.
I just wanted to let you guys know that Roger really helped me finally pass the CPA exam. I was having a lot of difficulty with FARE and was worried that I wouldn't pass in time. I got the USB course and started studying. I had been a student of another CPA course before and besides boring me out of my mind, it didn't really do anything for me. Roger really helped me to understand the material and not just memorize how to take the test. My FARE score went from a 69 to an 85. I just wanted to say, thanks again for helping me pass!
… 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!
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.
… 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!
I Passed FARE 92, BEC 80, and REG 85 on the first try. Took AUD in January and am waiting for the results any day now. One thing I do know without a doubt is that I would not have achieved this success without Roger. He's an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend him to anyone taking the exam. I used his videos, (now USB Drive Course) and after spending G-d knows how many hours with him, I feel like I personally know the guy. He explicitly explains topics that maybe didn't seem so clear when covering them in college classes. One example is pensions in FARE. That is one topic I just couldn't grasp in my intermediate accounting class. But Roger did it for me. SPIDER made it all come together, and I probably had 6 or 7 pension questions on the exam. There are many other instances like the pension example that Roger helped me out with immensely. Trust Roger. The videos and the books provided are the only materials I used, and so far I'm 3 for 3. He teaches you what you need to know to conquer the exam. If you know his material, you will pass, plain and simple.
… 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,
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.
Roger, I love your energy on your video course that I've been taking. Even though I study at 6 am everyday, I absolutely find myself energized by your animated teaching style and the obvious passion that you have for teaching. You're the only person I know who gets this excited about accounting. You teach the details of each topic in a way that I'm learning it but you also give me the mnemonics to help me pass the exam. I could never remember all of the elements that go into pension cost, but your SPIDER acronym made it so that all I have to do on the next exam is remember one word. One of the things that has really helped me study is the way that you have broken down every concept into simple and straightforward sections that I can understand. When there is a section that I don't understand, I back up the video and watch it again until I get it. The video also has hundreds of examples that help make sense of the topic. After the video, I reread each section then do the questions and find myself visualizing your examples from the video to figure out the answer. You're an absolute genius and I would recommend your course to anybody serious about passing the exam. Thanks!
I just want to thank you for all your help in overcoming the CPA Exam Blues.... After taking your Video CPA Review Course (now USB Drive Course), I was better prepared for the exam by utilizing all your unique techniques and materials covered in your course compared to the other's courses I have used in the past. The material was very well prepared and to the point. The Video course (now USB Drive Course) was very helpful for me since I used it around my busy work schedule. I also used your Exam Cram to review before the exam and was able to recite a lot of the key points while taking the exam. I think your teaching style and easy to comprehend materials made all the difference for me. You are the best!
Getting your REG review Video Tapes (now USB Drive Course) and Books was the best decision I made. I purchased the entire Becker Review on CD-Rom and dreaded preparing with that course due to the monotony of the lecture which consists of an audio-visual lecture that recites word for word what is in the book then pauses and tells you ..read the next 5-6 paragraphs on your own, begin then starts back up and recites what you just read. From the minute I started your lecture it was exciting, even my wife found it interesting and sat down to watch with me. You make the course interesting and invigorating but most important help connect the disparate pieces of information so that it all makes sense. If I can't pass ARE with your review course I won't pass with anyone else's. Extremely Grateful in Miami,
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,
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!
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!
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!
Dear Roger: I wanted to let you know that I passed the Regulation exam with a score of 81. I could have not done it without taking your dynamic classes. Your teaching style and your advice on how to approach the studying helped me a lot to achieve my goal. I watched your VIDEO by part and, I did all the tests related to that part. When I was done with all the classes I went back and did all the tests once again that time on the software. That was so easy, I just followed your advice. Thank you again.
I'm a procrastinator and had waited until approximately six weeks before the exam to begin studying. I did my research to determine who's instructional material I would purchase. I definitely knew I wanted to purchase CPA Videos (now USB Drive Course) so that I could study from home, as I have a very busy schedule. I called several places for materials, which everyone said I would not be able to appropriately study for the exam whether I was sitting for two or four parts, as I had waited until the last minute. I called and spoke with Roger, who stated it was not too late and that he has several people who wait till the last minute and pass with no problems. In fact, he stated he has people take the cram courses (courses available the week prior to the exam) and pass. I was hesitate to begin studying so late in the game as this was the first time I was going to sit for the exam. I purchased materials for two parts, definitely did not study the required or suggested amount of time and passed with no problems. I can't say enough about Roger's encouragement and materials, as I relied solely on his materials to get me through the exam, which it did. I passed! Thanks Roger!
Roger Philipp's class is very dynamic! He teaches his classes in a motivating way that keeps students interested. He teaches you what you need to know and leaves out all the dry material that is not necessary to pass the exam. I took the video course of FARE and Regulation and passed them both my first time. I have not taken the other parts yet, but I am sure if I use Roger's materials thoroughly I will continue to be successful with the exams. With his creative teaching style, you can't go wrong!!!
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!
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!
I passed all 4 parts! I am really glad to have more than one CPA review course in the bay area. I had an opportunity to compare Roger's course and Becker Conviser classes. I concluded that it is much easier and not that painful to study with Roger's explanations and real life examples. Also, it is very easy to reach Roger or his team - they always answer the phone and help. I would recommend to buy tapes or online classes and watch them again and again. I was surprised how easy it is to read the text book after you watched the video. I still had to study though:)) I would like to wish Roger good luck in his business.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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 are the best!
Hi Roger, I got 89 on my reg test. I just want to say 'Thank You'. You are the best!
Hey Roger, I had taken Becker before your course and was no where near as entertained and informed. Just took Audit and got 75!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your help. Look forward to the next set of lectures and Mountain Dew cans!!!
… you enjoy teaching and that had a positive influence on us …
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!
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.
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.
I have just got my scores BEC-90 AUD-90. Thank you Roger. I was confident I had done well and am now preparing for the REG & FAR (obviously using your CPA Review).
He takes complex accounting concepts and simplifies them in a way that is understandable.
Roger Philipp is simply the best accounting instructor I've ever had. His teaching methods are very effective and his lectures were always very engaging. He takes complex accounting concepts and simplifies them in a way that is understandable. You actually walk away from his course feeling like you understand accounting and not just memorized it. I followed all his advice and managed to pass all sections of the exam on my first try within six months. Roger Philipp you truly rock! You have a wonderful self-depricating sense of humor. You actually made me look forward to sitting for the exam. Thank you for helping me finally put the exam behind me.
I love Roger's teaching style.
I love Roger's teaching style. He appears to have a genuine interest in helping people pass the CPA exam. His enthusiasm and self-depricating humor are a selling point to his course.
I liked being able to take the USB course at my own pace. Also appreciated Roger's enthusiasm for the subject and tips for studying and test taking.
Not only did I absorb the information necessary for the test, but I actually learned the information!
Well, I just got my advisory score back for REG and I passed! All tests are done. Not only did I absorb the information necessary for the test, but I actually learned the information! Thanks, Roger, for making it easy and breaking it down in a manner in which the information is understandable! You are the best!
I listened to everything you taught and told us to do and I did it! Thank you!
Hi Roger! I just wanted to thank you so much for your course! I recently passed the FAR section and can't thank you enough for your teaching style and motivation to get me through this. I listened to everything you taught and told us to do and I did it! Thank you!
He makes things easy and his lectures are full of energy.
My friends all attended Roger and they recommended the USB program to me when I had finally decided to take the CPA exams. As many have mentioned, his lectures are very dynamic. He makes things easy and his lectures are full of energy. He makes the subject very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures. I passed all four subjects in my first attempt - thanks to all your teaching, tips and material. I have been very sincere in following your advice while studying and it has sure paid off. I would recommend this course to everyone I know.
All your stories and mnemonics were awesome and I think you are the best teacher!!
Hi Roger! I passed all four sections of the CPA exam! Thank you so much for being such a fun and exciting person. You made studying for the exam so much more bearable with your upbeat and silly personality. I've watched your videos so many times that I feel like I know you!! All your stories and mnemonics were awesome and I think you are the best teacher!! Even though I'm done with the exam, I'm having Roger withdrawals, and am tempted to watch your videos just for fun. What's wrong with me?! Who is going to keep me entertained now ;) Keep doing what you're doing, you are fantastic at it!!! Thank you so much!!!
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.
Thanks also for reminding me that I actually like what I do.
Thank you Roger! You are an amazing teacher. With your course I was able to pass the entire exam on my first try, within 7 months. Thanks also for reminding me that I actually like what I do. Concepts that burned me out in school, like cost accounting, now seem fun and interesting again. Best wishes!
I used your study session for AUD, and all I can say is 96 out of 99.
Roger, I used your study session for AUD, and all I can say is 96 out of 99. Thank you for your insightful class. This was my first attempt at the CPA exam so I was very nervous and apprehensive about the whole process. Your materials and classes were a great asset, and gave me confidence to know I will be prepared come exam time.
Thanks to your USB course I am 2 for 2, passing audit and reg on the first attempt.
I PASSED! I passed I passed I passed! Thank you for your enthusiasm and teaching style.
I just wanted to say THANKS! I originally took another review course with little success. I thoroughly enjoyed Rogers teaching style and enthusiasm. I looked forward to studying and found an even greater passion in my career choice. I've passed all four sections and am so excited to have achieved this goal. Thank you again!
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 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!
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.
All you have to do is watch the lectures and study how Roger tells you …
Roger Philipp helped me pass all four sections of the CPA Exam in less than a year!! All you have to do is watch the lectures and study how Roger tells you, and you'll have all four sections passed before you know it. Thanks Rog!!!
Hi Roger, I really, really appreciate your course material and your lectures in passing my CPA exam. I took other courses for CPA preparation but didn't have any luck. I took your course as my last attempt before giving up my hopes to become a CPA and fortunately it worked and I finally passed all four exams within a year. Again I really appreciate it and, of course, I am going to miss you because you were always with me (in the shape of books, lectures and software) within the last eight months to prepare me to succeed in the CPA exam. Keep it up... Thanks
Your lectures were lively and entertaining, while providing the information necessary to achieve my goal.
Roger, I want to thank you and your staff for assisting me with passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try. The flexibility of the USB course was great. Your lectures were lively and entertaining, while providing the information necessary to achieve my goal.
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.
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,
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.
… you have a great and straight forward method.
One down, three to go. I passed in my first try, I think you have a great and straight forward method. I could have passed without your class, but it would have taken a lot more of my time!
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.
