"Hi Rog, I just wanted to thank you again for your outstanding live course. Your live instruction is incredibly effective and entertaining. I passed all four parts on the first attempt and a few months later I am now a CPA. Anyone interested in passing the CPA Exam should take your live course. I would love to see you conduct CPE courses."
-- Michael Burgess,CPA (MAY 2008)

"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!" -- Bernice Yung (MARCH 2008)

"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."-- Beatriz Quezada-Miranda, President, Latino Business Professionals of San Francisco (MARCH 2008)

"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," -- Diana Ritzert (FEBRUARY 2008)

"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!" -- Manuel Soberanes (FEBRUARY 2008)

"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!!!" -- Jenilee Heninger (JANUARY 2008)

"Roger, I just got my last score and wanted to say thank you!! I passed all of the tests on the first try! Your online course made it easy to work full time and do well on all of the exams (FAR 98, REG 93, AUD 89 and BEC 88). Being able to fit all of the exams in the five months between busy seasons at work made it even better! Thank you Roger! !" -- Stacey Heiser (JANUARY 2008)

"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." -- Vivienne Po Chi Lau (DECEMBER 2007)

"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." -- Andrew Chien (DECEMBER 2007)

"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." -- Mike B (DECEMBER 2007)

"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!" -- Suzanne Luo (DECEMBER 2007)

"I have to say, that I am just beginning the courses, but I can say that I am very entertained. My 3 year old son heard Roger singing 'Yo ho, Yo ho a pirates life for me' on the BEC online course, and he made me listen to it several times. He kept saying 'More!' If he can keep my 3 year old entertained while talking about economics, he can keep anyone entertained."
-- Ace Ensign (DECEMBER 2007)

"Hi Roger, I got 89 on my reg test. I just want to say 'Thank You'. You are the best!" -- Sheila Yao (NOVEMBER 2007)

"Roger, Just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for you staff. Without exception, every time I call they are very helpful, extremely knowledgeable about all of the products and very customer focused. To top it all off, I was having problems viewing one of the Cram tapes on Thanksgiving day. I sent an email to TechSupport and continued studying the book. A little while later I happened to check my mail and there was a note from Steven with the solution! All I can say is that I am totally impressed!
Sincerely," -- Bruce Campbell (NOVEMBER 2007)

"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!!!" -- Ray Beeman, Senior Accountant AMAG Technology (NOVEMBER 2007)

"Just wanted to pen out a quick 'Thank You!' note on your great preparation courses. Did the 'cram' for Auditing and scored a 82%. Whizzed through in 3 hours. Thanks!" -- Steven Moore, CMA (NOVEMBER 2007)

"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." -- Jennifer Lai, Milpitas (NOVEMBER 2007)

“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." -- Mike B. (OCTOBER 2007)

"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!" --Megan (OCTOBER 2007)

"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."  --Sophia Xu (SEPTEMBER 2007)

"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." -- Judy Rhodes (AUGUST 2007)

"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. Everyone should be able to pass the exam after taking your classes because you do an excellent job teaching and explaning exactly what we need to know to pass. Once again thank you."-- Ivelina Manning  (AUGUST 2007)

"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!" -- Bart Tolley, Burr Pilger Mayer (AUGUST 2007)

"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!" --Tim Horn, Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott LLP (JULY 2007)

"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!" — Smita Pawar (JULY 2007)

"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!" — Duan Wei (JULY 2007)

"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" — Raymond Vallecer, Hong Kong (JUNE 2007)

"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" — Jean Yang, (JUNE 2007)

"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 (DECEMBER 2006)

“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 (DECEMBER 2006)

“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 (OCTOBER 2006)

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 (JULY 2006)

“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 (DECEMBER 2005)

“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.” --- Jack Harris (FEBRUARY 2006)

“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!” — Michelle Garcia, KPMG (JANUARY 2006)

“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.” --- Iana Zemniakova, Accounting Manager, Teleset, Inc. (JANUARY 2006)

"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. (MARCH 2006)

"Just wanted to say thanks! I took your video course and passed all 4 parts on my first try! I was even able to successfully study for and take two of them in the middle of busy season at work. Any instructor who can keep me awake and motivated to study accounting after coming home from a 13+ hour workday must be doing something right. Your mnemonics were really helpful and effective, and I really appreciated the energy you put into teaching the courses. I'm recommending you to all my coworkers and accounting friends. Thanks again! I couldn't have done it without you!”
--- Celia Lau, Deloitte (OCTOBER 2005)

"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." --- Olga Ratnovskaya, Ernst & Young, LLP (SEPTEMBER 2005)

“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 (JULY 2005)

“I passed Financial! I took Roger’s online class and did the homework as he suggested. It only took me 23 days to do that, and I passed the exam with an 88! It would not have possible without Roger’s class. He has a unique teaching style and a very fun class. You never get bored in his class. He uses stories and mnemonics to make the concepts understandable. A lot of the concepts that never made sense to me before hand became extremely easy after taking Roger’s class. His funny jokes liven the class as well. I would refer Roger to any potential CPA candidates that I know. Roger has the perfect character to teach for the CPA exam. Thanks a lot Roger and I can’t wait to take the other 3 parts!" --- Bita Moore, Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt (SEPTEMBER 2005)

"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 (JULY 2005)

"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 (2ND QUARTER2005)

“I passed Financial! :) Roger Roger Roger you are REALLY the best! I only studied for 23 days and got through the exam with an 88! it could not have been possible without your help. I will make sure to let my firm know about my results before Karen calls to follow up. That way I am not just talking about your course, I have actually some good proof! Take care! Wish me good luck for Auditing on Oct 4.” — Bita Moore, CSUN (SEPTEMBER 2005)

"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!!!" --- Jennifer Calmus -Hayashi & Wayland (APRIL 2005)

“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.” --- Andrea Okos, Macias Gini & Co., LLP (APRIL 2005)

"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

"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!'"--- Jennifer Dowdell, GGU

“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

"Hi Roger, I studied intensively using your online course. The online course was perfect for me because I was impressed by YOUR energy and humor but I didn't want to drive to San Francisco every week. I just took the Audit portion of the Computerized CPA exam. I feel that I was very well prepared! Some of the questions on the exam were almost verbatim sample questions that I had been practicing. Your course organizes and structures a great deal of information and uses mnemonics to help students remember it. After taking the exam and being able to recite and understand so much information, I have a great deal of respect for mnemonics and your course. Thank you."---Keith Archer

“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 (MARCH, 2005)

"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 (SEPTEMBER 2005)

"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. (MARCH 2005)

“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 (APRIL 2005)

"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!" --- Samantha Jaffe, Deloitte

"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

"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!" --- Laura Degano, MSA (Taxation) – The McClatchy Company, (FEBRUARY 2004 )

“I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I passed all four parts my first time..... I couldn't have done it without your ONLINE classes. They worked right around my schedule. When I took the test I didn't feel at all anxious because you had gone over everything that was on the test. Your style and humor kept me awake and I actually ENJOYED studying. Don't worry Mountain Due is on the way. You’re awesome!...” --- Milla Austin

"Dear Professor Roger, Thank you so much to help me pass my last part of Regulation. After struggling, I finally reached my goal! Once again, thank you the online course.... a wonderful course that I will recommend to other people. Sincerely," --- Andy Yeh (MAY 2005)

“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

"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." --- Tom Lagomarsino

"Roger and Staff, You guys rock! I know I only took your cram courses, but there is no doubt in my mind that those courses were the reason why I passed all 4 parts on my first try. I actually took a different review course besides your cram, and that was the biggest waste of money ever! Anyone can tell candidates how to underline and highlight a book. But you actually taught the material and added a lot of enthusiasm throughout the lessons (which kept me awake and attentive). That is why I wanted to take the time out of my busy season to thank you for your help and more importantly, your genuine desire to help your students pass and not go through the pains of taking the exam again. Thanks Rog." --- Jotham-Jermaine Castro Ty, Staff Auditor Macias, Gini & Company LLP

"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

-Nov 2003 exam- "When I decided to take the CPA exam, I knew I wanted to pass it the first time. All that time studying and then not pass and have to do it all over again? Didn't want to let that happen. So I needed a review course. But which one? All the in-person review courses in my state were too far away to be convenient. So I went online and found Roger's website. It billed him as dynamic and fun, while at the same time providing solid and well-organized instruction. I bought the videotapes and books and began my program of self-study, and found him and his teaching to be everything the advertisements and testimonials said. There were a lot of lectures to go through, but his energy and enthusiasm kept me interested and motivated. The content was well-organized, and the memory-aids made important topics easy to remember. Some of the material I was hearing for the first time, too, but he made it easy to understand. And he spent plenty of time working through examples of the various types of problems. Who else teaches you how to answer essay and other-objective-format questions? It took 4 months of solid, full-time study (nobody ever said something worthwhile should be easy), but in the end, I passed the CPA exam in one sitting (94 Audit, 88 Business Law, 99 FARE, 99 ARE). And that was after being out of school for 2 years! Thanks, Roger, for giving me a leg up in this next phase of my career!"---Judson Sagers, Cohen DuFour LLP, Princeton, NJ

"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!" --- Carolina Sathler, Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co LLP

“Roger, call me sick, but I almost found the classes and test enjoyable. I took the Roger Philipp cram course and was able to pass three parts of the exam on the first try. The only additional work necessary was some review of the materials given out in the course and completion of some of the sample problems (also included in the materials). Using only his materials I received from the original cram class, I completed the work mentioned above and raised my score to over 80.  The entire process was not too painful.  I think the key is that Roger mixes in the right amount of humor, knowledge, unpredictability and experience to keep you going through the long days of cramming.  If you are the type of person who enjoys and succeeds with fast-paced concentrated learning, then the Roger Philipp CPA Cram course is the way to go.  Thanks Roger!  Sincerely,” ---Scott Kimbrough, Frank, Rimerman & Company, LLP (San Francisco)

“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!” — Sarah Mason, KPMG

"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.

"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!!! 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." ---Ravi Prakash

“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”.
— Scott Ernst, Ernst & Young

"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. " — Alex Khodadad

"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."
— Linda Hurley, Macias, Gini & Co.

"In simplest terms, not only Roger Phillip'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!" — Danny Chen

“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!”
— Andrea Keefer, Deloitte and Touche

“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”. — Sadhna Kumar

"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!" --- Connie Lin

"Roger Philipp Rocks. He's the best instructor I've ever had". — Marshall Diaz

"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

"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!" —Trisha Moore

"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."— Aaron Cohen, Smith, Lange & Phillips LLP

"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 :)"—Sonal Solanki

"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

"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

"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

"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 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

"Thanks to you I passed my CPA exam with excellent marks. I have scored 94 in Law(LPR) and 92 in Tax(ARE). I had attended the cram at San Francisco for both these subjects and also the full review for ARE ealier. I think your style is inimitable and most fantastic. Please keep up the good work. Best regards! "--Deepa Khanapurkar

"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

"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". --- Jonathan Plehn, Global Consolidations

"The Roger Philipp 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. Rogers'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! "--- Dan Baldi

"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 Philipp 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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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 to Roger Phillip 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

"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

"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

"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!

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

"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

“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

"Hello Roger Philipp 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!” --- Gayle Smith, PKF CPA’s
