"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 Philipp 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 coursesand I passed the exam. Wishing you all the best.  Regards," -- Sridhar Srirangam (APRIL 2008)

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

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

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

If anyone wants to be a CPA, do not delay, go for Roger CPA review courses, study hard, follow Roger's instructions and become a CPA." -- Nazmul Karim (MARCH 2008)

"Just want to let you know, that I passed all my CPA exams, using your online course to study, because I am based in the United Kingdom. I am happy I chose your course over others I saw on the internet! Thanks!" — Olasunkanmi Steve-Fagbemi (Sukkie) (OCTOBER 2006)

“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!” — Kevin Lawson, Beaird Harris & Co., P.C. (JULY 2006)

“I would like to report to you that, thanks to Roger's Cram course, I passed FARE and now I'm CPA! Roger's 16-hour FARE cram was such fun to watch even for a non-English speaker like me. I watched it three times, including the night before the exam day. I noticed on the exam day that the cram covered all the critical exam materials in sufficient depth. I would like to thank Roger for keeping my motivation so high without any pain. Honestly, I feel extremely unlucky that I couldn't watch Roger's course on other three subjects (REG, AUD, BEC) which I had already passed. I highly recommend Roger's program. As the next step, I'm now planning to take CIA exam. I wish Roger also teaches CIA course which I would certainly buy. Warmest regards", — Setsuya Sato (JAPAN MAY 2006)

"Hi Roger, I just received my final exam score and I have officially passed the CPA exam! Here's the scores: FARE 84, REG 91, BEC 78, and AUD 78.I am a former Becker Campus Rep who did not pass after taking their course. Now that I am married with a small child, and working full time, I didn't have time to attend in class lectures. Instead I opted for the convenience of your online course. I truly enjoyed the hours we spent together late at night. Well, it was good for me anyway :-) Your dynamic teaching style was truly helpful in getting me pumped up, focused and motivated to do what it took to pass the exam. I am grateful to you and your course. I already recommend you to all my friends. I relocated to Colorado and recommended you to a co-worker here...so you just might have a new customer! All the best," — Jackie Compton (MARCH 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)

"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)

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

"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

"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)

"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, William Menchero

"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!" — Roger Dhillon, Torosian & Walter LLP

“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

"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!" — Denise Pyeatt

"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 QUARTER 2005)

"I wanted to let you know that I passed the REG section of the CPA exam. I previously passed the other 3 parts when I sat for the November 2000 exam and received a 74 on REG. I live in Los Angeles and used your exam CPA Exam Cram Video. I believe this helped tremendously. I watched it while I was studying and the day before the exam. I received an 82 on REG.Thank you." — Diane Arrigoni, Senior Accountant Oakwood Worldwide

"I just wanted to pass the good news along to you. After fumbling around the last few years trying to pass my last 2 parts of the exam, I took your CPA Exam Cram Videos course. I was locked in and even entertained! Well, the good news is, I passed my last 2 parts. I received an 83 on FARE and a 79 on LPR and am now finished! Thanks for the great job on the videos and for all your assistance. You truly made a difference!" — Joe Hamrahi

"Roger, I passed all four parts! I took the online courses, and loved it. They allowed me to study early before work, and your continuous reminders to do the problems paid-off in the best way. I benefited so very much from you're ability to break the test down by subject and explain which sections asked about specific concepts/transactions (e.g. property for tax, law, and financial reporting). Your preparation method worked so well for me because you introduced the concept, then broke it down, and showed how the concept and detail fit into the big picture, AWESOME! Thank you for your commitment to me and your students. It really shows in the work you do. Thank you for your enthusiastic energy."
— Daniel Reuter

"I just want to share my appreciation for your help in my passing two parts of the CPA Exam. Due to many changes at work, I decided to sit for the November CPA exam. I decided late, so I didn't have much time to study. I had less than 5 weeks to study. I found your course on the internet and saw the video course was perfect for me. I have a wife and 3 year old son, so time management for everyone was important. The video course allowed me to watch a video at night after my son went to bed. Sure I stayed up late, but the video material and presentation style kept my attention and focus. I was only trying to pass Audit and Law since I was cramming the 14 week video course into 4 weeks. I watched a video each night and did homework during lunch and after each video. I only watched the video portion for ARE and FARE with only doing about 10% of the homework - I just wanted to make the minimum. I passed Audit with a 78 and passed Law with a 82. I made a 67 in FARE and a 74 in ARE. I should also mention this was my 1st time to take the exam in 7 years. I took it a few times straight out of college with only minimal success. I never put together the right combination to get conditioned. I have been out of college 10 years, so I was hesitant to go back to the study mode and was worried I would struggle. The course material and videos made it possible. Thanks for taking an overwhelming amount of material and making it interesting and retainable. I am actually looking forward to having adequate preparation time for the next exam for the remaining two parts and being able to complete the homework. I truly think I can finish it next time. Thanks again!" — Mark Edwards

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

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

"If you are not awake during your CPA review course, you will not pass. If you want to sleep use Becker, if you want to PASS USE ROGER." I took your Video Cram, and I could regurgitate all of the other testimonials you have received, but the best thing to say is Thanks! My wife thanks you also, you did not drive her out of the room the way Becker's class did, and she has even picked up a few things, while I studied." — Jason Luther

"Dear Roger: I wanted to say thank you for your cram course and making it available on video for people like me that are working full-time during tax season, experiencing job changes and taking care of two children under the age of three. It was well worth every penny spent and my test scores prove it. Your enthusiasm and motivation throughout the entire course of videos was fantastic. It really helped me stay focused on the content. The cram book that came with the videos was concise, easy-to-follow and it seemed that I had to do very minimal note taking as you provided so many of the written tips necessary to be successful. Your acronyms are terrific. I do not usually use acronyms but found yours to be very helpful, especially when it came time to take the actual test. Yes, I did use them. Finally, thank you for always taking phone calls and responding to emails, providing the extra assistance and motivation necessary to get through the test successfully in May 2003. Thank you again." — Karen Hern

-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: 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

“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)

"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

"I took the CPA Exam Cram session for ARE...and I passed! I studied only 12 hours other than the class and did great. The class was fun and well prepared. The materials are great. I recommend the CPA Exam Cram if you need a little boost of confidence or some last minute help."— David Palmer, KPMG

"I just want to say that Roger Phillip 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 CPA Exam Cram course. " — Alex Khodadad

"Hi Roger! I´m sending you this short note to tell you that I passed FARE with 75%, which I worked very hard for. This was only possible with the help of your video cassettes!! They are great!!! Especially for me, being a foreigner, and my mother language being German. I got the last "kick" when I visited your CPA Exam Cram course, which I can only recommend to EVERYONE!! In my opinion there is nothing comparable!! I´m very grateful for the help that you have given me up until now. And I am confident that I will pass the last section of the exam after taking your next CPA Exam Cram course in AUDIT in San Francisco in May. You are so funny and have such a sense of humor, which makes it fun and keeps me interested (I don´t fall asleep) and makes it easy to learn. I will be happy to see you again in May. So, that is my next question. Do you still have a seat for me at your May, AUDIT CPA Exam Cram course? If so, I will sign up today!! Best regards and thank you VERY MUCH again."— Werner Baumgart

"I took Roger's review class and was always amazed at how easy he made the material seem. I studied for two parts and planned on sitting for the other two for the experience only. I also took the CPA Exam Cram course to see if he could bring me up to speed enough on the two parts I had not studied for. I took the exam and, like most others, felt terrible after the experience was over. Imagine my surprise when I received my scores and I passed all four parts! Roger rocks; he is entertaining, engaging and fun! I recommend his class to all of my friends sitting for the exam. Thanks again Roger, I couldn't have done it without you."— Suzanne Healy

"I really enjoyed the CPA Exam Cram in October and November 2001 and I am glad to tell you that I passed all four parts of the CPA exam with an average of 90% on my first try!!! For law I only took your CPA Exam Cram and spend maybe another 6 hours studying the next day - and reached 88%. ARE I tried to study by doing Micromash but soon figured out that I just didn't seem to understand the basics. A day of your CPA Exam Cram and a couple of days of studying at home afterwards and I reached 86%. Thanks for making my CPA preparation fun and effective. I will keep recommending you to all my colleagues. — Ilka Kuckuk, KPMG

"I thought your course was great! You kept me motivated throughout the course and explained the concepts very well. The CPA Exam Cram Course, I believe, was the key for me passing the exam. It went over all the concepts we reviewed during class and was a great refresher right before the test. Thanks again"— Greg Sutton

I wanted to let you know that I passed the ARE section of the CPA exam. I previously passed the other 3 parts when I sat for the November 2000 exam and received a 74 on ARE. I live in Los Angeles and used your CPA Exam Cram video. I believe this helped tremendously. I watched it while I was studying and the day before the exam. I received an 82 on ARE.Thank you." — Diane Arrigoni, Senior Accountant Oakwood Worldwide

" I just wanted to let everyone at Roger Philpp ’s CPA Review course know that I am very pleased with the information and instruction that I received during my ARE CPA Exam Cram course this past May. I was able to pass my last part of the exam with only 16 hours of actual study time in addition to the CPA Exam Cram course. After taking the CPA Exam Cram course I went home and reviewed all questions supplied in the CPA Exam Cram packet and most in the back of each chapter from the self-study review course. I did this review of questions on the Mon. and Tues. immediately following the CPA Exam Cram for approximately 8 hours each day, or for a total of 16 hours. Based on this level of studying, I passed the test with a grade in the 80’s. I don’t think that I could have had as much success with the test had I not have taken the CPA Exam Cram course. Please feel free to use this as a testimonial for your company if it helps. Thank you for all of your help. Best Regards," — Katherine Weimer

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

"I got the cram course of ARE for the November 2002 exam and it worked! I finally passed ARE after three failed attempts. It passed using your course with less than 15 hours study/week. Thanks!!" — Zhiling Zhang

"I just thought that you should know, last MAY I purchased your CRAM course for two parts and, I was also studying via Beckers courses. Needless to say I only had time to review and study with one of your CRAM courses while I studied with Becker for the other part. I only took two parts expecting to pass them both, but I only passed one (which means I didn't get conditional credit). The section I passed was the one I studied for with your CRAM course CD's. This time I am only going to study with your materials." — Rob Post
