Gratitude and appreciation to Universal CPA Review. I began my CPA testing journey some years ago, and I’ve been between 3 to 8 points from passing either of the sections. I finally figured out... See more

I was able to pass all the exams on the first attempt for a fraction of the cost of other systems. I have been working in accounting for almost 20 years. He really helped fill the gaps in an efficient way. Couldn’t recommend anything more highly for studying for the cpa.
I couldn't recommend Universal CPA more! I was really struggling with REG & FAR and took the jump and signed up for the bootcamps as well as 1-on-1 tutoring. The bootcamps were great at explaining the big topics - Dexter simplified it in a visual way that was easy to understand (where Becker seemed to complicate). Along with the bootcamps, I opted for individual tutoring with Racquel (REG) and Dexter (FAR). They were both extremely helpful, motivating, and knew the material like the back of their hand. This is the only platform I know that offers these types of services, and they are truly great!
I am not subscribed to their review course but I wanted to say a big thank you to them for helping me stay motivated after failing BEC once. Honestly, I would've given up if it weren't for their motivational videos. I got my retake results today and I passed BEC. Please continue what you're doing! You're helping a lot of people like me. I will forever be grateful for you guys! In fact, you guys helped me more than my review course provider. Thanks a bunch! If I had an option to select review providers again, you guys would definitely be on top of the list. Thank youuuu!!
I used the free trial and then the one month access to Universal CPA and really enjoyed getting to watch the videos for REG and AUD. Universal helped organize my understanding of different concepts and condense them to be manageable for remembering.
The lectures are much easier to handle as they are not an hour long like other study programs. The visuals have helped me tremendously in remembering formulas. I love that each multiple choice has a video explanation to help you understand exactly WHY the answer is what it is. Overall, it’s a great program.
One thing I don’t enjoy is that the built in excel does not work exactly as excel and is more of a manual process. I just use a good ole calculator which I would have access to on the exam anyway.
Wonderful explanation videos with illustrative examples....for all mcqs also explanation video available...
I loved Universal CPA review.
As a visual learner I needed short lessons with only necessary important points on each topic. I liked that they have visual explanation for every single mcq and tbs. They might have some phonetically mistakes here and there, they might include some mcq to wrong modules ( sometimes), but they worked for me the best. I passed all four exams with them! Three of them with my first try, last one failed, but passed on the second time. Without any supplements. I’m very thankful to the team and I do recommend them.
Universal Review, I am amazed at how you manage to add and present only the important and relevant material for a topic and explain it within a 10 mins lecture. It's just amazing!
I am in love with the Mental maps, It's organized and structured. Being a visual learner it's so much fun to learn, remember and apply these Mental maps!
Universal Review definitely helped me in passing my last 3 CPA exams (FAR - 87, REG- 78 & BEC - 82). Thank you Joey for always responding to the queries and explaining it in a more understandable way. Universal CPA was the gamechanger in my CPA Journey.
Really helpful program, especially when retesting a failed exam. I felt that all the lectures stressed all the important details .
Universal CPA has been worth every PENNY! Easy to follow and straight to the point.
The notes are short and very easy to understand. The visuals make me retain the information for long time. I would recommend Universal CPA review
Universal CPA is the BEST supplemental study program for the CPA exam. I tried a few other supplemental programs but this one breaks even the toughest subjects down digestible pieces works through some great examples for students to really grasp the content. Joey, Matt, and team are so quick to respond to any questions about the content and are really try to engage with candidates directly. I used Universal CPA concurrently with another CPA content provider and found that this program usually did a better job at taking me step by step through the longer topics AND emphasizing the most important areas that are usually tested. The program is great for both the conceptual and mathematical questions. I rave about it to all my friends considering a CPA.

Well explain theory and answers for questions or simulations the same with details that everybody can understood.
I found Universal CPA after I was already on my CPA journey. I am so thankful that I did, as they helped me get through the first half of this journey. I find the video lectures, along with the video explanation of each question, extremely helpful. How each topic is broken down into easy-to-digest and visual sections has been very valuable to me. In addition to study materials, their live boot camps delve further into various topics to help further one's understanding. I have been very pleased with my interactions with the staff and with the materials and aids available.
I would recommend Universal because they offer video explanations for each question, which I find helpful. Their main videos are also easy to follow.
Explanation of each MCQ s ,bite sized videos and mental maps .
The video explanations for each MCQ and Sim are the best part of Universal, CPA. I watched them even on the correct answers because it helps the topic stick. The videos shows you a step by step approach and helps create a mental map. I highly recommend it!!
