In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Jordan was able to not only pass the CPA exam, but also pass the CFP exam by using the SuperfastCPA strategies. He never thought he would be able to pass each CPA exam first try, but by applying the right strategies, he did!It all changed one night when he was up in the middle of the night taking care of his baby. He had YouTube running on his phone, but he happened to be across the room to grab something. A SuperfastCPA ad popped up, but he couldn't skip it like he had done before. He listened through it, it made sense, and the story goes from there. He got SuperfastCPA, changed his study process, and passed the exams.FULL EPISODE PAGE: https://www.superfastcpa.com/how-jordan-finished-the-cpa-and-cfp-exams-with-superfastcpa/Episode Timestamps00:00 Jordan Interview03:16 Started with Physical Therapy, Fell Into Accounting04:59 The Pivot to Accounting06:07 A Year Long Program Turned Into Three Years07:36 Felt That the Traditional Method Was Ineffective08:37 God's Intervention for Finding SuperfastCPA09:29 Listening to the Podcast Convinced Him to Get SuperfastCPA11:29 Finding Another Review Courses13:33 7-Day Trial of Universal14:10 Switched Studying in the Mornings Was a Big Game Changer15:05 Jordan's Daily Morning Study Routine15:50 Learning with Universal CPA17:10 Doing Mini Sessions All the Time17:48 Constantly Immersed in CPA Studying19:03 Using the SuperfastCPA Review Notes for Final Review19:37 The Motivation for Waking Up Early21:11 Hearing People's Stories On the Podcast21:57 The Initial Goal Was to Finish in Three Years23:32 Jordan Had Fridays Off24:39 Passed All Four Exams on First Try; Chaotic First Exam27:01 Took Two Family Trips and Never Took a Day off Studying28:59 Finding Out That He Passed FAR31:14 Passing FAR Gave Jordan Confidence31:57 Jordan's CPA Study Timeline32:30 BEC Test Experience33:12 Thought He Crushed The AUD Exam But Barely Passed34:17 Doubling Down for the Final Exam37:22 Choose the REG as His Last Section Where He Felt Most Confident38:45 Held Off His Celebration Until He Finished the CFP40:10 Why the SuperfastCPA Method Worked for the CFP41:23 Final Review42:09 The CFP Exam43:03 The CFP was kind of like REG and BEC Combined43:59 Top Benefits Jordan Got from SuperfastCPA45:05 Studied Sims By Watching Walkthrough Videos45:38 Only Studied Sims During Final Review46:47 Making Sure That He Really Understood a Topic49:35 How Jordan Did His Cram Sessions53:18 Top Tips for People Still Struggling with the CPA ExamsLearn the SuperfastCPA Study Approach, FreeYou'll hear me mention the SuperfastCPA study process multiple times in this episode.What we teach our customers is how to have a 2-hour main session each day where you can get more done than someone studying 4-5 hours the "normal way".We cover this in our free "study trainings", which are 1-hour webinars where you'll learn exactly what to do when you sit down to study so that you can 1) move through new material faster, 2) understand and retain it better, and 3) spend less time in front of your review course WHILE getting better results.Register for a free session here: https://www.superfastcpa.com/passnowOR, just text PASSNOW to 44222 and we'll text you back a link to the training.This is one hour that will literally save you months of time and frustration from trying to figure this stuff out on your own, so register for a session today!Register for a free session here: https://www.superfastcpa.com/passnow
