The best mobile tools for CPA candidates so you can fit in more study time as you go about your normal day. These are the only CPA study supplements designed specifically for studying on-the-go, in small chunks throughout your day. Read review notes, listen to audio notes, take quizzes, or have the review notes "read themselves" to you with the follow-along notes. Since you're already putting in time, effort, and money to take your CPA exams, you might as well do anything you can to give yourself an edge and increase your odds of passing on exam day. So for a few months, instead of staring at social media or other time-wasters on your phone throughout the day, use that time to build your understanding & retention of CPA exam topics by reading review notes and taking small quizzes. Boost your understanding & retention even more by listening to the audio notes when you're driving, while working out, preparing meals, or whenever you'd normally listen to music or podcasts. The ongoing, repeat exposure that the study tools provide helps you cement your understanding, comprehension, and retention of the topics so that you're confident and prepared on test day. The SuperfastCPA study tools are easy to understand, and focus on the most-tested parts of each topic. The quiz questions use simplified numbers so that you can still practice concepts and calculations in your head, even while you're in line at the grocery store, instead of constantly getting stuck on complicated questions that would require a calculator and scratch paper. The review notes and audios are also organized in the same order as the AICPA exam blueprints.
