Universal CPA review removes all the fluff, elucidates complex topics with impressive visualizations, and gives you all the elements you need to pass the first time.
Other review courses can bog you down with too much information and overcomplicate topics. If you ever get lost in the sauce, Universal will help you find your way out.

I believe UniversalCPA is an invaluable tool to have throughout the CPA journey. I enjoyed the high-level graphical displays of concepts as well as the insightful instruction during the FAR boot camp.

Universal CPA helped me get over the hump after many attempts at passing the CPA Exam. Admittedly, I thought at times that its approach was "too simple." However, in hindsight, it really helped me understand broader concepts in a simple way. The short videos explaining topics were instrumental in helping me understand what I needed to understand. There isn't "too much information" in its course.

Passed REG and FAR exam using this Course.
Best for revision and best to practice concepts using MCQs and simulations.

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 that I’m a visual learner so I actually Googled “visual CPA learning.” To my surprise, I landed on Universal CPA Review. I quickly invested in the materials and recently, I’ve started taking the LIVE classes.
The presentations of the materials, and videos are so vividly presented. In addition, the conversations in the LIVE classes are continuous until I have the understanding, so in short, they have really helped me make the connections and see the bigger picture on various topics. All to this, I’m grateful. I believe now, I’ll have a success story to tell.
All the Best! 🙂

I used Universal CPA Exam as my primary study program and just passed all 4 sections on my first try each time, only using a supplement for FAR and ISC (probably didn't need it for ISC). The value for this program is incredible! I paid a fraction of the price of what the other programs cost and felt very well prepared for each section. The lectures are concise but hit the target every time! I've seen what other CPA candidates used and it's sooo bloated. When I passed I had other CPAs ask whether I would be burning the textbooks. I had nothing to burn, and none of this program looks like a textbook anyways! The study materials here were always excellent at giving me the foundational understanding of each topic and then we built up from there to nail the topic.
My one disclaimer would be to use a supplement for FAR so that you can get more repetition, such as a monthly subscription for 1-2 months on another program. I spent like $70 on another program to get more questions because the FAR exam is so incredibly broad and while Universal CPA Review helped me understand the topics, you need more repetition to get that section down.

I love Universal CPA platform. During the May boot camp, I identified and was able to correct the small mistakes I make when answering questions. Grateful for the replays. I would have like to have the inclass questions to continue working on afterwards, if necessary. Eitherway, it was money well spent. I’m doing the same for audit when the time comes.

I previously purchased one of the more widely known CPA study materials and quickly got bogged down with it. I then made the decision to purchase Universal as a supplement to help me understand certain topics. I quickly revised my study strategy and relied heavily on Universal for FAR and REG and it was my only study material for BEC (RIP) and AUD. I passed all but REG on my first attempt thanks to Universal. I also participated in some of the bootcamp classes which were very helpful for drilling in on must-know topics. I would recommend Universal CPA Review to anyone who is getting started on their journey or anyone who might feel stuck in their current study regimen.

The Universal boot camps just helped me pass my FAR retake after a month of studying. The bootcamps are great for anybody who is on their CPA journey that needs an extra push to get that passing score. Can’t say enough good things about Dexter, the tutor that teaches the bootcamps. He’s very thorough with his explanations and patient with students’ questions. I’ll definitely be joining their REG bootcamps!

The material is lined out for visual learners as well as the content explained in detail. Universal CPA is an excellent resource for college classes and preparing for the CPA exam. The Universal Team reaches out via email, text, and phone to ensure that I'm happy with their product while promoting boot camps. Excellent customer service. Keep up the great work!

Universal CPA Review Course is good because the price is reasonable and the teachers are there to encourage and make the materials easy to understand.

The videos are filled with great explanations that simplify the subject matter. In addition to the lecture videos the videos that walk you through the questions/answers are extremely helpful as well.

I’ve used Universal CPA to pass three out of the four exams, and I’m currently getting ready to take my last one. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been able to understand or simplify the material the way I did without this software. Universal CPA breaks things down in a way that just clicks. What really sets them apart are the workshops they’re unlike anything else out there. You won’t find this level of support anywhere else. I’ve tried other tutoring services before that charge a ton and barely engage (some don’t even turn on their camera), but Universal CPA is the total opposite. They show up live, walk you through real world examples, and actually care about helping you succeed. The videos that go along with the MCQs and SIMs are super easy to follow, and they explain things in a way that finally makes hard topics make sense. Everyone I know who uses Universal ends up coming back to it when they hit a concept they just can’t grasp anywhere else.Honestly, Universal has been a gamechanger for me throughout my CPA journey. If you want straightforward, realworld explanations and tools that make the material stick, this is the program to go with. And if you’re serious about passing, sign up for the workshops they’re worth every penny. You WILL pass with this support behind

I’m thrilled to have passed all four sections of the CPA exam! I used Becker CPA for my initial studies, but after a few challenges, I incorporated Universal CPA Review into my prep, and it made a huge difference. For my final exam, FAR, I improved my score from a 64 to a 77 in just ONE week by studying an additional 40 hours with Universal CPA. Their content is clear, concise, and incredibly effective. Huge thanks to the Universal CPA team for providing such a great resource!

Universal CPA is the ONLY review material I use (after trying Becker and one other) and I have now passed my 2nd exam!

Reply from Universal CPA Review
I supplemented Becker with Universal CPA to understand concepts of FAR. I watched all the videos, practiced MCQ’s and Sims from Universal CPA. Then, I practiced all questions of Becker. Joey did a great job in explaining each and every topic in detail and most importantly in an easy language. Thank you so much Joey because of your lectures, I was able to pass the exam. :-)

If you need a ground up approach or youre a visual learner, this is the program for you! I failed FAR 3x until I signed up for UniversalCPA and this was the one program that helped me tie everything together and get over the hump. (I tried several others!) Do not waste your time on other programs with fluff that will leave you confused. I followed the videos, wrote down the mental maps. I promise it works. My only regret is that I did not sign up sooner but a win is a win!

Reply from Universal CPA Review
Universal CPA is great. I did trials on all the major programs and this one had the most engaging material (especially notes and videos). I passed all my exams on the first try. Thanks Joey and team!

Excellent CPA review materials! They provide a well-structured and comprehensive approach that helps me focus on key topics with the biggest impact on passing. The instructors explain concepts clearly, making even complex topics easier to understand. Their teaching methods, combined with practical examples and in-depth discussions, enhance my learning experience. The practice questions and study guides are also incredibly useful in reinforcing my knowledge and building confidence for the exam. I highly recommend these materials to anyone preparing for the CPA exam!

Using Universal CPA allowed me to pass my exams faster because I could understand the material better. The videos are much more informative and easier to understand, and I truly believe it was why I could finally pass REG!
