CPA Exam Review News Blog

Say goodbye to the Tax Season and hello to studying for the CPA Exam!

Congratulations on making it out of busy season. Take a bit of time to celebrate and savor the feeling of all you learned and accomplished in the past few months! That hectic pace of life is past, and it may be a very good idea for you to take a bit of a breather from studying. 

Don’t let the celebration drag on too long; you are already used to being highly productive and maintaining a rigid schedule, so don’t lose too much of that highly productive no-time-to-waste attitude. Pick a date on the calendar to start back to studying and stick to it.
