Thank you for this review! We are excited to be apart of your CPA Exam Journey!
It’s been a rough few months facing the biggest ordeal of my life. At times, I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I believe everything happens for a reason. I persevered and faced my challenges head-on, even when my inner saboteur kept telling me to give up and run away. Today, I celebrate passing the FAR section of the Uniform CPA Exam. If you’re struggling through something similar—keep going. You’re stronger than you realize. You're not alone. Thank you, Joey, Dexter, and Corinne!!!!!
This is such an inspiring share—thank you for being so open about your journey. The perseverance it takes to keep moving forward, even when the light feels out of reach, is what makes this milestone so powerful. Passing FAR is no small feat, but what stands out even more is the resilience and courage you showed along the way. Congratulations on this achievement—you’ve proven to yourself (and to all of us) that you’re stronger than doubt, stronger than setbacks, and capable of pushing through the hardest challenges. Your words will encourage so many others to keep going when it feels impossible. So proud of you. The best is yet to come. 🌟
Universal CPA is an amazing CPA preparation course. They make topics that are difficult, easy to understand. Along with the course, the boot camps are amazing. They are topic driven intense reviews given by an outstanding instructor. (Dexter). If you are struggling with your current review course or need something to push you over the top, Universal is my recommendation.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear that the course and Bootcamps have made such a difference for you. Dexter is an incredible instructor, and it means a lot to see his effort recognized. We’re proud to support you on your CPA journey and can’t wait to celebrate more wins with you!
So far, I really like the content, videos, questions, and explanations. It’s way better than GLEIM’s confusing book, which overcomplicates everything for no reason. The material here is easy to digest, and you actually understand the logic behind how everything is taught. That said, the interface feels a little clunky, especially after finishing a set of multiple-choice questions. Instead of being able to continue directly, you have to click back to the dashboard, then go into Chapter 1, Module 1 again. It would be much smoother if there were an option to simply “keep going” from the same question set. Finally, an iPhone app would be a great addition, so the multiple-choice questions are always accessible on the go.
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear that you’re finding the content, videos, and explanations clear and easy to follow—that’s exactly what we aim for. We also appreciate you pointing out areas for improvement with the interface and accessibility. Our development team is actively working on updates to streamline navigation after practice sets and make the platform more seamless overall. An iPhone app is also on our roadmap, and we’re committed to releasing it once we’re confident it meets the same standard of quality as our course content. Your feedback helps us prioritize what matters most, so thank you again for taking the time to share.
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.
Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that our visual approach is helping cut through the fluff and make complex topics easier to understand. Our goal has always been to simplify the CPA journey and keep students focused on what really matters for exam day. We’re so glad Universal CPA Review has been that guide for you!
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re glad to hear that the visual approach and FAR Bootcamp instruction made such a difference for you. Supporting CPA candidates throughout their journey is exactly why we created UniversalCPA, and feedback like this reminds us we’re on the right track. Wishing you continued success as you move forward in your exams!
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this—it seriously means a lot. We totally get where you're coming from. Sometimes a “simple” approach can feel too good to be true when you're deep in the weeds of CPA prep. But we’re so glad it helped things finally click for you. That’s exactly what we’re aiming for—clarity without the overload. Huge congrats on passing—what a journey! We’re really proud to have been part of it.
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! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your journey — this means a lot! 🙏 We’re incredibly happy you found us through your search for visual CPA learning. It’s exactly why we built Universal CPA Review — to support visual learners who need more than just dense textbooks and slides. We’re thrilled the LIVE classes helped bring clarity and confidence to your study process. You’ve already come so far, and we have no doubt your success story is just around the corner. We’ll be here cheering you on every step of the way! 💪📚 All the best — and keep us posted when that victory email comes in!
Passed REG and FAR exam using this Course. Best for revision and best to practice concepts using MCQs and simulations.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and huge congratulations on passing REG and FAR! 🙌 We’re so glad Universal CPA Review helped you with both revision and concept practice — especially with those MCQs and simulations. Keep up the amazing work as you finish your CPA journey! 💪
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.
Huge congratulations on passing all 4 sections on your first try — that’s incredible! 🎉 We’re so glad Universal CPA Review gave you the clarity, structure, and confidence you needed without the bloated textbooks or sky-high pricing. We designed this program to be lean, visual, and effective — and it’s amazing to hear that it delivered for you. Appreciate the honest note about FAR — you’re absolutely right, it’s the most content-heavy section. We’re actively working on expanding our question bank and repetition tools for FAR to give students even more targeted practice. Thanks again for the thoughtful review, and welcome to the CPA club! 🙌
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.
Thank you for the great feedback—and for joining the May Bootcamp! Glad to hear the sessions (and replays) helped you spot and fix those small mistakes that make a big difference on exam day. 🙌 Appreciate the note about wanting the in-class questions afterward. We’re working on making those practice sets easier to access post-session. In the meantime, if you’d like a copy, just reach out and we’ll get you what we can. We’ll be ready for you when it’s time to tackle AUD—looking forward to having you back! 💪📚
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.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Universal CPA Review was able to help you refocus and pass the CPA exams — especially FAR, BEC, and AUD. It’s great to know that our bootcamps were helpful in drilling down on those must‑know topics. We really appreciate your recommendation and are proud to be part of your CPA journey. If you ever need any help as you work toward REG or any future certifications, we’re always here to support you!
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!
Huge congrats on passing your FAR retake — that’s amazing! 🎉 We’re so glad the bootcamps gave you that extra push and that Dexter made a difference in your experience. He really is the best at breaking things down and making tough topics feel doable. Excited to have you join us for REG — let’s keep the momentum going! 💪
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!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! 🙌 We're thrilled to hear that the visual approach and detailed explanations are helping you both in class and on your CPA journey. Our team truly cares about your success, and it's great to know the outreach and bootcamp support have been helpful. You've got this — and we’re here every step of the way! 💥
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.
Thank you so much! We work hard to keep the course affordable while making sure the content is easy to understand and encouraging every step of the way. So glad you’re finding value in the experience — we’re cheering you on all the way to CPA success! 🙌📚
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.
Thank you so much! We’re so glad to hear that the videos are helping simplify the material and that the question walkthroughs are making a difference. Our goal is to make the CPA Exam feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more doable—so it’s awesome to hear it’s working for you. Keep up the great work!
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
Thanks so much for sharing this incredible review! 🙌 We’re so pumped to hear that Universal CPA has helped you pass three sections—and you’re now heading into the final one! The fact that our videos, workshops, and live support helped things click for you is exactly why we do what we do. You're right—there’s nothing quite like our live workshops. We show up because we care, and it’s awesome to know that it’s making a real difference for you. We’re cheering you on as you take on your final section—you’ve got this 💪 Let’s finish strong!
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!
Huge congrats on passing all four sections—that’s an amazing accomplishment! 🙌 We’re honored to have been part of your journey, especially helping you boost your FAR score 13 points in just one week—that’s incredible. It means a lot to hear that Universal CPA helped simplify the material and made your study time more effective. Thanks for the kind words, and we’re so proud to have been in your corner. Time to celebrate—you earned it! 🎉
Universal CPA is the ONLY review material I use (after trying Becker and one other) and I have now passed my 2nd exam!
Congrats on knocking out your second exam! 🎉 We’re so glad Universal CPA has been the one that’s stuck after trying others—that means a lot. Thanks for trusting us to be your go-to study tool. Keep the momentum going—you’re halfway there! 💪
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. :-)
Huge congrats on passing FAR—it’s one of the toughest, and you crushed it! 🙌 Love hearing that the Universal videos helped make the concepts click and that Joey’s explanations made things easier to understand. Thanks for the shoutout and for letting us be part of your journey. Keep going strong—you’ve got this! 💥
