Passing the CPA exam can change your life. It changed mine. This short guide provides you with the strategies and tactics, tips and techniques that I used myself to pass the CPA exam on the first try.

This guide is not a substitute for a CPA review course or a short-cut to success. A comprehensive review course will give you the meat and potatoes of the CPA exam - this guide is designed as an appetizer, something to whet your CPA whistle. This short book goes where the prep courses do not, and will arm you with the basic building blocks you will need to mentally prepare for the rigors of exam preparation.

I hope you find the ideas useful as you prepare to sit for, and pass the exam.
