From 8hrs a Day to 2hrs a Day: How Matt Passed the CPA Exams
In this SuperfastCPA podcast interview, you'll hear how Matt started his CPA journey by studying 7-8 hours a day after work, his entire life was working and studying, and he still wasn't passing exams.
Then he made a few changes to his study process, and started studying 2 hours a day in the morning using these new strategies, started passing exams, and still had his evenings free.
