If you have earned your degree and are now on your way towards an entry-level public accounting job, Varsity Tutors is here to offer Portland CPA Exam preparation options that can help you as you tackle one of the final hurdles into the industry. The Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, commonly referred to as the CPA Exam, is a requirement for any individual who is looking to practice public accountancy in any of the 55 legal jurisdictions of the United States. Whether you attended college somewhere locally, like the University of Portland, or elsewhere in the country, your road to becoming a CPA is not complete until you have taken and passed the entire CPA Exam.
What types of subject and skills can Portland CPA Exam prep cover?
Professional review can help teach you what to expect from the exam in terms of the format while also covering all of the relevant material that you might see on the exam. In order to complete the exam successfully, you must pass all four sections with a score of 75 percent or higher within a testing window of 18 months. The four sections are Auditing & Attestation, Business Environment & Concepts, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Regulation. Each is administered over the course of four hours and is largely made up of multiple choice questions. The sections all have a small number of task-based simulations as well, and the Business Environment & Concepts section also contains three written communication questions.
Regardless of which prep approach best suits you, your experienced instructor can walk you through each of these sections to go over all the material that you will need to know, including topics like corporate governance, operations management, business law, and federal taxation. You can also receive general test-taking tips that can be useful to employ when you encounter a tricky or difficult question that you aren't fully confident about.
What are the different styles of Portland CPA Exam prep, and what are the distinct benefits to each style?
The two major types of prep services that Varsity Tutors can set you up with are online courses and private instruction. They each provide distinct benefits to their participants. Some even choose to combine them and get the best of both worlds. You have the ability to decide which is right for you.
If you enjoy working with others and desire an environment similar to those you have worked in for most of your academic life, consider signing up for a Portland CPA Exam prep course. The biggest difference from your typical classroom setting is that sessions will take place online, allowing you to attend your course from anywhere that you can find a reliable internet connection. Your instructor can lead you and your classmates through group activities and discussions that provide various perspectives and allow everyone involved to share preparation tips and strategies. You can also request some one-on-one time with your instructor if you need additional guidance.
For individuals who prefer that type of focused and personal learning, there is the option of working with a Portland CPA Exam tutor. Sessions can be conducted entirely over our Live Learning Platform if you so choose. This includes access to video chat and a virtual whiteboard. You can work with your private instructor to schedule sessions that are convenient for you. Private instruction allows you to take part in a more personalized experience that is focused on your specific educational needs.
Whether you want to take part in a Portland CPA Exam prep class or connect with private tutoring services, instruction is never far off.
How do I begin the process of signing up for Portland CPA Exam prep?
Each industry has its own benchmarks for those attempting to enter it in a professional capacity. For those looking to become CPAs, one of those benchmarks is achieving a passing grade on the CPA Exam. When you are taking part in the preparation process for something this significant, don't cut corners. You should seek out and find as much help as you can. If either of the Portland CPA Exam prep options that Varsity Tutors can set you up with seem like they could assist you in increasing your confidence as you reach for your exam goals, please contact our educational consultants to get started. They are standing by to answer any questions you have and get you signed up for the option that will work best for you. Reach out today to get started.
