The
NINJA reviews are in. CPA candidates say the
NINJA strategy is fresh, effective and especially appealing to students who thrive on a non-traditional approach to learning. The number of
NINJA users has reached 41,000 and growing for a reason. Students are revealing how they use
NINJA to add 12 or 17 or even 22 points to their CPA Exam scores.
They are using
NINJA to help squeeze in extra
study time, to make understanding easier and to keep remembering longer. CPA candidates rely on
NINJA to learn the tricks that score the extra four or five questions needed to pass the CPA Exam once and for all. Reviewers say
NINJA offers a greatly improved version of the tools you find at other
CPA review courses. They say
NINJA has come up with innovations they can’t find anywhere else.
NINJA creator Jeff Elliott emphasizes that the single most important part of CPA Exam studying is preparing for the Multiple Choice Questions.
NINJA reviews say his MCQ test bank outstrips all competitors. These MCQs excel because
NINJA puts concepts into the context that students need for the CPA Exam. And
NINJA provides a much larger number of MCQs for practice than any other review course. That’s why Jeff knows many CPA candidates who have passed the exam by working only his MCQs.
NINJA MCQ Audio
Now
NINJA is the first review course to offer an MCQ
Audio. Each full-length practice exam is weighted according to the AICPA CSO to build a stronger MCQ foundation.
NINJA MCQ Audio, which is introduced as part of the
Ten Point Combo, offers students the right balance between enjoyable listening and effective repetition.
NINJA reviews say the MCQ
Audio gives them more
study time in a day when every hour is packed full with working and commuting. On these audios, students hear lively everyday language that’s easy to understand. Users enjoy listening to a real human being who makes them forget other robotic lecturers.
Some REG students react to the innovative MCQ
Audio: “I think this is a great idea. I’m a non-traditional student and I need all the help I can get,“ says Samantha B. Another
NINJA notes the fresh approach. “It made me think about topics in a different way,“ according to Tiffany P.
FAR student Jean H. says, “Great job as it is very easy to understand in layman’s terms.“ On the MCQ
Audio BEC, Jennifer S. relays, “Your explanations are so memorable because of the vocal intonations and regular language.”
“I’ve been searching for something like this because I usually have a long commute and I was trying to figure out a way to study while driving,” says Natalie B. about the MCQ
Audio AUD. Another AUD student, Troy M., says, “I am an auditory learner and found these to be exactly what I need.”
NINJA MCQs
Many
NINJA reviews talk about the improvement in scores after students try the
NINJA MCQ software. Why are CPA candidates seeing such a difference? Robert M. credits the selection of questions. “For BEC, the
NINJA MCQ is a must…you put together a great test bank,” he says. Others find the cost of the MCQs a good deal. “… the fact that SIMS are included with the test bank for a measly $47 is an astounding value!” says DM.
“I used
NINJA MCQs for REG and got my highest score (94) ever,” says Lindsey R. Her thought is echoed by A. Jones, who says, “I used nothing but
NINJA MCQ and
audio for FAR and passed with an 81.”
“The Audit MCQ helped boost my score 12 points (!!!) from a 73 to an 85,” adds Walker.
NINJA Notes
Among Jeff’s most successful strategies is telling students to put down the highlighter and re-write course review notes in their own words.
NINJA reviews say that recommendation proves even more successful when students begin with his
NINJA Notes.
“I followed your instructions of reading them over and over again and leaving myself a week to rewrite them. I’m deploying this same method as I study for FAR,” says Kris K. in crediting
NINJA Notes as a big factor in raising her Audit score to an 87. LittleMoe says he bought
NINJA’s
FAR notes because the notes greatly helped him with AUD.
With a boost from a score of 70 to 82 on BEC, Kandis Joy says she finds Jeff’s notes “extremely helpful in summarizing and outlining almost everything included in my other study materials. The notes are very organized. ” Another BEC student, Melissa S., says the notes “helped to review right before the test. I saw several questions that the notes helped me on.”
After using
NINJA notes to earn an 88 on BEC and a 78 on AUD, Andrew V. studied with them even more before revisiting REG. The next time around he took home a REG 82.
Brett finds the
FAR notes “definitely helped keep the information fresh, especially for IFRS,” while Virginia says the
FAR notes “gave me the extra bit of information I needed to pass.”
After buying the FAR
NINJA Notes on a whim, DeepBreath was “super relieved to learn that Jeff suggests a different approach to studying for the exams” and delighted to have found them at the beginning of studying instead of the end.
NINJA Audio
“I listen to it on my way to and from work,” says Mike B. of the
REG Audio. “I think it really helps fortify the regular material. I especially value the little tricks you have to remember certain parts.”
Yolyc88 also listened to
Ninja Audio for Audit during the work commute. “Towards the end, I almost had them memorized,” says Yolyc88. He credits
Audio AUD for a high score of 96 on the last test. Another commuter, beechcrest, took
NINJA Audio along the ride to work and listened “until I could speak along WITH Jeff.”
“It is a very easy way to get 2.5 hours of info in a day. They are also great when cooking dinner or cleaning around the house,” says alh87 of
AUD Audio.
UCFCPA points to one difference between his latest BEC score result and those on three previous tries. This student added
NINJA Audio and brought his BEC score up to 82. “It really helped me to remember the concepts in each section, and I was able to remember specific topics on the exam I would have forgotten otherwise.”
“I have found the
NINJA audio to be a huge help in squeezing in extra
study time. I was at my son’s baseball practice last night and I listened to the
audio for almost an hour that would have normally been “down” time,” says tgkevine of
BEC Audio.
The tips and examples in
FAR Audio are “direct and easy to understand,” says Mom2two. “It makes me think ok I know this, I can pass this thing!” Givemesleep took advantage of
FAR Audio every minute in the car. “It’s cheap, effective and worth every penny if used correctly, says Givemesleep, who adds the tool easily helped score 10 extra points.
NINJA Books
“Straight to the point, and made to be absorbed quickly and stay in there,” says Ari K, who studies the AUD Book. In his
NINJA reviews, Danny H. said FAR Book made studying very easy. The early release of this year’s FAR Book was welcomed by Whitnie H., who relays, “It’s easier for me to read compared to my [other course] book.” “I really dig the format with practice questions built right into the info,” says Chad M. about FAR Book.
Jeannette S. finds “the comprehensiveness of the (BEC) book is superior to the other material I’m using.” “It’s easy to understand, with more detail than the
NINJA Notes,” says Nicole of the BEC Book. She values the application that sums everything up after each small section.
NINJA Blitz
NINJA Blitz REG breaks the material down into smaller bites that are easier for students to digest, says Lynette. MM says Jeff succeeds where many accounting instructors fail: making the material understandable. Carla on Facebook appreciates the
NINJA Blitz FAR method of remembering GSP-CD funds.
NINJA Blitz FAR “helps on digging in material that we miss on the other reviews,” says Jose D.
“The
Blitz videos more clearly articulated the really important information than the (expensive course) videos I primarily used for AUD, BEC and REG,” says Nick B. “And they clarify the important things from my MAcc program to solidify those nuggets of gold I needed on test day.”
David J. says, “The (BEC) videos are short and sweet and to the point. It makes it easier to blast few a few whenever I have a few minutes.”
NINJA Blitz AUD is particularly important to Linda M. in helping summarize all the information and remember what is important. Jenna mentions her relief at listening to Jeff in the AUD videos “for a change this weekend instead of (expensive review course) ‘old geezers’. It gave me a little boost of hope and perhaps even a bit of sanity,” Jenna says in her
NINJA reviews.
Ten Point Combo Complete
Kara P. tested a set of
NINJA MCQ REG and a simulation on her iPad mini and says she is pleased with how they worked. She appreciates the links in the answers to terms within the explanation. Kara P. also says she finds the dashboard display of her study history an effective instant accountability check.
CPA Candidate SJ used
NINJA Notes and Flashcards to
supplement Becker MCQ when he made his third attempt at the AUD section. “And BAM! My score jumped 14 points to a passing score of 79 with just one month of studying,” says SJ. He singles out the
AUD notes and flashcards for praise.
Students who use the
Ten Point Combo AUD frequently talk about their score increases for this difficult section. Adding
Ten Point Combo and
NINJA methods to
Becker boosted his AUD score from 58 to 87 in one testing window, says GriffinCPA. Andin his
NINJA reviews, beechcrest says the
Ten Point Combo Complete helped him pass Auditing on the first try. Legit44 was up against his last section, Audit. He had failed twice with a 69 and a 71. “So I ordered the “
Ten Point Combo”…and got a 22 point increase,” he says.
“If I don’t listen to the
Audio notes, my day feels so incomplete! LOL!” says rbcpa. This CPA candidate raised his BEC score 17 points from a 60 to 77 by using the
NINJA Flashcards, Notes and
Audio. He listened to the
NINJA Audio notes in the car, gym and at work when there was down time.
CPA candidate ajurew1 used the
Ten Point Combo when studying for another shot at REG and increased the REG score from 66 to 82. “Didn’t even use any other study materials when studying for the retake,” says ajurew1. Another candidate, CPAski, says, “The
NINJA Notes saved me on four questions!” That candidate saw the REG score climb 15 points from 67 to 82.
“I listened to the
audio every second I got – in the car, in line to pick up lunch, everywhere. Save the
audio tracks to your phone so you have it with you at all times,” recommends Mickey G. His hard work and the
Ten Point Combo took his FAR score up 15 points and gave him the highest score for any of his sections in AUD.
