I had originally signed-up for Becker back in the day, but for a person who can't sit still for long periods of time there was no way I was getting through all that material. A combination of NINJA audio + NINJA notes + wayyyyy too many MCQs = a NINJA only graduate. I owe you so much Jeff Elliott!

Hi Jeff, Thank your for all your help, for your website, and all the emails. I stayed subscribed until now (I got my last passing score on September 12th) because it still seemed unreal and hearing from you about the exam and other candidates was very comforting. I'll continue to recommend your website to other candidates, especially those who struggled like me…I used the Ninja study notes for Audit and Regulation.

I passed all 4 exams the first go around while working FT in less than 6 months using only ninja. I did 2 hours a day everyday, combo of mcq's, the audio lectures, and sims. I definitely felt overwhelmed as well the first 2 weeks of studying, but materials always clicked sooner or later. Consistency is key in my case.

Passed all of my exams with only NINJA. I feel like the real variable is are you willing to put in the time and effort? People have passed using all of the different courses, it comes down to putting in the time and effort to get it done.

Wanted to thank Jeff Elliott, Mike, and the NINJA CPA Team. Finally received notification from CBA this afternoon that I am a licensed CPA in the state of California. Couldn't have done it without your help. Great program when time is of the essence.

Thank you Jeff Elliott. I could not have finished without NINJA. Sorry I have to cancel my subscription, but what a return on investment. Thanks again.

As of today I have officially passed all 4 parts!!! Really have to give it up to NINJA and Jeff Elliott for this amazing program, once I failed FAR back in August I supplemented my Roger subscription with NINJA and passed REG + BEC first try, and AUD + FAR on my second! Good luck to all those on your journey, freedom awaits you!

Max says, “I've heard that you can request the AICPA to review your CPA Exam test to see if there was some sort of grading error in the system. Is this true? If so, is it true for the California State Board of Accountancy?”
The California State Board determines whether or not you can take the exam and they also determine whether or not you can get your license. The California State Board of Accountancy, or whatever it's called there, the CBA I think, they determine whether or not you're eligible to sit for the exam and also your licensing and certificate after you pass.
