Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a bit about my journey to passing all four CPA exams on the first try. Yep, you read that right—the first try! It was a challenging road, but I'm thrilled to have made it through successfully.

My Study Routine
Balancing full-time work at Bookkeeping For Painters and family life (with three kids and a fourth on the way!) meant I had to be strategic about my study time. I dedicated each morning and evening to studying for nine months straight. It was tough, but it paid off in the end.

Examprep.ai: My Secret Weapon
Examprep.ai was an absolute game-changer for me. The feedback and ratings the software provided were incredibly helpful. It showed me exactly where I needed to focus my time, which made my study sessions so much more efficient. If you're gearing up for the CPA exams, I can't recommend Examprep.ai enough. It's a lifesaver.

CPA Exam vs. EA Exam
Having taken the Enrolled Agent (EA) exam before, I can tell you that the CPA exam is a whole different beast. While the EA exam dives deep into tax topics, the CPA exam covers a wide range of subjects, making it challenging to feel fully prepared. You need to know a little bit about a lot of things, which can be daunting.

Tips for Future CPAs
To anyone out there juggling work, family, and studying, I feel you. It's not easy, but it's doable. Stay focused, use the right tools, and keep pushing forward. Whether it's Examprep.ai or another resource, finding something that helps you target your weak areas can make a big difference.
Good luck to all the future CPAs out there!
