 Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to be discussing a CPA exam strategy that's recommended by many CPA exam coaches, even CPA review courses, and that is answer as many multiple choice questions as possible, and you'll be ready to pass the CPA exam. I'm going to explain to you why this strategy is not a good strategy, and what's the best strategy to pass the CPA exam? Now, this strategy is based on the format, the old format of the exam, and what's the old format of the exam? The old format of the exam is a paper and a pencil, and back then, as soon as they give you the exam over 20 years ago, your fate is sealed. They can no longer change the questions. So if you answered enough, if you answered enough and memorize enough multiple choice questions that appeared on your exam, on that exam day, it's your lucky day, you will answer enough questions to get 75 or more. Even 10 years ago, many CPA questions were based on memory. Simply put, if you answered enough multiple choice questions, memorize the answers, and it was your lucky day and the software through those questions at you, then guess what? You will be good. You'll be able to answer enough questions. Today, the exam is totally different. Today, the exam is adaptive. What does that mean? It means when you are taking the exam, you don't know what type of questions, what questions you're going to be getting. Why? Because the questions are based on your answers. So let me explain to you. You will start the exam and you will get questions about the statement of cash flows, maybe a medium to a hard questions. If you answered that question correctly, good. The software will kind of respond by saying this candidate, there's a good chance this candidate understand the statement of cash flow. They might give you another question, maybe down the road, maybe, you know, question five or question six will be about the statement of cash flows. If you get the question correctly as well, they would say that's enough. This individual understand the statement of cash flows. Let's move on. Then they'll move on to another topic, the third taxes, the third asset, the third tax liability. They'll give you one question, medium to a hard questions. You answer it incorrectly. A raised red flag, this individual does not know this topic, but they're not sure yet. Then they'll give you another question. You'll get it wrong again. You say, okay, well, let's give them a third question. You get it right. Oh, hold on a second. Now we're not sure. They'll give you a fourth, fifth and sixth. Why now they zoomed in on a topic that you are weak with? And let's assume they gave you in total eight questions about that topic and you get two of them wrong, right and six wrong. It means you are not competent in that topic and that topic is major. The third income taxes is made is a major topic. The point that I'm trying to make is this. It's not the amount of the multiple choice questions you answer. It's your knowledge of the topic and that's why many students that failed the exam or at least the students that give me the feedback, they say on the exam day, we notice this proportionate amount of questions about a particular topic. And guess what? We were weak in that topic. It's like, it's no, no coincident. Well, you, you, you noticed a lot of governmental questions or a lot of pension questions and you are weak in them because the software detected that weakness and they wanted to make sure that you are indeed weak because before they give you that 75, less than 75 exam score, they want to make sure that you are weak. They're not going to try to give you less than 75 if they don't make sure about it. How do they make sure about that, about that weakness? They'll give you this proportionate amount of questions, maybe 10, 12 questions and find out of those 10 to 12 questions how many you get wrong. And if you get, you know, small, you know, a small amount of these questions, right, then you are not competent. You might be saying this individual is telling us this because he sells explanation. He sells lectures. Well, no, I also sell multiple choice questions. I have 3000 multiple choice, true, false CPA questions, more than 3000 on my website. If that's what you want to do, but I don't recommend the strategy. Simply put, whether you want to go with, you know, with my explanation, with my website or someone else, make sure you understand the material. And I do pride myself on explaining the material. Of course I do whether you are taken back or Roger Wiley, Glyne. It doesn't matter which course you are taken. I can help you understand the material, but I also have multiple choice questions. If you want to do this, by all means go ahead and sign up and just answer multiple choice, but I don't recommend it. Multiple choice questions, they are designed to help you confirm your knowledge or disconfirm your knowledge. So after you understand the topic, how do you know you understood the topic? You can tell yourself I understand the topic or you can take multiple choice questions, different multiple choice questions. If you're getting those questions correctly, then you confirm to yourself. Now you have confidence that you understand this topic because on the exam day, you may or may not get the same multiple choice questions. That's why you have to understand the topic because they may phrase the questions differently. So that's why I recommend understanding the topic. And obviously I'm going to recommend if you want to really understand the topic. You need a CPA review course obviously, but you might need a supplemental course to help you understand the topic. My lectures help you understand the topic. This is what I do. That's my job. I teach you the material from scratch from zero. So you are ready for your CPA review course and your CPA review course will prepare you for the exam.
