I struggled with the exam for a while. Part of the reason was because I couldn't find the focus I needed to study and the other part was because the test prep material I was using was so overwhelming, I never really developed a good study plan. After a two year break from studying, I started back again. I passed one exam with the same study material as before, but I knew I was not going to be able to afford the material for
the rest of the sections. After asking a few colleagues about Gleim, I decided to give it a shot. All I can say is that I wish I had used it from the beginning! The guidelines on how to study each unit provided the exact guidance I needed to focus. If someone were to ask me how to go about studying, I would definitely point them to those guidelines. One of my biggest problems was time management while I was taking the actual exam. I ran out of time almost every time (I had a lot of failed attempts before using Gleim). The time management suggestions Gleim offered helped tremendously!! As soon as I sat down to take each section, I wrote down the recommended time for each testlet. I would say that played a significant role in my success on the parts I studied under Gleim.

Gleim CPA Review materials helped me because of the number of Questions about one topic and the type of Questions, direct and indirect questions. Those two ways helped me to transfer the information to be skills, I think skills every candidate needs to pass the CPA exam. And thank you Gleim team for your E-mail regarding advice or a new issue about CPA Exam [CPA Hot Topics].

Thank you for the effective role you played in preparing to take the CPA exam. I was very nervous, but your program enabled me to pass each section the first time. Your customer service was always there to help when I needed it. I am grateful for the way Gleim regularly updates its materials. Your materials helped me get an 83 in FAR, 84 in REG and BEC, and an 88 in AUD. The best part of it is that your program was very cost-effective, an important consideration for a young college student. Keep up the good work!

I just received my score on the Regulation part of the CPA Exam with a score of 82. The study materials in the Gleim Review System fully prepared me for the exam. I have now passed the full CPA exam (all on the first attempt) with Gleim and am fully confident in the Gleim Accounting product. I cannot thank Gleim enough for their training, materials, and support to help me achieve such a tremendous goal. Passing the CPA has been a dream come true! Thank you so much! I will also be using Gleim in the future
for continuing education.

I have officially passed all sections of the CPA exam on my first try using Gleim! I got a 93 on Audit which was my last exam! I would certainly use this study system again if I had to do the exam over! Thanks Gleim for all of your help and support!

I began taking the exam about two years after graduation. I used Gleim because of a recommendation from a professor and the great value Gleim has over its competitors. I passed all four parts within nine months with two months of studying for each section. I could not have done it without Gleim.

I just got my last score in the mail today, 92 on my REG retake. Thank you Gleim for being by my side every step of the way. I couldn't have passed the whole exam without Gleim!!! Admittedly, my disappointing performance on my first REG attempt is not a reflection on the Gleim
system. Although I did complete the online course, it felt more like going through the motions. As you can see from my retake score I buckled down and got serious to ensure that wouldn't happen again and, just as it did for the other 3 sections the Gleim system truly worked. I felt thoroughly prepared for the exam! I would highly recommend your system to anyone who wants to become a CPA.

I debated whether I could complete the CPA 14 years after college, but Gleim gave me everything I needed at a level I could understand. As someone working full time it was intimidating to try and figure out how to prepare, but by following the Gleim study plan and then doing some review after I was done I was able to pass all the exams the first time with much higher scores than I ever could have guessed. I finished all 4 exams in 6 months start to finish with an average score of 90. If you are hesitating because you have been out of school for a while, hesitate no more. With Gleim you absolutely can pass, with flying colors!

Gleim really works! I used the Gleim CPA review system, and I was able to pass all four sections of the CPA exam within two exam windows. The study counselors and sales representatives at Gleim were extremely helpful and prompt in answering my questions and meeting my study needs.

I'm happy to report that I passed all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try, all within two testing windows. I was studying for the CPA exam while working full-time and managing family responsibilities of being a wife and mother of three small children, so it was important for me to find a review program that used my study time efficiently. I followed the study suggestions made by Gleim and now I have my CPA and my dream job, teaching accounting at the college level.

Thank you, Gleim! I passed each section of the CPA Exam the first time I took them! I attribute my success to Gleim's well-structured study systems and time-proven methods, I highly recommend Gleim as THE CPA Review gold standard, as do my University's accounting department and professors. Additionally, the prices are reasonable and the online portion is excellent!

I have successfully completed the CPA examination, and passed all sections on the first try with Gleim. My scores on the exam were BEC - 86, FAR - 93, REG - 94, AUD - 93. It only took from April 16th to November 5th to pass all 4 sections, and I took a week off between each. I have since recommended your products to many candidates.

I recommend Gleim study materials to everyone I meet who is preparing for the CPA exam. I tried another company's materials for one section and Gleim was far easier to study due to their layout, examples, and presentation of the material. The multiple-choice and simulation questions prepared me for all the different types of questions on the exam and there were not surprises. I passed all four sections on my first try with an average score of 93!

When compared to a competitor I previously used, I felt much more comfortable using Gleim Online. Gleim was easier to use, took less studying time per section, and I felt much more well-prepared when going through the tests. I recommend Gleim.

The Gleim CPA review system was just what I needed to get through the CPA testing process! I would like to personally thank everyone at Gleim
for their help and support over the course of my journey. Gleim assigns a personal counselor to each individual student which really helped me stay on track. Working with my counselor made it much easier for me to abide by my personal study schedule (created with the help of my counselor). Additionally, with Gleim there many sources of information to choose from. I used the text book, online review, and the audio CD's to familiarize myself with the commonly tested information. Repetition is the key to your success with this test, and Gleim offers this in the best method possible.

I purchased Gleim at the time the CPA exam was doing its very first computer testing. Since no one had taken the computer version, there was no one to get advice from because CPAs only had the written test to talk about. I have a pilot friend who said that he used the Gleim products to help him with his aviation tests and really liked how they were set up. It was good enough for me. On my way to work, I would listen to a cassette tape. It gave me great inspiration to keep a positive attitude. I worked six days a week and rested on Sunday with no studying. I napped when I
needed to and got a little exercise in between to break up the time.
Because I had such a good experience with the CPA study program, I have purchased self-study CPE from Gleim every year since. The topics are current, pertinent, and arranged so that I learn more than I do sitting through an entire day of a live speaker. I highly recommend the Gleim program to any CPA candidates who want to succeed. By the way, I have taken a few flying lessons in a Cessna 172. If I decide to get a pilot's license, I will purchase the Gleim aviation program.

Thanks to Gleim for providing me excellent review materials, simulations, multiple-choice questions, online unit tests and practice exams. I must say, the team of experts did a great job in solving all my queries in a timely manner. Now, if anyone asks me which review material to be used for CPA exams, my response is Gleim and only Gleim. Just complete each and every little thing (even True / False) they have provided and you will pass on the first attempt. It is only because of Gleim that I was able to achieve my average score above 90 (AUD 95, FAR 93, BEC 90 and REG 89). Thank You Gleim!

I am overly thrilled with the results I received from using the Gleim CPA Review System. Some of my graduate courses used the Gleim books as our class materials and I was so pleased with how it prepared me for my classes that I chose the system for my review for the CPA exam. I passed all 4 sections within the first 18 month window. The system is so comprehensive and versatile that I believe anyone could succeed if you follow the complete review system. I have friends that have used other review providers and I passed the exam more quickly and with higher results than most of them.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Gleim for the comprehensive and well organized study materials that you produce. Thanks to the Gleim CPA and CMA Review Systems, I have successfully completed the CPA and CMA exams, both within a single 18 month period. The combination of book, test prep software, audio CDs for my long daily commute, and online studies (inclusive of a live personal counselor), provided the information and training necessary to understand and pass the exams.

The GLEIM Review System was simply amazing! Complex content was broken down into easily conquered study units, and the GLEIM support team provided encouragement and tactical advice when faced with particularly difficult subject matter. Thanks in large part to GLEIM, I passed all four parts of the CPA Exam on the first try. I strongly recommend the total review system.

I was very happy with the results I got on the CPA exam using the Gleim study materials. I passed all of the exams on the first try and had
them all completed within six months. I used all aspects of the Gleim study materials to obtain those results. The Gleim Test Prep software was extremely beneficial because I was able to see the kinds of questions that could be asked on the CPA exam and apply the knowledge gained from reading the books and listening to the audiovisual presentations. I hope this testimonial will help others choose Gleim as
their study source for the CPA exam. Thanks!

Gleim is the perfect combination of value and thoroughness. As someone who had to complete the CPA program within a budget, I needed to select
the company I used for my review carefully. With Gleim, I got everything I needed: excellent support, complete, organized, and easy-to-understand materials! I strongly recommend Gleim to any self-starter preparing for the CPA exam.

Nathaniel Crawford, CPA

Gleim definitely worked for me! What I liked best about the Gleim system is that it breaks up the material into several different lessons that are much easier to manage than the other programs that I have used. The material gets straight to the point and tells me exactly what I need to know. The presentation of each lesson was easy to understand and I never felt overwhelmed with confusing language. Thank you so much to Dr. Gleim and his entire team!"

I found Gleim's system to be the easiest way to practice multiple-choice questions and learn what I did correct or incorrect for each question. Their system of multiple-choice practice exams and study questions is by far the best of any study system.
Logan Bowles, CPA

I used the Gleim outlines and problem/solutions manuals to study for the November, 1977 CPA exam. Other candidates gathered as much material as they could to study for the exam. I learn better by eliminating excess detail and concentrating on the key elements of study. The Gleim outlines provided the core information that I needed to learn without overkill. I studied them for 1 hour a day and worked problems in the problem/solutions manuals for 1 hour a day for six months leading up to the exam. I was able to pass the exam in one sitting, which only 6% of
the candidates were able to do. Since that time, I have used Gleim for much of my CPE and have been very satisfied with the price, presentation, and accuracy of the courses provided.

As I prepared to start the review course, I re-read System for Success and decided I would "work the program" the way Gleim suggests. Through
all four sections I continued to "work the program." This lead to passing all four sections with no retakes. Even in my weakest section, Audit, I was able to use Gleim successfully. It baffles me that anyone would pay twice as much. Gleim system is a powerhouse. With the different formats I was able to study on the beach, in the car, at work, on the bus, you name it. Also, my personal counselor was helpful in getting answers to questions and providing encouragement. I am so
thankful that I got through in one shot. The time commitment to review for the exams is huge. I would hate to have to re-study and sacrifice my free time again to pass.

The Gleim system worked great for me. I took a test each testing window this year and passed each one with no score below an 82. I finished my accounting degree in 1989 and had worked out of the industry until three years ago. I have not had an accounting class in over twenty years, and the Gleim self-study system was perfect for me. I especially liked the time management aspects and the multiple choice software.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for preparing me for the FAR section of the CPA exam. I would have to say that I was only able to pass the exam because of the Gleim software and your counseling. I have attempted to pass this section 3 times using another software, and I can assure you that I didn't understand all of the concepts until I switched to Gleim. Again, thanks for everything and there is absolutely no way that I would recommend any software other than Gleim. Gleim helped me pass after only studying for 2.5 weeks.

Taking the CPA exam while working full time as a financial manager seemed quite a challenge. Gleim's online classroom, books and CPA Test Prep Software provide a strong framework for achieving success while balancing a busy schedule. To date, I have successfully passed both the Auditing Section and the Financial Reporting section by exclusively using Gleim. I am confident by using Gleim, I will also be successful on the BEC and the REG in the upcoming months.

I have just passed the last section of the CPA examination. It took me 12 months to finish all four sections with scores as follows: REG - 95, FAR - 86, BEC - 79, and AUD - 84. I want to thank Gleim and its staff for their great products and comprehensive services. I did not have time to attend CPA review courses; therefore, I depended solely on the materials from Gleim. I have also taken advantage of the personal counseling service that Gleim offers. The personal counselors would respond to my questions immediately. Based on my performance on the online simulation, they identified one of my weaknesses and gave me the right tool to improve. The CPA Hot Topics emails are very informative and encouraging. Your products not only have helped me pass all four sections but also are helping me in my job today. Thank you so much for such great resources!

I had used Gleim 20 years ago when I passed the CMA--so there was no question that I would choose Gleim again [for the CPA exam]. The study material was very helpful. When I was driving or working out I would listen to the CD's. I would use the Test Prep material on my lap top when I was traveling or just before taking the test. The online material helped keep me focused on what to study next. The audit material really supplied me with very practical material that I could use in my job.

I'm as pleased as can be with the Gleim CPA review course. As a 50+ year old with a career path away from accounting, preparation for the CPA exam was a daunting task. A close friend in accounting education recommended this review course. He uses it with his students. The course provided me the information and training I needed to pass the exam. Your software's emulation of the exam was particularly effective. I used it in my studies so much that the exam seemed like another study session. I passed each section the first time I attempted it and completed all sections with four months to spare in the eighteen month window. I recommend the Gleim CPA review course to anyone and everyone seeking to pass the CPA exam.

I purchased your Gleim CPA review in August 1977 (it may have been your
2nd edition). That's after taking one of your competitor's twice. I
passed all four parts on my second try with your reviews in 1979. In
1993, I passed the CIA exam on my second try with your reviews. In
2002, I passed the EA exam, which I believe is as difficult as the CPA
exam, on my first try, again thanks to your EA Review course. I owe much
to you professionally for your courses. All that you need to pass
professional exams are Gleim review courses and a dose of perseverance.

I am so impressed with Gleim study material. Before using Gleim, I had passed one section but failed twice on another when using a competitor's materials. As frustration kicked in I decided to switch to Gleim because it provides additional audio CD that I could listen during commute time driving. Unbelievable, I passed three remaining sections without any repeated attempt!

Thanks so much to Gleim for making studying fun, less boring, and at a much more affordable price than [a competitor]!

I cannot thank you and the staff at Gleim enough for the tremendous help that the Gleim system provided me in my pursuit of a passing grade on the CPA exam! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! To be perfectly honest, I was, at first, skeptical of the Gleim system - I simply could not imagine that this course method was as effective as it was professed to be. But feeling desperate for a passing grade, I subscribed to my first section with Gleim, followed the suggested study plan and then couldn't believe my eyes when I received my passing grade - about 7 points higher than I ever would have expected. I then subscribed to the following sections and met with tremendous success. Of course, I have Gleim to thank for this fool-proof system! Thank you Gleim!

I've found Gleim's materials to be very helpful in preparing me to take
the exams. Thanks to Gleim's materials, I passed AUD, REG, and BEC on
the first time sitting for each exam.
Gleim's materials were very effective, comprehensive, and easy to use. I
liked how each exam section was broken down in to 20 units, and how each
unit was further broken down. My study technique usually involved using
the online questions, audio-visual presentation, true/false, hard-copy
book, and online simulation. I would then re-cap with the CD-rom
questions. The CD rom questions and online simulations nearly mirror
the actual testing environment, and that makes it much easier to take
the exam. I also enjoyed the encouraging thoughts on taking the exam
provided in one of the pamphlets provided when I purchased the
materials.

It was very simple. The Test Prep software is very user-friendly and contains variety of customizable usage options which was really handy! The number of questions is huge and the level of coverage is extensive. The answer choices provide good explanations, updated law provisions wherever needed and are well-presented. The simulations are a replica of how they appear on the actual exam. Even though they were online, I had no problems accessing them. Lastly, their entire range of products is extremely cost-effective and high value for the money. Other similar products in the market are providing similar options but at an extremely high cost which is just not justifiable. I would recommend this excellent and easy way to clearing the CPA exams, just like I did, to anyone.

I wish the Gleim CD based training and tests were around when I took the
CPA exam in 1976. My wife had been a student of Professor Gleim at the
University of Florida and still had her CPA Review books that were part of
the text used in the Advanced Accounting class. I reviewed these as I
could while working my first tax season out of college. I got passing
grades in Practice and Auditing, but got scores in the 90's on the Theory
and Law parts. I credit that to the CPA review books as I would never
have had time to go back through my text books to prepare.
In 2004, I was audit director for a major segment of a Fortune 100 company
and decided I needed to get my CIA certification. This was during the
height of Sarbanes-Oxley documentation and testing. I used the Gleim
CD-based CIA review course, mostly focusing on the sample tests to get
used to the types of questions and to make sure I know what I needed to
focus on. I managed to pass the exam in my first sitting, getting the
"William Smith Award" for one of the top scores on that exam. I really
give the credit to the Gleim study materials that were so efficiently
designed and on-point that there was little covered on the exam that I was
not prepared to answer.
I am now Chief Financial Officer for a Georgia-based insurance company and
I encourage our CPA's and CPA candidates to use Gleim for their CPE and
exam preparation.

Utilizing Gleim study materials, I was able to pass each section of the CPA exam on my first attempt. I would highly recommend the study materials offered by Gleim to any CPA exam candidate.

I am happy to report that I passed all four parts of my exam already and thankfully do not have to study anymore. A big thanks to Gleim for their program.

I started using Gleim Publications after a recommendation from a friend of mine who had used Gleim books. I was using other books to study but the presentation did not seem quite right.
I was also advised to make use of Gleim Online Simulation package. Initially I ignored that aspect, and I quickly found out that my weak point was actually answering the simulation questions. Gleim Online solved my fear of answering simulation questions.
I used Gleim books for 3 out of the four papers. I found the books clear, straight to the point and the simulation exercises at the end of each chapter were very good.
I would advise anybody to go for Gleim books, get the Q & E discs and also sign up for Online simulation practice. Gleim material is very reasonable in terms of costs as compared with other books and they are a must for any candidate who wants to get through the CPA very fast.

I became a CPA in
February. Gleim, hands down, was the best method to study. Thank you
very much for your products!
