CPA Final Review Week

Final Week Schedule

Heres a recommended approach for your final 7 days before the exam.

High-Yield Topics to Review

Focus your limited time on topics that appear frequently and carry significant weight. If youre still shaky on a specific FAR topic like consolidations or leases, a quick targeted course from Pass with Jack can shore up that weak spot without revisiting your entire review course.

• Topics where youve consistently struggled
• Heavily tested areas (check your review courses emphasis)
• Recent changes or updates (CPA Evolution content)
• Common simulation topics
• Research question technique (easy points)

What to Avoid in Final Week

Some well-intentioned actions can hurt your performance.

• Dont learn new material—reinforce what you know
• Dont study for more than 6-8 hours on any day
• Dont take practice exams the day before
• Dont read online forums about exam difficulty
• Dont change your sleep schedule drastically

• Know your testing center location and parking
• Eat a normal dinner (nothing unusual)
• Go to bed at your normal time (7-8 hours of sleep)
