Why is this free?
We're CPA candidates who spent months grinding through expensive review courses. We built CPA Exam Lab because we believe exam prep quality shouldn't depend on your budget. Becker charges $3,000. Roger charges $1,500. We think every student deserves the same shot at passing regardless of what they can afford.
If CPA Exam Lab helped you pass - or saved you money on a review course - consider paying it forward. Every contribution goes directly toward keeping this free and building out REG and BAR.
No pressure. The study guide is free regardless.
