Hi Cindy/Phil/Bonnie,
I just wanted to let you know I PASSED all the CPA sections required for licensure. Thank you all so much for all your support in answering my questions and offering your support. I can not compare you to other cpa review programs since I believed in you guys and chose to stick with you. The sign of a good instructor which you are is taking complicated material and simplifying into understandable terms. You both have a wacky sense of humor which I have also so enjoyed the lectures.
(Hopefully, Bonnie doesn’t yell at me for sending to Phil’s wrong email address J.)
FYI ... I went to a smaller university in Chicago and no one ever heard/talked about Yeager. My buddy and I felt Becker was arrogant when they came out to our school and wanted to choose someone else.
Have a great day!
--John Olsen, CPA ***
**disclaimer: I am still waiting for my licensing board to bless my apt.

Dear Cindy,
I just want to drop a note to say thank you so much for your call and tips. It worked and I passed with an 83 in BEC and I am done w/ the exam! I also passed REG w/ a 75 and I will gladly take this w/me.
It has been quite a challenging journey but I am very happy that I endured and crossed the finished line. The Yaeger materials were very helpful and it turned me into a CPA (graduated in 1994), truly amazing.
Have a happy holiday!
Regards,
--Cindy Ng

Hey. I've been meaning to send you an e-mail the past month or two and just haven't had a chance to get around to it. I wanted to thank you for all of your help and for a great program that you all put out in 2011 for FAR. This was my third time taking the test and was the only one keeping me from getting my CPA. I used Becker (as it was provided by our firm) for all of the sections including FAR and for some reason it just didn't click with me as well as your all's program did. I used your's one time and passed with an 81. I am finally finished and couldn't be happier! I just wanted to send you an e-mail to say thank you and let you know that I'm proof that your program is great!
Thanks again and have a great Holidays!

Hello Phil,
Just got my scores for FAR and I passed with an 82. I am very pleased with
your review. This year I am 3 for 3.
Thanks

I got a 92. Thanks to Yaeger Review, I have three down. Just REG to go.
Unfortunately, I focused too much on studying (and work and family) and neglected the practical matters of renewing my drivers license and passport. I could not take the test at the scheduled time, and I had to rush to the Registry for a new license, and throw myself on the mercy of the test center manager for a new time slot. (She was very nice about it.) And I still passed!
thanks

Please let Phil know that I've cleared Regulation with a score of 83. Thanks to his excellent teaching & timely updates for the success. With this, I've cleared BEC, Audit & Regulation in the first attempt itself. Grateful to Phil & the rest of the team for their efforts in making this happen.

Yaeger CPA Review,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the everyone involved in the production of the Yaeger CPA review course. I took my first exam February 2011 and passed that section and the other three sections all on the first time! I finished the exam October 2011, the entire process took less than a year! I am so happy to have the exam out of the way and to have had such great success. I studied hard and did everything that I was instructed to do throughout the course and had the results I was hoping for.
In planning to take the exam, I did a lot of research on different review courses. The up-to-date material, the personal service, and the price were all factors which aided me in making my decision. I'm very happy with what I got out of the course and would recommend Yaeger CPA review to anyone. Anyone hoping to become a CPA should not waste their time with other review courses, Yaeger CPA is the best!
Again, thank you for everything, I really appreciate it!
Best Regards,
--John Kane

Bonni, Phil, and Cindy,
Jason Lipschultz here from Chicago...you'll remember me with the emails and calls we exchanged the week before my FAR exam I took at 10/22. The great news is that I PASSED with a 78! That's an 11 point swing from the 67 I got with Becker from when I last took the exam in May 2011. I am now officially done with all four sections and am shortly on my way to officially becoming a CPA!
Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the high quality nature and content of your course and your time and personal dedication. I am not an accountant by background and do not have an accounting degree, however, with your excellent course and my dedication I was able to achieve something that I was honestly not sure I could achieve. Me (and my wife!) are extremely appreciative and thankful.
You can now officially count me in as a 'Yaeger Convert'!!!
All the best to you and your families this holiday season,
--Jason Lipschultz

I took FAR on 10/24/2011 and passed with a 77! This was my first attempt at any of the tests, and I prepared over the course of two months. I allotted myself an hour for each testlet (mistake on my part… should have given myself more time on the task-based simulations). Even though I passed, I feel that I should I done better because Yaeger CPA covered the material so thoroughly. I knew I did well on the MCQ, but had to rush through the TBS and would have probably done better if I had allwed myself more time better. I was confident I would pass. Unfortunately, I believe that one of TBS that I performed well on was a pre-test question, but that should speak volumes to the quality of the Yaeger program to still be able to pass. I will be sitting for AUD next Monday 11/28/2011.

Since the very moment i turned the lessons on i knew this was the right course for me. Today i received the results for my last exam with a passing score of 81 (REG).

Bonni and Cindy,
I just got my BEC score and passed with an 81! I am now 3 for 3 using the Yaeger review course. I have REG scheduled for Jan 23rd and hopefully that will complete this journey. Thank you for an excellent review course.
Thank you Cindy for helping me thru BEC. It was quite challenging at times, but you explained the material very well.

Bonnie,
I would like to thank all of you at Yaeger for helping me pass all parts of the CPA exam. The last part was BEC and asked you about a month ago for some tips for passing. I hear the blog radio and followed the tips. I would like to specially thank Cindy for taking her time in explaining concepts that for some of us out of school were so foreign.
Thanks again.

Hi.
My name is Eun Lee. In January of this year, I bought Homestudy (entire sections), but I did not start to study until March.
For two months, I just looked at the pile of 4 books and was too intimidated to start studying. I just didn't know where to start.
I finally began my study in March. I passed BEC in May with the magic number, 75. Then I enjoyed the Summer. I started to study again in August and took my REG in October 2, 2011.
I thought I messed up the test and worried about the score for the whole month. I was so sure that there was no way that I could get 75.
So, when I got the score today, I was so surprised that I got 83, even better than BEC!!
Please give my thanks to Mr.Phil Yaeger and Mrs. Cindy. I always enjoyed listening to Mr.Phil's lectures. I am going to take FAR on November 26, 2011. Wish me luck! Thank you.

Dear Cindy and Phil
Just to let you know that the score of Middle East Candidates released tonight. The window in Middle East started from 1st August 2011. I opted to appear for both beasts, FAR and REG, in August and cleared both exams with 83 in FAR and 84 in Reg with the help of both (Cindy and Phil). I was 50% confident after appearing in exam. But, your help made it 100% possible. I would like to thank you from bottom of my heart and God bless both of you long life and prosperity. I am working in Middle East and had no exprience of American laws and taxes, and still I was able to clear these exams in my first attempt. I acknowledge that I put a lot of efforts but your guidance helped a lot as I was alone while preparing these exams and you helped me step by step to clear these most tough exams of CPA.
Now, I am planning to appear in BEC and would like to have your support in this exam as well. Once again, I would like to thank you both.

Dear Yaeger Team;
I passed, I passed!!! My story – I'm 55 years old and on December 24th 2009, the company I was working for officially folded, (Ho – Ho – Ho!). Since I was unemployed for the first time in 30 years, I figured it would be a good time to take the CPA exam. After doing the research, I figured that the Yaeger CPA Review gave you the "best bang for the buck".
In May 2010, I found a new job and completed the FAR part of the exam. I got an 86 first time. So now, I had a new job and all its responsibilities plus taking the balance of the CPA exam. Mind you, there are several areas of the exam that I have not been exposed to since my college days. I stuck with the program, listening to Phil, Cindy and Gary on my way to and from work and studying weekends. It paid off. I passed all four parts and got my last official score in September 2011. (Scores were FAR 86, AUD 74, then on the retake, 83; BEC 75; REG 71; then 79 on the Retake).
To all the potential candidates on the planet; If you want to make Accounting your vocation, you must get your CPA; If you want to pass the CPA in the quickest most efficient manner possible; take the Yaeger Review.
My utmost compliments to the Yaeger team…
Thanks

Phil,
I passed REG – got my score today (as I live in the snail mail state of NC).
I was able to pass REG the 1st go round thanks to your great explanation of property exchanges. I had a horribly difficult simulation. I was able to apply your methods – and did FANTASTIC. I never felt better after leaving the exam.
When I say I passed REG the 1st time – I mean – this is the 1st time I've studied. I'm 34 – and finished my accounting classes when I was 24.
I didn't know any review courses existed outside of Becker. I took the paper twice and just gave up – I just thought it to be impossible. After 8 years of messing around, I decided – the CPA is a must since I'm staying in public accounting. I ordered BECKER and started going to the classes – I cried after the 1st class and told my Mom – "they teach you nothing, they just review as if you've just finished a MAC program."
I began researching the internet and found your course. You and Cindy are great. If it were not for the both of you – I would not have passing grades on BEC or REG. I have 2 more to go – but now have the confidence and assurance that the CPA is not impossible. You have to commit to the hours of studying and have the right materials – and you are set for success.
Thanks again for dedicating your career to helping us (the candidates) – I'd still be highlighting if you were not around!

Subject: I passed!
Hi Bonni!
I passed my final two sections, BEC (91) and REG (86) this last testing window, on my first try!
I have to tell you, I did not listen to Phil at first about REG and got really overwhelmed. I tried to do too many extra problems and was doing terribly on practice tests, and getting overwhelmed. When I had one week left to study, and was still not doing well, I realized that I wasn't doing well because I was still trying to learn new information instead of absorbing all of the info Phil told me to focus on. I decided to drop everything at that point and trust Phil. I spent the last week, day and evening, doing ONLY Phil problems. I felt very prepared for the exam and passed!
I should have listened from the beginning, but at least I got my act together. I think you guys really focus on what is pertinent to the exam.
Thank you!

Dear Yaeger team,
I want to thank all of you, from bottom of my heart. Your help encouraged me to pass all parts of the CPA exam.
Your review materials are so efficient and powerful. I followed exactly what the instructors said and it turned out wonderful.
I got FAR 77, AUD 75, BEC 78 and REG 86 (which is a miracle. Thank you, Sonny for your timely support after I failed the first try of 74).
Your service is excellent and I could not have fulfilled my CPA dream without your support!
Once again, thank you all!

Thank you Yaeger, especially Cindy! She is such a good instructor – she explains everything very clearly and she makes it enjoyable to study (a seemingly impossible feat for an instructor). I have a very clear and thorough understanding of accounting thanks to Cindy.
Please post this with your testimonials!
Thanks again,

Dear Phil and Bonni and Yaeger team-
I just wanted to thank your team for your great product in helping me pass REG. I initially bought the Gleim CPA-prep materials and passed the other 3 sections. However, I took REG twice and couldn't pass. My score kept getting worse and worse. My first score was 74, then 63. I was getting really frustrated. I decided to call Jeff Elliott of Another71.com and he recommended that I order Yaeger ASAP and said I wouldn't regret it. I followed Phil Yaeger's study program as best as I could and felt a lot more confident going into the test center. The simulations seemed like a breeze this time. The simulation calculations that I had to do were all reviewed in great detail during Yaeger's course. I passed with an 85 using Yaeger's program! Thank you!

Good Morning Yaeger Team,
I wish to extend my greatest thank you to all of you for your help and dedication to getting students like me through the CPA exam. That is right. I just received my final test results this morning and I PASSED! I could NOT have made this journey without your assistance every step of the way. This has been a long journey for this stay at home mom in Delaware of a 7 year old and 3 year old, who had been out of school for 10 years when I started studying. You not only assisted me, but my husband as well. We both passed the CPA exam using your program, through tax seasons and children! That is a huge statement. I will always recommend your program to whoever I speak with about this journey because your program WORKS!!! Phil said, "I will do whatever I can to help you get through this test." Phil, you fulfilled your promise! Thank you to you and your outstanding teaching staff!!
Sincerely Team Yaeger's very appreciative student,

Team Yaeger,
Thanks so much for helping me finally pass this beast! I don't know if you remember but I emailed you a couple months ago after I found out I got a 73 on FAR. I was going to purchase your cram but didn't have the money so I re-watched all the regular videos (51 hours!) in less than 3 weeks. Did all the questions 2 times over and did 5 practice exams on the Wiley site! That was enough to raise my score to an 81.
I am now waiting for my regs score to post. I used your regular homestudy and CRAM but I think the MCQ still got me. We will see.
Thanks again to you and your team!!!

Subject: PASSED!
Hello Yaeger CPA!
I am very happy, relieved, shocked, un-weighted, right now as I sit and ponder that I have finally passed my last part of the CPA Exam and I am finished. It has been a long 20 month journey from start of studying to finish and I must say I am a little exhausted.
I can honestly say that I truly was a Yaeger convert after all of my previous attempts and failures until I switched to Yaeger and passed. I have to wonder why I was dumb enough to fail FAR 3 times before switching and Audit 4 times before I made the switch. I could be a case study for sure. But in the end, it was Yaeger that got me through and to a point where I can say: "I AM DONE!"
A great big huge thank you to all of the instructors for their time and expertise in the videos, the availability of Phil and other staff members for phone calls in those times of help and need and confusion (which btw, other companies are not so nice about, and quite condescending at times), and the great products Yaeger offers in conjunction with Wiley to create, in my estimation, the BEST CPA study aid on the market.
The Audit CRAM that I received, in response to a written request, gave me the extra study boost right before exam time and left me with a higher level of confidence in being ready for that last test, which I passed with my highest score ever and came up 17 points from my previous failure in doing so.
Yaeger ROCKS!
Just say "YES!" to Yaeger and "Git 'er done people!"
A most happy Yaeger student and now CPA,
– Kelli Mayer

Dear Bonni,
Please forward this email to Gary to thank him for helping me with the Audit part of the CPA exam. His help was clear, concise and helped me immensely to get through the exam. I received a score of 91 on the exam and now am 2 for 2 with your course (92 with FAR in April)
Thank You

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent product you produce. In case you need yet another testimony, you are free to post this below.
I just got my scores for Audit. I passed with a 90! I was so prepared for the exam and felt really good when I left, which made me nervous that I had a false sense of security, but deep down I knew that I was well prepared. Gary is an excellent instructor; he emphasized the important points of the exam questions so much that I caught myself reading the questions as he did when I was taking the exam. It worked and kept me from missing the "except fors" and "nots". I have passed FAR and AUD using Yaeger and I am currently studying for BEC which I plan to take in November. My goal was to pass 3 in 2011 and I am going to do it with the help of Yaeger!
My advice to athers: "Stop shopping and buy it! You will not regret it!"

fyi – I'm not a recent college graduate and definitely not in your "target market". 52 years old and have been out of school for many years. I am very pleased!
Working on REG now with Phil (testing in Nov) and then Far (testing in Feb 2012). I pray I can sustain the momentum and pass those two beasts!

Bonni,
Thank you very much for your advice, and particularly for the honest and straightforward approach to my issue. My experience in dealing with you has really proven to me that Yaeger CPA Review is clearly the best. This is truly a validation of what I've heard from other candidates. I will accumulate the funds, and get the review materials at the appropriate time, and also schedule the exams as recommended. Once again, thank you.

I just wanted to thank you and your team especially Dr. Phil Yaeger and Gary for helping me successfully pass the FARE of CPA Exam last May. I got an 86. I coudn't have done it without all of you. I used the DVD's and did all the questions told to do and followed everything you recommended. However, I wasn't sure what to expect after the test for certain, but very happy with my score! I have passed BEC and FARE now, 2 more to go. I am a mother of a 5 year old so I am taking one at a time to make sure I pass on the first go.

I used Yaeger Homestudy for BEC last November. I had just finished taking FAR in the middle of the month and used Yaegar for that as well. I wanted to finish as much as possible before the changes occured and only had two weeks to study for BEC. Luckily, Cindy and Phil for both sections were receptive to student learning with plenty of examples. They also narrowed down the questions to the ones that would help me the most. Although I had two weeks for BEC, I passed
both with plenty of cushion. Their teaching styles left me with no choice but to purchase the REG Homestudy with CRAM for 2011.

I am a Yaeger-thusiast! Thanks to the excellent prep I passed all 4 sections the first time. I could almost hear the Yaeger instructors in my head as I was taking the tests ("It's not a taxable event!" "Use the fake cash method"). My undergrad degree was over 30 years ago, and as a government employee I don't do accounting or tax work on a daily basis — I needed a prep class and Yaeger more than delivered at a reasonable price.
–Diane Page
Bonni/Phil,
I don't know if you remember, but during the radio show in which I was a guest, Phil said all he wanted was for me to pass, and even though I am only a cram student, he'd answer all my questions anyway. I have one question for him…
What do I do with my free time now that I'm a CPA!?!?!?!?
That's right… I passed. Took my 73 and turned it into an 83. I blame 100% of my passing grades on the Yaeger Team! This is a wonderful support group!
On the radio show, Phil warned me "know your installment sales." Yes… you were right!
This is a deep heartfelt thank you from me. I could not have done this without your team. I am a CPA (paperwork pending) today because I found the right system for me… it was your course.
I would be more than happy to be available to you in the future for anything you need. I am screaming the Yaeger name on every rooftop I can find. Anyone that asks me about CPA review courses, I tell them my Becker experience and how Yaeger got me where I needed to be. In fact, I had someone just yesterday asking about it and is planning to drop their Becker for you.
I can't thank you enough, say good enough things about you, or get enough people to buy your course to show my gratitude.
Thank you,

Becker just didn't work for me. Highlighting, underlining, writing little notes in the margin of the text and writing down a ton of mnemonics doesn't work for me. I prefer listening to the lecture and working through problems with someone. More like the college environment with my professor at the board. Learning the "Y" versus just memorizing in order to regurgitate for an exam.
–Stefan

I just couldn't pass REG and AUDIT with Becker. The first time using your products I passed REG with a 78 and AUD with an 87! I have now passed all 4 parts and I only wish I had used your product before WASTING my money on the other ones. I'm not an auditor, so, obviously in AUD going from 71 to 87 was amazing to me…

Dear Phil, Cindy and Gary,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent review program for the FARE part of the CPA exam. Thanks to your review courses, I was able to get a 92 on my first try on the CPA exam. I still have the other 3 sections to study for (which I have your CPA course for too), but if the other courses are as good as the FARE course was, I am confident that I have made a great investment.

Hi Cindy,

Good morning Bonni.
I got the results this morning for my FAR exam and I passed with and
80!!!!! This was the first part that I took after being out of college for
20 years. I am scheduled to take AUD in July. So far, I am 1 for 1 using
the Yaeger Home Study Course. Your course had me completely prepared for
this exam. There was not one thing on the exam that you all did not cover.
I also appreciated all of the test taking techniques that were pointed out
during the classes (like … answers). My confidence level has
grown so much with this passing score. Please pass along my sincere thanks
to Phil, Cindy, and Gary and the rest of the team.

Hi Bonni -
I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to everyone at Yaeger CPA Review (and especially PHIL!!!) for all your help and the great way you all prepped me so I could PASS my exams!! I had tried Becker in 2006, took 2 exams and didn't pass. Then I purchased CPA Excel, but I couldn't even get thru the course(too complex!). I had basicly given up my CPA dream, but in 2010 I found out about Yaeger CPA review – what a difference your teaching technique made for me!!! Your style of using a white board and teaching the concepts (instead of memorizing!) and being able to call or email and actually get help from the instructor made such a difference – WOW!!
Anyway, in less than 10 months I was able to study & pass all 4 CPA exams on the first try!! During this same time I was either working full time or working full time finishing up my MBA – and it was your program that made it possible for me!!! I got an 85 in Reg, and 85 in Audit, an 82 in FAR and finally found out 3/31/11 (took it 1/14/11) that I passed BEC with a 76 (still on the right side of '75''!), and I am SO GRATEFUL
!!
Please let Phil know how thankful I am and how much I appreciate everything he did. When I spoke to Phil, I felt like I had a coach working with me in order to develop a strategy so that I could have succes on 'game day' – he's amazing & it worked!! Sonny was great too – he was so helpful getting me my materais & when I was a nervous wreck before Audit, his pep talk really boosted my confidence!!
So, suffice it to say Yaeger's instructors are GREAT, your materials are THE BEST, your support team ROCKS, and I am so HAPPY to finally have my CPA !!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!
The very best to you and all the Yaeger team,
Kathleen Hill

Hi Bonni and John!
Greetings from Seattle. This is Marla Lockhart, the instructor from South Seattle Community College.
I began with the FAR. I studied for a very short time, using a variety of sources. I was REALLY worried about Deferred Taxes. Then I watched Phil's chapter and felt much better.
After the test, I called to thank him for an *outstanding* lecture on Deferred Taxes, which included … (specific entries that I can't discuss with you.) But I distinctly remember Phil on the video saying, "If anyone is having trouble with this, CALL ME – I want to make sure you get it." WOW. I've used other review providers, and I've never seen anything like that kind of caring for students' success with individual questions (and I'm an accounting teacher!). That inspired me to make sure that I got it, and I went into the exam feeling so much better about TDAs and TDLs. THANK YOU AGAIN!

I just wanted to send a quick thank you note to all of you at Yaeger. I found out a week ago that my journey with the CPA exam has, thankfully, come to an end! I used the Yaeger homestudy course for all 4 parts.
I am currently a stay-at-home mom with 2 preschool age boys, so when I decided almost a year ago to re-visit the CPA exam, I knew I would have to choose a review course that allowed me the flexibility to study whenever I wasn't elbow deep in laundry or dirty dishes. I also looked for a course that would cover the important aspects of the material, rather than every last detail. My mommy brain is cluttered enough, so I did not want to take on the burden of learning every last thing that could possibly be tested. I am so grateful that I came across Yaeger while looking at different review course options. It was the perfect choice for me!
Please let Cindy and Phil know that they are rock stars, in my humble opinion. After letting the Yaeger team guide me through FAR, I was thrilled (and surprised) to receive an 89 on FAR! Once I received that first score, I became a believer in Yaeger and continued with the homestudy course for the other 3 parts.
I will definitely recommend Yaeger to anyone who is looking for a more affordable, flexible and straight-forward review course!
Thank you!

I studied full time for almost 3 months, beginning Dec. 2010, and passed all 4 sections in February 2011. I got results last month (FAR-98, BEC-88, REG-99, AUD-97). Wonderful program. It's much better than that overpriced Becker program. Save big money and pass CPA at your first trial with Yaeger program.

Bonni,
I wanted to take a little time to send the Yaeger team a "thank you". Please pass along to Phil and Gary if they have the time to read these.
I started my CPA examination journey using one of the major vendor self-review/text only products. Initially, I had no problems and managed to pass AUD, BEC, and FAR comfortably. Then, I met REG. I failed twice with a 71 and 72 and managed to lose my AUD credit in the process.
I felt that I needed a review course with a little more discipline and video instruction that could "dumb down" the concepts. The text-only review course that I was taking wasn't effective for me as one can easily get lost amongst the endless rules and exception after exception. Having someone explain and illustrate the concepts can be the difference between having a borderline grasp of an accounting topic and knowing it well enough to excel on the actual exam. Dr. Yaeger's approach in the HomeStudy class was exactly the type of instruction I needed. He focused only on those topics with a good chance at being tested on the exam and didn't waste time on the less important details – ideal for the majority of candidates with limited amounts of free time to study. After watching the REG courses and completing all assignments, I was able to boost my failing score by 15 points to an 87!
After a satisfactory experience with Dr. Yaeger, I decided to purchase the AUD HomeStudy as a refresher before reclaiming my AUD credit. My feelings towards Dr. Bulmash and his teaching approach mirror my feelings towards Dr. Yaeger's. I thought his class was equally as efficient and I had no issues getting back my AUD credit and finally finishing the CPA exam.
I can't say enough positive things about my experience with the HomeStudy review classes. I will recommend them to anyone evaluating a review course for their first attempts at the exam or to anyone that simply needs a change.
Thank you!

Hello John,
My name is Douglas Godlove and I purchased the Yaeger Home Study program back in Feb-10.
I graduated from Boise State University with a BBA Accounting major in May of 1986. I took the CPA exam at that time and only passed 2 parts and did not complete the remaining 2 parts within the 2 year following period.
Well 25 years later I decided to take the exam again as a way to refresh my education and to learn about all of the changes since my college days.
I found the home study program and the Wiley books to be an excellent way to learn and to pass the test. I began studying in early March 2010 and took the exams as follows:
BEC (82) 4/28/2010
AUD (87) 8/15/2010
FAR (85) 11/30/2010
REG (84) 1/09/2011
I have a full time job as a Business Director at a large company and found that using the materials in the limited time I had available to be very efficient.
Thanks for producing this great product. I enjoyed the humor also on the videos provided by Phil and Cindy.
Best Regards,
–Doug Godlove

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger,
I'm writing to let you know that thanks to your course lectures and explanatory handouts, I have successfully completed the CPA exam after fighting on and off with this BEAST for 5 yrs after graduating college . I used Bisk and Gleim in the past but only after sitting through every hour of Yaeger CPA review lectures was I able to slay my Goliath. I'm no genius, always have been a B+ student. The Yaeger CPA review instructors guided me every step of the way. Phil said to me, " You're having problems with journal entries on the simulations" (how he knew that without me telling him is still a mystery to me because I only told him what my failing scores were). Then he said "take the BEC comprehensive review and the FARE cram, do EXACTLY as you are instructed and you will not have to take the exam again". Following his instructions I watched the lectures intensely, taking notes, following Cindy's specific instructions on what to do and where it should be done. I did every problem outlined in the handouts and today I have slayed Goliath.
Once I complete my audit time I will be a CPA.
To all students and/or potential yaeger CPA review students I encourage you to take this course. These instructors genuinely care about their students and their success.
Phil and Bonnie, thank you for taking my phone calls and speaking with me personally. Knowing that you care about your students is not something that can be quantified by a price.
Sincerely,
–Tobayi Howton, EA

Hi,
I just wanted to send thanks. Before I found Yaeger I was using CPA excel. I failed BEC twice and barely passed Reg. I lost my Reg. credit and took all 4 sections using the Wiley book and your cram class. I passed with scores in the 80's for each exam and I only had to take each one once. I am recommending your course to all my friends. I hope the entire Yaeger team has a happy holidays.
Thanks again,
–Curtis White

Hello All,
I just wanted to let you all know that I passed the CPA exam ON THE FIRST TRY!!!! I took AUD in July (92), BEC in August (82), FAR in November (83), and REG in January (78). I couldn't do it without you guys. Now I can get that cool license plate with my initials and the CPA letters that I have always wanted!!!!
Thanks again!!

Dear Phil and Bonni:
In February, I had called Yaeger CPA review a few days before I took the Regulation exam, and spoke with both of you. I just wanted to thank you for the time you spent with and for your excellent review course. I just got my grade and received an 81! Thanks so much!
I started using a different review course for REG and struggled. Nothing was sticking in my head. I went online and read reviews about Yaeger. Long story short, I firmly believe because I switched to Yaeger, I passed on my first sitting. I wish I had used Yaeger for the entire exam!
Thanks again for your terrific review course!
All the best,
–Kim Keniston

Hi Philip, Cynthia, Gary, Michael
I want to thank all of you for helping me to pass the four CPA exams. Today, I got the final score for REG. This achievement is very important to me, because I graduated more than twenty year ago in Colombia (South America), I am not a native English Speaker and a lot of the material was completely new for me (especially REG). All of you are excellent teachers and I would like to say to Cynthia (Cindy) that you were my favorite teacher and you are very funny .
Now, I know I made the right decision buying the Yeager CPA review products. You did a great job. I did my part too and I have passed my CPA exam.
Thank you so much guys
–Ruben Agudelo
Bonni,
I don't have the huge jump to report, but with Becker, I went from a 74 DOWN to a 73. I switched toYaeger and went from a 73 to 81 for FAR. And now I am DONE!!! I wish I was with you guys from the start. I would have saved a fortune.
Anyway, thanks so much again, and I'll be recommending you to any friend and/or fellow candidate that asks. Please express my thanks to Cindy, Phil, and Gary as well.

Hi Yaeger,
I just wanted to take a moment to commend Yaeger on a fabulous job for the Yaeger BEC review. Particularly I would like to commend Cindy for a job well done for the lectures in BEC.
One of the things students may not realize going into their review course with the CPA for the first time is the time that must be invested. The hours invested into the lectures were lengthy but very much appreciated. Cindy was not only able to explain things well but she also took the time to rip the questions apart to anticipate any questions that might have been asked in a different format. This in fact helped me a great deal because it forced me to tackle the questions in more than one dimension thereby preparing me very well for the exam. Furthermore I was able to narrow down my answers through process of elimination.
Yaeger BEC is definitely a winner with Cindy Simpson in the BEC lectures. Her enthusiasm is so contagious that I laughed along with her and it made my experience fun. She always managed to keep the energy going even when some of the material was not very exciting.
I took the BEC exam on Wednesday so I hope that Yaeger's excellent BEC review course pulls me through. This is my last part, hopefully!
Best regards,
–Edith
Just wanted to let you & the rest of the teachers know that I really enjoy the sessions with you all – Cindy's an amazing instructor & coupled with her laughter & joi de vivre it's a pleasure to study with her. Your dry humour is no less entertaining. And as a team you both rock ! So whoever has commented on why there's so much gaiety & fun in the teaching sessions, kindly ignore him. This camaraderie works as a tonic in livening up the topics which are as dry as us long-faced accountants & makes the learnings that much more easier.
Thank you & best regards,

Dear Yaeger CPA Review,
Thanks to your products, I was able to pass all four parts of the CPA exam. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago last summer, and am starting law school in January. Knowing my time was limited, I wanted to have my CPA finished before I started law school so I would not have to worry about studying for both simultaneously. After doing much research on review products, I decided to put my faith in Yaeger's products and it was fully rewarded. Not only was I able to pass, but I was able to pass all four parts on my first try in one testing period (October/November).
I began studying on September 7, 2010 for FAR and took the exam on October 11, 2010 and scored a 79. I then took Audit next on October 26, 2010 and scored an 81. Next, I took REG on November 16, 2010 and scored a 92. Finally, I took BEC on November 30, 2010 and scored an 82. I was extremely dedicated, studying around 8 hours per day, 7 days a week. I took 2 days off after each exam to recharge my brain and started studying again for my next part.
Thanks to your review products, I felt confident and prepared going into each exam, and walked out of every test knowing I had performed well enough to pass. I know that my dedication to studying played a large role in my success. Yet, Yaeger's "we will teach you what we think you need to know to pass" philosophy made me even more confident in my preparation. For every exam, I felt that a large number of the questions were directly covered by the instructors and the minimum required problems, which were all I did, gave me a very good idea of what the questions would be like on the exams. On REG, one of the more difficult questions Phil covered and said we needed to know ended up being an entire simulation question. I believe that is one of the main reasons I did so well on that exam.
I've been telling all my friends and old professors about your products. I have and will continue to highly recommend them to anyone who has asked me about them. One friend even decided to purchase your audit study program after I told her about it and not passing using Becker twice. I truly believe she will be happy with her results. Once again thank you very much for all your help, I couldn't have done it without you.
Sincerely,
–Vinson Vadakara
On Sept 1, 2010, I started FAR study. My goal was to take the exam at the end of November 2010. I started using the Becker material. I wasn't satisfied. I didn't like the way they present the lessons.
I started shopping around again. I watched several demos online and I liked THE MULTI STEP INCOME STATEMENT PRESENTED BY CINDY. In few minutes, I got the most of it. I made my decision right away. I picked up the phone and I placed my order. I received my material the day after.
I followed exactly what Cindy, Phill and Gary were saying. I didn't have enough time to do more than the minimum MCQs and SIMULATIONS they recommend. I followed the way they want you to approach the questions (CINDY said, read the question first, GARY warned, watch the date of the lease). Anytime, you have a question, e-mail them or call them. Bonni will respond to your e-amail right away. The instructor answers you within 24 hours. Phill will call you personally and go over the problem as if you are in a class room with your professor.
Bottom line — I got an 85!! I am really thankful to YAEGER CPA REVIEW team.
Sincerely,
–Nafatouma Haidara
Hello Bonni,
I just wanted to send a heartfelt "thank you" for the Yaeger CPA Auditing review course. I decided to use Yaeger after failing auditing twice. The course prepared me so well that I finished the exam with two hours to spare, and passed with a score of 91! (This is a 20 point increase from my last auditing score).
Thank you again,
–Tina
Dear Yaeger CPA Review,
I just received the news that I have PASSED the CPA exam!!! This is thanks in no small part to your wonderful CPA Review program.
I had almost memorized another program and yet remained horribly frustrated — unable, it seemed, to pass a single part of the exam even after multiple retakes. And, as a middle-aged mom working full time six days a week, I had neither the funds nor the time to enroll in the Becker course. After doing more research into effective and yet cost-effective study programs, I learned about Yaeger. Hopeful, I enrolled in your program.
I passed every single exam since that day. Together we "got the job done" — within six months, no less!
Please feel free to use my name and testimonial in your promotional materials. YAEGER WORKS!!!
Thanks to all of you, again. Best wishes for a happy holiday season!
–Gena Carter
Bonni -
My summarized story : It took me 3 times to pass BEC and 2 times to pass REG both of which I was using Gleim. I made the change to the Yaeger program for FAR and just received my grade that I passed it on the first try and with the highest grade that I have made on any of them so far.
I think the Yaeger program is wonderful and I will recommend it to anyone I know.
–Lisa Mintel
Dear Bonni, Phil, Cindy, and Gary,
Just wanted to send you a huge thank you for your awesome course! I started studying using your complete homestudy course in September, and I passed all four parts of the exam in the Oct-Nov testing window – AUD 83, BEC 86, FAR 96, REG 90. Your materials were so helpful in getting me to understand the concepts, and I felt extremely confident on test days.
I truly appreciate all the time the instructors spend on preparing for and executing the lectures on video. You guys are really top-notch. (And Phil – keep adding your jokes into your lectures!)
Thanks again – and all the best for a happy holiday season,
–Becky Egan
Dear Yaeger Team
I'm writing to happily inform you that I have passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam! I passed the 1st time! (On the second attempt, you'll see what I mean below) :
FAR 89, AUD 76, REG 92, BEC 79.
It had been 11 years since I last took this extremely difficult exam. (Yes, the paper and pencil exam!)
At that time, I only passed the AUD portion. I didn't condition, so I just walked away from it. I thought I was not meant to ever pass this exam. But by some perhaps divine chance, I decided to go back and give it a second shot. It wasn't an easy decision because of that feeling of failure of not passing it back then hung around my neck. And because, like I said, it had been 11 YEARS since!
But your excellent instructors (Phi
