Reviews emphasize strong, visual-focused course material and instructor-led bootcamps that many candidates say helped them pass or raise scores. Multiple reviewers highlight concise videos, MCQ walkthroughs and live workshops (often naming instructors) as effective for understanding complex topics. Reported weaknesses focus on user interface issues and requests for a dedicated mobile app or smoother navigation between question sets. Several candidates recommended using a supplemental question bank for broader repetition on FAR, indicating the course is often paired with additional practice for that section.

Overall, I highly recommend Universal CPA Review to anyone looking for a comprehensive review course for the CPA Exam. Whether you're new or experienced in accounting, they offer something valuable for everyone with clear organization , visually appealing material right until passing your test .
