I recently sat in on a zoom conference for Faculty Advisors for TXCPA students. The demonstration was from Univ or North Texas. They demonstrated the mechanics of taking the CPA exam, how to qualify, parts of the exam, preparation, etc. My response was this is Phase Two, you missed Phase One, Phase One is MOTIVATION. IF you are not motivated, all the information in the world on the mechanics of test taking is worthless.
So we start with motivation
