Sims will improve when your basic concepts improve. Sims have a way of exposing weakness in basic concepts.

The more you rely on Becker for basic concepts, the worse you will do on the sims because Becker often asks you to memorize at the exact moment that you need to learn something.

On the exam, each sim is worth 10 points but you don’t need all 10 points to pass. No one gets 9 and very few get 8. You just can’t get zero or 1 point.

The secret to passing is to average 4-7 points per sim, and how do you do that? By having a good understanding of basic concepts.

Fortunately, i75 is designed perfectly for that.

The i75 CPA Review Course is based around what is on the AICPA blueprints.

The course is updated now for 2026.

You do NOT need to cancel and sign up again.

If you purchase the monthly subscription for one part, hit us up when you take that exam and we will immediately transfer you to another part.

No, because this is a one-time payment not a recurring subscription this will not renew, therefore nothing needs to be cancelled.

The Cram Course contains all of what the Full Course includes except for the multiple choice practice tests, if you need the multiple choice practice tests get the Full Course.

If Your Test is Within the next 2 Weeks, Buy the Cram Course, otherwise get the complete course.

No you will not, the Complete Course should be all you need to pass any individual part, however if you already have Becker, UWorld, etc. feel free to use it for mock exams when your test gets closer.

Hesitant to sign up for a renewing subscription?

We are all hesitant to sign up for a monthly subscription, but not to worry here at i75 we make cancelling very easy, simply reach out to us thru email, Facebook messenger, or LinkedIn and we will cancel for you making it trouble free!

Yes, i75 is fully up to date and continuously updating to accomadate for all future exam changes.

Most CPA candidates should expect to study approximately 300–400 total hours for all four sections of the CPA Exam.

A reasonable estimate is:

• FAR: 100–120 hours
• AUD: 80–100 hours
• REG: 80–100 hours
• Discipline (BAR, ISC, or TCP): 60–100 hours

At 15–20 hours per week, many candidates can prepare for one section in roughly 4–8 weeks.

Candidates with a strong background in a particular subject may need less time, while candidates who have been out of school for several years may need more.

The key is not simply the number of hours studied. Consistent, focused study that includes practice MCQs and task-based simulations is more important than accumulating study hours.

Generally, no. The IRS specifically addresses CPA review courses and says:

“Review courses to prepare for the … certified public accountant (CPA) examination aren’t qualifying work-related education.”

The rationale is that CPA review is considered part of a program that can qualify the individual for a new profession, even if the person is already working as an accountant.

Therefore, the CPA review course fee is not deductible as a work-related education/business expense. See IRS Publication 970.

This is a useful distinction for CPA REG:

• CPA review course: Not deductible as work-related education.
• CPA continuing professional education (CPE) after becoming a CPA: Generally deductible when it maintains or improves skills in the taxpayer’s existing trade or business and the taxpayer otherwise qualifies to deduct business education expenses. See IRS guidance on work-related education expenses.

So, for example, Becker, UWorld, i75, Gleim, etc. purchased to prepare for the CPA Exam would not qualify as deductible work-related education merely because the candidate is already employed as an accountant.

Yes. Exams scheduled and completed before the July 1, 2027 blackout are unaffected by any of the platform changes. This is exactly why finishing before the blackout is the cleanest path if your timeline allows it — see our 2027 CPA Exam platform changes guide for the full breakdown.

The AICPA hasn’t published blackout-specific NTS guidance as of this writing. If your NTS window overlaps July 1–11, 2027, confirm directly with NASBA whether an extension applies to your jurisdiction. See our 2027 CPA Exam platform changes guide for everything else changing that summer.

The AICPA’s announcement doesn’t distinguish by testing location, so the blackout and new platform should apply everywhere the CPA Exam is delivered through Prometric — but international candidates should confirm with their specific jurisdiction’s board of accountancy. See our 2027 CPA Exam platform changes guide for the full timeline.
