      Participant testimonial

      The KPMG in India’s live classes played a crucial role in my preparation. These sessions helped me learn new concepts and, more importantly, strengthened my understanding of existing ones. The interactive nature of the classes also helped clarify my doubts instantly and kept me consistent with my study schedule.

      Gleim content was the most helpful component of my exam preparation. I practiced the MCQs and SIM bank multiple times, which significantly strengthened my conceptual clarity. Additionally, the interface and background of the questions closely matched the actual exam format, which made me feel comfortable and confident during the exam.

      One of the most valuable aspects of the program was the PPTs. Topics that were difficult to understand from textbooks became much clearer through these PPTs, as they explained concepts in simple words and structured formats.

      The mentor–mentee sessions were extremely motivating and encouraging. These sessions helped me identify where I was lacking, what I needed to improve, and how to plan my preparation more effectively.

      Overall, the combination of live classes, structured study material, continuous practice, and personalised mentoring made a significant difference in my preparation and contributed directly to my success in the REG exam. I would highly recommend this program to anyone preparing for the CPA exams.
