CPA Exam Tip of the Day

Today's tip is a simple one, so simple that you might have overlooked this simple trick for remembering difficult concepts:

Post-it notes!

Use sticky notes to plaster your scenery with mnemonics, formulas or terminology that you're having a hard time remembering. Put them on your steering wheel, computer monitor, bathroom mirror and anywhere else you'll see them and swap out notes every few days with new concepts to keep things fresh. It's like flashcards but easier!
