Talk:How can I study for the CPA without a firm to purchase study materials?

I would like more tips on how to get free prep materials in the manner indicated on this page. I tried, and it did not work. Granted, I was not a doctoral student, but I contacted several (3) of the prep course companies, and was turned down by all three.They all told me to get back to them when I was a professor. Also, what doctoral student has time to be studying for the CPA?--Jlamro 21:35, 28 July 2008 (MDT)

As for having time as a doctoral student, you don't, but if it is important to you, you somehow make the time. I think it whether you can swing a deal depends on who the rep is and your relationship with them. It worked for me and one other doctoral student I know, but we may be the acception rather than the rule. Daw44 08:20, 29 July 2008 (MDT)

I just added a lot more materials here. Some of it is kind of racey. However, I am just trying to provide what information I know, so, let me know what you think.--Jlamro 21:50, 28 July 2008 (MDT)

I think we should remove the ideas that are explicitly contrary to the contract with Becker and other similar types of agreements. According to the terms of these programs it is illegal to re-sell the books. I don't think we want to advocate breaking the law. Daw44 08:20, 29 July 2008 (MDT)
