Introducing Kesler CPA Review 2.0: A Connected CPA Study Workspace
PRODUCT UPDATE · JULY 2026

INTRODUCING KESLER CPA REVIEW 2.0

Kesler CPA Review 2.0 connects lesson notes and lectures, audio, focused quizzes, learning evidence, flashcards, and unresolved notes so your next study action is easier to define.

The update is not a seven-item checklist. Start with the problem in front of you, then use the tool that addresses it.

Disclosure: This announcement is written by Kesler CPA Review about our own product. The screenshots and workflows below are first-party product evidence, not an independent review. Displayed counts and recommendations can vary by account, lesson, course, and available study evidence.

START WITH YOUR CURRENT STUDY PROBLEM

I NEED THE BIG PICTURE

Open Kesler Notes & Lectures, then choose the textbook or Audio Notes when you need a different level of detail.

I NEED A FOCUSED PRACTICE BLOCK

Choose the Quiz Builder topics and workload, then configure the Focus Timer before the first question.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO REVIEW

Read Progress Center evidence, open ReadySignal, or build a weakness-focused KeslerCards deck.

I HAVE UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS

Use Focus Notes to group open questions by source and course topic, research them, and preserve the cleared history.

SEVEN CONNECTED STUDY TOOLS

1. BUILD A QUIZ WITH THE TIMER ALREADY SET

Select Kesler topics or AICPA Blueprint areas, choose a preset or custom question count, and define the session goal, study time, and break before beginning.

  • See available, unattempted, and confidence-based counts.
  • Confirm the quiz size and timer together.
  • Use supported MCQ activity to connect completed work to the active timer.

Read the detailed Quiz Builder forum update.

2. START A LESSON WITH NOTES AND A BITE-SIZED LECTURE

Supported lessons let you move among the textbook, 210 study notes, 913 Bite-Sized Lectures with 85+ hours of lecture time, and 210 Audio Notes. These are options, not a required sequence.

Begin with the main idea, watch the section explanation when useful, open the textbook for depth, and finish with Quiz or Cards when you are ready to retrieve the concept.

Read the Notes & Lectures forum update.

Notes and lecture availability varies by supported lesson and course.

3. STUDY A CHAPTER WITH AUDIO NOTES

Play a full chapter or one track, adjust playback speed, rewind, skip forward, and follow the synchronized transcript. The global player lets you continue listening after leaving the lesson.

Audio works best as preview or reinforcement. Follow it with retrieval practice rather than treating listening as proof that the topic is learned.

Read the Audio Notes forum update.

4. BUILD AND SAVE AN AUDIO REVIEW PLAYLIST

Search the Audio Library, add a chapter or individual tracks, arrange the queue, name it, and save it for later. When enough mapped test-bank evidence exists, Build My Review Playlist can provide a targeted starting point.

You can still add, remove, reorder, and rename the suggested tracks before saving.

Read the Audio Playlists forum update.

Recommendations depend on available Audio Notes and sufficient mapped study evidence.

5. TURN RETAKE WORK INTO A RECOVERY PLAN

Progress Center separates retake baseline, durable repair, and blueprint coverage. Evidence-strength labels help distinguish a meaningful pattern from a percentage based on too little work.

The 12-week chart separates fresh learning from retained learning. A delayed repeat appears after a gap of eight days or longer.

These percentages are study-planning evidence, not predicted CPA Exam scores. Read the evidence strength and summary before deciding what to review.

Read the Progress Center forum update.

6. BUILD A KESLERCARDS DECK AROUND WEAK TOPICS

Build My Weakness Deck creates a 50-card deck weighted toward weaker mapped topics when enough accuracy, confidence, coverage, and card evidence exists.

You can also manually choose Kesler or AICPA Blueprint topics, card types, deck size, confidence filters, Loop Mode, shuffle, and Focus Timer settings. Kesler includes 8,000+ flashcards.

7. TURN FOCUS NOTES INTO A RESEARCH WORKFLOW

Focus Notes now separates outstanding and cleared notes, identifies the course topic with the most unresolved notes, and groups mapped notes by Kesler topic or AICPA Blueprint area.

Filter by Quiz, Lesson, TBS, Mentor, or General source. Clearing a note preserves it in your history so you can reopen it later.

TWO VISUAL LECTURE FORMATS, TWO DIFFERENT MOMENTS

BITE-SIZED LECTURES BUILD THE LESSON MAP

They live inside supported lessons and explain a section before or during concept study. Learn N GO is different: it provides 8,000+ question-specific lectures—one for each MCQ—after practice.

If the lesson itself is unclear, start with notes or a Bite-Sized Lecture. If an answer choice or calculation is unclear after an MCQ, open Learn N GO.

Availability: all seven updated tools can be tried during the free trial, and paid memberships include full feature access. Notes, lectures, and audio vary by supported lesson and course. Personalized playlists, ReadySignal priorities, and weakness decks require sufficient mapped study activity.
