PRODUCT UPDATE | AUGUST 2026

WHAT'S NEW IN KESLER CPA REVIEW

Kesler CPA Review is a complete CPA review course you can use on its own. If you already have another course, you can also use Kesler to supplement it.

The course now includes 913 Bite-Sized Video Lessons for topic-level teaching and 8,000+ Learn N GO MCQ Explanations for question-specific follow-up. They are two different video libraries built for two different moments in a study session.

WHAT MAKES IT A COMPLETE CPA REVIEW COURSE

Both paid memberships include Digital Textbook content, 210 Study Notes, 913 Bite-Sized Video Lessons, Audio Notes, 8,000+ MCQs with a Learn N GO MCQ Explanation for each question, 275+ task-based simulations, flashcards, planning tools, Self-Study Mentorship, the Kesler Community, and Expert Email Support.

Six Printed Textbooks are available as optional paid add-ons, one for each available CPA exam section. You select the four that match your exam path: FAR, AUD, REG, and one Discipline.

Accounting firms can sponsor the complete course for their candidates. Firm-sponsored candidates receive four Printed Textbooks: FAR, AUD, REG, and their selected Discipline. See the accounting firm partnership program.

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, define what the session should prove, and begin with a bounded question set.

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. START WITH THE DIGITAL TEXTBOOK OR STUDY NOTES

Use the included Digital Textbook content when you want the full explanation. Use the 210 condensed Study Notes to identify the key rule, terms, and sequence before deciding where you need more depth.

Once the lesson map is clear, move to the matching Bite-Sized Video Lesson for a visual explanation of the topic.

Read the Notes & Lectures forum update.

Every lesson includes a matching Study Note, Bite-Sized Video Lesson, and Audio Note. The Study Note provides the condensed lesson map before you move into visual explanation or retrieval practice.

2. WATCH A BITE-SIZED VIDEO LESSON

The Bite-Sized Video Lesson teaches from the Study Notes, adding whiteboard visuals and narration to show how the rules, relationships, and calculations fit together.

After the lesson, close it and quiz yourself with MCQs or KeslerCards. The notes and video lesson build the mental map; retrieval practice checks whether you can use it.

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.

The active track and transcript remain tied to the source lesson.

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.

Percentages, dates, topics, and evidence strength reflect the example account's activity.

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.

Read the KeslerCards forum update.

Weakness-deck availability depends on mapped quiz evidence and available cards.

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 VIDEO LIBRARIES, TWO DIFFERENT MOMENTS

Bite-Sized Video Lessons BUILD THE LESSON MAP

They are available in every course lesson and explain a topic before or during concept study. Learn N GO is different: it provides 8,000+ question-specific MCQ explanations, with one for each MCQ after practice.

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

Watch a topic-level Bite-Sized Video Lesson sample. These lessons teach from the Study Notes and are distinct from the Learn N GO MCQ Explanations used after individual MCQs.

LEARN N GO MCQ EXPLANATIONS ADDRESS THE QUESTION YOU JUST ATTEMPTED

Learn N GO appears after an MCQ and walks through the specific rule, calculation or classification, answer choices, and reusable exam pattern connected to that question.

Use it when the question exposes a gap that the written answer explanation does not resolve. Then return to practice and check whether you can apply the idea yourself.

Watch a question-specific Learn N GO sample. Kesler includes 8,000+ Learn N GO MCQ Explanations, one for each MCQ in the test bank.
Access: the Free Trial is a limited preview of current features with a paywall inside the trial. Both paid memberships include the complete digital course, and every lesson includes a matching Study Note, Audio Note, and Bite-Sized Video Lesson. Personalized playlists, ReadySignal priorities, and weakness decks require sufficient mapped study activity.
