Read all Max Pass Guarantee requirements

Your preparation checklist

  • Complete every module in CPA Mentorship and create a study plan with your real exam date.
  • Answer at least 750 distinct practice MCQs for the covered section.
  • Answer at least 300 distinct practice MCQs in the final 30 calendar days, including exam day.
  • Achieve at least 70% accuracy across counted practice answers in that 30-day window. The actual percentage must meet 70%; rounding does not qualify.
  • Complete at least one section mock exam with 70% overall accuracy, including simulations, in the final 14 calendar days, including exam day.

How the activity counts

Requirements must be met by the end of your saved exam day, in Eastern Time (America/New_York). Each distinct practice question counts once. For the recent count and accuracy, we use its first scored answer within the 30-day window. Repeating it does not replace that answer or add another question. Accuracy is calculated across counted answers, not by averaging quiz percentages.

Mock questions do not count toward practice MCQ totals or practice accuracy. Activity must be recorded in Kesler and may include eligible question and mock activity from up to 30 days before joining Max. Work from other providers cannot be substituted. Resetting categories does not create additional distinct-question credit or erase the answer history used for a claim. Activity from different sections is not combined.

Coverage and claims

Take the exam before your 12-month Max anniversary. For example, a membership starting October 6, 2026 covers eligible exams before October 6, 2027. An exam on the anniversary is outside coverage. Rescheduling is allowed; update your saved exam date. Rescheduling or course reactivation does not extend coverage.

The benefit applies to the first qualifying failure for each distinct section while covered. A failure before you join Max does not itself disqualify a later attempt. Up to four approved section benefits, $250 each, $1,000 total.

Email support@keslercpareview.com within 30 days of receiving the failed score. Include your account email, exam section and actual exam date, official failed-score screenshot, and NTS for that exam. A score arriving after coverage ends can support a claim if the exam was inside coverage and you submit on time.

Staff review your documents, dates, recorded preparation and prior benefits. Tracker status or submitting documents does not automatically approve a claim. A membership refund or chargeback ends coverage. Course reactivation neither renews coverage nor replenishes used benefits. This is conditional retake support, not a promise that you will pass or a refund of the course price for failing.

04 / Results + the work behind them

What kind of results
do Kesler users report?

Different starting points. Different study routines. See how candidates used Kesler to move forward.

A sample of 2026 candidate results

One section closer to done.

37 reported section passes
across 23 students

In our September 2026 sample, 23 candidates using Kesler CPA Review reported 37 CPA exam section passes.

Behind a passing section is the work it took to get there: understanding difficult concepts, reviewing mistakes, and making room to study. The stories below show how individual candidates approached that work, using Kesler as their main course or alongside another one.

Sample reviewed September 29, 2026: 50 self-reported section results from 34 students, including 13 failures. The 23 students are those reporting passes. This selected sample is not our total student population or a course-wide pass rate. The testimonials below are separate examples, not identified members of this sample.

Find a story like yours.

Kesler only · Working parent

FAR + AUD. Both on his first try.

“I am officially 2/4 with FAR and AUD both done on their first tries.”

“It’s the only service I have ever used for CPA review and without a doubt the only thing I will need to finish my final two.”

Evan
Kesler Member
More from this story

Evan reported passing FAR and AUD while working full time and raising two small children. He praised the textbook, MCQ and simulation practice, and described the course’s game features as:

“super fun gamification elements like leveling up and xp that make studying very fun.”

Kesler only · First REG attempt

REG: 84 on her first try.

“Yes this was the first try for REG, I scored an 84”

Ashley (PeachyAsh)
Kesler Member

When Bryan asked whether she was only using Kesler:

“Yes I am only using Kesler”

Final review · Becker + Kesler

A mock became his final-review map.

“With my results from the Becker, I referred to the Kesler textbook on weak areas AND areas which I thought I was confident in.”

Steven
Kesler Member
More from this story

What he changed: After Kesler’s final-review mentorship video, Steven scheduled a Becker simulated exam and used the results to guide textbook review. He reported passing FAR.

REG passed · Study Loops

Three down. One to go.

“I passed!! 3 down, one to go. I'm coming for that t-shirt!”

Nguyenian
Kesler Member
More from this story

Nguyenian described starting with quizzes, reading the material and flashcards, then using Study Loops to revisit weak areas and understand mistakes.

“This helped me figure out which areas I struggled with the most as well as why I got them wrong.”

Retaking AUD · Supplementing

62 → 69 → 79 in AUD

“Went from 62 to 69 to 79! I truly feel like supplementing with Kesler helped me get over the hump.”

Jessica
Kesler Member
More from this story

“I felt like reading over the whys and gems helped me to understand the concepts better because the explanations are to the point and easy to understand.”

Retaking FAR · Becker + Kesler

FAR: 79 after eight attempts

“After 8 attempts, I passed FAR with a 79!”

Bryce W.
Kesler Member
More from this story

“I used both Becker and Kesler CPA Review, and I went heavy on the Kesler side this time around - constantly reviewing my custom flashcards (I had accumulated around 270 of them), reviewing each questions’ “gem,” and circling back to Becker for more diversification with practice MCQs and sims.”

Full-time work + family · Supplementing

All four passed. Around a full life.

“I HAVE PASSED ALL 4 PARTS OF THE CPA EXAM!!”

Julie Purscell
Kesler Member
More from this story

“Try to stick as close to your study schedule as you can but don’t get down if you have to adjust it.”

How she made room: Julie reported working full time with four children and seven grandchildren. She used Kesler questions and cards when she could, alongside Becker, and adjusted her schedule when life needed it.

Returning to the exam · Working

A routine she could return to.

“With more study time, Bryan's mentorship, his recommendations of accountability partners, and looping, is what sealed the deal to help me pass these exams.”

Kathy Kosar
Kesler Member
More from this story

What changed: A job with more flexible hours created study time. Mentorship, accountability partners and looping supported her return. She reported passing all four sections, including one that took four tries.

Returning after a failed section

Finding direction after a break.

“I took a 2 year sabbatical from the CPA exam after failing a section from a lack of confidence and direction.”

Kayla Bradley
Kesler Member
More from this story

“The support, community, and direction that came with entrusting Bryan and his team was above and beyond what I thought I was signing up.”

What helped her return: Support, community and direction. This story describes her study experience; it does not report a passing score.

Persisting through FAR retakes

FAR: a reported 84.

“I PASSED FAR WITH AN 84!!! You have no idea what an accomplishment this is for me!”

Emma Jean
Kesler Member
More from this story

Her starting point: Emma described years of repeated FAR attempts and credited Kesler’s study methods in her account of finally passing.

Selected, self-reported experiences. Individual results vary; some candidates used other courses alongside Kesler. These stories do not establish results for the Max plan, its Pass Guarantee, or every current feature.

A closer look at successful retakes

A failed attempt.
Then a passing score.

+16.6 points on average

Five students. Five reported retake passes.

These five students reported an earlier failing score after preparing with another course, then a passing score after adding Kesler. Their reported increases ranged from 4 to 28 points.

For a personal account of changing a study routine, read Jessica’s AUD story or Bryce’s FAR story in the Retake filter above. Those testimonials are separate from this research group.

Selected successful retakes; self-reported. Unsuccessful retakes are excluded. This is not an expected improvement or evidence that Kesler caused it.

05 / Before you enroll

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Which plan should I choose?

Monthly keeps the upfront commitment lower and can suit a shorter period of study or focused review. Complete gives you one payment and access until you pass, subject to the access terms. Max adds on-demand printed materials, more AI help for your first 12 months, the Study Tips eBook, and conditional retake support.

Twelve Monthly payments total $924; thirteen total $1,001, compared with Complete at $997. These are spending examples, not predicted study times. If you won't use the added print and support, Complete may be the better fit.

Kesler is self-paced. Candidates who want a scheduled live classroom may prefer a different format.

Can I use Kesler as my main course or as a supplement?

Yes. Every plan includes the complete digital CPA review course. Start with CPA Mentorship and a study plan, then work through lessons, practice, and review.

If you already own another course, use the Topic Plan to find Kesler resources alongside available course topic references. Topic groupings may differ. You can keep your main course's plan and add explanations or practice where you need them.

See how the Kesler study system works.

Which sections are included, and how long do I have access?

Your digital course covers FAR, AUD, REG, BAR, ISC, and TCP. Candidates prepare for the three Core sections and one selected Discipline. Study one section at a time, with up to two section switches every 30 days.

Monthly access lasts while your paid subscription is active. Complete and Max include access until you pass. After 12 months from joining, one-time accounts deactivate; email support with an active Notice to Schedule (NTS) to reactivate at no additional charge.

Reactivation does not restart Max's separate 12-month AI term or Pass Guarantee coverage, or replenish used benefits.

How do I redeem Print Credit?

Choose your materials by exam section in your account, confirm your shipping details, and redeem when ready. Nothing ships automatically. At the current member redemption prices, textbooks use $120 in credit and Study Notes use $60. Max’s $720 covers four textbooks and four Study Notes. Complete includes $60 on purchase.

Monthly’s one-time $60 bonus unlocks after your initial payment and two successful consecutive monthly renewals. It is not $20 earned each month. Unused promotional reward credit is revoked upon qualifying interruptions, including cancellation, pause, failed payment or refund. Separately purchased credit follows its own rules and is not revoked simply because membership ends.

Shipping and tax are included for supported destinations; check availability and delivery estimates at redemption. Promotional credit is for eligible materials, not cash. Materials are printed to order; ordinary change-of-mind returns are not available once production starts, subject to applicable rights. Contact support promptly about corrections, damage or printing defects.

What does “unlimited” Ask Kes mean?

Max includes unlimited Ask Kes for the first 12 calendar months from your original Max purchase. During that time, there’s no daily or monthly question cap for your own studying. Ask questions, request simpler explanations and keep asking follow-ups. Long study sessions and final-review cramming are welcome.

Monthly and Complete include Limited Usage. Technical answers explain CPA exam concepts and questions. Coaching answers help with study planning and guidance. The limits below are alternative ways to use one shared allowance, not separate allowances you can add together.

Monthly and Complete: included Ask Kes allowance
Answer typePer rolling
24 hours
Per calendar
month
Technical CPA answers15300
Coaching / study guidance1503,000

One technical answer uses the same capacity as 10 coaching answers. For example, 10 technical answers plus 50 coaching answers use your full 24-hour allowance. Your allowance is shared across all courses and conversations.

The 24-hour allowance frees up as each answer becomes more than 24 hours old. Monthly usage resets on the first of each month at midnight UTC. Short-term limits also apply during rapid back-to-back use.

After Max’s first 12 months: Ask Kes returns to the standard paid allowance above while you have active paid course access, unless you have a separate eligible Accounting Copilot subscription. Renewing your course access with an active NTS does not restart the unlimited AI term.

Unlimited is for one person’s own studying. Use your own account and send questions yourself. Account sharing, bots, scripts, bulk submissions, scraping, reselling answers and running a service for others are not allowed.

Max’s fair-use protections allow up to 10 submissions per rolling minute and one request generating an answer at a time. Very rapid requests may require a brief wait, with a clear explanation. High question volume from a real student may be reviewed if needed, but volume alone does not establish abuse.

Ask Kes provides concept explanations and follow-up help. See a real example. Expert Email Support is separate and included in every paid plan. Check AI answers against your course material; AI can make mistakes.

Does every plan include the Pass Guarantee?

Only Max includes the conditional Max Pass Guarantee. Monthly and Complete do not include it. A qualifying first failure can receive $250 toward a retake, once per distinct section, up to four sections and $1,000 total.

The exam must occur before your 12-month Max anniversary, and preparation and claim requirements apply. Read the full requirements. Big Day Ready tracks preparation targets; meeting them does not guarantee an exam pass or automatically approve a claim.

The current offer does not include a Complete-to-Max Pass Guarantee upgrade path. If this benefit matters to you, choose Max at purchase and review the requirements.

How does the 30-day membership refund work?

First-time customers can request a membership refund within 30 days of their initial purchase, with no study or minimum-usage requirement. Email support@keslercpareview.com using your account email and order details. Monthly renewals and returning purchases do not restart the window.

Redeemed promotional Print Credit reduces your eligible refund. For example, $1,297 paid for Max minus $120 of its promotional credit redeemed leaves $1,177, assuming no prior refunds. Separately purchased top-up credit is excluded from that deduction and follows its own terms.

A Max refund ends course access and guarantee coverage and removes unused promotional credit. Printed-material policies are separate. Review the refund policy and checkout terms before purchasing.

Can I cancel Monthly or change plans later?

Monthly renews until you cancel. Cancel before your next renewal; contact support if you need help confirming the effective date. Your course access follows your active paid subscription.

Monthly buys flexibility. Your payments cover access during each paid month; they do not build toward owning Complete or Max.

If you have an active Monthly membership and move to Complete or Max, we will credit your full current billing month’s payment toward that one-time purchase. Earlier monthly payments are not credited.

Contact support@keslercpareview.com before purchasing so we can arrange the credit and help you change plans on the same account. Do not assume the credit will appear automatically at checkout.

If you choose Max, standard Max Pass Guarantee coverage starts on your Max purchase date and lasts 12 calendar months. The preparation, exam-date and claim requirements still apply. Monthly itself does not include the guarantee.

Is the 221 Study Tips eBook included?

Max includes the 221 CPA Exam Study Tips eBook, normally $27. It is an optional $27 checkout add-on with Monthly and Complete.

How do payment and account access work?

Choose your plan and review the total and any optional additions on the secure checkout. Available payment and financing options, eligibility, and provider terms are shown there. Complete and Max are one-time memberships; any financing repayments follow your provider's agreement.

Follow the account-access instructions after purchase. Already have a Kesler account? Use the same email at checkout so the purchase can be associated with your account.

If your employer is paying, get reimbursement approval before purchasing. See the employer approval guide.
