Josh Hedge, Billings, Montana

Thanks for your review course. I passed all four parts last July and August with my lowest score being 89...I know, I over-studied! I would vouch for your program any day, and I have been recommending your program to potential CPA exam candidates.

Emily Holtzman, Columbus

I am excited to announce that I have passed all four parts of the CPA Exam on my first try, with scores of 77, 79, 86, and 79. I want to take the time to thank you for all your help in preparing me for the exam. Your review course truly was a tremendous help and I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to pass without it.
Thanks again!

Reema Argawal, Rolls Royce, Columbus

Steve, I passed my Regulation exam. I scored 82 this time. I am done with all 4 parts. I am really happy all thanks to you and the MDS classes. It would not have been possible without your guidance and support. I really appreciate all the help and feedback you gave me for this last exam. I was really tense while taking the exam since I did not pass it the first time. But you really helped me by answering all my questions. Thank you so much. Again, thank you so much Steve. I really appreciate all you did to motivate me and guide me through this journey. Thanks again!

Michael O'Hearn, Columbus

I just wanted to let you know I passed my final part BEC and now have successful passed all four parts on the first try. Your review classes were very beneficial to my achieving this accomplishment. I wanted to thank you for all your help and will always recommend your review class to anyone interested in taking a review class.

Christopher G. Hartsel, Schneider Downs & Co., Inc. Columbus

77 for BEC. I know the score isn’t that great, but, I studied for little over a week. Your materials were dead on for the BEC portion. My friends who studied with Becker for like two months did not pass. I think Becker throws WAAAAY too much in there. With an 82 on Financial, I am finished. Thanks for all your help. Your materials were great. Also, the ability to contact someone and have a response within a day (in my experience, minutes) is the biggest help with studying. When I tell Becker-buyers about how you respond, I receive a look of shock and awe. I have full confidence in recommending the MDS system to all I know.

Nami Saito, Dayton

It took me almost 2 years and half, but I got my last BEC score [for the second time because the first time it passed expired in May 09] an hour ago and passed!I think I am the last one who passed all sessions in the class of 2007. I am so happy that I don’t need to study for the exam.Thank you so much for the great studying materials. They are comprehensive and well summarized.Although my study CD-ROM was expired this year, I read through the textbook and did flash cards until the last minutes of the exam.

Bethany Serrott, Columbus

I just found out I passed my last section of the exam! I cannot thank you enough for your instruction, help, and prompt response over this entire process. MDS CPA Review is amazing! With your program and your support I was able to pass all four parts on the first attempt, and in 5 short months to boot! Thank you for always giving a kind, detailed response to my never-ending questions, regardless of how silly some tended to be. I referred my brother and cousin to your program because it truly is the best. I saw all my fellow CPA candidates struggle through their Becker and Gleim materials...and fail multiple times. I cannot thank you enough for publishing such a great review course and for providing amazing customer service. Thank you a million times.

Bob Siddall,Columbus

Thanks to Steve Martin I was able to pass each part on the first try within a six month period, as recommended during the initial information session. The Study Buddy multiple choice questions were focused and on point. The in-class sessions with a live instructor were insightful and the main reason I chose this course over others. Finally, Steve's prompt responses to my numerous E-mail questions helped me to proceed in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend MDS to anyone taking the CPA exam.

Chris Matuska, Columbus

I found out I passed the final section of the CPA Exam late Friday night. I viewed your on-line OSCPA Ethics course over the weekend (very nice) and passed the related CPE quiz. I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to you and your team for helping me achieve this important milestone in my life. I plan to continue recommending your course highly to other prospective candidates.

Jacqueline Fox, Brown & Brown

I passed all four sections of the CPA exam in just under a year and there is no way I could have done that without MDS! The exam seems so overwhelming, but you told us exactly what to do to pass, and you were right. The amount and variety of study materials available were great. The flashcards were really helpful & so were the explanations given for each answer to the multiple choice questions. I read all the explanations, even when I answered correctly, which really reinforced the concepts. Also, when I had to miss a class because I was traveling for work, I was so relieved I was able to buy the DVD so I wouldn't have to miss out on hearing you review the material. Thanks again!

Ben Dippel, Nationwide, Columus

I wanted to let you know that I just received my letter from NASBA congratulating me on passing all four sections of the exam. It's DONE! I appreciate the time and effort you've put into your review course and material as I am confident that I wouldn't have passed this quickly without it. I was able to complete Audit and BEC on my first attempt and was able to pass FAR and REG on my second attempt. When I began, I honestly didn't think I'd be able to pass all four sections in less than a year but 10 months later it's done. Thanks again, I'll be sure to continue to recommend prospective CPA's to your review cours.

Scott Shapiro, Limited Brands, Columus

I just want to let you know that I passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam on the first try, thanks to the MDS review material. I took it one part at a time, completing all of the practice problems for one class and reviewing the explanations before moving on to the next section / class. This provided me with a thorough understanding of the material while gaining the confidence needed preparing for the exam. It was a lot of work and time spent studying (but not time wasted) since the material focused on in the review was also the focus on the exams. The best testimonial about MDS – I have recommended MDS to several co-workers who are looking to get their CPA.

Stephen Behnke, Deloitte, OSU, Columus

I waned to let you know that I passed all four parts of the CPA exam on the first try. So I want to first thank you for your help throughout all of the exams and for helping me with all of the questions I asked. I have already recommended your course to others. I'm just so happy it's over with. Also, I wanted to ask you about the other requirements to become a CPA. And from what I can see the other big part is the ethics course, which appears to be either on-line or CD, but I thought you did live classes for that one too so I wanted to ask you about that.

Leah Shapiro, OSU Law school

MDS CPA Review was an extremely worthwhile investment. The format of the class videos, combined with the abundance of review questions, enabled me to efficiently and effectively study for the exam. By following the suggested preparation techniques, the seemingly infinite topics covered on the exam grew less and less overwhelming. While taking the actual exam, my nerves subsided with the realization that I had seen all of the material many times before. Through the help of MDS, I passed the entire exam on the first try in a span of four weeks: AUD (97), BEC (85), FAR (89), REG (91). Thank you!

Justin Linscott, Holbrook & Manter, CPAs, Ohio Weslyan Universuty

I wanted to write to you letting you know that I got my results for my last exam today. I am finally done! I wanted to thank you so much for all of your help and support with this endeavor. The study materials were very effective and efficient and I am extremely pleased with my average score of 88.

Angelique Johnson, inVentiv Communications, Inc., Washington State Univ. MAcc

As a working mother at a public company my time is scarce resource. By following the studying techniques and plan outlined in the MDS review I was able to pass each part of the exam the first time after each course with the most effective use of my time.

Ryan Betka, Nebtaska, Omaha

Thank you so much for providing such great CPA review materials. They were comprehensive, but focused, which allowed me to make the most of my study time. I also appreciated your responsiveness to my questions throughout the process. I could not be more pleased with the results. I passed all four parts on the first attempt with scores of 94, 94, 98, and 99. Thanks again.

Kerri Miller, Capital University, Nesser Consulting

Professor Martin:
I found out yesterday that I passed BEC with a 90, which means that I have completed all four parts of the CPA Exam. The wording of a few variance problems threw me off, but I had practiced enough homework to allow me to reason my way through them. I averaged an 88 over all four parts. I did everything we talked about in class and took one exam at a time. Thank you for all of your assistance during this process. Best Regards

Niluka Silva, Haran Watson & Co.

Steve, it was a dream come true, the day I passed my CPA exam, all because of MDS CPA Review Course. I found the best coaches and best study materials to pass the exam with minimum stress and effort. Those materials were designed to the point and covered very complex theories in a very simple manner. The prompt response from the coaches for any question was very encouraging and helpful to pass the exam. With MDS I had confidence that I would pass the exam. I recommend MDS CPA Review Course to everyone.

Josh Wilking, HCDC, Cincinnati, Franklin University

I got my REG score this morning. It was my lowest score of all the sections, an 86. The course was so great. Having all the materials made my job much easier than I thought it would be. You guys laid out what I needed to do. You said “if you do this, you will pass”, and you were right. Having different sets of homework that go over the same concepts was great for me, personally. The Becker course has you redo the same set of homework, and I tend to cheat the question after I’ve seen it a couple of times. I’ll know the answer by letter because I’ve already done it, but not really how to work the problem out. Having different questions on the same topics really made me get the concepts down. Towards the end, I was trusting the system. But, at the beginning, I was getting really down on myself after going through the first set of homework and getting in the 60’s. But I did better on each round of homework, and was usually getting in the 90’s by the third set. Reading the explanations to all of the answers, even the wrong ones really helped drill the concepts in, because it made me understand not only why the correct answer was what it was, but why the wrong answers were wrong.

Amy White, Ohio State Auditor, Capital University

Hi Steve, I passed the financial section of the exam!!! I am done!!!! The reward of passing all four parts far outweighs the amount of work required. I am so excited right now I have forgotten all those hours spent at the library.

Kevin Jankowski, MacDonalds, Kent State University

I wanted to first say thanks for such a great course. With your help from this course, I passed all the tests on the first try! The lowest I received was an 81, so it's not like I barely snuck by either. Again, thanks for helping with the preparation and everything else.

Marlena Casebolt, Nationwide Insurance

I have been out of school for many years. I definitely needed help refreshing my memory. At least three co-workers recommended MDS CPA Review. The in-class lectures, homework and practice tests help prepare a candidate for the CPA exam. It is a lot of work but it is worth it. I highly recommend MDS CPA Review to any one considering the CPA designation.

Wilma D'Souza, Pittsburg State University

When choosing a CPA Review course a classroom setting was most important to me in addition to the cost. MDS CPA Review offered the perfect package at the most affordable price. The review course work is very focused and thorough, touching on all challenges that one can encounter on the CPA exam. Many questions on my actual exam were directly out of the database of questions that MDS offers. I followed all guidelines that Steve provided and made sure to review all the coursework provided. Steve is an excellent instructor and a very prompt individual, clarifying all doubts promptly and making the effort to search for answers that he does not have right then. It feels wonderful to join the rank of successful CPA candidates and to pass the exam at the first shot. It definitely took a lot of hard work and dedication. Thank you MDS for helping me succeed. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.

Eric Kirkhofer, UC Berkeley

The MDS CPA review class proved extremely valuable as I geared up for the CPA Exam. I passed each section the first time I took it, and felt I was well prepared for every section. The approach the instructors take is to target the high probability subjects based on their extensive experience with the CPA Exam. The advice to take the class and take the exam quickly is some of the best advice given. Overall the MDS CPA Review Course is an excellent program and I would highly recommend it to anyone preparing to take the CPA Exam.

Adam Hirsch, Crowe Chizek, Miami University

I just wanted to let you all know that I received my Regulation score last week, and with those results, I have passed all four sections of the exam! I wanted to thank you all for your time in class as well as your quick and helpful responses to my questions through email. It was always nice knowing that when I wrote each one of you with a question I knew I would get a quick response greatly helping the efficiency of my studying. I am very thankful that my co-workers recommended your program, and I will surely recommend it to anyone who wants to pass the exam!

Sara Synek, Warner & Harper CPAs, Ohio State Univ.

MDS is the way to go! I couldn't have asked for a better course to prepare me for the CPA exam. I was able to pass all four parts of the exam on my first try with the help of MDS self-study. The text is brilliantly easy-to-follow utilizing an organized outline format; the flashcards are convenient and comprehensive; and the Study Buddy questions contained on the CD are so abundant that every possible topic is covered. I particularly like how an incorrect answer to a question explains in detail why it was the wrong choice. Thank you MDS!

Patric J. Hinker, Thorn, Lewis & Duncan, Inc. Univ. of Dayton

I wanted to let you know that I passed my final part of the CPA Exam. I scored an 82 on AUD. I’m finally done with the hard part. I should have taken your classes two years ago and saved a lot of time and money.

Jeremie Schultz, Huntington Bank, Franklin University

Steve Martin and his team were great! They provided me with the tools and support I needed to get me through each of the exams.

Rusty Jackson, Deloitte, OSU

Seven Reasons I Would Recommend MDS CPA Review

They are cost effective. (We are, after all, accountants.)
Their materials are easy to use.
The customer support is unparalleled. (Steve Martin answers e-mails the same day.)
When I answered all of the review questions for a section, I passed. (Every time. Period.)
When I didn’t answer all the questions, I didn’t pass. (They don’t make your waste time.)
They offer their courses in a classroom setting in central Ohio or for self-study nationwide. (Not everyone learns in the same manner.)
When they say “you may return the materials within two weeks for a full refund - no questions asked,” they mean it. (The truth is that people are so satisfied that it rarely happens.)

Gayle Ellerbrock, McDonald's Corporation, Capital university

MDS CPA Review is the best review course on the market! I learned so much from the instructors from the funny examples to the great acronyms. Above all, the course prepared me for the test questions and gave me the confidence to do my best. It's an amazing feeling to pass the tests on the first try and to do well on them. I earned a 90 (Reg), 84 (Fin), 83 (Aud) and 78 (Bus). I've been recommending your course to everyone I know and wanted to thank you for caring about your students!

Matthew Urbanic, Deloitte

I highly recommend MDS CPA review to anyone who wants to pass the CPA exam with a minimum amount of stress. First of all, the MDS Study Buddy enabled me to prepare for the CPA exam on my own time, which was really important since I had to study around my busy work schedule. Next, I was amazed by how prepared I was once I got into the exam. I found that a majority of the multiple-choice questions were already familiar to me due to the precision of the MDS homework software. Finally, once I passed my first section of the exam, I knew that if I did the work necessary to earn free repeat privileges, I would pass. That held true thanks to the great instruction I received from Steve, Jim, and Tom

Daniel J. R. Reinier, REA Associates, OSU MAcc

Your courses were right on the money as far as the focus of the materials. I have been trying to pay you back by recommending all CPA candidates to your course.

Candace Massey, Gaf-Elk Corp., OSU MAcc

I love the MDS CPA Review Self-Study courses. The flash cards and practice tests made me feel prepared when I walked into the testing facility. Since I was working full-time and had scheduled all of my exams over a less than 5 month period, I liked that it was concise and gave me the freedom to study whenever and wherever I had the free time. I would recommend the MDS CPA Review to anyone that doesn’t want to retake the CPA exam.

Todd Skruck, Ohio Water Development Auth., OSU

Jim, Steve, and Tom’s teaching methods and materials allowed a rusty accountant like me to pass all four parts with only having to retake one section. I could have never done it without MDS CPA Review.

Bryan Daulton, Victoria's Secret

I started studying for the CPA exam using another review course. After 3-4 months of studying I didn’t get anywhere. (frustrating) I was thinking about giving up, then my co-worker suggested that I should try MDS. MDS is where I received the needed hands on instruction and review materials that helped me pass the CPA exam.

Amber Pool, Schneider Downs, OSU MAcc

I think the outline books were what really set MDS CPA Review apart from the courses I saw some of my friends use. I really like the outline format. I also like having so many questions to practice with. I used the Study Buddy A LOT! Some of the questions were even recycled on the exam.

Yanmei Xu, Franklin University

I just passed my all four parts of the CPA exam! Thanks to all my instructors, Steven, Jim and Tom, especially Steven Martin. The variety of study materials, informative classes, and their professional experiences were all instrumental in helping me pass my exams. I recommend everyone to take the MDS CPA Review course!

Kim Workoetter

I highly recommended the MDS CPA Review Course. The course focused me on the relevant material and with diligent effort and study I was able to pass each part of the CPA exam on the first try.

Bryan Cottrill

Through using MDS I was able to pass all four parts of the exam. The material made the testing process go very smoothly and I purchased the MDS DVD and study material a few months ago. I just wanted to let you s th at am. I passed three of the parts on my first try.

Sara Pahl

MDS CPA Review course is an excellent course to take to prepare for the CPA exam. Steve, Tom, and Jim are all great instructors and are extremely knowledgeable in their fields. The text, Study Buddy homework, and flashcards are helpful in learning the material and if you are diligent in studying, you will be able to pass the CPA exam too. Thanks to this review course I was able to pass all four parts in six months. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is preparing to take the CPA exam.

Keith Ainsco

I got the results for my fourth test yesterday. I was able to pass all four sections the first time around. Thanks for your great classes and study materials. The MDS group's subject knowledge and experiences were a great help in my success.

Kevin Stanley, Capital university, E&Y

I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the quality of the CPA review course you and your associates have put together. Having recently received my last score for the CPA exam, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had passed all four sections the first time. Of course, I'd have to attribute it to the guided study available through the materials, class room sessions and hours of working with the Study Buddy software. I'm sure you've stressed this in class and I'll agree, the best thing you can do for yourself to prepare is just do the homework (many times in my case).

Mary Kanet, GBQ

I just wanted to thank you as well as Jim Dalton and Tom Spettel for your guidance and instruction for the CPA exam. I started the MDS classes for all of the sections in April of this year and finished in October. I had never taken the exam and heard from co-workers and friends that MDS is the best review course. I took all four parts, each right after the respective class and passed every one the first time with scores of 85, 90, 82 and 89. I don't think that would have been possible without your course. It was a long six months, but it was all worth it. Thanks again for your help!

Kashef Maredia, OSU, Deloitte

I can't believe I passed, yes I passed!!! I don't think I would have cleared the exam without the help of MDS. Steve, Jim and Tom are the best instructors to teach this course with their many years of experience. And the study material is by far the most concise and efﬁcient of any study material available. I would strongly recommend anyone taking the CPA exam to do it the right way by taking the MDS review course.

David Tierney

Zach Eickoff, GBQ

I was one of those individuals who thought I could pass the exam without any help from (and without having to spend any money on) a review course. But I was proven wrong after several failed attempts and broke down and took the MDS review course. After taking the courses and going through each of the questions CDs I finally passed but I would have passed sooner if I was more diligent with the approach Steve Martin teaches in the course. Thanks again Steve! I couldn’t have done it without MDS.”

Karl Zairns

The scores for the last CPA exam testing window were posted on-line. I passed the final section of the CPA exam and I wanted to take a moment to thank you. While I did study hard, I know that I would not have passed without your course.

Clara Lin, OSU MAcc

After getting to know Professor Martin through OSU, I was so impressed with his expertise in law and inspiring teaching techniques that I decided MDS CPA Review was the only sensible CPA review program for me. My experience with MDS CPA review confirmed my decision. Steve, Jim, and Tom not only covered the exam materials thoroughly, they helped me to formulate efficient exam strategies that focused my efforts on actually passing the exams. The review materials were essential in helping me develop speed and success in solving CPA examination problems in all formats. Moreover, it was essential for me to have a review program that fit in with my busy work life. MDS's flexible schedules and locations fitted me to a T. Taking the CPA exam could be a very lonely process, but Steve, Jim, and Tom's ready guidance and constant encouragement helped me through this process successfully.

Danny Suttiritana, Deloitte

I purchased the MDS DVD and study material a few months ago. I just wanted to let you know that I passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam the first time around and I think your product outlined the exam material perfectly.

Tyler Schleich, Capital University, E&Y

The MDS CPA review course was extremely helpful to me and I believe it was the main reason that I was able to pass all four parts of the CPA Exam on the first try. The classes were very well structured and had a college classroom atmosphere about them. The instructors were very knowledgeable and eager to help those in the class, including myself, when we had questions about the text, homework, or practical situations in real life. The Study Buddy homework software was extremely helpful in learning the material and many of the questions were similar to those that I encountered on the actual CPA Exam. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is planning on taking the CPA Exam and it is well worth the money for the results

Jeremiah O'Brien, OSU MAcc

MDS CPA review is the most efficient and effective review course. Steve, Tom and Jim spend time on what is most critical to success on the CPA exam. MDS made it easy to pass the CPA exam by focusing solely on the information that was important for passing the exam. By studying the notes they provided and completing the study buddy questions I was able to pass all four parts of the CPA exam on the first attempt. The Study Buddy questions were incredibly helpful and simulated the exam exactly. This familiarity with exam format lessen nerves on test day. I recommend MDS to anyone who aspires to pass the CPA exam.

Jessica Grennel, MVNU

The MDS review course is a great educational experience because the instructors are extremely knowledgeable in their respective areas. They were very kind, patient, and had a great enthusiasm for the material being covered. The courses are very structured, the information is condensed into a very manageable format for the most efficient studying, and the homework and practice tests are extremely helpful. Also, I felt very prepared for the testing on the computer because the examples that MDS gives are very comparable to the real thing. It was wonderful to meet other students and seek advice or even give advice at times. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to pass the CPA exam. I was able to pass the entire exam my first try thanks to MDS.

Karen Delaubenfels, OSU Macc, Deloitte

I passed all my CPA exams with the help of MDS, and particularly appreciated the DVD lessons. My job is very demanding at times; I was able to view the lessons at my convenience and watch lessons or parts of lessons over if needed. There was definitely a strong correlation between higher scores and attaining a 90%-plus level on the Study Buddy questions. I used all the other materials as well (flashcards and text), and I believe that following MDS’ methodology definitely helped me on the CPA exam.

Shu-Chen (Diva) Liu, OSU MAcc, Deloitte

Before I took the CPA Review classes, I already knew that I wanted to join the MDS CPA Review program because it is a leading CPA exam review provider in Columbus, OH. I think I have made the right decision. MDS classes provided excellent materials for anyone who wants to become a CPA and helps them with the best way to go. I, whose undergraduate major is not accounting, was not sure about my ability to pass the CPA exam. However, with MDS’ help, I made my dream come true. I attended every class with concentration on three instructors’ lectures, completed all MDS practice homework, and focused on MDS clear materials. Besides, I never felt hesitate to ask Steve, Jim, and Tom any questions not only because they welcomed any question, but also because they always gave me very clear answers in the first place. Without MDS, I certainly do not think I could get all four sections passed on the first try within a short-term period. This is a huge relief to me. I really appreciate you all, Steve, Jim, and Tom!!

Nick Malinowski, Marathon Oil Company

I enrolled in MDS CPA review because of the good things I heard from friends who had taken the course. Steve, Tom & Jim taught with a great deal of energy and charisma which helped me to remember the many concepts learned at each class. Attending the classes on a regular basis and completing all the homework in the suggested order allowed me to truly learn and not just memorize the material. I would recommend MDS CPA Review to anyone who is thinking of studying for the CPA exam.

Dale Jordan, Staff Consultant, Deloitte

Without MDS, there is no way I could have passed the CPA exam. The instructors were always willing to answer questions, in and out of the classroom, and provided a lot of helpful hints in ways to approach the exam. But most of all, they were able to narrow the information down to what I really needed to study to pass.

Bob Hahn, Controller, Fitch Inc.

There is no time wasted with the MDS CPA Review. The topics were divided in logical and manageable segments. The materials provided in the course were complete and up to date. ..The live classes allow for immediate feedback. As well as a good laugh once in a while! And having access to them via e-mail or phone during the week allowed me to resolve my questions almost immediately. . . . Thank you Jim, Tom and Steve. You are the reason I am now a CPA!
