I got my Bachelor degree in accounting 10 years ago in the Caribbean , I want to sit for the CPA, I am having my degree revised by NASBA I think I have 120 hours but still not sure, my problem is, should I go back to school before taking the exams? Just to refresh my mind!? I have more than 10 year in General accounting but nothing in taxes or audit so Iam not sure if is gonna be hard for me to pass, taking in consideration that English is not my first language.. what do you think?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
