FAR CPA Review Live Classes with Vishal
FAR is the CPA exam section that trips up the most candidates, and it is hard to fix alone. Vishal CPA Prep's live FAR review classes are taught by Vishal Gandhi, CPA, in small Zoom groups, so you can ask questions, work through real exam-style problems, and understand the "why" behind each concept instead of memorizing it.
Choose the format that fits you: the full 20-class FAR bundle, single classes by topic, or the FAR bootcamp for a final review.
Choose Your FAR CPA Live Class Option
FAR Live Class Bundle (20 group classes). The complete FAR review, covering every must-know topic in small live Zoom groups. Best if you want structure from start to finish.
Single FAR Live Classes. Pick only the topics you need help with, such as bonds, leases, or revenue recognition. Best if you are repeating FAR or strengthening weak areas.
FAR CPA Bootcamp. A live, intensive session of about 8 hours focused on the hardest FAR concepts, with MCQs and test simulations. Best if your exam date is close.
1-on-1 FAR Tutoring. Private sessions tailored to your weak areas. Many students book one about two weeks before the exam to spot last-minute gaps.
How Our Live FAR Classes Work
- Small groups. Sessions have 10 students or fewer, so everyone gets attention at a pace that suits the group.
- Live on Zoom. Classes run weekly, led by Vishal, who assumes you have read the study materials and spends class time on what actually trips students up. [CONFIRM: class length, about 3 hours, and weekday or weekend schedule]
- Exam-style practice in every class. Vishal works through MCQs and simulations and teaches a method for eliminating wrong answers.
- Recordings if you miss a class. Let Vishal know ahead of time and he can record the session for you. [CONFIRM: how long recording access lasts]
- Support between classes. Weekly check-ins and answers to your questions as you study. [CONFIRM: what the bundle includes versus the membership, e.g. unlimited calls, texts, and emails]
Why Students Choose Vishal's FAR Review

Another said learning over drilling gave her what she needed to raise her score. [CONFIRM both students are happy to be quoted by name; the first is Ashlyn Lee, the second is Lauren Warren-Cho]
- Founder-led teaching by a CPA
- Small group classes, not a lecture to hundreds
- Rated highly by students, with 12 of 13 reviews on the FAR bundle in the top rating

How to Study for FAR
1. Learn the concept first, then practice it with questions.
2. Practice MCQs and simulations equally, since each is half your score.
3. Spend the most time on the highest-weighted areas.
4. Review weak topics by drilling them, not by rereading everything.
5. Take at least one full mock exam before test day.
Common FAR Mistakes to Avoid
- Memorizing rules without understanding them
- Skipping simulations
- Avoiding hard topics such as leases, bonds, and revenue recognition
- Poor time management across testlets
