Memory-first CPA review

Mnemonics that survive the exam room.

Pass the CPA by memory, not marathon lectures. Summit's notes and original practice questions are built around mnemonics that actually stick — the kind you can dump onto the scratch paper the moment you sit down.

I’d never taken a real tax class. I passed REG in three weeks with a 91, using mnemonics I built myself — now they’re yours, for all six sections.— Grace, founder

First Area of every section is free. Full access starts with a 14-day free trial — then $19/month or $190/year.

The Summit difference

We teach you what to write on the scratch paper.

At Prometric you get scratch paper and a couple of minutes before the clock matters. Summit’s notes are built around mnemonics designed to dump from memory the second you sit down — so a few letters unlock a whole topic. These are real mnemonics from the notes, one tap from the full explanation inside.

Every section pairs clear, blueprint-mapped notes with original practice questions that explain why each answer is right or wrong. Here's a real example from REG.

Notes · REG Area I
Mnemonic

Contingent fees (Circular 230)

A practitioner generally may not charge a contingent fee for services before the IRS, except in a few specific situations.

Contingent fee allowable situations: “REP”
  • Refund claim: interest and/or penalties
  • Examination: of an original return, within 120 days of a written notice
  • Proceeding: a judicial proceeding arising under the IRC
Practice MCQ · REG Area I
Circular 230 scope

A CPA is advising a client on practice before the IRS. Which matter is governed by Circular 230?

AState CPA license education requirements
BAuthority to practice before the IRS
CGAAP reporting requirements for public companies
✓ Correct — B. Circular 230 governs authority to practice before the IRS, duties in IRS practice, and disciplinary proceedings. State CPA licensing (A) is handled by state boards, not Circular 230.
