Free CPA Memorization Guides
Some of the CPA exam you just have to know cold: the lists, the thresholds, the timelines, the “which one is which” comparisons. These guides pull those must-memorize items out of the lessons and lay them out visually, one guide per exam section. That way you can see how the pieces fit together instead of rereading a wall of notes.
I built them for Copernicus CPA Review, where I’m the Lead Instructor. They’re free to download, no sign-up needed.
Pick your section
Each guide is a PDF in slide format. It reads best on a laptop or tablet, but it works on a phone too. The first and last pages tell you a bit about Copernicus; everything in between is the guide.

How to use them
Don’t save these for a cram session the night before. Memory doesn’t work that way, and the exam knows it.
- Open the guide for the section you’re studying and go through a few pages a day. Ten or fifteen minutes is plenty.
- Come back to the same pages over the next few days until you can say the list or draw the chart without looking.
- Keep going through the guide as you work through the lessons, so the memorization keeps pace with the understanding.
What candidates say about the guides
