When studying for your CPA exam, the best way to learn the material is through concept learning. Conceptual learning focuses on making sure you understand the core idea of a topic. This is often accomplished by categorizing unfamiliar ideas and concepts with something familiar to help you understand this new information better and more easily.

            Some of the benefits that come with concept learning are: 

1.      Concept learning equips learners with critical thinking skills

Using concept learning helps to develop analytical thinkers. Concept learning requires you to identify the ‘big idea’ of a question, forcing you to use critical thinking skills to help you better understand the question and find the correct answer.  

2.      Concept learning is helpful to use in every day life

Concept learning helps individuals to become problem solvers, not just on exams, but in real life. By having the ability to problem solve, individuals can feel more confident when facing big and small challenges every day.  

3.      Concept learning allows flexibility

When using concept learning, we train our brains to be more flexible by connecting familiar concepts with unfamiliar ones. This flexibility leaves room for constant improvement and continuous learning.  

Here at TAPA Institute, we love to utilize concept learning with our clients. Concept learning equips our clients with the ability to conquer any question they encounter on their exam – even questions that are unfamiliar to them.
