In this clip, Blake Oliver shares his personal experience with ADHD and how he successfully passed the CPA exam despite his struggles. He discusses the study strategies that worked for him, including the Pomodoro Technique, which involves breaking study sessions into focused 20-minute intervals with short breaks in between. Blake also recommends using Gleim study materials, which offer a variety of learning formats to accommodate different learning styles and allow for self-paced study.
Drawing from his background as a musician, Blake compares his CPA exam prep to his experience practicing the cello, emphasizing the importance of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable pieces.
