best-test-quotes-to-pass-an-exam

If you are studying for the CPA exam or any other professional test, you know that sometimes you could use a little motivation from time to time.

Putting in tons of hours studying each week can be a drag and enough to make you want to quit pursuing your dream of passing the exam. Or worse, you might have failed a section of the exam in the past and you need the motivation to pick yourself back up and take the test again.

I find inspirational test-taking quotes to be one of the biggest sources of motivation out there. Motivational test quotes have power and stick in your head. I’ve often turned these into mantras, speaking them out loud to myself and writing them down during my study process.
