There are common reasons why, time and time again, students fail their CTA exams.
To exemplify these reasons, Nitin and I have created the 10 types of bad CTA students, and to make it more memorable, we have assigned a name (hopefully fun names) to each one.
In the episode, we talk through each bad type of student to help you identify any bad traits in yourself or your staff, and then we summarise our advice to increase the chances of you or your staff passing.

Free 1-Month Trial to Croner-I’s Tax Resources
Their resources are where I usually start all my tax research. I’ve used it for over 7 years, and I think it’s great.
There’s detailed guidance, high-level guidance, overview guidance, case law, legislation, and more.
My personal favourite is the “in-depth” guidance.
