How to prepare for CPA exam?

I'm in my junior year of the 5-year accounting program (BA/Macc). Our books have CPA review sections in them. Also graduates from my program have a first-time success rate that has been number 1 in the country 2 out of the last 4 years. So, If I continuously treat my course work as study material for the CPA, may I be able to pass the CPA right after school without having to buy all that expensive study material. Most people I know that are trying to get a CPA have been out of school for a while and only an undergrad degree. So I would be in a relatively strong position if i Plan to take it right after school, no?

    I know MANY people who have tried to do that, and EVERYONE of them failed miserably. There is just WAY too much information on the exam for you to know with only a college education. I don't care how good you think you school is, no school on Earth can prepare you to pass the exam right out of college with no review course. You will study more for ONE PART of the exam than you did in your ENTIRE college career.....if you study properly. In fact, I advise new grads to wait 6 months after you get your new job out of college, THEN start studying for the exam. Unless you are some super accounting freak with a photographic memory and a 4.0 GPA since you were in diapers, then you might have a VERY outside shot. DO NOT (PLEASE!!!!) think that you can pass that based only on a college education. MANY before you have tried, and 99.9% have failed.
