Announcing: The Owl Press Expands to CPA, CFA, and PMP Guides

Today marks a major milestone for The Owl Press. After two years of helping thousands of law students pass the Bar Exam, we're thrilled to announce our expansion into three additional professional certifications: CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), and PMP (Project Management Professional).

This isn't just about adding more products. It's about bringing our proven, student-first approach to more professionals who are pursuing career-defining certifications.

Why We're Expanding

Since launching in 2019, we've received thousands of messages from readers asking: "Do you have guides for [other certification]?" The answer was always no—until now.

We noticed something interesting: the study strategies that work for the Bar Exam work for other professional certifications too. Active recall, spaced repetition, practice-focused learning—these aren't Bar Exam-specific. They're universal principles of effective learning.

The data supported expansion:

40% of our Bar Exam customers also pursued other certifications
CPA, CFA, and PMP were the three most requested
These exams share similar challenges: massive content, high stakes, low pass rates

The Owl Press Philosophy Remains the Same

While we're expanding to new certifications, our core principles haven't changed:

1. Practice Over Theory

We believe in learning by doing. Every guide includes thousands of practice questions because that's how you actually learn.

2. Condensed, High-Yield Content

We don't republish 1,000-page textbooks. We distill content to what you actually need to pass.

3. Real-World Authors

Every guide is written by someone who passed that specific exam, recently. They remember what it's like to study while working, managing family, and dealing with stress.

4. Affordable Pricing

Professional exam prep shouldn't cost thousands of dollars. Our guides are priced to be accessible to everyone.

5. Continuous Updates

Exams change. Our guides are updated annually to reflect the latest exam formats and content.

What This Means for Bar Exam Students

Don't worry—we're not abandoning our roots. The Bar Exam remains our flagship offering. In fact, this expansion allows us to invest more in Bar Exam content:

More blog posts on Bar prep strategies
Video tutorials (coming Q2 2021)
Interactive practice tools (coming Q3 2021)
Expanded essay bank
