SUBJECTS
The Uniform CPA Examination consists of four sections:
1. Auditing and Attestation (AUD),
2. Business Environment and Concepts (BEC),
3. Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and
4. Regulation (REG).
Sections are made up of testlets (groups of up to 30 multiple-choice questions) and simulations (case studies).
Candidates are expected to possess basic computer skills, including familiarity with the use of a mouse and keyboard.
SIMULATIONS
Simulations are condensed case studies developed to test candidates'
accounting knowledge and skills, using real-life work situations. All
simulations assess knowledge and skills at a level appropriate for
entry-level CPAs.
Some simulations will include an online search as a required task. You
will receive access to the appropriate accounting literature database
during the exam
The sample tests will familiarize CPA exam candidates with the format,
content, and functionalities of the CPA examination. Sample test
software lets candidates download and answer a sample set of
multiple-choice questions and a simulation.
