Do you qualify to take the CPA?

Before signing up to the CPA, you must first obtain a Notice to Schedule (NTS). To acquire an NTS, you should apply to take the exam then wait for NASBA’s Board of Accountancy to determine that you are eligible.

You must obtain as NTS for BEC, REG, FAR, and AUD. So four Notices to Schedule total. Each NTS is valid for a specific amount of time, and cannot be used once it expires. So remember to schedule your exam appointment soon after obtaining your NTS.

About the CPA Exam

The Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination or CPA Exam is a computer-based test administered to those who wish to become certified public accountants in the United States.  The exam is comprised of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG).  Each section is scored on a 0-99.  A minimum score of 75 is required to pass each section. In total, the exam takes fourteen hours; however, you may select the order in which you take each part of the exam, so long as you complete all parts within 18 months.

We start off by learning as much as we can about our students so we can deliver a customized tutoring experience. Some of the information we seek includes:

CPA Exam Components

Multiple-choice questions: Multiple-choice questions appear in all four sections of the CPA exam.  These questions are based on the topics in the Content Specification Outlines.  In each exam section, there are three multiple-choice “testlets,” which are the groups of questions.

Task-based simulations: This type of test component uses simulations of real-world work situations in order to test your knowledge of particular subjects as well as your skills in applying your knowledge to the situation.

Written communications tasks: These tasks require you to use letter or memo format to respond to scenarios concerning topics within the Content Specification Outlines.
