Attention CPA Examination Candidates (pdf)
Requirements to Sit for CPA Exam (pdf)
Effective April 1, 2006, the simulations on the Uniform CPA Examination were upgraded. The new simulations provide a more seamless and intuitive way for candidates to navigate through simulations. After 8 weeks of testing during April and May it has become clear that candidates who do not review the new tutorial and practice test (available at www.CPA-Exam.org) do experience difficulty making the transition to new simulations. It is imperative that before taking your next examination (AUD, FAR or REG) that you review the new tutorial and practice test. While you should review all aspects of the examination, you should pay particular attention to the following; Transfer to answer button: The way that you provide answers in the research section has changed considerably. While it is greatly simplified over the original simulations, you will have difficulty if you do not understand how to use the "Transfer to Answer" functionality. This includes using the split-screen functionality which requires that the literature be displayed in one window, and the response area of the question be displayed in the other. Practice repeatedly with the practice examination and you should have no difficulty with this new functionality.
Testing Candidates - If you have any issues or problems at the Testing Center, call the Board office as soon as possible
