The CPA Exam, administered by Prometric on behalf of the AICPA and NASBA, uses the CPA Evolution model: every candidate must pass 3 Core sections (AUD, FAR, REG) plus one Discipline section chosen from Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR), Information Systems and Controls (ISC), or Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP). This test covers the 3 Core sections that every candidate takes, regardless of their Discipline choice.
The CPA Exam is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous professional licensing exams in the U.S., covering a huge volume of technical accounting, auditing, tax, and business law content across 4-hour sections. Practising realistic multiple-choice questions with full explanations builds the recall speed and technical precision you need, especially for the calculation-heavy FAR questions and the regulation-dense REG and AUD content most candidates find hardest.

Study Guide
About the real test
Under the CPA Evolution model, every candidate takes the same 3 Core sections, Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG), then chooses one Discipline section to specialize in. This practice covers the 3 Core sections required of every candidate, administered via Prometric.
FAR is widely considered the most content-heavy Core section
Financial Accounting and Reporting covers the broadest range of technical accounting standards. Most candidates budget more study time for FAR than for AUD or REG individually.
REG blends tax law with business law, don't neglect either half
Regulation covers both federal taxation and business law and ethics. Candidates who focus only on tax content leave real points on the table in the business law portion.
Task-Based Simulations test applied judgment, not just recall
All three Core sections include simulations that require applying standards to realistic scenarios, not just answering multiple choice. Practice working through applied problems, not only memorizing rules.
