  1. A candidate loses credit for BEC because 30 months elapsed before passing the remaining sections. Under CPA Evolution rules, which section credit is now also at risk if not retaken?

    Answer: Any section for which 30 months have passed since the passing date

    Under any CPA Exam credit rules, each passed section credit expires if the remaining sections are not passed within the applicable rolling 30-month window measured from that section's pass date.

  2. Which AICPA-defined skill level requires a candidate to evaluate information and make judgments rather than simply recall facts?

    Answer: Analysis

    The Analysis skill level requires candidates to evaluate information, draw conclusions, and make judgments, going beyond application of procedures.

  3. A candidate uses a score report showing section performance by content area. Which action represents BEST use of this data?

    Answer: Allocate more study time to content areas marked 'Weaker' on the report

    Score reports identify relative strength and weakness by content area, enabling targeted reallocation of study time to weaker areas for the retake.

  4. Under NASBA's score release timeline, when does a candidate typically receive their CPA Exam score?

    Answer: On pre-announced target score release dates, usually within a few weeks of testing

    Scores are released on NASBA's pre-announced target score release dates, which are published in advance and typically occur within weeks of the testing window.

  5. A task-based simulation (TBS) in the FAR section requires a candidate to complete a journal entry. This question type primarily assesses which skill level?

    Answer: Application, requiring the candidate to use accounting knowledge to complete a task

    Completing a journal entry requires applying accounting knowledge to an unfamiliar scenario, which tests the Application skill level.

  6. Which of the following is a valid strategy for tracking cumulative progress when studying for multiple CPA Exam sections simultaneously?

    Answer: Establish weekly MCQ accuracy targets per section and review against those benchmarks

    Setting weekly MCQ accuracy targets per section and reviewing against benchmarks provides measurable, trackable progress indicators for multi-section study.

  7. A state board notifies a candidate that their Notice to Schedule (NTS) has expired before the exam was taken. What is the required next step?

    Answer: Reapply for the NTS and pay applicable fees again before scheduling

    An expired NTS is invalid; the candidate must reapply through their state board and pay applicable fees to receive a new NTS before scheduling.
