CPA Exam Tips

Weekend Aug 21, 2021

Save up to 45% More CPA tips Free questions

Take a lot of practice quizzes.   Practice makes perfect. Aim to take several 20-question practice quizzes a week, and make sure to budget 90 seconds per question. That's the pace you'll want to stick to for the actual CPA Exam.

Don't memorize the wording of your practice questions.   The CPA Exam is non-disclosed, so you won’t see the same questions you practice on the actual exam. Focus on learning testable concepts, not the wording of individual questions.

Watch for "negative words."   Negative words (like "not," "never," and "least likely") are bolded in the question stem. It’s easy to miss a question like this if you are rushing, so make sure to read them carefully!

Review the answer explanations.   It's better for your exam performance if you know why something is right or wrong, as opposed to simply knowing that it is. Task-Based Simulations, and your future coworkers, are going to ask for the reasoning behind your answers, so it's best to get in that habit now.
