CPA Exam Information

The information on this page was gathered in order to help inform CPA candidates and students about the format and administration of the computerized Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Texas. Official information regarding the exam must be obtained from the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. The collection of links below is an unofficial compilation of information regarding various aspects of the exam.


What is Multi-stage adaptive testing?
The CPA Exam uses a model known as multi-stage adaptive testing which varies the overall difficulty of the exam based upon a candidate’s performance. This allows an exam to assess a candidate’s abilities while using fewer questions. Multi-stage adaptive testing and other scoring details are outlined in the white-paper How is the Exam Scored?. Also see: How the CPA Exam Is Scored
