28. What can I do to prepare for the exam?
Check out the “CPA Exam” section of www.thiswaytocpa.com and
www.AICPA.org. Once there, you can:
• Review the “Content Specification Outline” that details what will be tested
on each section of the exam.
• Review the policy on New Pronouncements.
• Take the exam tutorial and sample tests.
• Read your NTS carefully. For more details about what to expect at the
testing site, refer to the Candidate Bulletin.
29. Are there review courses to better prepare me to pass the CPA exam?
Yes. Although the Society does not endorse one particular course, MSCPA
members receive discounts with several providers. It is recommended that
you select the program that best suits your learning style.
30. Is there a website that I can use as a resource for exam and
certification information in Massachusetts?
Yes. The MSCPA’s student website www.CPAtrack.com is a valuable
resource for exam and certification information as well as specifics about
college programs, scholarships, internships and job opportunities. There,
you will find links to relevant sites such as the American Institute of CPAs,
the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, and the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy.
* These FAQs are current as of September 7, 2016. Because the MA Board of
Public Accountancy is expected to make significant changes to the CPA exam
requirements in the coming months, you are advised to visit CPAtrack.com for an
overview of the anticipated changes and an up-to-date version of these FAQs.
