Additional task-based
simulations (TBSs) will
be included on the Exam,
which are an effective
way to assess higher
order skills.
The Exam will remain
composed of the four
existing sections – Auditing
and Attestation (AUD),
Business Environment and
Concepts (BEC), Financial
Accounting and Reporting
(FAR) and Regulation (REG).
Total CPA Exam testing
time will increase from 14
to 16 hours – four sections
of four hours each.
Administration of the new exam will
include a 15-minute standardized
break during each section that will not
count against a candidate’s testing time.
