Becoming familiar with the CPA exam itself, whether it's the software you will have to use or the length of time you will have to sit in one spot, will minimize the surprises and maximize your ability to concentrate on the day you sit for the exam.
CPAexcel's Simulated CPA Exam Procedure provides step by step instructions for creating a realistic CPA exam experience including time limits, break policies, and sequencing of materials. The exam consists of AICPA exam questions and two simulations. The only exception is BEC which doesn't include simulations. At the conclusion of the exam you will be provided with a diagnostic evaluation of your performance on a subject-by-subject basis. The length of the exam varies with each exam section according to the table below:
Exam |
Time Allowed |
Multiple Choice |
Simulations |
|---|---|---|---|
BEC
| 2.5 Hours |
72-90 (100%) |
None |
AUD
| 4.5 Hours |
72-90 (70%) |
2 (30%) |
REG
| 3.0 Hours |
72-90 (70%) |
2 (30%) |
FAR
| 4.0 Hours |
72-90 (70%) |
2 (30%) |
The multiple choice questions are randomly selected from our database and presented in three "testlets" containing 24-30 questions each. The "testlets" are completed in order, one at a time. You cannot return to a "testlet" once it has been completed.

You can take CPAexcel's Simulated CPA Exams repeatedly whenever you want. Each time you're given a new random set of exam questions. After each exam, you will receive a highly detailed breakdown of your performance per lesson, per exam, and even per the AICPA Exam outline, helping to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.
Your AICPA Grade Breakdown is a table of your score by corresponding AICPA content specification. The reported grade is the percentage of the multiple choice questions you answered correctly within that content specification.
| Grade | AICPA Grade Breakdown | |
| 80% | REG.I | Ethics and professional and legal responsibilities |
| 95% | REG.II | Business law |
| 92% | REG.III | Federal tax procedures and accounting issues |
| 97% | REG.IV | Federal taxation of property transactions |
| 94% | REG.V | Federal taxation individuals |
| 86% | REG.VI | Federal taxation of entities |
Each exam question is also linked to the appropriate lesson for instant access to relevant information.

You can readily see how many questions were used from each lesson. This makes it easy to review additional questions and text as needed.
The feedback on the Simulated CPA Exams allows you to thoroughly analyze your performance and take any needed remedial steps before you sit for the Exam. This will allow you to approach the Exam with confidence.
