MEET THE TEST
What does CPA FAR practice cover?
Understand the scope of this practice resource.
FAR preparation calls for both knowledge and organized analysis. Read the accounting facts and exhibits, identify the required treatment, and connect an adjustment with its effect on the statements. Simulation practice should include reconciling several documents rather than memorizing isolated entries.
The current accepted form covers FAR only. AUD, REG and the discipline sections are not completed offerings in this release. Paper response cells approximate exam software and do not produce an official CPA score.
What practice is available here?
| Study form | Length | Suggested time |
|---|---|---|
| CPA FAR Practice 1 | 57 questions/tasks | 240 minutes* |
*These are study directions for our original forms, not a statement that every official exam has this length or timing. Read the scope notes and each form's directions for breaks, response formats, and any facilitator requirements.

Which CPA section is available?
FAR is the accepted first form. It should not be treated as practice for the entire CPA examination.
