The AICPA offers a sample test (linked here) for each section of the CPA exam and includes multiple choice questions and task-based simulations. Universal CPA Review highly recommends you attempt the AICPA practice test as the questions have historically been very similar to what a candidate experiences on exam day.
If you have attempted the CPA sample exam, then you may know that there aren’t any explanations for the example CPA exam questions. Also, you will notice that the explanations for the CPA simulations examples are very brief. As such, the Universal CPA team has imported the CPA example simulations into the Universal CPA Review platform. We have brought in all the exhibits so that you can experience what it is like to navigate through 5+ of them!
Additionally, we have explained each of the examples of task-based simulations in detail through text and video explanations. These are extremely important to learn at a sufficient level, so we recommend attempting them!
Below is an Excel file that includes the mapping of the CPA example simulations for each AICPA sample test to the corresponding section/chapter/module in the Universal CPA Review platform.
If you do not have a Universal CPA account, you can sign up for a free trial here. You’ll have access to certain modules within the course 7 days. This is an excellent opportunity to focus on these simulations and see some other unique CPA exam multiple choice practice questions and simulations prepared by Universal CPA Review.
Regardless of the CPA exam section that you are studying for, practicing sample CPA exam questions is the best way to ensure that you are prepared come exam day. Below are a few topics that we recommend spending extra time studying for each section:
