Self-evaluate your knowledge, test-taking
ability and determination by using the
following steps in completing your initial pass
through each study unit:
We recommend you begin with Multiple-Choice Quiz
#1 to practice answering questions that you are
not familiar with. This will help you
develop your educated guessing skills.
The CPA exam is very
different and very difficult compared to other
exams you have taken. Approximately a
75% raw score is passing. Thus, you
have to adjust to answering questions that appear
very difficult and require educated guessing.
(30 minutes, plus 10 minutes for review) Complete the first 20-question
multiple-choice testlet in 30 minutes
(excluding the review session). It is expected
that your scores will be lower on the first quiz
than on subsequent quizzes.
Immediately following the quiz, you will be prompted to
review the questions you marked and/or answered incorrectly.
For each question, analyze and understand why you answered it
incorrectly. This step is an essential learning activity.
(30 minutes) After the initial 20-question
test, use the audiovisual presentation for an
overview of the study unit.
(45 minutes) The true/false study questions
are an excellent study tool. They are
interactive and most effective if used prior to
studying the Knowledge Transfer outline.
(60 minutes) Study the Knowledge Transfer
outline.
(30 minutes, plus 10 minutes for review) Complete Multiple-Choice Quiz #2.
Immediately following the quiz, you will be prompted to
review the questions you marked and/or answered incorrectly.
For each question, analyze and understand why you answered it
incorrectly. This step is an essential learning activity.
(60-90 minutes) Complete the simulation or written communication questions.
