CPA Exam Dates

 

CPA Exam Dates

 

    The Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Exam is offered throughout the year, giving candidates flexibility in choosing when to sit for their exams. Unlike many other professional exams that follow a fixed annual schedule, the CPA Exam uses a continuous testing model. This means candidates can take the exam year-round, with no specific testing windows or blackout periods.

Key points about CPA Exam dates:

·         Year-Round Availability: Candidates can schedule their exam on almost any day of the year, depending on test center availability.

·         Flexible Scheduling: You can select exam dates through the Prometric testing centers or approved online platforms, making it easier to plan around personal and professional commitments.

·         Section-Wise Testing: Since the CPA Exam has four sections (AUD, FAR, REG, and one chosen Discipline in the new CPA Evolution model), candidates can choose different dates for each section instead of taking them all at once.

·         Rescheduling Options: If needed, exam dates can be rescheduled, though fees may apply depending on how close the reschedule is to the exam date.

·         Score Release Timeline: Exam scores are usually released on a rolling basis, often a few weeks after the exam date, according to the AICPA score release calendar.

In short, the CPA Exam dates are designed to be flexible and candidate-friendly, allowing aspiring CPAs to plan their exam journey at their own pace.
