CPA Exam pass rates highest for recent college graduates

By Surgent CPA Review Team

Graduation season is here. You are celebrating senior week with your friends, relishing the last few days of college life. The real world is just around the corner, and there is a big item on your to-do list…the CPA EXAM! I know, you would like to put the whole process on hold, take the summer off, and have some fun! Before you do consider these important facts about CPA Exam pass rates:

  • Candidates who take the CPA Exam immediately after college have the highest pass rates.
  • Pass rates drop off dramatically in as little as three months after college.
  • Why? You just studied accounting for 4+ years. Everything is fresh in your mind. You still have your study skills. Many recent college graduates are not juggling full-time employment, families, and the CPA Exam at the same time.

So here is my advice:

1. Before you start celebrating too much, apply to take the CPA Exam before the end of May.

2. Enroll in Surgent CPA Review.

3. Take the remainder of May off! Celebrate!

4. Hit the books and start studying June 1.
