Inside the CPA Exam

The CPA Exam is a four-part exam that tests the various skills entry level accountants need in order to practice public accounting.

Each section of the CPA Exam is tested separately at a Prometric test center.

“It would be impossible for me to attempt to prepare appropriately on my own. I reviewed several different study aids before settling on Surgent. It is really a great value for the money, especially considering the time and effort that is saved by a guided program that includes flash cards, online videos and practice exams along with books.”

— Stephen M
