The official handbook for individuals who plan to take the CPA exam is the Candidate Guide (opens in a new tab) (previously “Candidate Bulletin”).
The guide outlines the responsibilities of the CPA exam candidate and how the examination process works. It covers topics including:
- How to apply
- How and when to schedule the exam
- What rules are at the test centers
- When to expect scores
- What topics are covered on the exam
We recommend all candidates read the Candidate Guide. This document may be the most important preparation for the CPA exam process.
