REG Components

 

In the REG section of the CPA Exam, multiple choice questions account for 70% of the overall score. Questions appear in 3 sets or testlets that adapt to your current skill level, meaning that the first set of questions are a medium difficulty level and if you perform well the next set of questions will get harder (and are worth more points) or if you perform poorly the next set of questions will get easier (and are worth fewer points).

The remaining 30% of the score comes from completing simulations, which are miniature case studies that require practical application of skills such as research, written communication, and spreadsheet design.

  • Regulation is the most difficult exam if you have an auditor type personality and if you hate taxation. Additionally, the time constraints in regulation are even tighter than in financial. I do not expect that I will have time to go to the bath room during the exam on regulation. However, I do love the subject of taxation.
