Getting started with your CPA exam journey can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Here we guide you through everything you need to know, from selecting your exam sections to scheduling and sitting for your test.

The first step is selecting the sections you plan to write. Under the 2025 CPA Evolution model, all candidates must take three core exams and choose one discipline:
Auditing and Attestation (AUD)
Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR)
Regulation (REG)
Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR)
Information Systems and Controls (ISC)
Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP)
Create a NASBA Account: Visit the NASBA Portal and set up your profile.
Apply for Exam Sections: Choose and apply for the specific section you’re ready to take.
Receive Your Notice to Schedule (NTS): This is your official authorization to book your exam.
Book Your Exam via Prometric: Head over to Prometric and use your NTS to schedule your test. It’s best to book at least 30 days in advance to secure your preferred dates and test location.
Start preparing using structured, up-to-date learning tools designed to help you master the CPA exam content.

Once your exam day arrives, bring your A-game. After completing the exam, you’ll receive your results based on the testing schedule below.
You can take these core exams any time throughout the year, with scores released typically a few weeks after your exam date. No more waiting for fixed testing windows.
