CPA Exam

Every section, in one place

Three Core sections everyone takes, and one Discipline you choose. Pick a subject below to start studying.

How the exam actually works

3 Core sections. 1 Discipline. Not “4 mandatory subjects.”

Every candidate sits FAR, AUD, and REG. Then you pick exactly one Discipline — BAR, ISC, or TCP — based on where you want your career to go. All four lead to the same CPA license.

Core — everyone takes all three

  • FARFinancial Accounting and Reporting
  • AUDAuditing and Attestation
  • REGTaxation and Regulation

Discipline — choose exactly one

  • BARBusiness Analysis and Reporting
  • ISCInformation Systems and Controls
  • TCPTax Compliance and Planning

Discipline sections are only offered in four testing windows a year, and once you register for one you can't switch without forfeiting the attempt — choose deliberately.
