The CPA exam pattern is designed to assess both knowledge and its practical application. Each of the four sections — AUD, BEC, FAR, and REG — is four hours long and consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), task-based simulations (TBS), and, in the case of BEC, written communication tasks. MCQs test conceptual understanding, while simulations evaluate problem-solving skills in realistic scenarios. The weightage of these components varies across papers, ensuring a balanced evaluation. Exams are computer-based and can be taken in authorized Prometric test centers in India and abroad. Fintram Global trains students to handle the time pressure, understand the scoring system, and master both MCQs and simulations. Familiarity with the pattern helps reduce exam anxiety and improves efficiency on test day. With proper practice, candidates can navigate the CPA exam structure strategically, ensuring they maximize their scores in each section and clear the entire qualification within the allowed timeframe.
