Taking and passing the CPA Exam requires time, effort and dedication. On average, test-takers spend 450 hours studying for all parts of the exam. To make it a little easier, the AICPA is offering free section-specific guides for each of the four exam parts.
These blueprints detail the minimum level of knowledge and skills needed for licensure. They contain approximately 600 representative tasks across all four sections, which align with content and related skills required by newly licensed CPAs.
