1. Does AICPA have a test center in China?
As a unified CPA exam in the United States, AICPA has been introduced to China for a short time, and no test center has been set up in China so far, generally speaking, domestic candidates can only go to the United States to take the AICPA exam, so the test center we choose is in the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
In addition to U.S. testing centers, NASBA, along with AICPA and Prometric, has international testing centers in England, Scotland, Ireland, Brazil, Jordan, Egypt, Germany, Nepal, Canada, Bahrain, Japan, South Korea, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates.
2. Is the AICPA test computer-based?
After the CPA reform in the United States in 2024, the examination subjects will be changed from the previous 4 subjects to "3+3" - a new model of "core (core) + discipline (discipline)" proposed by the National Association of Accounting Boards (NASBA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), AICPA has a total of four exams, including 3 core courses to test FAR, AUD, and REG, and 3 elective courses (choose one of the three) BAR, TCP, ISC.
There is no requirement for the order and number of subjects in the AICPA exam, you can decide to study one or two subjects first, and then study three subjects, but here it is recommended that you study two subjects together, so that the study pressure of each exam can be properly shared, and at the same time, you can avoid the cost of taking one subject at a time.
The AICPA test is a computer-based test with no written test. The maximum score for a single subject is 99 points, and candidates need to achieve a score of 75 and above to pass. It is recommended that candidates can often do some simulated questions in the form of computer-based tests in the United States CPA when preparing for the exam, simulate the real test environment, and answer within the corresponding test time.
