The exam includes four separate components that require a total of 16 testing hours. Each exam section can be taken at different times as long as all exam sections are completed within 18 months of passing the first component. Business Environment and Concepts BEC — 4 hours — This component requires demonstrating an understanding of general business concepts including the global business environment and individual business strategies.
Knowledge is demonstrated through written examples and scenarios. Communication skills are of importance in this section. Task-based skill testing is performed, including an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of different standards by comparing respective financial statements. Every section has a time limit of four hours, or a total of 16 hours to complete the entire CPA Exam. To sum up, the CPA Exam is hard, because there is an extensive amount of information covered on the exam and, with most review courses, quite a lot of study time required.
However, how difficult you find any given exam section will depend on your accountancy background. The CPA Exam is considered one of the hardest accounting credentialing exams due to the sheer scope of the four exam sections.
Going over a CPA Exam sections guide can help you determine which section you will feel most ready to tackle based on your own background. While CPA candidates have up to four hours on each individual exam section, all four sections of the CPA Exam must be passed within an month testing window, starting after you pass the first exam section. Fortunately, the exam sections do not have to be taken in order. Taking the CPA Exam sections in this order will allow you to build upon the knowledge you have in to apply that cumulative knowledge to each exam section.
