About the CPA Exam
The CPA exam uses the CPA Evolution model (2024+). Candidates pass 3 core sections (AUD, FAR, REG) plus 1 discipline (BAR, ISC, or TCP), each 4 hours with MCQs and task-based simulations weighted 50/50 (ISC 60/40). Each board sets the window for passing all 4 sections; NASBA recommends a rolling 30 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CPA vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the CPA vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 CPA terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the CPA terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the AICPA / NASBA / Prometric content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the CPA exam pass rate?
CPA exam pass rates vary by section. Using AICPA's cumulative figures for the first two quarters of 2026: FAR is the hardest at ~43%, AUD is ~49%, and REG is ~67%. For the discipline sections, TCP is highest at ~80%, ISC is ~67%, and BAR is ~44%. AICPA reports rates per section under the CPA Evolution model and does not publish a single overall pass rate.
How did the CPA Evolution change the exam?
Effective January 2024, the CPA exam replaced BEC with three discipline options: BAR (Business Analysis & Reporting), ISC (Information Systems & Controls), and TCP (Tax Compliance & Planning). Candidates choose one discipline to pair with the three core sections (AUD, FAR, REG). Technology skills are now tested across all sections.
