COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Regulation (REG) CPA Exam section primarily covers three topics: business law, ethics, and federal taxation. The topic that receives the most attention is federal taxation in its various forms, which makes up over half of the exam!

CPA REG Exam format

The REG CPA Exam section consists of five testlets: two testlets of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and three testlets of task-based simulations (TBSs). The MCQ portion of REG accounts for 50% of your CPA Exam score, and the TBS portion accounts for the other 50%.

How To Pass REG

The AICPA wants to know you can perform tax preparation and other services commonly required of CPAs. So to pass the REG CPA Exam, you’ll need to become familiar with tax law—but you’ll need to do more than memorize. Plan on reviewing material and then spending time working through questions and simulations that let you apply the rules you’ve learned.
