Marcelle G. says, "True experts! SoFlo knows the SAT incredibly well and was able to pass on lessons and tricks to my son who improved 310 points on his SAT from a 1240 to a 1550 over the course of 4 months. SoFlo gave my son a ton of curriculum. He needed a set structure and study plan to succeed, otherwise it would be hard to keep him focused. Every week he was studying from real SAT past exams, a free video course, and plenty of 1-on-1 tutoring to give him the skills to be break 1500. My son is very bright but not confident, and his tutor Brian worked with him to gain confidence and have the right mindset for success. SoFlo has changed the direction of my son’s life and now he will have so many more opportunities. I’m so thankful to have found and his team. They are amazing!!" Read more

Your CPA Exam Tutoring questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

What is the CPA exam?

To become a Certified Public Accountant, you must pass the Uniform CPA Examination®. The CPA exam has four sections, and you must pass all three Core sections and one Discipline section to qualify for a CPA license. The minimum passing score is 75 on a scale of 0 to 99 for each section.

The three Core sections of the CPA exam are:

  • Auditing and Attestation (AUD)
  • Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR)
  • Regulation (REG)

The Disciplines section was added to the CPA exam in 2024. You must select and pass the exam for one Discipline section. The best Discipline section for you will depend on your specific career goals.

  • Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR)
  • Information Systems and Control (ISC)
  • Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP)

How much does the CPA exam cost?

The CPA exam costs $1,210 to $2,200 total for the application, registration, and exam fees, depending on yourstate.

  • Application fee: The CPA exam application fee varies by state but typically ranges from $50 to $200. Also called the education evaluation fee or eligibility application fee, this is the cost for your state Board of Accountancy to verify you meet the minimum education requirements to take the exam.
  • Exam section fee: The CPA exam has four parts, also called sections. Exam fees are $250 to $400 per section for a total of $1,000 to $1,600, depending on the state.
  • Exam registration fee: Some states also charge a separate exam registration fee of $40 to $100 per section in addition to the exam section fee.
  • Ethics exam: Some states also require you to take an ethics course and pass an exam. Prices for the ethics exam range from $150 to $320, depending on if you take a state-specific exam or the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) self-study ethics exam.

Is the CPA exam hard?

The CPA exam is typically considered one of the most difficult professional exams. The average pass rate is 42% to 82%, depending on the exam section. 

The current pass rates for the three Core Exam Sections are:

  • Auditing and Attestation (AUD): 44.63% pass rate
  • Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR): 41.92% pass rate
  • Regulation (REG): 63.42% pass rate

The current pass rates for the three Discipline Exam Sections are:

  • Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR): 42.94% pass rate
  • Information Systems and Controls (ISC): 50.93% pass rate
  • Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP): 82.36% pass rate

The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) recommends spending at least 350 to 400 hours studying for the exam.

Is the CPA exam worth it?

The CPA exam is worth it for anyone pursuing a career in the accounting field. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) salaries are 20% to 45% higher than non-CPA salaries, and the CPA credential is considered the gold standard in the industry.

How much does a CPA review course cost?

A CPA review course costs $1,300 to $5,000 on average, depending on the features and class format. CPA exam review courses are designed to help you study and prepare as much as possible before taking the exam. Most online courses include dozens of hours of video lectures, along with textbooks or study guides, simulated exams, and performance reports to help you determine which areas you need to focus on studying. 

Some course providers also include live online classes, one-on-one lessons, or boot camps as part of their review course fee, while other course providers charge extra for these options.

How can I find the best CPA exam tutor?

In addition to spending time on independent study or taking a CPA exam review course, working one-on-one with an experienced CPA tutor can signficantly increase your chance of passing the exam on the first try. A tutor can help you identify areas where your knowledge is the weakest and develop a personalized study plan.

Follow these tips to find a qualified, reputable CPA tutor near you:

  • Look for a CPA tutor with 5+ years of experience.
  • Choose a tutor with experience in the specific Disciplines section exam you plan to take.
  • Read reviews of CPA tutors on Google and Tutors.com.
  • Choose a tutor whose teaching style and format best suits your learning style. Some students do better with a structured approach, while others prefer flexibility.
  • Ask tutors about their previous students' CPA exam pass rate.

What questions should I ask a CPA exam tutor?

Ask CPA exam tutors these important questions to ensure you choose the best tutor for you:

  • How long have you been tutoring students for the CPA exam?
  • What percentage of your students have passed the CPA exam on their first try?
  • What is your teaching style? Can you describe a typical tutoring session?
  • Does your tutoring include practice tests?
  • How familiar are you with this year's version of the CPA exam?
  • How much time should I spend on studying between tutoring sessions?
  • Will you help me create an independent study plan?
  • Do you recommend any specific CPA review courses?

Dani was great to work with. My 16-year-old son said, “ She was very helpful and I took a lot of her tips going into the test. I feel like I did much better than if I went in there as an inexperienced test taker”.

Angie did a fantastic job with assisting our son with College Algebra. There were a lot of foundational elements that he didn’t understand and she helped close the gap in those areas. Highly recommended!

I feel compelled to share a great "find" we made last year. School had only been in session for two weeks before my kids came home lamenting that their AP Physics teacher left them totally confused and stressed out. Switching to a less demanding schedule wasn't an option so I decided to look for some help. Lord knows, it wasn't going to come from me or my husband! I found Daniel, a 2012 UCLA engineering grad who has been tutoring for many years. After the boys' first meeting with him, the level of stress in our household plummeted and the boys did well on their first physics test. We've decided to have him come regularly, just to make sure the boys understand the material and keep them confident. The boys ended up with A's in the class and doing well on the AP test. Daniel was able to help them with anything they didn't get in their calculus class as well. So as you stare the next school year in the face, if your child has any difficulty with their studies, especially in math or physics, consider talking to Daniel. He's a lovely young man and the boys really responded to him well.
