New CPA Exam Gets Rolling

About 200 people will take the CPA exam electronically in a pilot set in New York City in November, and then be available to all candidates officially on April 5, 2004.

While the current exam is offered during two days in May and November, the electronic version will be available six days a week over a two-month period every quarter. The questions will be refreshed the third month of the quarter. Overall, the test is an hour and a half shorter than the 14-hour current version, because of the efficiencies of computerization. Candidates can take all portions of the exam at a couple of sittings or space them out over the course of 18 months.
