STEP 3:SCHEDULE YOUR EXAMINATION

Testing Windows

The computer-based Uniform CPA Examination is offered the first two months of each calendar quarter. These months of testing are known as the "testing windows":

o January 1 - February 28 (or 29)

o April 1 - May 31

o July 1 - August 31

o October 1- November 30

The examination is not given during the third month of each calendar quarter to allow for systems and databank maintenance. It is important that you plan accordingly;it is your responsibility to schedule the sections of the examination you have yet to pass so you do not lose credit for previously passed sections.

You can take any or all sections of the examination during any testing window and in any order.However,you may not take the same section more than once during any one testing window.

STEP 4:TAKE YOUR EXAMINATION

Arrive Early

You must arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment time for your examination.This allows time to sign in,undergo scanning via hand-held metal detector wand,have your digital photograph and fingerprint taken,review the security and test center policies and be seated at your workstation.Arriving for your scheduled testing appointment anytime after the scheduled start time may result in your being denied permission to test,and you will not receive a refund.

In addition,the appointment time on your confirmation notice will reflect examination testing time plus 30 minutes.The additional 30 minutes is allocated to the examination log-in and survey.For example,the testing time for Auditing and Attestation is 4 hours;the appointment time will be for 4.5 hours.The additional 30 minutes is the time allowed to enter your examination section identification number (Launch Code), read the introductory screens,and complete the survey at the end of the examination.It is not additional testing time.
