Everyone should have gotten this, but just in case you did not...
CPA Examination Candidate:
Effective with the January/February 2011 testing window, the series of changes to the Uniform CPA Examination (Examination) known as CBT-e will be implemented and will affect all sections of the Examination.
Changes will include:
New Content and Skill Specification Outlines (CSOs/SSO)
Updated authoritative literature release featuring a new research task format
Short task-based simulations (TBS)
New section structure, time allocations and scoring weights
Candidates planning to take a section of the Uniform CPA Examination on or after January 1, 2011, must be familiar with all of the changes and should visit the CPA Exam Web site at http://www.cpa-exam.org for up-to-date information about the Examination.
The Uniform CPA Examination Tutorial and Sample Tests reflecting the changes to the functionality and format of the Examination are now posted on the Exam's Web site at http://www.aicpa.org/cpa-exam.
Select Tutorial and Sample Tests under the heading Quick Links. Please note, you will find two versions of the Tutorial and Sample Tests on the Web site one for candidates testing before January 1, 2011 and one for those testing on or after January 1, 2011. Select the appropriate version for the date(s) you have scheduled your Examination section(s).
To prepare for each section of the Uniform CPA Examination candidates are responsible for reviewing the Uniform CPA Examination Tutorial and Sample Tests. Thorough familiarity with the Examination's functionality, format and directions is required before candidates report to test centers. Failure to follow the directions provided in the Tutorial and Sample Tests, including the directions on how to respond, may adversely affect candidate scores.
