Fourth Quarter 2008 Passing Rates Down 9% Over Third Quarter; Still Higher Than First Quarter

21 CommentsJanuary 12, 2009 AICPA & NASBA

I’m not really sure why this is. I’m guessing that there’s a logical reason why the CPA Exam pass rate dropped almost 9% overall in the fourth quarter compared to the third (feel free to clue me in if you know…maybe it’s obvious and I just don’t see it). The average passing rate for 2008 was 48.6% overall, which means that in a given sitting for a single section, 48.6% of the candidates passed that particular exam.
