AICPA Released Questions

    My understanding is that the AICPA Released Questions available to the public are retired questions the examiners no longer intend on using. I recently retook an exam and saw one of the questions on the exam. What does this mean? Is it a pretest question or has anyone had a similar experience?

    It means you should use all the study material available from the AICPA because some questions remain important and are used more than one year.

    for BEC I found 2 AICPA questions. I think you should study all anyway.

    Your intelligence has nothing to do with your score!  It's a matter of dedication, study habit and how well you test.

    AUD- 64 (Retake 1/2)-Waiting on score

    BEC- 82 (2x)

    FAR-May 2018

    Reg- 82 (1x)

    They release old questions yearly and they have a sample AICPA CPA exam on their website. I usually always see something on the real exam from that sample test.

    There is still a chance you'll see them on the exam. The review providers (like NINJA MCQ) have their software loaded with AICPA released questions from years past.

    AUD - 79
    BEC - 80
    FAR - 76
