Unlike the GMAT or LSAT, the four CPA sections are taken as entirely separate exams on separate days — so this portal's mock exams follow that structure: pick one section (AUD, FAR, REG, or BAR) and take a focused, timed testlet of 10 original multiple-choice questions. The real exam mixes roughly 50% MCQs with 50% task-based simulations (TBS) across five testlets per section; TBS items are complex, multi-part, spreadsheet-style simulations that are impractical to reproduce faithfully here, so this mock exam is MCQ-only. Treat it as focused review of concepts and pacing on the MCQ portion, not a full-length section replica.
The 0–99 score shown after a mock is an illustrative estimate built from a simplified, published-pattern-based curve — it is not AICPA's actual scoring algorithm, which weights MCQ and TBS testlets, adjusts for item difficulty, and is proprietary. A score of 75 or above here should be read as "you're in the passing range on this simplified sample," not an official pass.
