The BEC exam is the official exam behind the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential from AICPA. It sits at the Professional level of the AICPA certification track. It is also associated with Uniform CPA Examination. The Prep4SureReview practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The BEC exam contains 62 MCQs + 4 TBS + 3 Written Communication tasks questions and gives you 240 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the Prep4SureReview test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need 75 (scaled 0–99) to pass the BEC exam, and the official registration fee is $200–$350 USD (varies by jurisdiction). A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed Prep4SureReview practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.

Bachelor's degree + 120–150 college credit hours (including accounting/business coursework); eligibility determined by state board of accountancy
