Texas CPA Exam Pass Rates by Exam Part
The CPA Examination is comprised of four sections.
AUD Auditing and Attestation
BEC
Business Environment and Concepts
FAR Financial Accounting and Reporting
REG
Regulation
Historically, Texas MPA students have performed extremely well on the
Uniform CPA Examination.
In fact, several of our students have received the prestigious
American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Sells Award for earning
the highest cumulative scores on the four sections of the exam on their first
attempt.
The tables below include the number of candidates sitting for each part of the exam
in Texas, and the percentage that passed the exam during that attempt. You
will notice that candidates from UT-Austin typically have pass rates much higher
than the statewide average on any given part of the exam. Our students' pass
rates also tend to exceed the national averages for each part of the exam, which
range from 40 to 45%.
