Taking my REG CPA exam this week. Any thoughts on why it has one of the highest pass rates? I’m finding the content on the harder side (may just be me!).

Maybe it’s because a lot of people know it’s a tough subject for them so they study harder?

I mean I did it like over 5 years ago. As I recall, it's mostly common knowledge. That's why it's relatively easier. Maybe it has changed.

I just found out I passed Reg on my second attempt. Went from 62 to 80 after an additional month of studying. Know basis like the back of your hand, hit mcqs constantly, and if you have Becker watch the sim videos for areas you struggle in. Also, checkout the cpa Reddit group, they give good advice. Good luck!

I passed REG on the first try and left the exam center with 2 hours remaining REG was the easiest in my opinion.
