The REG exam is the official AICPA exam behind AICPA CPA Regulation — passing it earns you the AICPA Certification certification, a credential positioned at the Core Section of CPA Exam level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by AICPA CPA Regulation. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the CPA Auditing and Attestation (AUD), CPA Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), CPA Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR), CPA Information Systems and Controls (ISC) and CPA Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one AICPA credential.

The REG exam presents 72 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) + 8 task-based simulations (TBSs) questions to be completed within 240 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Lead1Pass desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the REG exam you need 75 (scaled score on a 0–99 scale), and the official registration fee is Varies by jurisdiction (national section fee example ~USD 359 before local fees). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed Lead1Pass practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Meet applicable state board of accountancy eligibility requirements (education and application process) and receive Authorization to Test (ATT). Because AICPA revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official AICPA exam page before you register.

The AICPA CPA Regulation syllabus is organized into 5 domains. Among the headline areas are Federal Taxation of Entities (23-33%), Federal Taxation of Property Transactions (5-15%), Business Law (15-25%).
