　　1. Can you compare scores of candidates who are administered Examswith variable difficulty and different questions?
　　Yes. Scores from the different administrations of the Exam are placedon a standard scale so they can be compared to each other. Thisprocess accounts for any differences in difficulty among the versions.
　　All total scores are reported on the CPA Examination 0 to 99 scale(note that scores administered after the implementation of CBT-e(January 1, 2011) are not comparable with scores from prioradministrations). The use of a standard reporting scale is commonpractice in the testing industry. You may be familiar, for example,with the 200 to 800 SAT scale or the 1 to 36 ACT scale.
　　2. Are some administrations of the Exam more difficult than others?
　　There may be minor differences among different administrations;however these differences are accounted for during scoring. Since weuse different questions for different administrations to enhance thesecurity of the Exam, we create multiple forms of the Exam. Each formis comparable but not identical. Great care is taken to match theforms in terms of content and item difficulty. Remember, you may begiven questions of varying difficulty depending on your performance(see The Structure of the CPA Examination section, above). Thedifficulties of the questions are accounted for during scoring.
　　Therefore, it does not mean that it is easier to get a higher scoresimply because you receive easier questions.
　　3. When are easier or more difficult questions given?
　　Candidates take three multiple-choice testlets. A testlet is a groupof multiple-choice questions. The first testlet is always a mediumtestlet. If you perform well on the first testlet, you will get a moredifficult second testlet while those who do not perform well on thefirst testlet will receive a second medium difficulty testlet.
　　Similarly, the third testlet can be a medium or a difficult andassignment of the third testlet is based upon your performance on thefirst two testlets. This testing process is called Multi-Stage Testing(MST) or Computer Assisted Sequential Testing (CAST). Please note thatthe task-based simulations are not chosen based on your performance onthe multiple-choice testlets. They are pre-assigned. The followingdiagram shows how it works. If you have more questions aboutMulti-Stage Testing please see FAQ #9.
　　4. Can I compute my score from the number of questions I answeredcorrectly?
　　No. The total reported score is a scaled value that takes into accountboth the response to and the statistical characteristics of eachquestion administered. If you have more questions about thestatistical characteristics see FAQ #14.
　　5. In college some of my professors gave tests that had questions thatwere worth one point and others that were worth two points. If onestudent got five of the one-point questions right, he got five points.
　　If another student answered five two-point questions right, he got 10points. Is that what you're doing?
　　Conceptually, yes. But the professor assigned the weights based onjudgment. In the CPA Exam, the weights are determined from candidate
