    Not sure if anyone has a definitive answer to this….but are the pass rates for the new exam supposed to be similar to prior year pass rates with the old exam?

    I'm going to guess they will try to keep them the same. I could almost say with certainty that there will not be a spike in pass rates as that would make it look like today's CPAs are getting off too easy. Just my .02

    I believe Jeff chimed in on one of these questions from a thread months ago saying every time he has seen a test change like this the pass rates usually drop about 2% for that quarter and then would return to the normal % in following quarters.

    First go at the CPA! Only using Becker

    If I had to guess, most pass rates would stay right around the average. The exception I think will be BEC. Since they are adding sims, my bet would be that the pass rate would go down a bit, but who knows, only time will tell!
