Mock CPA Exam

As a student or candidate member of TXCPA Austin, I want to invite you to a very special program specifically offered to those getting ready to sit for the CPA Exam.

The program is offered by TXCPA and Surgent and will allow you to experience what it is like to sit for the exam. Plus, you will actually take a sample exam of one section of your choosing and receive a personalized ReadySCORETM.

This event is free to TXCPA members and will be held on Friday, March 24, 1-5pm. You can register here: https://www.tx.cpa/events/event-details/?eventId=248629d3-9c71-4455-845e-92a4c69f7757

The TXCPA Austin is enhancing this event by inviting students and candidates in the Austin area to attend the event in the chapter training room as a group. When it comes time to take the actual mock test, you will do that individually, of course. Afterwards, we’ll enjoy pizza and beverages and a Q&A on CPA exam strategies and answer any questions you might have about taking the exam.

To top off the event, we’ll also have drawings for door prizes!

If you plan to attend this event at the chapter offices, please RSVP to Diane Joiner ([email protected]) so I can have an accurate count for pizza.
