Preparing for your ACAT Examination

Now that you’ve decided to sit for an ACAT exam, it’s time to make sure you are prepared to succeed! While other resources exist, ACAT provides study materials for each of its four examinations. Written by leading CPAs, EAs, tax law, and ethics experts, each course and exam are created using the exam outline/blueprint, making them an essential tool to help determine how and what you need to review prior to examination.

Along with the exam preparation material, ACAT has also developed a free Candidate Handbook to help answer all your questions throughout the process of earning your credential.

And, don’t forget to review the Exam Blueprint for your specific exam to review the content that you’ll need to study.

You can also view our What to Expect on Exam Day information ahead of your examination date. This also shows some images from the online test delivery which may be helpful to some candidates.

* ACAT’s role is in developing and administering certification examinations to determine the qualifications of candidates for certification. While we offer study materials for sale, these are not the only educational or training programs intended to prepare candidates for their certification. Purchase of our review materials is not a requirement for testing, nor does use of any review materials imply successful performance on the ACAT certification examinations.
