Today's sample question
Here is an example of the type of question you will receive each day. Sign up to get fresh questions delivered to your dashboard daily.
An auditor is evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained during an engagement. Which of the following factors most directly affects the auditor's determination of the quantity of evidence needed?
Explanation
Under AU-C Section 500, the sufficiency of audit evidence is primarily influenced by the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatement. Higher assessed risk requires more evidence to reduce audit risk to an acceptably low level. The size of the firm, the length of the client relationship, and the client's scheduling preferences do not directly determine how much evidence an auditor needs to collect.
Why daily practice works
Spaced repetition
Seeing concepts at regular intervals strengthens long-term memory. A daily question ensures you revisit key topics before you forget them, reducing the total study time needed to retain information.
Low commitment, high consistency
Answering one question takes under two minutes. That low barrier makes it easy to maintain a daily streak even on busy days, which matters more than occasional marathon study sessions.
Identify weak spots early
When you consistently miss questions in a specific section or topic, you know exactly where to focus your deeper study sessions. The daily question acts as a diagnostic tool for your preparation.
All six sections covered
Questions rotate through AUD, FAR, REG, BAR, ISC, and TCP so you maintain familiarity with every section. This is especially valuable if you are studying for one section but want to keep others fresh.

Frequently asked questions
How does the daily CPA question work?
Every day, we publish a new CPA exam practice question drawn from one of the six sections: AUD, FAR, REG, BAR, ISC, or TCP. You can answer the question, see the correct answer, and read a detailed explanation of why each option is right or wrong. Questions rotate through all sections so you get balanced coverage over time.
Is the daily CPA question really free?
Yes. The daily question is completely free with no credit card required. You can access it every day without creating an account. If you want access to our full question bank of 1,200+ questions, flashcards, and practice exams, you can sign up for a paid plan.
What CPA exam sections do the daily questions cover?
Daily questions rotate across all six CPA exam sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), Taxation and Regulation (REG), Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR), Information Systems and Controls (ISC), and Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP). Each question includes the section label so you know which area it targets.
Can a daily question habit really help me pass the CPA exam?
Research on spaced repetition shows that short, consistent study sessions are more effective for long-term retention than occasional cramming. A daily question keeps CPA concepts fresh in your memory and helps you identify weak areas before exam day. Combined with deeper study sessions, this approach builds a strong foundation.
How are the daily questions different from the full practice exams?
The daily question is a single standalone question designed for quick daily practice. Full practice exams simulate the real CPA exam experience with timed sections, multiple testlets, and score reports. Both are valuable, but they serve different purposes: daily questions build consistency, while full exams build endurance and test-taking strategy.
