2026 BAR format
BAR is a Discipline section with 4 hours of testing time. Its first two testlets contain 25 and 25 MCQs. Its final three testlets contain 2, 3, 2 TBSs.
MCQs carry 50% of the score and TBSs carry 50%. These are official score weights, not a suggested study-time formula.

Try a source-reviewed BAR practice question
Commit to one answer before reading the explanation. After answering, review every distractor and follow the cited primary source if you need to verify the rule.
BAR - Financial Statement Analysis
A company has current assets of $240,000 and current liabilities of $120,000. Using the AICPA formula, what is the company's current ratio?
How to review this BAR sample
Choose an answer before opening the explanation. Then review the correct-answer reasoning and every distractor, including when your first choice was correct.
A useful BAR comparison task asks you to interpret a set of ratios or reporting facts, identify what changed, and support the accounting or business conclusion instead of calculating one number in isolation.
If FAR felt manageable only when the rule was obvious, test BAR with a mixed scenario that requires both calculation and interpretation. A weak explanation after a correct number is still evidence of a study gap.
What one BAR question can and cannot show
This sample can reveal whether you can apply one reviewed rule and explain the alternatives. It cannot estimate a CPA Exam score, predict a pass, or represent the full Blueprint.
Use the official Blueprint to verify scope, the section guide to plan coverage, and a larger set of unfamiliar questions when you need broader evidence.
Choose the next BAR practice step
If the rule was unfamiliar, return to the BAR guide before doing more questions. If the rule was familiar but the scenario caused the miss, continue with changed-fact practice and explain why each wrong option fails.
