Uniform CPA Examination: Auditing and Attestation (AUD) practice questions: the prompt for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Copy a prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI. Each asks for Uniform CPA Examination: Auditing and Attestation (AUD) questions in the domcq/1 format, with the exam’s official topic names and question format, and nothing else.

What do you want your AI to do?

Your AI writes them to the exam’s outline and format.

You are writing exam-style multiple-choice practice questions for me. I am preparing for Uniform CPA Examination: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), set by AICPA. Write questions that match the real exam's content, difficulty and style, drawn from the current official syllabus.

Write 20 questions. Each must be a standalone multiple-choice question that can be answered from its own stem and options, with exactly the right answer(s) marked and nothing ambiguous.

Set each question's `topic` to one of these names, copied exactly (same words, same capitalization; these are the only topic names the import accepts):
- Ethics, Professional Responsibilities and General Principles (subtopics: Ethics, independence and professional responsibilities; Professional skepticism and professional judgment; Nature and scope; Terms of engagement; Requirements for engagement documentation; Communication with management and those charged with governance; Audit and assurance quality)
- Assessing Risk and Developing a Planned Response (subtopics: Planning an engagement; Understanding an entity and its environment; Understanding an entity’s control environment and business processes, including information technology (IT) systems; Materiality; Assessing and responding to risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; Planning for and using the work of others; Specific areas of engagement risk)
- Performing Further Procedures and Obtaining Evidence (subtopics: Use of data and information; Sufficient appropriate evidence; Sampling techniques; Procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence; Specific matters that require special consideration; Misstatements and internal control deficiencies; Written representations; Subsequent events and subsequently discovered facts)
- Forming Conclusions and Reporting (subtopics: Reporting on audit engagements; Reporting on attestation engagements; Accounting and review service engagements; Reporting on compliance; Other reporting considerations)
Where subtopics are listed, set `subtopic` to one of them; otherwise choose a short, specific `subtopic` of your own or leave it out.

Spread the questions across the topics in the real exam's proportions, about:
- Ethics, Professional Responsibilities and General Principles: 4 (15–25% of the real exam)
- Assessing Risk and Developing a Planned Response: 6 (25–35% of the real exam)
- Performing Further Procedures and Obtaining Evidence: 7 (30–40% of the real exam)
- Forming Conclusions and Reporting: 3 (10–20% of the real exam)

Give each question exactly 4 options. Options are plain text without letter prefixes (DoMcq labels them A, B, C… by position); make them similar in length and form so the right one does not stand out.
Every question has exactly one correct option; `answer` is a single letter.
Never use these as an option: "all of the above", "none of the above". Avoid "both A and B" style options too.

Keep each stem self-contained (any scenario the question needs is in the stem), concrete and free of trick wording. Do not refer to other questions, images, tables or exhibits.
Every item is a standard multiple-choice question: do not write task-based simulation items.

Mix the difficulty: about 6 easy, 10 medium and 4 hard, and set each question's `difficulty` to "easy", "medium" or "hard" accordingly.

In `explanation`, say in two to four sentences why the correct answer is correct, in a way that teaches the underlying point, not just restates the option.

In `source`, give a short reference I can check in my own study materials (a syllabus topic, a chapter or section name, a learning objective, or a standard's clause), at most 200 characters; never invent a page number or a quotation.

Leave out `rationales` and `id`.

Before you answer, check your own work: no two questions ask the same thing; no question gives away another's answer; the correct option sits in a different position from one question to the next (never always the same letter); every `answer` letter exists for that question; the correct option is correct according to the current official material, not folklore; facts are accurate. Fix anything you find.

Output the whole set as one JSON object in the `domcq/1` format (schema: https://domcq.com/schema/v1; this is the import format of https://domcq.com):

```json
{
  "format": "domcq/1",
  "exam": "cpa-aud",
  "set": "Uniform CPA Examination: Auditing and Attestation (AUD) practice – [a short name for this set]",
  "questions": [
    {
      "stem": "[the question, 10–2000 characters]",
      "options": [
        "[option 1]",
        "[option 2]",
        "[option 3]",
        "[option 4]"
      ],
      "answer": "B",
      "explanation": "[why the correct answer is correct, 1–3000 characters]",
      "topic": "Ethics, Professional Responsibilities and General Principles",
      "subtopic": "[optional, more specific]",
      "difficulty": "medium",
      "source": "[a reference I can check]"
    }
  ]
}
```

Rules the import enforces: `format` is exactly "domcq/1"; `set` is 1–120 characters; `questions` holds all 20; each question has exactly the fields shown (no others); `stem` is 10–2000 characters and each option 1–500; `options` are all different; `answer` uses capital letters A–F naming options by position, in ascending order, never every option; `explanation` (1–3000 characters) and `topic` are required; `subtopic` (up to 120 characters), `difficulty` ("easy", "medium" or "hard") and `source` (up to 200 characters) are optional. Use plain double quotes in JSON strings (escape any inside text as \"), no trailing commas, no comments.

Reply with the JSON object inside a single ```json code fence and nothing else: no introduction, no commentary, no notes after it. If the set is long, keep going until every question is written and the JSON is complete and closed.

Then

  1. Paste the prompt into your AI and wait for the whole JSON file. If it stops early, ask it to continue from where it stopped and finish the JSON.
  2. Copy the AI’s reply and paste it at domcq.com/import. DoMcq checks the file and shows exactly what to fix, if anything, as a message you paste back to your AI.
  3. Save, then practice: tutor mode, exam mode with the real exam’s timing, and progress by topic.

DoMcq runs no AI. It never writes, fixes or explains questions; your AI does the writing, DoMcq makes the questions count.
