Abstract
This study aims to measure the effects of certain demographic factors that may determine the likelihood of passing the Jordanian Certified Public Accountants exam. The researcher used Logistic Binary Regression Analysis to examine the relationship between the result of the exam (pass or fail) as the dependent variable and certain demographic attributes as the independent variables which encompasses: experience, university performance designation, Universities, and area of specialization. Results of the study revealed that university performance, area of specialization, Jordanian and other universities graduates, are significant variables that increase the likelihood of passing the unified JCPA exam.
