Does having a higher gpa mean passing the cpa exam will be easier?
What is your gpa and how much did you struggle with the exam?

I'm sure there are plenty of people with a very high GPA who struggled with the exam. Similarly, I'm sure there are plenty of people with a low GPA who did very well on the exam.
My undergrad GPA was a 3.81, and my graduate GPA was a 3.37. My scores are listed below.

I had a similar undergrad gpa (3.70) and so far my cpa results are also similar to yours (and hopefully my future results will be similar)
I asked the question because I was thinking "Who are these people I am taking advice from?" "Do they learn the same way as me?" "Are we looking at this exam from the same perspective?"

Yea, I know what you mean. Kinda would be nice if the forum was set up better, and we could have a way to list our credentials (education, work experience, age, etc..)
Good luck on the rest of your exams! I hope you don't have to wait 3 months for results like I've been having to wait for audit.

If you think GPA represents study habits, then maybe. Otherwise, I believe the key to passing is a candidate's study habits. If you take a review prep course and give yourself ample time to study the material prior to sitting, as well as maintain the discipline to study over having fun, you should pass. I had Accounting professors in college that said the way a student would study for their tests was the same way you had to study for the CPA exam and I almost agree with that. Granted, any section of the CPA exam is more difficult than a semester's worth of Accounting tests, but if the study habits are there, passing shouldn't be a problem.
My undergrad GPA was a 3.84, my graduate GPA was 3.93.
