Wondering if the grading is curved for each part? I would think that it is but would like to confirm. Thanks for your help.

The AICPA says it isn't.
There is discussion about this topic here:

and information on how the exam is scored here:

Well, AICPA publicly doesn't want to acknowledge that it's curved. Since some people are getting scores of 99 on these exams, do you really think that they got 99% of the questions right on such a hard exam? I don't think so. Even Gleim says in their testing materials that you just need to score in about the top 45% of test takers.
Anyways, don't worry about this too much. The key is studying hard and being prepared.
