Dear NT - I passed the CPA exam! Vol - I don't need a blog

[november33rd]

Did your firm pay for you to take it?

I get a bonus in the form of a "reimbursement" so it won't be taxed. Then once I receive the actual certificate, I'll get a lower bonus(taxed).

And BEC isn't the ethics, the ethics test is a take home exam. BEC covers a melting pot of topics - Business structure (partnerships, LLCs, corps), Econ(lowest percentage of all the topics), Financial Management, IT, and Cost accounting.

Props Lazy! Thats awesome. You must be feeling high on life right now, you deserve it, this test is a B@#!ch to get through but worth it, CPA, instant respectand credibility anywhere you go for the rest of your life!

I am currently sitting for the exam, I am scheduled to take Audit on May 31rst. So far, I've sat for BEC and FARE and passed both, however it's toughworking full time in public accounting and staying focused on a plan. I sat for FARE back in October 08 and have been so busy w/ wortk since then that I amjust now finally getting deep into studying for Audit.

To all other future CPA's, good luck!

Congrats, man. Hopefully I will get to feel the same excitement in a year or so. For now, my focus is completing my bachelor's.

lol DC Sounds..man I was so ignorant the first time I filled out my NTS. Signed up for all four legs, paid for all four and didn't realize how life/workgets in the way.

I took FARE once, without studying..literally knew I signed up months in advance thought I had the test and couldn't find my confirmation. I calledProMetric (this was Jan 2007) and was like, yes I signed up for FARE and can't find when my test is. This was at like 6am, the come back and are like,"it's today at 8am". I showed up without studying at all and got a 34. Then I studied and took it and passed the first time. That was a relief asI figured that'd be the most difficult just based on the volume of the book.

Nothing like a deferred tax asset simulation.

Congrats!!

 

[the yes guy]

Congratulations, but I disagree. I think a blog would serve you quite nicely, since clearly all of these people already care about what you have to say andread through what you typed (no sarcasm).

 

[shoeguindaloon]
