Yes but I did it to myself lol. I have two exams to pass by end of March before my AUD expires. I just took BEC last Friday and am taking REG in a few weeks. I haven’t been able to study at all this week but will pick back up this weekend and next week.

Me! I am trying to study after kids go to bed around 8:30 every week days, and Sunday since my partner works on Saturday I have to watch my 3 kiddos. I am working from home, so I usually go to bed at 1am and wake up at 8:15ish and go straight to my laptop.

I took FAR in Aug and AUD last week. Didn’t pass FAR and feeling like I may have passed AUD. My original NTS for them runs out on dec 18. If I get a new NTS for one of them to take before busy season do I have to wait to take it until after my original NTS runs out?

Is BEC doable in 2.5 weeks while working full time - 40 hours? I plan on dedicating 3 hours each weekday and 12 hours each weekend day. I most likely will also have a bit of time during working hours.

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

If I am reading this correctly, this is the perfect time to be taking the CPA exam. You basically have 2-3 years to get through all the exams. Am I reading that right?
