I have my first exam coming up and was wondering how strict the jewelry requirement is. If I am wearing a small/thin necklace with a small cross or have a rope bracelet, do those need to come off? The rope bracelet would need to be cut to take it off and would prefer not to have to if it’s actually not needed. Thanks in advance!

Religious jewelry can stay, they may tell you to take off any other jewelry

I have a necklace with my name on it that I cannot get off with my long nails (sounds stupid I know) and they have let me keep it on each time they just have to write it down that I’m wearing it on my exam slip

I was totally fine with my bracelets/hair ties - was worried about it too since some of them are sentimental but I think they mean more so jewelry that is bulkier

It completely depends on the exam center you go to. I’ve had some locations that question my wedding ring while other let me wear hair clips and rings and bracelets and necklaces without even a glance.

I have a rope bracelet (komboskini) and I’ve never had to take it off. I’ve only been asked about it once and I told them it doesn’t come off.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
