You see a lot of posts from people unsure of taking the CPA exam? Can you link some? I’ve never seen one of those.

It’s actually a pretty popular sentiment. I personally passed BEC/FAR but let them expire once I realized that this career is not for me. I have spoken with several staff that feel the same and it’s common on Reddit threads to see college students talking about avoiding the major because of the CPA/PA Culture.

However I don’t really understand who this program is for. There is an unlimited amount of free tips/advice on studying for the CPA just a google search away and most firms provide the only thing you need to pass the exam, Becker.

To all the haters, it’s professional coaching. That’s not mentoring or advice giving by some old timer. It’s not ranting to your friends in the struggle. If you don’t pass the exam, your firm will probably never make this type of investment in you. Carry on.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
