Prometric has rescheduled my exam.... now 6 times. Why even try to have them?! I’ve been studying for this wonderful CPA exam for 5 months now. Is this happening anywhere else?!

That's tough. Are they expiring exams if they're pulling that nonsense?

I certainly hope not... this is my first exam and I still have a few months to take it so I wouldn’t know.

That’s insane, where are you located? I’ve sat for 3 exams since the pandemic with no problems

You should try a different location if that’s an option. Maybe the one you scheduled at isn’t ready to open. Alternatively, you could call that prometric location directly to see what’s going on too.

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
