So I am trying to schedule a CPA exam, but there is literally not a single spot open for 2+ months. Is this happening to anyone else? I’ve never had this problem before.

Flights are cheap rn, just go wherever there is a slot.

Yeah they might still have a reduced number of people allowed to test at one time so there are less slots open than normally. I wouldn’t travel for it unless it was like a 1-1.5 hour drive to a different city

You should keep checking. People cancel all the time and their spots will open up.

Are you willing to drive farther out? Going out of state anytime soon?

I’ll echo the voices here that have already told you to travel. I had to take half the exam in another state and it was fine (I actually did better on those sections - I think the travel aspect made me take it more seriously).

What if you called? Maybe they have spots only they can see?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the insight. I’m open to traveling, but I also have a tentative date scheduled about a month later than I’d like to take it. It’s just bizarre, I’ve take 2 tests the last 4 months and have had zero problems with test availability, so I was really wondering if anyone else was having an issue too. Like there’s not a single spot available in my whole state which is weird.

Just an update in case anyone cares, I checked again today and there are a ton of spots now. Something must have been messed up in the system
