I did REG - AUD - FAR - BEC. Wish I did FAR before AUD

Since you’re in tax, I would take Far - AUD - BEC - REG. I’m in audit and that’s the first one I passed. I took it twice and it was significantly easier after I had gotten some auditing experience so I’d assume you’ll find REG easier after you’ve worked for a while. I’ve also heard AUD is difficult for people who don’t have experience auditing

FAR (failed) - AUD - FAR - REG - BEC

I would tailor it to you. Which areas do you think those will be your strongest? Figure out your busier months without exams? I would schedule your stronger subjects during busier times if you have the availability and lighter months with your harder subjects.

FAR-AUD-REG-BEC

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

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.

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.
