I did it!

I passed the CPA exam!
Started studying using Becker at the end of August 2007. Then took four parts every two weeks. Finally got my letter today.

Oct 16, 2007 Aud – 82
Oct 30, 2007 REG – 83
Nov 17, 2007 BEC – 83
Nov 30, 2007 FAR – 78

FAR I am very happy about, because I didn’t even touch homework for last 5 chapters, skipped pensions, and studied until late last evening before the exam, getting deferred taxes into my head. Then had computer crash at the testing center and a simulation with the error in it.

REG I was sure I failed, I came out almost crying.

I stopped doing Becker simulated final exams after Regulation course, they were too depressing as I was getting scores in the upper 60s.

Moral of the story: never give up and believe in yourself.

NASBA online scores!

Does anyone know how often and what time does NASBA update it’s online scores? Is it once a day? What time?

Also, I cannot see my scores online, but I saw my name on the Passing List for my state which was uploaded today. I assume this is the list of the people who passed the CPA exam? Or not?

2 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 more weeks?

I’ve graduated yesterday. Got my diploma cover that says to allow 12 weeks for diploma and degree conferral. Another 3 months to wait for my CPA scores…I took first part 2 month ago last part 2 weeks ago, add possibly another 12 weeks to add to that. And the 18 month rolling period applies to me as well as to anyone else. I keep seeing people who took exam same time as I did get their scores, cheer or get ready to study more, yet I am in this position of not knowing anything. 4 scores to wait and wait and wait for….Happy Holidays, eh?
