Hello everyone, I am a recent graduate with an accounting degree. I was not interested in taking CPA at all because I feel I am very inexperience in this field. However recently after talking with couple friends I decided to take the CPA exam. I know the exam requires a 120 credit to sit in, does this mean I can take all parts of the exam and get 150 credits later on and the job experience too to be licensed?

My plan so far is to study for CPA now with 120 credits and hopefully pass them all, while looking for a accounting related job then go back to school for 150 credits. Just wondering if this is a good plan to follow or is there anything else I should do?

Hope you guys can provide some insight and advice for me to follow!

Thank you !!

Smart choice to get your CPA! I would check with your state board regarding your eligibility to sit for the exam as each state has different requirements. Good Luck!

Thanks! I just checked it's 120 credit to sit in the exam. So that means I can take all the tests first then get 150 credit and work exp to officially get the license?

In most cases you can sit with 120 credits, but the credits have to meet certain criteria (so many in accounting, so many in business, etc.)

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.
