Virginia along with many other states makes you have a Bachelors degree to sit, its frustrating for me because I have completed all the requirements for my BBA in Accounting but have 3 classes left in my BBA Marketing. I have 141 credits as I type, but still can’t sit. One of my friends informed in that in the state of SC there is no minimum requirement and I should sit there for a test or two this summer to get them out of the way. What do you think?

I live in SC and you have to have 120 hours with a certain number of accounting and a certain number of business hours to sit. Check out the SCLLR website for more information. I cannot answer your question about whether or not you should go to another state to sit if you are qualified in that state. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Oh and I think they should make exams available for people while they're in college so they can start knocking them out ahead of time…

Wait, no I don't, I'm licensed, so bring on the higher barriers to entry! Think they should require a Ph.D to sit for the exam! 😉

Florida requires 150 to sit with 36 semester hours of upper level accounting and 24 hours of upper level business to be licensed. With a B.S. in Business and an MBA I still had to go back to school to take 8 upper level accounting classes just to be eligible to sit and I have to take 4 more classes when I'm done with the exam just to be licensed. Florida also has a 1 year work requirement under a licensed CPA and your exam credits expire if you don't get licensed in 3 years. Every state has it's issues. If I were you I would just take the extra classes and get licensed in your state. At least following the Florida requirements means I can pretty much get reciprocity in any other state because Florida is one of the strictest to be licensed in.

I'm also selfish like acamp:P I am happy that California increased the educational standards, so hopefully less people will go the CPA route, and instead get jobs in low value industries like marketing lol. Just kidding KFC:P

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

I am in the analytical side of the marketing major… I've learned how to use SPSS, SAP, and other data mining software and surprisingly I am now certified expert in microsoft excel. Those are all resume boosters when I was only doing marketing to get to 150.

I emailed the VA State board of Accountancy, they told me that in fact yes I can take the tests in SC this summer and transfer the scores. I was surprised they responded so quickly.

Thanks for everyones input.

KLC I was just teasing about the marketing degree. Marketing is very interesting and it might end up helping you if your a partner some day. Bring in those clients.
