Does anyone in Florida know the answer to this. I’m scheduling my last exam for the end of October. In Florida the rules state that all 4 parts of the CPA exam must be completed within 18 months of taking the first step. My first exam was taken on 5/2/2013 which means I have until 11/1/2014 to complete the final section to be within the 18 month time frame. However, NASBA indicates that my first test expires on 11/22 which gives me an extra month to study. I’m not sure why NASBA would say this as I presume all states have the same 18 month requirement. Does anyone have experience with this. I’m waiting to hear back from NASBA and also the State of Florida but I am presuming that NASBA is wrong. Thanks to anyone who responds.

Should expire on 11/22 which “should” be the date that you received the results from your first exam. Not when you took it.

Licensed Florida CPA:
B: 71, 73, 79
A: 83
R: 78 (expired), 77
F: 74, 74, 80

It's finally freaking over.

Each state gets to interpret the 18 months a little bit differently. In Oregon, we have 18 months to the day of the actual test. Looks like Gatorbates was able to give you the info for FL.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

I just double checked my scores. I RECEIVED my first pass on 5-4-13 (took April 19/20, 2013), and it would have expired on 11-3-14, had I not passed all other sections.

Licensed Florida CPA:
B: 71, 73, 79
A: 83
R: 78 (expired), 77
F: 74, 74, 80
