It's a process:
1) Apply to sit for the exam through the state board of accountancy at http://www.cba.ca.gov. The application will ask you to print out a form and mail it in with a check payment. Also, there's an address to which you'll need to mail your college transcripts.
Initial application is $100
Re-Application is $50 (if you fail and need to re-apply, it all starts back again at the state site)
2) Roughly one to two months later, you'll get a confirmation in the mail saying whether or not you're eligible to sit for the exam. If so, this is done through nasba.org; again, this involves printing out a form and mailing a physical check.
AUD: $192.03
FAR: $192.03
REG: $172.51
BEC: $172.51
3) Once NASBA says you're good to go via email or postal mail, you can take your NTS to prometric.com where you will locate a testing center and schedule your exam. Don't forget your NTS on test day!!
Minimum total cost: $829.08
Estimated time from beginning of application to sitting for an exam: 3 – 4 months, depending on testing windows and things outside of your control (in my case I applied in June and didn't sit for an exam until late October)
