Just curious guys, What is your age range when you have passed all the exams?

I feel like, I’m so behind to write this exam at this stage of my life

@nturner508 – I just closed on my first home on May 20th, and I have AUD on May 27th (bad timing and not in my control!). It's stressful!! Luckily I planned to not get any studing done from the 20th-22nd, and took the 23rd and 24th off of work to get extra studying in. Good luck with your move.

FAR: 71, 77
BEC: 70, 82

@kandisjoy, What were we thinking, haha! It's so crazy to try to do anything with the CPA exam going on! I nanny part time and I have so much respect for those of you doing this with kids! That's a full time job right there!

We are hopefully closing on Thursday (26th) but the appraisal was late so it may be bumped to next week. I had to take the exam before we closed because I knew I would never be able to study once we got the house. Too bad I start Becker for Audit on June 4th!

the average might be 25-28ish

the median might be closer to 23 since a lot of recent college grads at least give it a shot (not sure)

33 years old, wife, and mommy to a 2-year old boy – I am a career-switcher! Political science major for undergrad (liberal arts college), graduate degree in accounting. Hoping to be done with this exam for good when the scores come out (but I didn't feel great about BEC, so I'm not holding my breath).

FAR - 84
AUD - 78
REG - 86
BEC - 86

FINISHED!! Now this career-switcher has to find a job...

I am 34 years old (but I only celebrate anniversaries of my 29th birthday now), single with long distance boyfriend, work full time (travel for audits). I have my MBA but started this CPA process when I got out of healthcare and Medicare auditing. I lost credit for BEC so I had to take 3 sections in the last window and am hoping I can get two more out of the way which would leave one.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I don't do well studying during football season!

BEC 75
REG 76
FAR ?
AUD ?

I dont think I really want to know. It might make me feel bad. LOL

I'm 42, married with 2 kids. Work F/T (and by f/t I mean over 60 hours a week) in school half time for my M.S. in Accounting and finance and just looking forward to being “normal” at some point. I started my undergrad in 2003 and have been in school straight through without a semester off since then. Hoping by the time I finish my degree in Dec, I'll also be done with the CPA.

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

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

I'm 25 and married. Started when I was 24, and I'm 3/4 of the way there!

This score release needs to start ASAP!

Just turned 34, married with 2 kids, work full time, have bachelors in Accounting.

Took all 4 parts last year and only passed audit – if I don't pass all three by next window then I lose the AUD credit.

Took REG last month and waiting on results, taking BEC early July and FAR late August.

Turned 26 2 days ago, but nothing holding me back like kids or GF. Trying to end this by end of 2013.

I started last summer at the age of 24. I didn't have my 150 after undergrad graduation and went to grad school for two plus years to get my 150. I now have one class left for my MBA as well. I will probably have to take a couple more classes to get my license up here in New York after I finish that. It never stops :-/

I am 46 and have two daughters who are 23 and 24. I went back to school a few years ago when I had empty nest syndrome at 41. I am set to begin a Masters of Public Administration in Spring 2014 so I have to get this behind me. I lose AUD on my birthday and well..that just ain't going to happen. I work for a major university in IL which I love. I obtained the required work experience doing governmental auditing at a cpa firm for two years…loved the job but it required a two hour per day commute and that got old…fast!
