Hey everyone. This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if I break unwritten A71 rules or something 🙂 I would like advice. Imagine you are a full-time staff accountant at a small firm (<30 people), but you are also an MBA candidate taking night classes to get to the required 150. You have 2 summer classes and 2 fall classes left before graduation in December, but you will actually have your 150 hours after the summer semester is over. You are married to an RN who would like to eventually go back to school for anesthesiology, so possessing your CPA is very important because you will be the sole provider while your spouse is in school and because the two of you will likely have to relocate for his anesthesiology schooling. Given that info, would you:

A) start taking the CPA exam during the fall semester to get a jump on it before tax season comes and steals your soul, and also to potentially pass all 4 parts sooner, or

B) wait until after graduation and tax season, and start taking the CPA exam in summer 2015. This would be less stressful than taking the exam while also writing papers, giving presentations, and taking school exams, but may delay your spouse in applying to anesthesiology schools

Thank y’all so much in advance!
