So I have the daunting task of passing every part of the exam before 2014 to avoid the change of all the new requirements. Only problem is that I just finished all my education credits and submitted the application a few weeks ago.. Of course, the board hasn’t responded yet (except for saying they received my money). So, even though I haven’t received the permission yet, I started studying for my first exam last week because I know I need to get the ball rolling ASAP.

Do you guys think I have any shot in taking the exam in May? I probably won’t hear back from the board for another couple weeks. I assumed I could just study and then sign up for one of the last days in May once I received approval. However, checking my testing sites now, there’s pretty much nothing available after May 20th. So either the board needs to respond soon or I pray that other people cancel their appointments.

If I don’t get the chance in May, I’ll only have July, August, October, and November to take the 4 parts – which I was trying to avoid. It would have been really nice to try one of the parts in May… but I don’t want to kill myself studying 40 hours a week and not even get in….

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!

@sarita Sorry I just saw your response from 3 weeks ago. I've been buried in Audit preparation… From my understanding you would be able to get licensed under either pathway if you pass your exams by 12/31/13. So that would include the educational requirement.

Hi littlenumberrobot, I can only do Pathway 2 prior to the changes because I'm only going to have one year of work experience. However, I have 150+ credits (24 bus., 24 acctg, and 130+ in non-related fields) so Pathway 2 works for me… as long as I pass the exams in time!

Oops!! Sorry, forgot you mentioned the new legislature (been a few weeks!!). Yes, I would qualify for Pathway 1 if I pass all the exams by the end of the year.. then I would just wait an extra year for work experience.
