Since @nextstopCPA created one last year, I believe we could use one this year. His post:

“I wanted to start a thread for all those that plan to graduate from the CPA Exam in 2012. What sections are you taking, when, and what is your plan?”

Well, lets replace that 2012 with 2013 and get this thread rolling! I know its early to start it but there are definitely people on here who have their goal set for some time in 2013. I’ll start off with my own personal objectives.

I took AUD in late July 2012 and passed. I took FAR last month and passed. I have two left and have an ultimate goal of finishing up in May.

I bought my NTS and schedule REG for 2/21/13. After FAR, there was a nice 10 day break and I have started studying for REG as of 2 days ago. My plan is to finish a chapter a week and then start my final review with about 2-2.5 weeks left before my exam. Then, I’ll nail down REG and have 3 out of 4 (hopefully).

BEC studying will most likely commence either early or late in that following week, probably a March 1 start time. I’ll schedule the actual exam for late April/early May and (hopefully) nail my 4th exam. I know going 4 for 4 is a tough task but I believe I have been exhibiting the proper study habits and effort to complete that objective. I will not let this exam win this battle.

After BEC, I’m going right into the ethics exam and plan to have everything 100% completed by the end of May. Then there will be a capstone course in my MBA program and I will have achieved my short term goals. I swore to myself that I would be a CPA and MBA within 4 years of graduating. Although I may not be able to meet the time limit (May 2009 graduate and my final course will be completed July 2013) I am going to be where I want to be at this point in life.

I’ll be a 25 year old with a CPA and MBA with the world at my feet. Anyways, thats my rant, lets hear from others!

I will also be class of 2013. It works out perfect for me too since 13 is my favorite number! 🙂 If only tax season weren't about to start I'd probably finish early 2013, but I will settle for around August!

B-Passed
