I have made up my mind I’m going for the CPA. I just graduated with a BA in Accounting from Binghamton. I want to start studying. Could you please provide some pointers for a good launching point.

Prepare…..pick up a review course, do the research as to which review course works for you. Study….Put the hours for each of the 4 sections. Plan. Make sure you sit for atleast 2 exam in each window.

So – Prepare, Study,Plan and you will be launched..

If you have any specific questions, bring it on. At the moment i can't comment much.

I find “eenie meanie miney mo” is a good way to pick which exam you want to study for first

REG - 5/21/2012 - 85
FAR - 7/24/2012 - 86
BEC - 8/27/2012 - 85
AUD - 10/5/2012 - 72....rematch 1/3/13 (waiting)

But besides that I would probably choose the exam you believe will be most difficult for you first. You won't be as exhausted by the process yet, and it will be a huge confidence boost/relief if you pass it right away.

IMHO, apply first and make sure you meet the qualifications to sit for the exam before studying. I'd be worried about investing time in it if you've got a ways to go to meet all of the requirements, since 6-8 weeks per section is sufficient studying,

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