Need to update my resume in application to a job, I have my scores on there, but am not sure what to call myself ? Am I still a CPA candidate?

Just put passed all 4 sections of CPA exam under education. I know it's frustrating not to put more but that's really all there is. Wouldn't even bother with CPA candidate, doesn't give any impact.

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

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

Hey CNDgoose…please please please give me some advice and tips on how you passed the test. I'm a young professional who has been out of school for almost a year and am taking my first exam in May.

FAR 7/24/15
AUD 10/10/15
REG TBA
BEC TBA

I have “CPA Exam Candidate” with the section I've passed, and an estimated completion date. I have all of my education/experience though, so I indicate that too. Maybe rephrase it to “CPA Certificate Candidate” ? Just show that you only have x hours left or whatever.

Exam:I'm done 🙂 🙂 🙂
REG - 71 (2/22/14); 67 (4/3/14); 74 (8/29/15); 83 (2/29/16)!!!
BEC - 72 (5/24/14); 85 (1/3/15)!!!!
AUD - 72 (8/23/14); 76 (10/15/14)!!!
FAR - 77 (5/26/15)!!!

Started in 2013 using Kaplan and failed REG, REG, BEC, AUD. Switched to NINJA suite in Sept 2014 and passed AUD...then BEC...then FAR!
REG took 2 tries but I finally got it in too!
I'm a hard convert - Using NINJA method with NINJA video/book/notes/MCQ

Education: Check
Experience: 3 months left! I hit 4 years on May 30 🙂

I have considered changing mine to “Passed all four sections, license application pending” or something to that effect. Just so potential employers are aware that I am currently in the process of being licensed. I also have something to that effect in the non-tailored portion of my cover letter.

If you have your experience done, and have actually submitted your application:

“CPA Candidate: Exam passed, license application pending”

Ninja + Wiley Test Bank: [FAR - 81] [REG - 76] [BEC - 88] [AUD - 73](doh!)

Becker Videos: [AUD - 82]

California CPA

You should leave your scores off the resume as well. They don't ‘add value'.

^^ What bill said – unless you are an EWS winner, the only thing that anyone cares about is that you passed the exam and are working toward getting licensed.

I put “CPA Applicant- Exam passed, education and experience requirements complete.”

I was debating including what is pending. I still have to do my ethics exam.

FAR - 7/13 - 72, 11/13- 74, 2/14- 82!!! Best score ever (for me)!!!
BEC - 1/14 - 75!!! Perfect score! First Pass! YAY!!!
AUD - 8/14 - 80!!!
REG - 5/14 - 72, 10/14 - 66, 1/15 - 78 - DONE FOREVER!!!
I did 5 of the UNA and CPAExcel classes to earn units.
