    I am happy to announce that I passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam! Could not have done it without the support of this thread.

    Now I am in the process of preparing my work experience form (which I have the 2000 hours from working in public for 3 years) and taking the ethics test.

    The only problem is that my state (Maryland) requires 150 credit hours and I only have 132.

    A little more back round, I have decided to get away from public accounting and start a business with my parents. People always ask me what is the point of having a CPA if I am not going to use it right now. I decided recently that working corporate was not the way I wanted to go and I have a great opportunity to be working with my parents running small business and basically being an entrepreneur. I did get a bachelors in accounting and have a great appreciation for accounting. I do not have any regrets and feel a CPA is so valuable. I wanted to prove to myself that it could be done so even though I was not going to use my CPA right away for some sort of promotion or bonus I really wanted to be certified.

    Anyways I just wanted to know if I can send in my work experience with endorsement, and take the ethic exam, and after complete the remaining 18 credits needed to be certified.

    Also if anyone could point me into the right direction for taking online classes for credits. Ideally I want to take Korean online for credits.

    FAR 81
    AUD 65, 84 (Used Ninja MCQ which I say contributed to my huge increase in score I love you Jeff)
    REG 87 (CPA excel Wiley Self Study Book, Ninja 10 point combo)
    BEC 86! I Must Pass or I lose my FAR Credit, Pray for me(Becker, Wiley, WTB, Ninja MCQ, Ninja Notes)

    DONE!!!!!!
