Random hypothetical, How much would someone have to pay you to take all 4 parts for them.

Assumptions:
Its allowed
Its been a year since you took your last test.

I’ve asked people at work and many of them said there wasn’t a high enough amount.

AUD - 92
BEC - 79
REG - August
FAR - TBD

Exactly what your coworkers said lol. Ive taken the exam parts a total of 10 times and roughly a 4 year journey so far, never would want to go through this hell again

I second Iceman6. Someone recently asked me this. I took my last exam on 3/10/2017 so it hasn't been a year but I know I would not put myself through this again. Honestly, I just think that the majority of us don't really understand what it takes to study for the exams. I honestly thought it wouldn't be that bad since I never really studied in college and got recent grades. I think after the first exam (even before getting your score) it kinda hits you and you began to wonder why you're putting yourself though this journey. If for some reason my license was suspended, I can honestly say I would not do this again.

If I ever get finished with this ish, there is no way I'd every do it again!!! Like Iceman6 been out here since '13 and I wish I would have just started a bookingkeeping business instead of doing this subjective bs for the past 4 yrs!

I would rather pay someone else to take this than get paid to take it hahahah. Maybe the real question should be: how much would you pay to get someone else to take it for you

[ashl07]

Not enough in the world for FAR.

[titoav15]

Yes, it is not worth it!! The stress and worry can not compensate sometimes… I would not mind taking an exam for fun again as long as my life does not depend on the score. I would gladly pay someone 10k to take it for me if I had a choice 🙂

BEC: 5/21/14 82! PASSED HALF WAY THERE!
FAR: 4/2/15 80! Almost there!
AUD: 69, 74, 4/3/14 81! PASSED
REG: TBD

There just isn't enough liquor in the world for me to take the exams again.

[Karrie]

See this is one of the many reasons I love this forum. No one else really understands just how intense the whole process is.

To answer the question, I would completely change careers or search for a sugar daddy before doing this again LOL

[mitchvols]

It would take a very very large amount of money. The thought of doing it again sickens me!

[tskits75]

Now that I am licensed I agree with everyone else, no way I would do it again.

AUD - 92
BEC - 79
REG - August
FAR - TBD

[Anonymous]

There is no amount of money in the world to make me do this again once I am done. LOL!

[Ana]

Do you get paid even if you don't pass their test? I'd make it my full time job for a salary of $250,000 but not study like it's my own exam lol.

[tskits75]

Yes you have to pass in order to get paid.

AUD - 92
BEC - 79
REG - August
FAR - TBD

[Gary]

It would take a very substantial pay raise for me to consider taking this exam again.

AUD 8/18/16
FAR 11/16
BEC 1/17
REG 2/17

[Pete]

$1,000 if I’m unable to gain the experience that I need for the CPA license. Hopefully, the test doesn’t expire in my state. Been unable to start gaining said experience for over a year now, which is required for licensure.

B=84 This exam was such a b**** that I thought I failed-don't know how these things work
A=76 Slacker I am, I'll happily take it
R=81 I LOVE taxes
F=80 I don't wanna get banned for an expletive I'm thinking with "yea" proceeding it
