I just had a conversation with one of my clients. She was telling me that she never realized how much work and effort it takes to sit for the CPA exam. At the end of our conversation she was saying she was very proud of me for going through this process.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

Agreed, unless you take the exam it's hard to realize what it takes. Work + cpa exam sucks, but I try to think of all the posters with families/kids for motivation.

R - 74;88
A - 84
B - 74;89
F - no study = 67; May 15 = 87 & done

She was also saying “I don't know how you do this with small children.” I have a 7 year old and a 22 month old.
