I graduated in 2013 after years of night classes, so my education was really spread out. I work as an Office Manager and bookkeeper for a small Broker-Dealer. Since my boss is both a CFP and CPA, he told me after graduation that there was no reason for me to sit for the CPA Exam. I have now decided that I want to sit for the exam. My concern is that it has been 4 years since graduation and my accounting experience has been very limited during that time. I’m hoping that once I begin studying, a lot of the information will come back to me. Wondering if there is anyone else out there who has studied for and taken the exam under similar circumstances?!?! Any advice / pointers / nuggets of wisdom / comments about study guides that worked or didn’t work, from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated!!

I was out of college for 3 years before I decided to get my CPA. Now I'm half way done. It's definetly do-able, but it's a lot of work. Plan time to study, but plan time for you to relax as well. One thing I've learned is that this test is a test of determination and will, and you WILL get there. Good luck!
