Hey guys,

My last final exam is may 4th. graduate may 12th. Would it be too much of a rush to study for BEC and take it on last day of Q2 window?

I would hopefully be able to ask my school to send my transcripts over to NASBA around may 8th when grades come in. I would plan to begin studying May 8th as well so roughly 4.5 weeks to study.

Q2 does not have the extra 10 days in June available due to the new exam changes.

Congrats on graduating (almost)!

I see a few potential roadblocks:

1) The last day of the Q2 testing window is May 31. If you start on May 8, this only gives you 3.5 weeks to study.

2) The last days of the testing window are usually the first to fill up. You can use Prometric's “seat availability tool” to see if there are any spots available in your area. https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/cpa/Pages/landing.aspx

3) Depending on what state you're in, less than a month may not be enough time for the Board of Accountancy to receive, review, and approve your transcripts and other documents. Plus the additional time it takes to pay for a section and receive your NTS before you can finally schedule your exam.

My suggestion would be to get started on the paperwork as soon as possible, but take a couple of weeks to enjoy your graduation and not studying, then after that pick your books up again. I think it would be more realistic to plan to sit in early Q3.
