Hey guys, big reader but first time posting. I recently accepted a position in Philly, and will be fresh out of college. The only thing is that I still have a few classes left this upcoming fall when I start my job, so I don’t intend on beginning the process of taking the CPA exam until the end of fall/beginning of winter.

My question is, with the CPA exam changing in 2017, how would you handle the situation? How many sections, and what sections specifically, would you recommend shooting for before the change? Which one/s would you defer to after the exam changes?

Thanks in advance!

I would say BEC since it will change the most in 2017. Then REG because they are tacking on an additional hour to the current duration. However, all the exams will see significant changes and it is anyones guess if those changes will have a huge effect on the pass rate.
