If I sign up for a CPA section each time individually, then do I have to pay a separate application fee every single time? So I have taken FAR, and now I am trying to take BEC. In order to get my NTS for BEC I have to pay the application fee again ($105)?
If this is case (as it appears it is to me), should I just get an NTS for BEC, AUD, and REG all together?

Application fee, and reapplication fees are charged each time you order an NTS.
NTS are only good for 6 months unless you are in one of the oddball states.
If you think you can sit for all 3 in 6 months then order them all at once.
Keep in mind busy season and black out months.

Also keep in mind if you fail a section you should revisit that section immediately.
Starting 2nd qtr 2018 scores will be held until the end of the window.

If I were you I would try to sit for all 3 in Q1 2018, and retake any fails Q2.

I originally planned to sit for only 2 before 2018 tax season but the score release changes for 2018 forced me to change my approach and it paid off with my AUD hail mary.

I didn't realize lol. I would have split it 2 and 2 with like FAR/BEC and AUD/REG. It seems like I could be pushing it with BEC/AUD/REG in six months, Ill pay the extra hundred bucks. Ill pay for BEC now, then AUd/REG in a few months.

I recommend buying only NTS's you are ready and fully able to utilize. Too many people fail because they are up against an expiring NTS and little to no study time because they bit off more than they could chew, so to speak.

yea i mean a hundred bucks isnt much in the amount of time/money you invest in these tests. just annoyed that i had to pay for it when I thought i was done lol.

Dang, that's a steep application fee. In Illinois, I can pay for one section at $40, or two for $76. I think it's a little discount with each additional section you add, but I don't really remember. These are just from the two payment emails I found in my email from past applications. Then, of course, you have the Prometric fee which is just over $200 per section.

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD

NYS is 150 initial and 75 for additional NTS, or something like that.
Does not matter how many exams you sign up for.
I signed up for FAR and AUD first, then after 2 passes I paid for REG and BEC.
