  • Well, just finished two days of grueling exams for my CPA certification

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>and i'm exhausted. Although i guess any exam that is 4 parts and 4 hours per part will do that to a person. There was:

Auditing
Financial Accounting & Reporting
Business Law
Taxation, Management Accounting and Government

I think i may have passes Auditing and FAR, but we'll see. I odnt get the results back until Feb, which is nuts. Whatever part i pass i dont have to take again and whatever i fail i can retake until i pass, although you have to pass atleast 2 when you have four parts remaining, they do that to prevent people from studying for only one part. If you pass one and fail 3 then they drop the one and make you take all four again.

Think of it as every college course's test in your major given at the same time, it sucked and was extremely hard. Not just the basics either, they ask specific questions. I'm been reviewing for the last 3 1/2 months but i felt as if i should have done more because i dont think i was adequently prepared.

Oh well, if worse comes to worse i'll just do it again in May...</div>
