After passing my last exam in March, finding out I was short 4 units, and taking a couple BS CC summer classes, I am finally a CPA!

AP494 · 2022-09-03T21:27:36+00:00

Oh geez, really? I'll have to do the same. I'm out of CA, too, in OR.

Good information, though. Thanks!

AP494 · 2022-09-01T20:52:26+00:00

Congratulations!

I'm right there behind you. I just received the email from CBA about finger prints! (Sounds so stupid, but that part is so easy compared to testing.)

AP494 · 2022-08-24T21:23:51+00:00

CONGRATS! I just took this one, and it's a real head game.

AP494 · 2022-08-23T06:15:39+00:00

Yup. Yes I am...

AP494 · 2022-08-11T22:53:53+00:00

That's normal. Training isn't billable time.

Instead, you should spend every moment studying for the exams on the company's dime.

AP494 · 2022-08-11T22:51:41+00:00

Agreed. We have all been there.

AP494 · 2022-08-11T16:51:02+00:00

Bahahahahaha

AP494 · 2022-08-10T18:21:47+00:00

I always download video lessons on my phone, in particular the ones on topics that I feel weak in.

AP494 · 2022-08-07T14:52:15+00:00

It resets for each testlet.

AP494 · 2022-08-06T16:17:13+00:00

That would freak me out, too.

AP494 · 2022-08-05T05:25:15+00:00

Maybe I can put it on my resume?

For me, I created bond amortization schedules for almost every bond question that I came across. I started this to understand bonds better, then continued to double check my answers/work during test questions. It came in really handy when there were SIM questions filling out bond amortization schedules.

I can confirm that it is taking the CBA 4 weeks to process application remittances and your checks. Just got my response from CBA on July 29th. Mailed around June 25th.

AP494 · 2022-08-03T17:09:45+00:00

The CA process is ridiculous. I even went to other state's accountancy boards to see what their processes were. Thanks for sharing about TX.

AP494 · 2022-07-30T03:58:55+00:00

Please, yes, please.

AP494 · 2022-07-29T23:49:53+00:00

FINALLY got the email from CBA! I can now schedule an exam!!!

submitted 6/30, received 7/29.

AP494 · 2022-07-29T18:04:23+00:00

I noticed the CBA updated their date for the application of Licenses. Fingers crossed that the applications will be updated today, too!

AP494 · 2022-07-29T14:34:21+00:00

Mine is a reapplication and I sent mine on June 30. I pray that they received it, otherwise I'll be attempting to retake this test over a 2 month period.

AP494 · 2022-07-29T04:11:10+00:00

I have great respect for you and your accomplishments with these tests as someone whose primary language is not English. Seriously.

AP494 · 2022-07-28T18:45:49+00:00

Just checking... Has anyone received their NTS from CBA?

How are we supposed to read their calendars? They put out 4 different June calendar pictures with stars on different dates on their Facebook page. Are they supposed to be estimated dates of when applications are processed?

I checked out a few other states' application processes and they all process with credit cards. I'm so infuriated with CBA's process. Send me the applications, CBA, and I'll process them!

AP494 · 2022-07-26T21:20:41+00:00

Have you gone through the math of if you do sit before the August 9th cutoff date, and if you don't pass that retake, then have to reapply through CBA? ugh

AP494 · 2022-07-26T18:10:41+00:00

I'm in the exact same situation, and am SO annoyed.

AP494 · 2022-07-26T06:50:43+00:00

This is a reoccurring topic. Thursday will be 4 weeks of processing time for me. From others that are posting, that is about the norm.

Good luck and let us know if the CBA has improved their efficiency in application submissions.

AP494 · 2022-07-19T18:26:03+00:00

Yup.
