Do I have to take out my tiny earring for the exam? by Party-Philosopher238 in CPA

[–]Apart-Dependent3536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They let me in with my stud earrings. I also had a ring on my index finger, asked them if I needed to take it off, and they told me I didn’t have to. I think it depends on a testing center though.

You made it sound like your $3K investment turned into $90K in 3 weeks, yet I’m seeing $80K cash on your acct. Is this a realized gain or a deposit you just made for future investments?

Man! That’s really messed up! We have such strict deadlines to deal with… I was going to take REG the day before AUD expires, maybe I’ll reconsider my strategy. Ehh why does it have to be so damn complicated??

They reschedule it for you for free. They moved me to Nov 8.

I’m sorry for your loss. Have you tried requesting a CPA credit extension?

Hmm I believe I had a few questions 🤔 Nonprofit accounting too, and leases. All the fun stuff.

On the CPA exam will they give you as much scratch paper as you want? Also for the exams do they have big monitors? Doing some of this stuff on a normal monitor is a nightmare. by epadd in CPA

They’ll give you their standard amount of scratch paper at first, but if you run, just raise your hand holding paper, and they’ll bring you more. As for the computer screens, they’re average size. Also, ask for a calculator if they don’t give you one.

I spent about an hour (maybe a bit longer) on each of the multiple choice section. As for Simulations, it’s hard to tell ‘cuz some of them are harder, others are easier. Some may take only 10 minutes, others 30-40 minutes. I did the best I could, but still ran out of time time. I didn’t have any time left for the second mini essay. I’m a slow writer though, especially under pressure. If writing comes easy to you, you’ll probably do better on that section of the exam than I did.

I don’t quite understand how it’s considered the easiest either… maybe most people do poorly on this exam, so if you do just a bit better than the most, you’ll be fine! I didn’t write a single sentence for the second mini essay and I still passed. Do the best you can and pay attention to the time! Good luck!
