s/o taking the CPA exam
I am living over seas right now, and really want to take the exam. Problem being that I have to return stateside to sit. I'd like to do it in one or two pops if possible to minimize having to travel back and forth too many times. Any tips or pointers or suggestions.
Would it be feasible to study for two sections then sit for two at the same time?
Re: s/o taking the CPA exam
I finished taking the exam last December and passed all four parts on the first try. However, I was able to spread out my sections over a year and a half and that took some seriously dedicated studying. I feel that if you really study and know the material extremely well, then you should be fine taking more than one section at a time. If you don't feel that confident, then I wouldn't even try a section until you feel ready. Like PP said, you should be getting at least 75% on your practice tests before you even try to take a section. Since you are travelling over seas on top of having to pay for the materials and the exam fees, you want to be as ready as possible.
Another tip, it seems that Financial is the hardest section so you may want to attempt that one first. If you get it under your belt than the others shouldn't be as difficult. You have to keep in mind that once you pass a section, you have 18 months to pass the other parts or you lose them. I'd hate to see you pass an "easy" section first and then lose it because you are having a hard time with one of the others.
Good luck!!
Yes, you can pass if you sit for more than one section at a time. As I mentioned in a previous post, prior to the test being computerized, you had to sit for all 4 sections at the same time AND you had to score a minimum of 50 on non-passing sections to pass the sections you scored over 75.
Only you know how you study, so you will have to tailor your studying habits to make sure you have the correct knowledge. PP are correct, you should be scoring at least 75% on practice tests. AND make sure you do the practice tests, the CPA exam tests you on your knowledge but it is also written to trick you and make sure you are paying attention to what the questions are asking.
