3. Thanks!
:hi:

Good luck to your friend. My last section was very difficult for me. I won't say how many times I took it, but suffice it to say it was more than three times. :blush: Tell your friend to hang in there, she can do it!

5. Thank you!
Yeah, it was pretty tough. There are 4 sections. Two were relatively easy, one was tough, and the last one was very difficult...at least for me it was.

But I'm so relieved to be done!!! :woohoo:

7. Wow congrats
I sat for it once (to get grandfathered so I could take it again) but lost interest.

That is a life changing accomplishment for you. From now on you are a CPA.


CONGRATS!!!

13. Got it from me for sure,
I passed mine in 1995 after 3 tries. Fortunately the rules were different then in that I got credit for those parts I passed no matter what I did on the other parts.

16. Thanks!
Then you know well how tough that test can be. It took me several tries to pass this section (Auditing), and I was thinking of giving up if I didn't pass it this time. I bet it's just as tough with this new computerized format!

Thank you! :hi:

19. I remember it quite well.
Auditing was the part I had most difficulty with also. Thankfully Barney's "I love you you love me" song that I just couldn't get out of my head during the test sort of relaxed me enough to remember that it's still a test no matter how difficult.

20. Thanks -- we are!
All of the big things are taken care of, but there's a million little things to worry about.

Again, congrats. Being able to put that "CPA" after your name is a big thing, both personally and professionally.

15. Congrats on passing such a stressful test
One of my friends is already studying for it a full 18 months before she's scheduled to take it.

Much props.

Best of luck to your friend, it's definitely not easy. But the relief when you're done is well worth the suffering of those long hours of studying. Tell her to keep her chin up, she can do it! If I can pass that exam, anyone can! :)

21. Way to go!!
I took it in 1999 to get "grandfathered" in so I wouldn't have to deal with the new 150 hour rule. Never took it again.

I admire your courage, stamina and smarts. ;)

24. Wow!
I seriously thought about giving up after this latest attempt at passing the Auditing section, so I'm glad I finally passed so I don't have to face that decision. :)

Thank you for your post, I really appreciate that a lot! :pals:
