   Hello All,

   Today I sent in my application for the CPA exam in NJ. Here is my situation. I was told I do not need to meet the educational requirement in order to sit for the exam. I was told I can take courses to satisfy the educational requirement after I pass all the exams. I saw on the application form that under option 2, I need only 15 credits at the graduate level to meet the educational requirement. I currently have 181 credits in total, I got my undergrad in Econ and Stat and my MBA in Finance. However, I am far short of the accounting credits. My accounting base is decent, as I have a CMA. Is there any chance I can get the educational requirement waived? Or will I have to take the courses after the exam to get licensure? Will my exam scores expire? Thanks for your help!

   CMA, 2010

   In my situation in Massachusetts, I need to get to the 150 credit mark. I have to get these done within 3 years of my last exam or I lose all my test credits. (Or at least that's what I've been told couldn't get much help since the Board wasn't the nicest bunch of people I talked to.) I'm not sure you can get a waiver for experience for classes.... definitely talk to your state board or I ended up talking to the state society of cpa's since the board was useless pretty much..... It's definitely different in all states though, Good luck!

   I had the same exact situation as yours, degree in business and econ, MBA in finance. Degree from overseas but very few acctg credit recognized, initially only 5, then I appealed and got to 16.
   The California board would not let me sit, so I had to take 10 credits at a local community college, I took Principle of Acctg I and II.
