    Took me probably like 3.5 hours to get through that exam. Not to mention it’s expensive too. What a waste of time and money.

    how much was yours? last time i checked MCs was around $400. i think it also requires completion w/in 12 months of licensure, so i don't know when i will be taking it.

    Yea it's not stressful really. Its open book and you have 3 tries to get 90% and then after that I think you have to actually send your answers in through snail mail. The questions are fairly difficult and so you have to look up each one and it takes awhile to find the answer.

    Thank you! I need to look into it. I am going to burn my CPA books tonight and drink a huge beer. Then I will get serious about the ethics next week. Man if you stay on track you should be making some serious money in the next 5 to 10 years. Knocking the CPA exam out while in under grad is impressive. I don't know you, but you seem to have a good head on your shoulders as well. Stay humble and work hard and good things will come to you. I am interviewing for jobs that pay $30k more than what I have been making without the exams passed. So I have probably cost myself $300,000 minimum not having the CPA. Things happen for a reason, but still happy for you man. You have it set up. Don't marry or have a kid with a crazy woman (I did that) and barring something out of your control you should have a great run. Don't take it for granted and make some money!! There is my old man advice.

    Sorry monikernc I'm failing you :-/

    In my defense though, I couldn't get to sleep until about 7am today. So I only had like 3 hours to try and make this happen.

    What was your approach on ethics? Just go straight to the test? Or did you go thru the course? Also, once you start the exam do you have to finish it? Or can you exit and come back?

    @SaveBandit I just went straight to the test and skipped all the slides. Even if I would have spent the time (probably a couple hours) watching the slides, I don't think I would have remembered a single thing that would have helped on the test. So I would say just go straight to the test and then search for the answers.

    I'm not sure if you can exit and come back or not, I didn't want to test it out. There isn't a time limit though.

    @biff

    Thanks, I'm going to try to knock this thing out in the next week or so. I went ahead and paid for the course today and got the Memorial Day discount, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
