    Just curious guys, What is your age range when you have passed all the exams?

    I feel like, I’m so behind to write this exam at this stage of my life

    I don't know what it is, but I can tell you I'm going to skew the numbers… I'm 32… But I also didn't start until I was very late 31. (during my 10 years of tax experience, I kept putting it off, hasn't affected my career, but this is a personal goal).

    Be glad all of you 23-27 year olds are doing this now… doing with full time job, kids, spouse… very difficult. Kicking myself everyday for not doing it when I was in the Big 5 (yeah, it was 5 when I was in it)

    BEC - Pass 10/2010
    FAR - Pass 10/2010
    AUD - Pass 11/2010
    REG - Pass 05/2011

    I am 40. 2 kids. Full time job. MBA degree, master's degree from Europe… Chances are, at 40 you have to catch up with something…

    I am glad the CPA exam is what I am catching up with. It would be much harder to catch up with children at this age…

    Let us know what the statistics is when you collect all the data:)

    I'm 30 with a full-time job. No kids, but I have a very needy puppy, lol. I have a degree in Gen Business with a pre-law concentration. No MBA. I tried the test when I was 24 but I wasn't ready for the commitment it takes. I'm glad I'm getting it out of the way now, so I can focus on other things, like life 🙂

    AUD 95 (3/5/10); BEC 83 (5/28/10); FAR 71, 72, 74, 82 (10/16/10); REG 65,80(11/23/10)
    ALL DONE 🙂

    I'm 31 and technically doing this for the second time…. I'm a chartered accountant (UK qualified with Big 4 firm). I kept arguing that my CA was at least equivalent (and relevant as my FAR exam was based on IFRS).

    But in the end I decided that the CPA was necessary as I would never get promoted without it. Now I am in between jobs so a great time to do it. And thanks to a very supportive husband!
