How would you show on your resume that you have passed the exam if you are looking for the work to get your experience?\n

I would use:
\n
Passed CPA exam (License pending upon completion of 2,000 hours accounting work.) or something of that nature.
\n
You want them to know that you have actually passed the exam, not that you are just a candidate (still taking the exam).\n

Since I don't know about REG yet, until tonight, this is what I have put on my resume, first under the Education section because I just graduated with a Masters and I don't really have much accounting experience:
\nCPA Exam
\nPassed FAR, BEC, and AUD, waiting for REG result\n
\n
FAR 86 | BEC 94 | AUD 90 | REG 85
All done! used Becker

Thanks guys, I was wondering what a CPA Candidate actually meant.
\n
Zena, you put your's in the education area.
\n
Where else would be a good place to list it? Under professional achievements?\n

I think that would be a good place, but put it before you start listing your Experience so that is not lost at the end of your resume.\n

In MA you need 150 hours for licensing. I'm still not sure about work experience though.\n

Zena - that is what I'm struggling with. I'm a few years into my accounting career so my experience is much more significant than my education. So listing that information in the beginning of the resume seems out of place............ hmmmm.
\n
runtherace - they were refering to the work experience needed to get my license. The 150 credit hours is the requirement to sit for the exam. I have already passed the exam, but now need to find a position in which I can get the proper experience.\n
