   Hi all,
   What state are you, as an international candidate, choosing?
   And why?

   I chose CO since it is one of the 120 states and I live in a 150 state, did not want to go through extra work to be eligible to write the exam :)

   I chose 150 hrs b/c it prepared me for the exam and gave me the dicipline to pass with good material and study habits

   although if I was international.....I would not even consider getting it...b/c it would be a waste of time......get a MBA and focus on international accounting or wait till like 2012....but it is up to you......I guess big 4 company force it down your throats....and work you too much...your choice.....I prefer Texas b/c it is the best and everything is bigger and better in Texas

   Passed REG, AUD, BEC

   I agree with Rob. The 150 hours with most of it being in accounting really helps. That is one reason I have struggled with this test. I have 224 total college hours but only the minimum required to sit for the CPA exam. My other electives were Political Science (totally useless) and Criminology (also totally useless). I think I would have been better off to take the extra accounting classes and graduate with 250 hours.

   I do have to disagree on Texas being "better". I'm in Louisiana and we definately have better food! Ha Ha Please don't take offense this is a joke.

   BEC 66, 67, 69, 72, 82(Expired 4/4/12)
   AUD - 71, 73, 70, 83
   REG - 61, 61, 70,70, 71, 69 (Rematch 4/3/11 - 8am), 84
   FAR - 71, 73, 76 (Expired 08/06/11), 71 (Gettin' my score back 4/3/11 - 12:30pm), 71

   I need an advice; for those of you that have taken Reg and passed or did not passed but know much about a better material to use, I need your opinion. I took Reg in August and not sure if I will pass. I used Becker and beleive that it prepared me well for multiple choice. I did not know a thing in any of the simulation. I am praying that I pass the exam but not very optimistic. If I am to take it again, what material do you recommend. I am in a dilema between Becker's final review and Yaeger's final review. Your input please.

   If you go with Yaeger - I would get the HomeStudy and not the cram. Get the cram only if you feel solid on the concepts (really solid) and just need a refresher. I scored 74/74 on REG and still used the HomeStudy (92).
