INTRO:
There's something sad that's about to happen….
Another71.com presents: The 2017 CPA Exam Changes

CHORUS:
It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same

You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change, yeah

It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same

You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change, yeah

VERSE:
It ain’t easy now but it’ll be harder soon
2017’s right around the corner dude

Don’t wait until it’s too late, that ain’t cool
Listen to my rhymes and you can be a Ninja, too

This new exam, yeah it’s bound to stress you out, man
That’s why I’m here and I’m warning you now, man

It’s gonna be more advanced, no doubt, yeah
So the exam, you better take that thing now, man

Higher-order cognitive skills, oh no
The four existing sections got my mind blown

The new blueprints they making really scare me
That’s why I’m taking my exam this 2016

Task-based simulations, they got ‘em planned
Added to the BEC section, oh man

Total test time will increase by 2 hours
16 hours, man that sounds kinda sour

CHORUS:
It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same

You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change

It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same
You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change

VERSE:
The way they test your skill level’s gonna be changin’
Get ready for Analysis and Evaluation

Remembering & Understanding, and Application
This 2017 exam is so bad-tasting

No more CSOs, now they got Blueprints
Trying to keep things fresh just like new mint

But see, I don’t want change, I don’t wanna do this
2016 is all for me, I’m so cool with it

And now they got Document Review Simulation
Testing Application, Analysis and Evaluation

Increased time allocation, scoring weights changing
And $20 more to take the test, I’m straight hatin’

CHORUS:
It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same

You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change

It’s gonna change, yeah man it’s gonna change
In 2017, it ain’t gonna be the same

You better take it now and become a CPA
Cuz in a little while, things are really gonna change
