Conspiracy of Fools
This is off-topic somewhat, but still highly relevant to the CPA exam. I have been reading (actually an audio book) “Conspiracy of Fools” by Kurt Eichenwald, which gives readers an inside view of what exactly happened at Enron. I’m halfway through the book (I listen to it at work when I have some spreadsheet maintenance
Tip for Success: Don’t register for more than two sections on your initial NTS
Note – this CPA Exam strategy tip is no longer valid. NASBA has since corrected this glitch. It adversely affected me at the time, but has since been corrected. -Jeff Note – someone left a comment that said that NASBA has fixed the glitch that won’t allow you to retake a section when you have

Waiting…and waiting…
The good news: REG scores are out. The bad news: I don’t have mine. The weird news: A friend of mine who took the exact same section in the exact same room on the exact same day had his score yesterday. My score must have been so fantastic that they didn’t think posting it electronically
Waiting…
It appears that the REG scores will be the last section released in the first wave of scores. The wait is killing me. I heard a rumor that scores could be released last night, so I checked 4 times in the middle of the night. Clicking on the “submit” button to get your score and
