    Seriously, is there going to be a long wait for this? Just got my letter from CPA Examination Services yesterday…..in all honesty, I was expecting something a little more than the same letter I received for passing the other 3 sections.

    How long do these “Boards” take to grudgingly recognize the fact that you passed the exam? This would be the FL BOA. Speaking of which, has anyone ever had a “good” experience dealing with this Board?”

    I’m fully expecting them to try to deny me licensure using any means necessary, including simple stalling, if need be. It was difficult enough initially getting them to approve me to take the exam….it took forever and a day, and then when they finally approved me, they didn’t bother to notify me.n

    Thank you, Connie. It definitely can be done, it just takes the motivation and a good review course. In my case that review course was Becker, but I've heard great things about others too.

    How did you feel about BEC? Good luck in your pursuit.n

    BEC 8/27/2009 - 87 REG 11/9/2009 - 84
    FAR 10/5/2009 - 87 AUD 11/23/2009 - 85

    wvCPAtoBE – I actually felt good coming out of BEC. I wasn't sure what to expect with it being my first exam. I start studying REG this weekend. I'm using Becker along with their Final Review. Thanks for the good luck wishes. Feel like it is such a long road but I'm determined to get it done soon.n

    TNcandidate1, I got my congrats letter as well from NASBA. It states, “Congratulations on passing the uniform CPA examination (period)”. Seriously?? A period?? How hard is it to put a little line above the dot and make it an exclamation point? I bust my rear for 18 months and not even NASBA shows enthusiasm for passing. Geez…

    It gave me information to take the ethics exam, but passed it with 100% (I'm REALLY ethical) on December 10. Another candidate at my work also took the ethics exam, but in her letter it stated she has already passed the ethics exam. I just want that license.n

    No. I have received neither a congratulations letter from NASBA, nor *anything* from the state of Florida, as of January 21.

    n

    The only letter I've received is the ordinary letter from CPA Examination Services letting me know I passed AUD. There has been no official acknowledgement from any entity of my passing all 4 sections.n

    Thanks for the info…. I just got done being bounce around from NASBA and the State, NASBA was saying they sent the information and the State was saying they never got anything, After further questioning with the State, they told me that information was recieved on Tuesday and Lucensure packets will be sent the 1st or second week Feb…… amazing this takes 3 months to get done!! and it is still not over, one more step to go…… very frustrating!@!n

    The first or second week of FEBRUARY? Honestly, how is this acceptable? It's actually a lot more than 3 months……because let's say we fill out our apps ASAP. You think we are going to be put on the February agenda? Hell no. They'll stretch it out even longer. It will end up being 4, maybe even 5 months, since the date the exam was passed.

    What is the excuse? Seriously, I want to know what their excuse is for this. If I behaved this way at my job, I think I would be fired.n

    Patrick,

    n

    Ignore common sense – when you follow the link above, and select board of accountancy – select “National CPA CBT Exam” under the exam drop down. Do not select “Certified Public Accountant.”

    n

    Try that….you should see your exam information.n
