ParticipantYou know you're a candidate when your friends and family begin every request with, “I know you've gotta study, but can you…” With summer nearly in full swing I'm getting more and more of these requests.
"FACT": The odds of consecutively passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try: 7%.Me: Hold my beer...

ParticipantYou know you're a cpa candidate when you've taken your last test and don't know what to do with all this time but still praying to the Good Lord that you passed. It's called “cruel and unusual punishment”, AICPA (8A) – learn it.
From the OP – You know… when you buy a $350 set of very mediocre headphones that just happen to quiet everything down to be able to study. Any takers which 🙂

Ummm, when??? Next year?
You know you're a CPA Candidate when you get annoyed that you constantly have to explain to people the process of applying for and taking the CPA exam and how it will take 3 months to get your score.
What do you guys say when you get asked these questions cause I'm legit gonna go off on the next person who asks me one of these questions. I'm praying so hard that God helps me with this.
You know you're a CPA Candidate when you regret telling family and friends that you're studying for the CPA exam cause they ask so many questions. Then they forget the answers by the time you take your next exam… SMH.

ParticipantWhen u go to Six Flags and u take your audios. I forgot I was in public and said things like “oh! You have to look at threshold too!” out loud.
When u read flash cards in line at the bank, grocery store, red light, family events.
When u look on line for 3 days for noise cancelling headsets like sheldon on big bang. Closest thing I found was air plain maintance sets.

When every time you don't feel like studying you remind yourself that you REFUSE to spend another football season enslaved to this dreadful test.
