Thank you everybody.
One more question: NTS and candidate bulletin are telling about introductory screens that should take no more than 10 min. Otherwise your exam will be terminated.
Can somebody tell what are those and if 10 min is enough to go thru them?

You could go to www.cpa-exam.org and look under "Quick Links" for
"Tutorial and sample tests." I think it has those introductory screens and
you could read them now to save time. I think one of them is the statement
about not discussing anything that was on the test and the others are just
kind of instructions about how to mark for review and how to move on to
the next testlet and stuff like that. I hope this helps and Good Luck!

I've heard stories of people cramming info right before the test, then as soon as they walk in they dump it all on the scrap paper. I think that going overboard with the "brain dumping" is the only way you will go too long on the introductory screens. There is no timer for this part, so you don't really know how long you've gone.
I did that on BEC just with all the variance equations and seemingly had plenty of time left over to read the intro screens.
Another item to point out is that the 10 minutes doesn't count against your test time. You will still have 4 hours for the test no matter if you take 1 minute or 9 minutes to read the instructions. Therefore, unless you plan on writing a lot of notes as soon as you walk in, I wouldn't worry about reading the intro screens ahead of time.
