if you are truly serious about taking the exam and can see yourself studying and sitting for all 4 parts in 9 months (which is really 6 months because of the testing windows) then pay for all the parts. but we all know life doesn't always go as planned so my advice would be to select one at a time or maybe do 2 at the most.

after you pay your fees for whatever section, you'll get a notice to schedule (NTS) from NASBA which allows you to schedule your exam. you have to sit for the exam within a 9 month period in your case (other states it's only 6 months) before it expires. once you pass your 1st exam you have 18 months from the date you sat for the exam to pass the others before the credits start to expire.

you can order your review materials when ever you would like to. the sooner the better. good luck! i hope this helps some...

[QUOTE=Tabu]

Hello!

I got my email saying i am eligible for sitting in for exams.however i would like to know the process in simple words rather then the confusing email i got from the board.

They say i have to select sections to sit for,and selection will be transmitted to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a request for an Authorization to Test (ATT). So Should i select all the four sections together??or should i do one by one?

Then they say i get 9 months to appear for exam for  the selected sections ,but i think u get 18 months to appear!

Also when should i register for the online review course(becker) is it after selecting sections and paying fees or before?

I am so confused..can someone write down the whole process in simple words for me!

Thanks.

Most of my international students take one part at a time.  Each section is challenging enough and your preparation should start three months before you plan to sit for your first section.  Doesnt hurt to have someone review your application before sending it in to the state board.
