Can someone please help me?

There is so much conflicting information about the starting date of the 18 month testing window.

I passed AUDIT on May 3rd.2010. Conclusion after reading many blogs is I can take my last section by the End OF November 2011.

IS THIS CORRECT?

18 MONTHS WILL BE November 3rd but it rounds to the end of the month.

Please confirm as soon as possible... Thank you so much for your help.

When I was taking my exams (Mississippi), the score report actually had the expiration date next to the score when you passed. On mine, it 18-mos. from the date that you sat for the exam. In your case, it would be 5/3 and the 18-mos. will end on 11/3. I don't know if that varies from state to state (I don't think it should). Contact your state board to be sure.

I took and passed FAR on Oct 12, 2010. I have until April 30, 2012 to take my last section: REG. I believe you have until the end of November, ToroCPA.

I read an article that was linked from the NASBA twitter feed that said many states have a 2-year window for exam completion. Is this correct? I thought the 18-months was universal.

ToroCPA: For me too (NJ candidate), the score letter specifies the date and not merely the month.

Passed B and F 04/11, R 08/11 and A 11/11. Best wishes.
