Hi,

I need some advice I was approved to sit to write the exam back in August by CPA application board in California.  Due to unexpected delays I have not applied to the NASBA yet to write any sections.

From what I understand, I have one year to schedule an exam.  But once I schedule the exam, do I have to commit to writing all four exams in that 9 month period?  I was told that I have 18 months to complete all four sections?  So what happens if don't write all 4 in that 9 months and decide to take a little while longer(ie still within 18 months?)

It's all on the CA Board of Accountancy web site. You have 18 months from the time you sit for your first exam to sit and pass all exams. For example, I took the first exam on January 2, 1007. I had to sit for, and pass, my last section on July 2, 2008 in order to get credit for all sections passed in between.

Hey thanks for the reply, I am in SD too.

I just wanted clarification on how you arranged payment through the NASBA.  Did you request all exams in one go and then paid for them all at once or did u book them one at a time?  I ask this because I reading that once payment is made no other exams could be written unless a new application is made with a $50 re-application fee.

I did it as I expected to take the exam- usually I
scheduled 2 at a time.

CDN_accountant,

I apologize if I have this wrong but you received your ATT from the state of CA and then never contacted NASBA to pay for your sections, correct?

Your ATT is good for one year (I believe, I am not 100% sure on that and you may want to check with the state board to be sure).

Once you choose your parts with NASBA, you plan which exams you are going to take for that 9 month period. If you do not schedule all exams or don't want to pay for all 4 within that 9 month period, you will remit $50 as a re-application to the state board in order to schedule any parts you have not yet taken or retake any sections you did not pass, and these parts will have their own 9 month time period.
