This maybe a dumb question for many of you, but I'd like to make sure I have the correct info. We're supposed to pass the CPA exam withing 18 months. But, when do I start counting? the date shown on my first NTS? the one says "earliest you can take the exam"? Thanks! and good luck to all of you waiting for scores :/

The clock starts on the date you pass your first exam. If you are in a NASBA state your score report should tell you when you credit expires. Not sure how that works for the non-NASBA states but I would think that there would be something on your state board website that tells you when your score expires.

In my case, I passed my first part in October of 2008 and it expires in April of 2010.

There are no dumb questions, only dumb reasons not to ask them.
Once your receive your score report under Current Credit for Examination you will find the subject and next to that Credit or No Credit followed by the date when the credit expires.
Hope this helps.
