NASBA

I had to wait until January 18, 2010 to finally mail my Application of Intent for the CPA exam.  I wanted to submit my App of Intent back in December, but the school I went to for my credits was using a new grading system and had told me my fall 09 transcripts would not be ready until mid January.

I mailed my App of Intent on 1/18/2010 and received an email from TSBPA on 1/20/2010 that they received my application.  My App of Intent was finally approved for February 8, 2010.  I waited about 2.5 weeks which was around what I expected.

After the App of Intent, I had to submit the online Eligibility Application.  It cost me $15 x 2 sections to register for FAR and BEC.  On 2/10/2010, my Eligibility App was approved and now I am waiting for an email or letter from NASBA with my exam coupon so that I can pay $399.10 for the sections.  After paying NASBA, I should then receive a Notice to Schedule (NTS) which should FINALLY allow me to set the dates for my exams!!


Something I wish I could do over:

If I had known the 90 days to schedule the test started from the day I submitted the Eligibility App., I would have waited until Feb 28 or March 1 so that I could have a full 60 days worth of options to schedule my exams.  I now have until May 10 to take FAR and BEC.  Hopefully, I can schedule FAR on April 10 and BEC on May 10.  I was hoping for FAR on April 1 and BEC on May 31, but I’ll be fine because I only work part-time and can spend 30+hours a week studying.
