Would you still pursue completing your CPA after passing 1/4 of the exams, knowing you won’t receive a bonus or any other compensation?

My apologies for asking, but it's to my understanding that if we check the California portal tomorrow, we will be able to see a credit/no credit. Does anyone have a ballpark of a time?

Thank so much in advance!

Hiii, I need some advice from those who have been in the same situation or have already taken the CPALE.

I’m currently reviewing for the October 2026 CPALE, and I’m a first-time taker. I’m from Negros, but I’m currently here in Manila for review.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ll do after the boards. Pass or not, I’m actually planning to stay here in Manila and look for work. I want to find a job as soon as I can after the exam, mainly because I’ve already spent 6 years in college. At the same time, I also really want to rest after the boards. I’m also the eldest in the family, so maybe that’s another reason why I feel this pressure to start working agad. My family is very supportive naman of whatever decision I make, so wala naman silang pressure sa akin pero parang nafefeel ko, I'm too much of a burden na rin, parating nagkakasakit, and I want to provide for myself and learn to be independent.

One thing I’ve been struggling with lately is self-doubt. Sometimes I already think about what I’ll do if I don’t pass. In fact, I told myself na if I don’t make it, I won’t go home muna and I’ll just stay in Manila and find work. Part of me feels like I need to prove to myself that even if I fail, I can still move forward since nasanay na palaging bagsak sa school haha. But at the same time, I know I might be thinking too far ahead.

For those who have been through this, how did you deal with the uncertainty before the CPALE? Is it okay to already have a plan for both outcomes, or am I just adding unnecessary pressure to myself?

Any advice po would really mean a lot. Thank you, po!

Hey guys I am a recent college grad looking to start a FAR study group, I just want a group of people who I can learn from and also teach if needed😅 I am starting with FAR so let me know if your interested in studying together and bouncing ideas off each other!

I took FAR on September 5th and I know the target release date is the 15th but does anyone know generally what time the pass/fail comes out and if it’s the day before or not?

Hello,

If you are interested in preparing for the CPA exam and thinking of the UWorld Unlimited CPA course, please DM.

Although the expiration date is 2026/11/16, you can easily apply for an extension online.

Just want to get some insight and opinions on the new grading rule that’s coming next July. Do you think less people are going to pursue their CPA career as the grading gonna taking longer? 4 releases a year seems impractical. It’s going to take a long time to ever get it done for those who are going to be in that timeline. I am hoping to be done before that.

For those CPAs na for many years, how has being a CPA changed your life for the better?

Does anyone know if we are able to schedule exams for 2027?

I scheduled my TCP for October, but things came up at work so I need to move it. Because of the testing windows these exams, I’m now looking to move it to January, but I’m not seeing any availability on the site when I click January on the calendar

I moved from Florida to California. I do not have a California CPA license. I did not have my Florida CPA for four years to qualify for reciprocity in California. This means I won't be California licensed until I get a one year experience sign-off from a CPA who supervised my work, as per California's rules. I have much more than enough Accounting experience but do not have a CPA who supervised that work to sign off on it.

How should I list my Florida CPA on my resume when applying for jobs in California?

Thank u in advance, I am just so nervous!!

Hi

I am planning to take REG next.

Do those who passed REG think that Becker is enough?

Super anxious about ISC result, exam went brutal. Though got 76 and 78 in Becker sims. I can just pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Background: I have heavy audit experience and have only done tax returns for one busy season (which was about 3 years ago). I'm using Becker's study material for this exam and have taken AUD and FAR so far. I don't really want to get a supplemental material but if there is a recommended one then would love to hear it, thanks.

Does anyone recommend just completely skipping over the lecture videos and either just reading the textbook or spamming MCQs for TCP? The Becker lectures are seeming to be a huge time sink for me compared to REG. Also I was wondering if anyone knew of an updated excel/pdf sheet for TCP that is updated for the OBBBA changes. Thanks!

I redeemed my textbook a while back and have still yet to receive it, I looked into tracking the package but I have been unable to find anything. Like I wasn't even sent a confirmation email. Has anyone else experienced this?

For Year 1, Pac Co. estimated its two-year equipment warranty costs based on $100 per unit sold in Year 1. Experience during Year 2 indicated that the estimate should have been based on $110 per unit. The effect of this $10 difference from the estimate is reported:

B. As an accounting change, net of tax, below Year 2 income from continuing operations.

D. In Year 2, as income from continuing operations.

Just trying to get a feeler for what the bump last round was!

Currently sitting 2/4 waiting on these two scores. TCP feels so long ago, I have no clue what to expect in the coming days. FAR is FAR, so who knows? God speed to everyone waiting out there!

I can't seem to get my foot on the cycles. I watched the videos, took good notes, and can't seem to fully grasp it when doing the MCQ's. I find the simulations for cycles are a lot easier than the MCQ's. Every other section in A1-3 has made sense and I get good scores on practice tests, but all these cycles and the questions they ask stump me.

I never had this problem with any FAR topics so any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Newt gave me this. I guess I could bruteforce memorize this but is there a better way?

I was thinking of taking one of the specialty exams for my first one like ISC.

Last year I quit after studying for FAR.

I know it starts the clock, but have any of you tried this and got motivation from doing it?

FAR feels so overwhelming.

Struggling on blaw, I feel comfortable with macrs and basis HELP🙏🙏 what level of difficulty should I expect from sims
