So many people freak out after failing but my wife failed the first 3 exams she took then passed all 4 in 3 months. I always tell people just because you are failing doesn’t mean you won’t end up passing faster than most of your friends. Find out WHY you’re failing and fix it!

Thanks for the comment!

Check out this article where I go into detail. You can take the exam anywhere regardless of the state your registered in:

I’m just curious, how were you able to take Alaska’s CPA exam without needing to fly up there? This would be very useful for me to know.

I always thought it was funny when auditors wouldn’t pass audit, but in reality, that section is so conceptual that it’s not all stuff you deal with on a daily basis when doing auditing.

Crazy how short that took you to pass, very impressive. It was a good 1.5 years for me from start to finish to pass but that included FAILING 3 exams. Two of which were just a couple points away from passing! But so worth it to stick with it.
