What is the process for applying to take the CPA Exam?
First-time exam candidates must have their education transcripts evaluated to ensure that state requirements have been met. Transcripts of Connecticut applicants are evaluated by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) CPA Examination Services (CPAES). Essentially, CPAES provides application processing, credential evaluation, and score-reporting services for many jurisdictions, including Connecticut. Candidates with foreign educational credentials must have their credentials evaluated by any member organization of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
As of August 3, 2009, first time applicants must pay a $135 NASBA application fee, and per section fees ranging from $180.95 to $230.55. The NASBA website can ascertain the current fee structure and give you an initial application form.
Once cleared to sit for the exam, applicants receive a notice to schedule (NTS) from NASBA. Applicants must find available testing seat time at a Prometric testing facility. Prometric testing facilities in Connecticut include locations in Norwalk, Hamden, and Glastonbury. However, Connecticut applicants may also obtain a seat at Prometric testing facilities in New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island. Regardless of where the exam is taken, the results are returned to the state of application. Taking the exam in one of these surrounding states will not provide professional reciprocity in that state.
Detailed information about preparing for and taking the restructured, computer-based Uniform CPA Examination is contained in the AICPA publication, "Candidate Bulletin."
This detailed information was taken from www.cscpa.org
This is one of the best informative websites I know of for CPA requirement information.
