This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Computerized CPA Exam.
I’m old enough that I only had two chances a year to sit for the CPA exam and I had to take it on paper. It took three months to get scores back so if you failed, you’d lost three months of study time.
My wife was induced a couple of days early with the birth of our daughter. Part of rational behind that was that the CPA exam date fell really close to her due date. If I got called out the exam to go the hospital, it was six months before I could take the exam again. That was also the time that I passed, so it worked out well.
