CPA Exam I started to take CPA exam in 2008 and had passed 6 courses by 2011. In order to pass the exam， I had to spend nearly half of my spare time in 3 or 4 months a year preparing it. it's realy tough, but it's happy to see all the efforts had been paid off in the past a few years. I took the last course exam this September and hoped to make it closured this time. Three months have passed, and the result has not come out yet. I hate waiting, especially for such a long time. It makes me feel like waiting for the final judgement. note: CPA stands for Certificate Public Accountant, something like ACCA.
