Getting your CPA can be a rather complicated process. I tried to simplify the steps below - but let me know if you have any questions. 1. Ensure that you meet the educational and other requirements for the state in which you wish you sit for the exam.2. Apply to take the CPA Exam through your state board of accountancy and pay any necessary fees.3. Begin studying - as the test covers such a vast array of materials, I would recommend taking a review course. (Obviously, I recommend www.rogercpareview.com)

4. Once approved, you will receive an "ATT" or Authorization to Test. This must be submitted to NASBA with any associated fees of the sections of the exam for which you want to sit. 5. Next, you will receive your notice to schedule; this lets you officially register for your exams.6. Sign up for the exam sections you wish you take - through www.prometric.com7. STUDY!!

8. Take your tests - pass with a score of 75 or higher9. Meet any additional licensure requirements like fees, additional education units, and/or experience.
