Good morning! Here's a little reading material for you all while you anxiously await scores from the Jan/Feb 2011 testing window.Despite the messy wintery weather (although it’s actually Spring) today is a good day. I have semi-new outlook on the CPA exam and life in general. This is probably because I am not immersed into Becker textbooks and software trying to cram as much knowledge into my narrow little head as possible—at least for the time being. Having one exam under my belt is a pretty good feeling although I now know that the clock has begun ticking for me to pass the remaining parts. I just wanted to share with you all a few quotes that really resonate with the experience of preparing, taking, and dealing with the results of the CPA exam. These quotes speak for themselves, and really hit home. You don’t have to be a genius to pass the CPA exam. This is an exam that tests your will power and your dedication. With enough time and effort put it, a 75 is most definitely achievable! Have a great day, and an even better Friday & weekend. I know I won’t—I will be working through this busy tax season, late nights and Saturdays. At least I am not a partner yet, saving me from working on Sundays as well!
