NTS (Notice to Schedule) – More and More $$$

I haven’t even started taking the tests, and procrastination has set in.  
 
On July 27, I promised myself I would send off the Notice to Schedule (NTS) in two weeks.  Here we are, four weeks later, and I’m finally sending it off.  
 
Just to review:  In order to Sit for the CPA, you have to fill out and send this thing.
 
In Connecticut, you have to do the following:
 
Go to NASBA website
 
and find your state.  Here is the Connecticut site

 

Note: You no longer need to send the CT State Board of Accountancy $100.  

 

 

 

 

Additionally, you need to fill out THIS FORM


And give CPA Exam Services a pile of money.  Today, I’m giving them a $135 application fee, as well as $226.28 for Auditing and $190.50 for Regulation.
 
Remember, you should only apply for tests that you plan on taking within 6 months of applying for the NTS.  
 
So, I spent a total if $552 today on fees.  Now I wait 8 weeks until I schedule my first test.  I’m aiming to take Auditing in late November.
 
Oh, and I haven’t really been studying much lately either.  No excuses.  Actually, I could probably come up with about a dozen excuses (time with kids, work, business trips, Grad school research, vital time at the beach, playing video games, blogging, ect.).  However, excuses are like belly buttons.  Everyone’s got one.  So I can’t let that stand in my way.
 
Now, back to studying.
