The State Board will notify the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) of the candidate's approval and NASBA will send the applicant a payment coupon for the exam fees. Once payment has been made, within a 90-day period, a Notice to Schedule (NTS) will be issed to the candidate indicating the exam sections the candidate is eligible to take and the deadline by which they may be taken.  Candidates should only apply for the sections of the CPA exam that they will be prepared to take within the 90 day eligibility period.

Your NTS allows you to start scheduling your exams.  You can sit for the exam parts in any sequence so you can plan your reviews to  coincide with your exam scheduling.  The most efficient approach is to sit for two parts in each exam window; however, exam fees paid for parts not taken are not refundable.  Exam times are scheduled with Prometric and can be set up online at www.prometric.com/cpa .  You can take the exam at any Prometric location that is convenient to you.
