Which state is better for AICPA exam?

The most critical step of AICPA exam is to determine the application status, which is not only related to whether you can successfully apply for AICPA, but also related to the license application after obtaining AICPA. Because the requirements of AICPA license application are different from those of AICPA exam, candidates should consider various aspects to determine the application status when applying for AICPA exam.

First of all, take your future career planning as the guide.

To be clear, the state you choose directly determines which state you can sign on the audit report in the future.

If you plan to immigrate to the United States in recent years and apply for AICPA license to continue to develop in the firm, then the corresponding state is definitely the first choice for application; If you just want to "add icing on the cake" to your career, and then want to develop in China for a long time, then it is natural to choose a state with relatively low entry threshold and pass the exam as soon as possible.

Secondly, according to the corresponding credit requirements

Different states require different credits for candidates, which are divided into total credits, accounting credits and business credits. Some states also have specific course requirements for credits. Only when you have enough credits can you submit relevant materials for academic evaluation and subsequent registration.

Considering that many candidates are from non-accounting backgrounds, you can choose some states with lower requirements for accounting credits, such as Maine. Non-accounting majors only need to have 15 accounting credits. If you still can't meet the credit requirements, you can continue your studies, or choose the "make-up credit" service provided by some training institutions.

In addition, the special requirements of different States should be considered.

If you want to get this top accounting license with high gold content, you must not only pass the corresponding credit certification, but also consider the "personality" requirements of different States. Many domestic candidates like Washington, California and so on. But to apply for these, they need to have a US Social Security card number. Most of the applicants are people who live and work in the United States every year.

Some states need overseas work experience. Of course, for domestic candidates, domestic work experience is not recognized. Specific requirements can be found on the websites of NASBA and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Finally, the problem of distance and time difference.

Guam, Maine, Delaware, California and so on. Are some of the most popular states for domestic candidates. After all, the ultimate goal of textual research is to obtain relevant qualification certification. If there is no clear immigration plan, priority will be given to States with lower thresholds and fewer conditions. On this premise, try to choose a closer state, which can better avoid the problem of "time difference".

For example, there are not a few domestic candidates who apply for Guam every year, mainly because of its superior geographical location, only two hours earlier than China. In terms of time difference, there is not much problem, which also saves the cost of air tickets to a certain extent.

If you also want to achieve better development in the accounting field, and if you also want to have more job choices, it would be a good choice for you to apply for AICPA now.
