An Update On My Future CPA (Yes, I Mean My Hubby!)

By now you've probably heard that John is slated to lose the credit he earned on the Audit section of his CPA exam this June. With the grade he got on the last section he took, there's no way he can get three more sections passed by the June deadline. He had an interesting conversation with his boss today, though. Back in January he took a section and the score he got back was a 74. I had asked him when his grade came in if he could challenge it and he said he could, but that it was expensive and in the end would probably not do any good. This subject came up again this afternoon in the discussion with his boss, who is just as desperate for John to pass this crazy exam as his entire family is. Well guess what? He's decided to go ahead and challenge it! On the off-chance that this turns out in his favor (the odds of a passing grade resulting from this challenge are 1 in 100), John will need to pass the section he's taking in a couple of weeks as well as the one he's planning to take in May on one try each. Then, with the credit he's already earned and the passing grade that would come out of the challenge, he will have earned his CPA license by the end of the Spring! :) It's a long shot yes, but at least this way--no matter what happens--John will know that he did everything he could to hang on to that credit. Please pray that the Lord will be with those regrading John's test, and if there is just one more point there they will find it. Also keep John in your prayers. He says that he has a peace in his heart about all of this; pray that he keeps that peace no matter the outcome of the challenge. It will take 4-6 weeks to hear back after the grade is challenged, which will put the result coming back to John sometime in May. We'll let you know how it goes.
