I got home from dropping Cameron off at Bethany this morning in time to wake Cal up and get him breakfast before he had to leave for Indianapolis. He had the first round of the CPA this afternoon and he wanted to be early just in case there was a problem. I worried all morning about him. I wasn't concerned about whether he passed the test or not, but that everything went well on the drive and getting into the exam. I could still remember Doug taking the test almost thirty years ago and I knew what a big deal it was.
Thankfully, Cal arrived without any problems and was able to get started right away. He had four hours to finish the exam and he said that he was about 50-50 on whether he thought he passed it or not. He thought some parts were harder than others. He also said that even if he didn't pass it, he would at least have an idea of what it looked like for the next round. Unlike Doug, Cal only had to take each section one at a time. Thus, he could devote all of his studying to one area of accounting. Doug had to take all four sections over a two day period. Then if he passed two or more he would only have to take the sections he missed. Fortunately, Doug passed the CPA the first time and didn't have to worry about it again. I know that Cal will do well. He has put a lot of effort into it. The next section will not be until October 30th. He said that it will be an easier test, so hopefully he will have passed two sections by Halloween.
