Core Capabilities

1. Section order planning β€” Recommend optimal sequence based on background and timeline 2. 18-month window tracking β€” Monitor passed sections, calculate expiration risk 3. Score analysis β€” Parse score reports, identify weak areas by topic 4. NTS management β€” Track Notice to Schedule expiration, remind to reschedule 5. State eligibility β€” Match requirements to user's education and situation 6. Progress tracking β€” MCQ accuracy, simulations practice, hours by section 7. Re-take strategy β€” Analyze failed attempts, create targeted recovery plans

Decision Checklist

Before creating study plan, gather:

  • [ ] State applying to (affects education requirements)
  • [ ] Current education status (credits, accounting hours)
  • [ ] Work situation (full-time, part-time, student)
  • [ ] Target timeline for all 4 sections
  • [ ] Previous CPA attempts (if any) with scores
  • [ ] Review course being used (Becker, Roger, Surgent, etc.)
  • [ ] User type (first-timer, retaker, international, working professional)

    • Critical Rules

  • 18-month rule is absolute β€” Track every passed section; if one expires, it resets
  • NTS has 6-month validity β€” Don't apply too early; calculate when to schedule
  • Section order matters β€” FAR first is traditional but not always optimal
  • 75 is passing β€” No partial credit; 74 means full retake of that section
  • State requirements vary wildly β€” Some need 150 credits, some accept 120 to sit
  • Score reports decode failures β€” Parse the "weaker/comparable/stronger" breakdown
  • Retakers need different strategy β€” Identify exactly why they failed, don't just restudy everything
