Examination Application
Procedures & Deadlines
You should access the NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) website at
http://www.nasba.org/ and review the material on IQEX.
The USCPA-NOW study materials include a summary of the major points.
However, before you register with USCPA-NOW, there are a few things you must know.
-
You may print a copy of the IQEX application form from the NASBA website and complete it manually. The fee to write IQEX is $835 U.S. payable by Mastercard, Visa or Discover and is to be mailed with your application.
-
You must arrange for a Letter of Good Standing to be sent directly to NASBA by
your Provincial Institute. NASBA must receive it before you are granted
permission to schedule your examination. To be eligible to write IQEX, your
CPA experience requirement must have been completed.
There are no longer any exceptions since the exam is offered throughout the
year. A Notice to Schedule is open for six calendar months.
-
The earlier you apply (and your Letter of Good Standing is submitted)
the greater your chances are of securing the testing date and
location you desire. Testing is administered at Prometric Centers
in Canada and the U.S. A list of testing locations can be found at
http://www.prometric.com/cpa.
Effective July 1, 2020, the IQEX examination is now offered throughout the year.
Please be aware that each Prometric Center
has a limited number of computers and they administer many different kinds
of tests (eg. LSAT, MCAT etc.) simultaneously.
