美国CPA考试：NTS有效期问题

　　由于AICPA考试的NTS的是有效期的，因此考生一定要在报考时间及科目非常确定的情况下再去申请NTS,否则会给考生自己带来精力和金钱上的损失。

　　Boards of accountancy will set a time period for which an NTS is valid （generally six months） during which you must schedule and take the examination section（s）， after which it will expire and all fees will be forfeited. It is strongly suggested that you not apply for a section of the examination until you are ready to take it. If you do not take all sections for which you registered before the NTS expires， you will not be able to extend it or receive a refund of any of the fees you have paid. Please be advised that cancelling an Exam appointment does NOT change the expiration date of your NTS. All jurisdictions have established a six-month NTS validation period， except for the following jurisdictions：

　　Texas 90 days from application date

　　California 9 months from NTS issue date

　　Hawaii 9 months from NTS issue date

　　Louisiana 9 months from NTS issue date

　　Utah 9 months from NTS issue date

　　North Dakota 12 months from NTS issue date

　　South Dakota 12 months from NTS issue date

　　Virginia 12 months from NTS issue date

　　PLEASE NOTE： The Notice to Schedule is valid for one testing event or until the expiration date， whichever is first exhausted for each examination section and will include non-testing months. Once an NTS has expired， you will need to submit a new application， including application and testing fees. Fees submitted for an expired NTS cannot be applied to future examinations. You cannot have more than one open NTS for the same section. You must receive the score or allow the NTS to expire before you can apply for the same section again and receive a new NTS for that section.
