　　The application flow: The application process in CBT for Illinois candidates will incorporate the following steps:

　　• A candidate submits an application and fee(s) to the Illinois Board of Examiners for credentials evaluation (if required) and to be authorized to take one to four different sections of the CPA exam.

　　• Once eligibility to take the examination is determined, an approval letter is sent to the candidate by the Board of Examiners. At the same time, an Authorization To Test (ATT) is sent to the National Candidate Database maintained by NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy). The Authorization To Test will be valid for 90 days: candidates must pay examination fees as described in the following paragraph within 90 days of the date of issue of the ATT. You may receive information from NASBA before you receive our approval letter.

　　• After NASBA receives the Board’s Authorization To Test, NASBA contacts the candidate to request additional fees for grading, computer test (seat) time, digital photo or biometric thumb print at the test center and their processing fee. That payment coupon will state the amount of examination fees to be paid by the candidate and method of payment based upon the sections the candidate has been authorized to take. You will be required to pay the full amount for all parts approved in the Authorization to Test. For example, if your Authorization to Test was for four exam parts, you must pay the full fee for four parts. You cannot pay individually by test part.

　　• To assure that you receive email from NASBA, we suggest that you put the following email addresses in your address book: cbtpayment@nasba.org and cpaexam@nasba.org . This hopefully will prevent spam blocking software from preventing receipt of their emails.

　　• Once correct fees are received from the candidate, NASBA issues a Notice to Schedule (NTS) to the candidate and also informs the Board of Examiners. The candidate is instructed to contact the Prometric Testing Center to schedule a day and time for testing for each section. The Notice to Schedule (NTS) is valid for six months from the date of issue. This means that the candidate must schedule and take all sections that were uthorized within six months of the NTS issue date.
