Who wants some good news? What kind of miserable jerk doesn’t!?
Last week, we warned anyone scheduled to take the CPA exam that Prometric test center closures were inevitable as a massive snow and ice storm threatened to hit two-thirds of the country. The storm has come and gone and a quick check of Prometric’s closure site yesterday evening showed that 60 centers were still closed across the country as of Tuesday; as of publication time today, it’s down to a little more than a dozen.

There is capacity at all test centers, so impacted candidates should be able to reschedule on their own.
We’re sure some of you will find a way to be salty about this (not an icy sidewalk pun) but as far as we’re concerned, it’s something.
