帮忙扫盲AICPA

PS：国内会计专业本科毕业，现在在Georgia的一所规模不大的学校修会计硕士，之前本科成绩有WES的评估，是136学分，因为学校要补几门本科课程，所以目前只修完一门硕士课程。
Objective：打算留美工作
Question：1. 考试的总成本大概多少？（不包括膳宿）
3,000（Becker) review + 1,000 (exam fees)=4,000 (not including invisible inputs such as study time, stress, frustration, tediousness, etc.)
                2. 平均需要复习多长时间？
1 month per section, (four in total)-but actually prepation time per section depends on individual cases.
                3. 哪个备考材料针对性比较强？
Becker, Wiley, CPAreview, Gleim, etc...Becker is the most popular yet the most costly.
                4. 各州题目是否一致？如果一致，录取率是否有差异？
The exam is uniform. Passing rate should be measured on a nation-wide basis. (not officially confirmed, just based on my personal guessing)
                5. 如何报名？
It's a big question. But in short, you should do your initial application by going to the Board of Accoutancy in a particular state. e.g. BOA CA, BOA Mich, BOA NY...etc. Pls go to http://www.becker.com/accounting/cpaexamreview/ I assure that you'll find everything you need to set up for the exam.
