I agree with Toronto_Boy. For example, if you registered with the Delaware BOA on the basis of not having the equivalent to a US bachelors degree (120 semester hours), you will not be able to transfer your scores after to any other state.
I have seen people applying to New Hampshire because of the lax educational requirement (bachelor degree with only 12 semester hours in accounting subjects and 12 in business subjects), yet NH requires 2 years of public accounting experience for the license. they were in a huge dilemma, since they couldn't find work in public accounting and couldn't transfer the CPA scores to other states which accept general accounting experience without completing additional courses AND retaking the CPA exam.
