The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a CPA.

As of 2007, 42 States and the District of Columbia required CPA candidates to complete 150 semester hours of college coursework-an additional 30 hours beyond the usual 4-year bachelor's degree. Several other States have adopted similar legislation that will become effective before 2009. Colorado, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Vermont are the only States that do not have any immediate plans to require the 150 semester hours. In response to this trend, many schools have altered their curricula accordingly, with most programs offering master's degrees as part of the 150 hours. Prospective accounting majors should carefully research accounting curricula and the requirements of any States in which they hope to become licensed.

Who does the best in an MCAT exam between a physics major a chemistry major and a biology major?

It doesn't matter what your major is. An English major could do better than any science major, if they study all the science that will be on the exam. Any exam prep course or book will tell you which information you need to know for the exam. The rest is up to you. As a biology major, I found I had only covered about half of the material on the exam. Also I do badly at physics, but I pulled it up from a 6 to a 13. It just took lots of practice.
