Let me be the first to say that I really don't have any special insight about score releases. I do however know a few numbers at NASBA that have proven to be reliable (which I will call when the time is right) and I also know what they have done in the past to use as a benchmark.
With that said, the AICPA released fewer than 50% of the Wave 1 scores last month when I thought they would release close to 75%, so take everything with a grain of salt.
During the last wave, I correctly predicted the NASBA release for REG and FAR…I was off on AUD and BEC is the engine that gets the whole thing moving.
Here are my predictions for the Oct/Nov 2008 Wave 2 (NASBA) release…
- BEC Oct/Nov **2007** Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/14
- BEC Jul/AUG Wave 2 release: 9/15 (Monday)
- BEC Oct/Nov Wave 2 release prediction: 12/15 (Monday)
- BEC Actual Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/16 (Tuesday)
- BEC Actual Wave 2 release (NASBA): 12/17 (Wednesday)
- REG Oct/Nov **2007** Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/18
- REG Jul/AUG Wave 2 release: 9/16 (Tuesday)
- REG Oct/Nov Wave 2 release prediction 12/16 (Tuesday)
- REG Actual Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/17 (Wednesday)
- REG Actual Wave 2 release (NASBA): 12/18 (Thursday)
- AUD Oct/Nov **2007** Wave 2 release: 12/19 (Wednesday)
- AUD Jul/AUG Wave 2 release: 9/18 (Thursday)
- AUD Oct/Nov Wave 2 release prediction: 12/18 (Thursday)
- AUD Actual Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/18 (Thursday)
- AUD Actual Wave 2 release (NASBA): 12/19 (Friday)
- FAR Oct/Nov **2007** Wave 2 release: 12/22 (Saturday)
- FAR Jul/AUG Wave 2 release: 9/22 (Monday)
- FAR Oct/Nov Wave 2 release prediction: 12/22 (Monday)
- FAR Actual Wave 2 release (IL BOA): 12/19 (Friday)
- FAR Actual Wave 2 release (NASBA): 12/22 (Monday)
Good luck everyone.

Hi I am new so dont mind my question bc you have probably answered a million times. Why cant BEC be released sooner being it is multiple choice?
By the way, great site, and congrats!
Why cant BEC be released sooner being it is multiple choice?
If you can find the answer to that - be sure to let me know :/
man, i hope you're right. reg is my last test, and i really, really, really would love my score soon.
I just took a look on cpanet.com. It looks like last year scores were coming in at the end of December for REG, at least in TX... https://www.cpanet.com/cpa_forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15190&PN=58
I can't believe they charge so much for this test! It is almost as bad as studying everyday! Waiting around & craming for the next battle...err
Why can't you have the option of paying a lifetime fee for unlimited test?
The AICPA finally got back to me about the wave 1 score release being so thin, and they kind of hinted that they needed a larger sample to evaluate certain "pre-test" multiple choice questions and/or simulations.
Which makes me feel better about the bogus sim i got. Next week will either be amazing or miserable since i'll get both REG and AUD back. Either way i still got FAR first week of jan which is going to be hell... bah humbug
I just spoke to my Colorado coordinator and she said that they are still getting Wave 1 scores for Reg in Colorado State. Seriously, I don't even care what she says, I'll just wait till next week for wave 2.
Even though BEC is all multiple choice, they don't just grade your exam based on the percentage you got right. There are questions that don't count because they are just testing them out to see if they want to use them on future exams as real questions. I beleive each question is weighted based upon its difficulty (as judged by the test-makers) and based upon how many people got it correct/incorrect. Hope that helps explain why they TORTURE us with the waiting.
I'm waiting for scores on my last section, which I took 10/10. Apparently I didn't make it into the first wave. So if the predictions on here are correct, I will find out on 12/22 because I am waiting for FAR. So, if I find out that I failed, and I want to retake it in early January (before busy season really starts), then they are giving me 1-2 weeks to get a new NTS and restudy! I do have until May before I lose a section, however, the sooner the better because its still fresh in my mind. This is horrible.
waiting for two early Christmas presents next week...FAR and AUD scores...
I'm hoping for a Christmas present too. I suffered through a 12 week wait for my AUD score last wave, but somehow I thought this wave I'd have more luck. If the scores come out next week, it would only be 6 weeks for REG. But despite taking 2 exam early in the testing window, I have yet to receive an early score release. I too was hoping to restudy if needed before the onset of busy season. Oh well.
another 71,
If i want my score released with the first wave results,by what day/date of the month should i sit for the exam?
If i want my score released with the first wave results,by what day/date of the month should i sit for the exam?
Nothing is guaranteed (many fuming candidates who sat in October are still waiting for their scores), but in order to even be eligible for Wave 1 consideration, you must sit by the 7th day of the 2nd month in the window...in the case of the Oct/Nov window...this was November 7.
I took FAR November 4 and got my score in Wave 1. My co-worker took FAR October 3rd or so and is still waiting.
Not sure if this will help or not (I live in Alaska), but I took REG last year on Nov. 30th (give or take a day), and I did not receive my results until 12/25 (a 76, it was the best X-mas present EVER). However, it kind of set me up for failure b/c I thought I could get away w/ the same level, or lack there of, of effort and get a passing score for the remaining sections.
I was so grateful when I found your site another71, but I almost thought I was going to have to start a "sister" site called Another73 due to back-to-back 73's for BEC also. In my opinion it is the most miserable of the 4 sections b/c of the amount of material crammed into 90 questions. What is that??? It's like 7 of my college classes in one exam!!!!! I did finally pass w/ an 80 (took 10/29, got score 11/19), and now I'm waiting on AUD results (took it on 11/13) and FAR will be in Jan. (repeats for both).
I have told ALL of my friends about your blog site. Most of us work at a "Big Four" and it sucks when you are around people who say, "I only studied for BEC for one week and passed w/ a 75." (note to self, find nearest flight of stairs and push him down them). All the while I am struggling to stay sane through busy season, study for and pass each section. So I was thankful to find someone, someone w/ a "real" life and "real" responsibilities (i.e. not just which bars to hit over the weekend) who was having the same struggle as myself. So, thank you very much for putting yourself out there and sharing your experiences!!!!
Go Team CPA!!!!!! :-)
judgement day for BEC
Here we go again, no BEC in FL!!!!
no bec in ny
no BEC in PA
So if scores are not posted first thing in the morning, does that mean scores will not be available that day?
No BEC in MA
call your little birdie! (please) haha
No BEC in GA
What time does NASBA open? This is my first exam and it is killing me!!
BEC 11/12 in GA!!
same here..but dont forget there were 'predictions'..they werent fact...but now its killin me
I know but I did see somewhere else they they usually come out "around" the 15th. But if they are not posted this morning I wonder when during the day they post. I am so scared!!
wait, can they post anytime during the day??? or is it true they only post overnight?
At anytime in VA. I called one day and they said my REG score was not received in the first wave...I checked the following day (proving that I am insane) and the score was posted.
I am waiting for FAR and then I AM DONE....
I just called NASBA. The rep said they post all through the day but couldn't tell me anything else. They are going to have to replace the F5 key on my keyboard before this is over!!!
so basically...theres a good chance that BEC will be up today..but to cover their butts they wont actually say it?
Is the NASBA site running slow for anyone else? Could they be updating?
BEC won't show up on NASBA until tomorrow morning...they have an overnight process to run. If IL and CA come out this afternoon, then NASBA will be out tomorrow...I'll call later on to see if scores are in for BEC.
I called NASBA this morning and talked to the Kentucky Rep. I was told that if I had not received my score yet I would not get it until the end of December to mid January. Is there a better number to call at NASBA? Does anyone know?
so Reg is up for tomorrow... I've been waiting almost two months now for it (Colorado state)
If I receive my scores through my state board an not directly from NASB does this delay me receiving my score by a day?
If I receive my scores through my state board an not directly from NASB does this delay me receiving my score by a day?
No - in theory you should get it sooner. The AICPA releases the scores...NASBA and the state boards get them at the same time.
As for REG...I'm guessing since BEC is a day later than I thought...I guess REG will be as well. The predictions were based on the past...it's not perfect I guess. It sucks for everyone waiting, that's for sure.
The Illinois Board of Examiners has on their site this quote. "We anticipate receiving our first group of scores in the second release December 15, 2008."
Maybe there is still hope for today.
arrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh. hurry up, BEC, so that REG will show up........
NASBA keeps on dying on me, Its dead slow I hope they are updating it.
Has any state released?
Nothing in WI waiting on Reg (oct 6th) and FAR (Nov. 23rd ish)
Dan
Nothing in NYC. FAR oct 1 and AUD nov 20
no bec in oh
nasba site is down. What gives?
No BEC or FAR STILL in CALI...
no FAR in CO (oct 8th) omg!!! freaking out here!!!
so wait, can or cant they post during the day...mr71 said they cant....nasba said they can! ahhhh
They're not going to release them during the day (NASBA that is)...I promise.
ok, thank you! fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!
VA did receive any scores as of yet....
"nasba site is down. What gives?"
CPANet forums down too!...AHHH all future CPAs going crazy!
...no REG or AUD in MI yet
Another71...please call your little birdies.
Another71...please call your little birdies.
I did...they asked for my state and last name (to look up my score)...uhhh...uhhh (click).
That's funny...
im tempted to call and ask but i dont want to anger anyone
omg, you pranked your little birdie. that is hilarious! umm, i can totally email you my last name and state. just say the word!!
lookin for a little advice...taking REG right away in january and waiting for my BEC score is starting to distract me way too much..anyone w advice?
If one of your BEC candidates e-mails me I'll give you the info so that you can spread the word
I just called NASBA. The rep said as far as the second wave of scores, they will post by the end of December. When they receive the scores they post withing 24 hours. So they could we could possible check at any time during the day and they could be there. But according to her they HAVE NOT received the second wave.
i just emailed ya, haha....why are you not allowed to say it on here? legal reasons?
i really think NASBA wont say anything...because if they say the grade will be out by a certain time and then it is not then they wont hear tyhe end..so saying end of December is their safety net ya knoew?
what the heck? is cpanet.com down for everyone? or just me?
Its down for me too!
down
i just think it is inexcusable for BEC grades to take so much time to come out, pre-tets questions or not...case closed
Why cant this be more like the GMAT and tell you the general vacinity of your score. Usually the score you get after taking the GMAT is the same or very close to the official score.
Called CA board of accountancy. Std response - scores to be released by end of Dec. AICPA has not sent the scores yet. Afterwards she said keep checking your client account. If scores are not released by 12:00 pm afternoon, check your client account the next day. Hope this helps.
I am frustrated. I want to concentrate on REG. Cannot focus. This is torture.....
Why CPAnet is down? Is there any link between NASBA and CPANet?
There's no connection that I'm aware of...probably just server issues.
Jeff ~ do you have an idea why this is taking so long? Has this happened to you in the past?
Jeff ~ do you have an idea why this is taking so long? Has this happened to you in the past?
Oh yeah - it's normal. I thought the 15th would be best-case scenario...with the delays from Wave 1, it could push everything back a day or so.
Does anyone know if the information on OASIS on the NASBA site updates at the same time or possibly before the score information?
People relax.. whats one more day?
I mean it's not like I didnt have the most fun in the world checking every hour on the hour since 3 A.M. this morning and playing poker on the iphone in between hours.. I would love to spend another night like that ! ! !
Oh and did anyone else have dreams about what score they recived? I had about 4 different ones and in 1 of the 4 I passed... not a good sign.. Jeff you have this experience too? Or were you numbed down by the 18th attempt at passing?
For what it counts, NY says on the phone they did not yet receive the AICPA scores in order to post...
Jeff you have this experience too? Or were you numbed down by the 18th attempt at passing?
Come on now...it was only 14... (reminds me of Tommy Boy..."people take 14 times to pass the CPA exam" ... "yeah, they're called _____" ... :/
The 14th time was as sleepless as the first time.
as in for everything or just BEC......and do we think they say that to cover themselves??? because if they said they have it then they no people will just keep calling for grades ya know?
I dreamt I refreshed and saw a 21. Then everytime I hit refresh after that there was a different score posted.
NASBA site is slowly returning to life as people realize....no scores today. However, no such explanation for the failure of the forum on CPANET. What gives?
This may be a dumb question but where should I look on the NASBA website to find the scores once they post them?
Go to the CPA Exam link...choose your jurisdiction...then go to the scores tab...you will need your birthdate and section ID
as in for everything or just BEC......and do we think they say that to cover themselves??? because if they said they have it then they no people will just keep calling for grades ya know?
Just for BEC
I really just want to find out how I did on AUD before Christmas. If I passed, it was my last one; if not, then I'd like to take it again in early January and have some time off at the end of December that I could study. I just wish they would let us know!
I agree with Jeff if he deleted your comment. This is not the forum. You could ruin it for all of us.
NASBA rep in PA said scores could be released after 7:00PM so it is not only in the morning. He made no reference ot when this wave would be released. See you all after 7!!
My purpose is not to ruin this or any other forum..just to express my despair, anger and frustration for not knowing my score 8-weeks after taking the exam. If this is considered as crime, I will gladly accept any outcome.
I'm with you on the frustration. I've lost a year of my life and I believe it is simply a revenue generating scheme. The AICPA is sensitive.
Nothing in Floida yet. Hopefully tomorrow. I am tired of waking up at 5am wondering if the scores are up yet! And yes, I dream about it too...
According the ILBOA, the AICPA hasn't released any scores and hope to release BEC this week. You can see the notice posted here:
https://www.ilboa.org/files/scorerelease.pdf
so basically BEC people will be lucky to get it this week, other 3 tests are basically assured of next week
IL BOA updated...they hope to have them by the 17th...yikes...that means NASBA by the 18th.

Re: deletion
Another71...I understand your point and I was not trying to make comparison literally...Well, so be it.
< vent> This is seriously unbelievable. It's not looking like there's any chance I'll get my Reg score that I took almost 9 weeks ago this week. That leaves me with a whopping 10 days to re-study if I failed before busy season begins and my FAR score expires. I don't understand why this is taking so long!! < /vent>
I was not trying to make comparison literally...Well, so be it.
No worries...I didn't figure that anyone would notice :)
I have dreams as well. I'm waiting on REG, and so far I had 2 dreams that I got a 73, and one that I got a 79. Needless to say, I didn't want to wake up from the 79 dream!
Michael, that is so much BS, that is exactly why the system is terrible. Theres no way you couldve expected to wait that long.
Ive had dreams about scores just about every night for the last month, since i should have REG and BEC coming my way...my worst in the dream was an 11.
In a related matter, has anyone seen someone get a score worse than a 50?
This is pure torture. I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one going crazy. I think I will seriously need therapy...lol...just kidding. I am waiting for AUD 11/15(this is my first exam). I can't imagine doing this for another 3 parts! Still no scores in Florida.
I also noticed how IL indicated that they are expecting to receive the scores a little later than expected.
Oh, and yes, I have those wierd dreams too. I've had several where I've failed and several where I've passed. Each time I've had a passing dream it has always been a 77. I would be very satisfied with that! Perhaps I keep dreaming 77 for a reason. Gooooooo 77!
Still waiting on BEC in TX. I'm hoping they will be posted in the morning! I'm sick of checking every 2 hours...UGH!
Anonymous looking for BEC in TX-
I can save you the pain. Your score will not be there tomorrow. IL is not expecing any BEC scores until Wednesday at the earliest. I am pretty sure that means TX will not have its scores until then (or later) either.
RE: BEC in TX
Thanks for the info. It will save me the agony of continuous checks tomorrow. I hope it comes in on Wed. then.
JEFF ? I WILL TALK FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO WRITE ON YOUR BLOG ?

SEEING THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH WHAT I AM GOING; HELPS A LOT!!!!! WE ALL ARE TOTALLY FRUSTRATED AND BURNED OUT!!! IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS THE FIRST OR LAST EXAM!!!
I AM STILL WAITING ON FAR SCORE AND KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT; JUST WAIT?IT STILL DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! IT IS MY LAST EXAM!!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE STILL WAITING ON SCORES AND TAKING ANYTHING!!!
EJ
I fully agree!!! This is my first exam and I just found the blog a couple of days ago. This site gives me more hope and strength through all of this. Thank you so much, Jeff. And thanks to everyone else who helps us all keep it going!!
BEC IS UP IN VIRGINIA!!! 89!!!!
nothing in MA
nothing in FL
Nothing in GA
CONGRATS JEFF!!!
IL scores out. 70 on BEC. Goddammit
so if IL scores are out, does that mean today or tomorrow definitly
Anyone have anything posted on NASBA yet???
Seriouly I don't know how much longer I can wait. I am in MA and I took FAR on October 6th and BEC on November 8th. Haven't gotten any scores yet!!! I am going nuts...
no scores in oh
No REG scores for New Hampshire. Maybe the 22nd??? What do you think? Do we keep checking every day or would you recommend waiting until the 22nd?
i think you have to wait for BEC to come out before anything. If it is true that BEC is out in IL, then the ball is officially rolling...
I graduate with my masters tomorrow! I REALLY NEED TO FIND OUT MY SCORE TODAY!!! My husband does not want me to check at all tomorrow in case it is bad news. Problem is I am obsessed and don't know if I can go the whole day without checking. NASBA PLEASE POST THE SCORES TODAY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Ok, has anyone else taken BEC in IL and gotten their scores? I don't see how someone would claim to have received their score while ILBOA posted that they have NOT received any scores for the second wave...
They posted that early yesterday and it is a PDF. They could have gotten them since the time they posted that.
Someone on CPANET said they passed in CA
No scores for REG in Mich
No BEC or FAR in MA.
No BEC in MI yet.
CA released scores for BEC today. I passed. Thank God!!!
How do you check out scores for Michigan? Do you have to wait for Nasba to post it?
Any word from NASBA about when MA scores will be available?
Yes, Michigan is a NASBA-released state. Not only that, but the Michigan coordinator is out of the office and returning either today or tomorrow. For those of you who don't know this, the "customer service representatives" will only tell you that scores will be released at the end of the month or the beginning of January, depending on when in the window they were taken. She says that is when they "always" release scores, even though I mentioned that I knew that last year scores were released between the 15th-22nd. "Well, we just don't know what's gonna happen." If you want any better answers, you have to ask to speak to your states' coordinator. I happened to get the e-mail address for mine from his voicemail once when he didn't pick up (and got an auto-reply when I e-mailed him yesterday that said he was out of the office through today). He seems to be the most competent person I've ever spoken to at NASBA - he's the Tennessee/Michigan coordinator and e-mailed me on 12/3 that they hoped to receive 2nd wave around 12/15 (obviously didn't come true, but still... more truthful answer than the CSRs give!). Hmm, maybe his being out of the office has broken the entire system. Conspiracy theory time!
I gave audit on 11/22, and this being my first test from SC state board my anxiety levels are at the highest. Anyone here from SC? When can we expect Aud to come out?
Thanks for the the Michigan info - cant concentrate on Reg with all the excitement/nervousness with BEC result!
The Mich/Tenn coordinater told me 18th-23rd
Will keep on checking anyways!
FYA- MA scores
BEC scores for MA are in (Nasba will post later today or tomorrow morning).
FAR will be later this week or early next week
BEC is out in WA
anyone know when the scores will be out in NY??
BEC is out in KY, I got a 78 whoo-whoo!!!
Thank you!!!
anybody got NY info for BEC????
I heard NY takes longer! i am hoping by tommorrow
everything everybody says gets contradicted on here haha so keep the hope for today!!!
No scores for Utah.
has anybody emailed NASBA for ny grades?
Can anybody find out about REG marks in Colorado? I gave it in mid October, its almost two months now.
Any one got BEC score for DE
Anyone got BEC Scores for MD?
95% of BEC in Illinois have been posted as of this morning (I received bad news :( ), good luck to all!
When,NASBA will post the resuts
Any word on GA?
3rd time is a charm for BEC in CA! I PASSED WITH A 76!!!!!!!!! (still haven't found out about Reg that I took 5 weeks earlier in Oct)
Now that I know MA BEC will be out later today or tomorrow, I find myself refreshing the NASBA page like every 5 seconds. This is going to be a long day.
I have this blog, CPANET, the NASBA page, and the NASBA OASIS page open refreshing all 4 every 5 seconds or so. Plus I am supposed to be working. VERY LONG DAY!!
Any Reg scores in Texas yet? I took the exam on Oct 31 and no score yet.
Will someone answer whether scores on NASBA are released during the day or...if i dont see it in the morning i have to wait until tomorrow. I cant get any work done refreshing this page all the time.
Depends on who you ask...
Has anyone contacted NY to see if scores were received?
how do you contact NY?
BEC is out in California! I got an 88 WHEE!!! 2 down!!! Hope I get my Reg score back soon!
nope, doesnt work for NY email
on CPANET someone is saying that thier friend in NC received a REG score. Anyone else received a REG score?
Is anyone else's NASBA down?
I cannot open the NASBA site, it says the server is buzy
If the NASBA site is down it probably means they are uploading scores currently. They should be on our way....ugh
Not to rain (snow) on any parades, but even if they do upload the scores - they won't show up until tomorrow AM...they have to run an overnight process.
AUD score anyone? Tomorrow? When will this waiting end? Butterflies in my stomach won't let me leave the restroom! LOL!!!!
BEC scores have been post in CA through www.cba.ca.gov
Any update on NASBA score???
i am going with mr 71, but did anyone get a response from ny or at least have a valid email lol
No FAR in FL.
My scores have previously been available on NASBA website the day after CA release for that section.
So what is the earliest we should see it on NASBA tomorrow?
So what is the earliest we should see it on NASBA tomorrow?
When I received my FAR score this window, it wasn't there at 4:30am (CST) (yes...I couldn't sleep and was up...glad those days are over), but when I checked again at 4:37am...it was there. This is in line with previous score release experiences as well.
I tend to have nightmares that I scored a 50 and people were shaking their heads as if to say "not again...sigh..." which startles me and I jump up to check my laptop...at 2am...3:30am...4:30am...it's an illness.
Mine (6 so far) ranged from early morning to late afternoon.
NASBA ppl any update or we have to wait till tomorrow
i thought it was previously discussed that scores in the second wave did not mean they were very close to passing or failing, yet this was on the Illinois NASBA release
"For AUD, FAR and REG, the usual first release of each of those sections is large
(70+%) and the final release contains those exams close to the cut score that are being
reviewed a second time for scoring accuracy."
This is Merry Christmas the NASBA way!!!
My interpretation of the "final release" the IL Board is talking about is the second release of scores released during the "second wave." For example, only 95% of BEC scores were released today. The remaining 5% may come out anytime between now and January 15.
When I first read it, I took it to mean your interpretation. But if you read the wording closely, it appears that there are multiple released in the second wave. As a matter of fact, there were multiple releases in the first wave. You may recall, IL received 2 scores one day for REG. Furthermore, AUD scores came out over a few days, with the majority released on the first day.
BEC scores for California have been released as advisory.
It's a old news, update about NASBA release
your score isnt necessarily close if it comes out in the second window. but, you know how ilboa said 95% of bec are in? those last 5% are probably close to the cutoff. so for AUD, FAR, and REG, the first big chunks that come in are not super close and the ones that come out later in small pieces are probably closer to the cutoff.
I took audit the end of july and when scores starting coming out in august, mine wasnt out. then when the few trickled in at the end of august, mine was there and it was quite close to the cutoff.
does that explain it?
my head hurts
When I got my last 74 on REG - my score didn't come out with everyone else. It trickled in about 5 days later...I was on the bubble and I assume that the extra 5 days was spent re-grading it (they better have been regrading it...)
any one got REC score from CO today?
Are REG scores up in CA?
Nope...I'm waiting on the REG score in CA as well.
You have to give them a sob story about this being the 8th time you've take it and you need jjjuuuussssttt a hint.
or...tell them that you need to start studying for FAR or something if you passed and re-study for this exam (BEC) if you failed.
(awkward pause...wait for it...wait for it...)
"I think you can go ahead and start on FAR" = you passed
"Just check tomorrow...sorry" = you failed
hahaha i would have reached thru the phone and jacked the guy against the wall
I'm waiting for BEC in NY... does anybody have any insight on when they will be up?
I want my REG score...that's all I want for Christmas. lol.

oh man, heres a thought... they should just develop a system where you get a text message when your score is available online - maybe give everyone a little peace of mind - this is worse than waiting for Santa as a child
no bc that time can be spent getting the grades up sooner hahah...but they could hire new people and reduce unemployment????? youre onto something!
how do you find out your jurisdiction number/does anyone have one for south carolina??
reg is out in ny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow...mr 71..ban that person, totally uncalled for, tool
Nothing in Oregon. Another 11am mail delivery come and gone...
Still waiting for Reg and Far in SC
Jeff,
If I didnt recieve the BEC score today, does that now mean I wont get it till the end of December? I know the IL board said 95%..is that 95% for all states, or just IL?
Also, do you think I will have to wait for Oct FAR/REG tests taken till potentially as late as Jan 15th?
Please let me know. And of course, thank you SO much for this fantastic blog..
Has anyone figured out where to get the jurisdiction ID from? I am looking for NY's.
Currently, we are awaiting scores from the testing window that you participated in recently. The AICPA has to wait for a certain percentage of candidates to be received in order to calibrate their scoring process for that section.
Beginning with the Oct/Nov 2006 testing window, New York State Education Department changed its regulations to allow the release of numeric scores on any examination from Computer-Based Testing. Scores are released at random and will arrive via US mail per the schedule below.
You may view your numeric score online at www.nasba.org.
From there click "Exams"
Then "CPA Exam"
Select NY on the drop-down box
Click "Scores"
On the right hand side you will enter your Section ID number and Date of Birth. If you receive a message: "Error: Score not found" You have entered information incorrectly or the score from the most recent testing window has not been reported yet.
Beginning with the July/August 2005 testing window, scores will be reported by the AICPA to NASBA in two waves on an accelerated schedule. This means that candidates who test in the first month of a testing window may qualify for earlier receipt of scores, depending on the examination content administered to them, the examination volume and the distribution of examinees within the testing window. Given these factors, it is impossible to tell in advance which candidates and how many will qualify for early score receipt. After the AICPA releases scores to NASBA, NASBA processes them and forwards them to boards of accountancy for approval and release to candidates. Boards of accountancy determine the actual score reporting schedule. Candidates should note, however, that FROM NOW ON, SCORES MAY NO LONGER BE REPORTED ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
thats the email i got for NY....i think he thought i meant get it mailed....that agrees with what weve heard, that theyre getting scores n uploading, right?
and like i said 100 times, they will rarely say they have it to cover their butts
True. I had one rep tell me they had my score and 2 tell me they didn't.
OASIS page is your Application status:
https://nasba.org/nasbaweb/OACPA.nsf/UL?openform
My Oasis page says my NTS will be issued within 72 hrs??? I already taken the fricking exam, what they mean NTS to be issued within 72 hours???
haha dont worry about it, idk why anyone is even checking that site
I am getting crazy and I cant sleep very well anymore. It has been already two months since I have taken FAR exam and still no score !
Anyone know how to contact a NJ rep?
You can call and ask for the NJ rep.
Another71, given that scores sent directly to state boards for the BEC section were received today. Do you think that those states will most likely receive REG scores tomorrow, or do you think they will not be received till Thursday?

Well, I predicted REG to come out the day after BEC (Monday...then Tuesday), so I'll stick with the states getting REG tomorrow with NASBA releasing BEC and REG Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Watch - FAR will come out tomorrow and throw the whole world into chaos.
BEC scores in CA
Someone posted above the following: "Everything is being uploaded and a batch will process this evening. Everything should be posted by 7:00 pm CST." Does that mean that the NASBA site will be updated this evening? Is the site only updted in the mornings?
I really hope REG comes out next it has been 9 weeks since I took the exam and if I pass it I am done, except for the ethics exam of course, so the suspense is killing me
Just called the number for the NY rep - he told me "I have some good news coming my way" and never hesitated in doing so. They wont give you a number but they tell you if you passed. Please note this was for BEC only. I dont think they have the other ones in yet. This means i am officially D-O-N-E with this mother f-ing test!!!!
Another71, you are correct that the 2nd wave for REG is coming out today. (Confirmed with BOA) In my state, scores directly go to our accounts. So info you receive online is the same as theirs. No way of telling otherwise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
what state are you in? they told you reg is coming out for sure tomorrow??
(sorry how anxiety ridden do those questions sound? :) )
Scores come out starting today was what I was told. I am in CA.
Took REG in CA on Nov 7. Haven't heard anything yet. Any updates?
what is the number for the NJ rep
I just had a rep tell me they should be posted after 7 too.
What states are you jokers talking about. This is a national forum.
"After 7pm" ... as in 4:30am the next morning is after 7pm.
They won't release scores tonight...never have (and I've been told that scores would be released after 7pm before as well...always show up the next morning).
never take this site down...it is making me feel a little better knowing im not the only one panicking
what are the NY reg predictions?
Thanks
just a word to the wise..mr 71 seems to know what hes talkin about...ESPECIALLY if youre studying for another part, just check tomorrow morning instead of refreshing all night long
Anyone have an extension for the NY rep?
I emailed the NY rep he replied:We just received your BEC score on 12/16/08.
You may want to wait for a couple of days to view your score on-line.
Does this mean i failed because he didnt say i would be getting good news?
which rep did you email and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
For what it's worth - even though I KNOW scores don't come out in the evening...I still checked every 15 minutes when I was waiting for FAR. :)
They have been telling me that too. Everyone sees my score and tells me I have to wait, or they can mail it to me, but that they can't tell me anything. I am trying not to read too much into it but...
Yea, I just called and he told me the same thing, he can't release that information over the phone and to wait a couple of days. SO ANNOYING
yea but by now they might just be getting sick and tired of people calling, theyre prolly playing solitare when they say that
Yeah... I would have felt better if they responded "you should look forward to some good news"
and maybe the guy sayin 'good news' is sick of it so just saying that....now there are not too many more things more messed up than that, but still
I never heard of Oasis? And what the heck is jurisdiction number? I sit the same as section ID?
When i log on to oasis with my section id it says "jurisdiction id not found". On the other hand when i log on to nasba page where you can check your scores, it says "Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit." I am not sure if i am doing it right? This was my first test... can someone here help me figure this darn thing out?
Still waiting for REG (11/29/2008) CA.
Anyone from CA got REG yet?
Ok, just talked to my representative of SC state board, and she said my aud scores are not in the batch they just received and are posting. But they are constantly getting scores and she can't tell which batch my scores will come in. What does that mean??????
It means she doesn't want to tell you anything. I have had that several times in between people telling me they do see my score.
I love lamp.
I just dont get if they have the number in front of them why they cant tell you what it is or if you passed or not? "you might want to cheack your grade online in a couple of days" well obviously im gonna have to check it in a couple of days if you are not going to tell me
is the IL updates only accessible for IL people or is it available for everyone?
Can some1 from IL keep us posted on the updates?!?!
IL BOA is available to anyone...
https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/files/scorerelease.pdf
Is it possible that the score release will be delayed until after the holidays? If so, then God officially hates me.
Does anyone have a BEC from NASBA yet? Someone on CPANET apparently does.
Does anyone know if NASBA releases Virginia scores on its website, or would one have to go the Virginia Board of Accountancy to get scores?
I think it is the VA BOA
The people who have their scores tonight got theirs from their state BOA I think...
https://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/OACPA.nsf/UL?OpenForm&err=juris
I am trying for myself. I am from TX but I am not sure if it will allow for TX cand. Is jurisdiction ID number and control number are same .
I hope CPAnet people are not faking. Where is my score then ?
So far nobody has FAR score, I think. Please do let us know if you hapended to know.
What is sleep?
I am waiting for FAR and AUD and I know it is not going to be tomorrow (TX). Still I am checking every 5 minutes. Now I know why people get addicted on things. I will never look any body down becuase they are addicted to things
Me too. I am waiting for BEC. I check every minute or so.
The message on OASIS finally changed. "The section(s) of your NTS have been attended and scored. The score(s) reported generated a notice to be mailed to you. If you do not receive your notice via US Mail within 10 business days, please contact our office at 1-866-MY-NASBA." Before it was saying the scores had not been received. I guess something is processing. Now if the score would just show up!!
How do we get jurisdiction id?
where did you find jurisdiction Id.
It is on previous score reports, and a NASBA rep gave it to me shortly after I first applied.
can you check for any state ? My state post their own score , not NASBA. Please say yes and tell us secret to get in
i think office is closed now, i need to know before i go to bed so thst i can sleep. I have the initial application, does that do
Are you waiting for BEC?
Jurisdiction ID is on your score report, if you have an old one. However, when I enter mine it says "All or some sections of your NTS have been attended but scores have not been received."
I have sat for all 4 parts since August, and I have 2 scores, so it is not that accurate. Not as exciting as I thought it would be!
That is what mine said until this evening.
This is on CPANET...
MI Update - Alan Cantrell the MI NASBA rep told me they received the 2nd wave of BEC scores this afternoon and will be posted tomorrow (12/17), and they will receive the other sections throughout this week. He said sometimes they come daily and sometimes everyother day, but hopes to have the majority of all sections by the end of this week.
Has anyone ever noticed the font change on the NASBA website, where it says "error score not found"? it seems to get bigger and bolder.....
I think it changes with some refreshes. I think it is a loading error.
I need some passing scores!!
I know!
Before this is over I am going to need a new F5 key!
I already replaced twice F5 key. I need to submitt to AICPA for reimbursemnt.
We need an external wireless button.
So are we checking scores all through the night? Will any be up after midnight?
I am about to start napping for about 30 min at a time. If I can. I will probably be up all night. I am insane!!!
Its not only you... we are bunch of addicts here!
As soon as I wake up (5:45am), I will be heading straight to the PC to check my scores. I am so hoping that I will not be dissappointed!
Eric in TX
are we only expecting BEC to be up tomorrow on NASBA? I'm waiting for REG =(
Thanks for trying!!
OASIS link - Google NASBA - CPA exam - NM or NY or .. - click on MY application
Eric, what score you waiting for
Kris TX
There is rumor of REG score being out in CPAnet. Can anybody think it is really out
Eric, TX post at 3.30 in case you like to find out early
Got BEC score ( CA ).. failed for the 3rd time. I feel dumber by the day
Should I start on AUD or REG, which one is EASIER ??? I need a 75 :(((
C'mon REG, c'mon REG, c'mon REG...
I'm in Cali and I think if I say those words over and over again, maybe it'll speed up the process :)
Alright, it's almost 12:30 am. I will log-off for now and get some sleep (if I can, I will try anyway).
See you folks in say... 4 hours? (Nasba's update get posted by 4:30 am right?)
Its 3am, still no result
just got my BEC result through nasba 5 mins agao. it is great news!!!!!!
I really love this blog and some of your comments;
it is worse than waiting for Santa as a child
if I do not get my score before Holidays ? God really hates me?
and I agree with them?
REALLY FREAKING OUT HERE!!!

I am in NJ and I have my score for BEC. 83!!! One down, three more to go!

BEC is out in Michigan! Passed with a 91! I'm done with the CPA exam...kind surreal :) Good luck to everybody, and thank you Jeff for your blog!
BEC is out in MA! Finally done with this exam! So excited! Thanks for keeping me sane another71!
MA BEC has been posted!!!!
Are any of you from MA waiting for any other exam? I'm waiting on AUD and the wait is driving me crazy! Congrats to you who is done with the exam. AUD is my last one so I'm hoping for the best. Good Luck to the others still waiting or taking the test.
still waiting on REG and AUD in FL...seems like a lot of BEC is out this morn, so hopefully mine will follow soon...good luck everyone!
got bec score in ny!
BEC in NH. 76, just enough
has anyone received their BEC score in PA???
87 on BEC in TN!!!!!!!!!
why have i not received my BEC for NY? i took it nov 15th? anybody ???
Got BEC score ( CA ).. failed for the 3rd time. I feel dumber by the day
Rada - you're exactly where I was...failed BEC 3x (three 71s...hence the blog name...I started it March 15 2008 - the morning that I got my results).
Do yourself a huge favor and do what I did - get the Yaeger cram and Wiley book and knock this thing out. Stick with BEC...the cram adds 5 to 15 pts to your score on avg.
Jeff
Jeff,
Why did I get MY NY BEC grade? Should I call?
Does NY release through NASBA or their state site? Either way - I would call if you think you should have gotten yours...I know it's frustrating.
Through NASBA,. will call at 830. if anyone has a NY number where they called n were told if score was in would be appreciated!
e-mail me...I have some numbers...it doesn't matter what state you're from...
another71cpa@gmail.com
BEC in PA is out.
so if others in my state have received their score and i have not, does that mean my score was borderline and/or that i did not pass?
According to someone in CPANET REG scores are out in VA
Reg scores ARE FINALLY out in VA-- 89 for me!
81 on BEC!!! Now crssing my fingers for FAR in MA. Took it Oct. 11. Please be a 75
Scores are out for CA. 84!!! I'M DONE!!! What a journey this has been!
I guess FL is just super slow with everything. Perhaps it is the slowness of the south. They really irritate me with how long it is taking them. My coworker hasn't even gotten his BEC score yet here in FL.
my friends got their NY BEC scores and i didnt get mine...i see no reason for it..idk what to think
Ohio BEC is out...
REG scores are out in CA!
Anyone have a status on PA REG scores?
anybody know anything about REG marks in Colorado????
BEC in NY is out.
can someone who spoke to a 'you have good news' kind of person for NY BEC leave that number please, so frustrated
REG out in CA. I took it on Nov 29 and I got only (77)
But I pass this stupid Taxation on the first try. Yeah.........
FAR in MA anyone?!
k, so if CA and VA are getting REG today, then tomorrow for everyone else??? thanks
California REG scores are in!!!!! 88 for me!!! I'm done with this exam!!!!
I've already resigned myself to the idea of taking FAR over again. That helps with the wait. You know what else helps? One bourbon, one scotch, one beer!
Any word on FAR in VA?
None that I've heard. I guess Commonwealths take longer than States.
REG is up for IL regardless of what the score release page says...
Just logged in and check and i got an 86. I tested on Oct. 23rd so i should have been 1st wave, not sure if this affects timing. Expect ILBOA to post all today, and NASBA to batch release by tomorrow morning!
"None that I've heard. I guess Commonwealths take longer than States."
VA is normally one of the first to release scores... FAR doesn't seem to be out yet anywhere...
"REG is up for IL regardless of what the score release page says..."
The IL score release page is as of yesterday, they have yet to update it for today. It's always current as of whatever date is on the upper right...
If BEC is delayed by a day, does that push the remaining ones back by a day as well? So FAR would then push from Monday the 22nd to the Wednesday 23rd? Do these people enjoy ruining holidays?
Justine-
Does VA normally release by the third week of the down month as advertised on the VBOA website?
Yeah, VA BOA is usually pretty good about getting scores out in the 3rd week of the dead month. I'm waiting on FAR in VA.
Justine- What i'm saying is that the score release pdf only has the BEC release from yesterday on there, but that they have released REG scores today and just haven't updated the score release PDF yet.
GENERAL QUESTION..when NASBA receives your score, it gets released the next day, the whole 430 am bit, right?
My OASIS page says "All or some sections of your NTS have been attended but scores have not been received." Does that mean i am on the boundary and that is why the delay?
Has anyone received a FL score yet for any sections?
"Yeah, VA BOA is usually pretty good about getting scores out in the 3rd week of the dead month. I'm waiting on FAR in VA."
When did you take the FAR? I took mine 11/26.
IL BOA just put up another update. 80% of REG is posted. No FAR, no AUD. I'm waiting for FAR and feel like I'm going to throw up every time I log in.
The new IL score release update has be issued. Apparently 80% of REG scores came out today...
https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/files/scorerelease.pdf
Any word on the AUD results? Waiting on GA to publish.....
i dont know how you people do it (or how im gonna do it) when its the first wave only and you could wind up having to wait another month- ugh
NASBA is really slow... anyone get REG or FAR in WI?
REG is out in CA! I passed!
No REG for me in WI. Can't wait much longer
I just got my REG score from Illinois and I passed it. I've got all four parts done after taking a total of 17 sections and having to pass REG twice. Thanks another71 you really gave me motivation to get through this!
In FLORIDA - I got my wave 1 FAR score on 11/25, sat for it on 10/7.
Waiting for REG-sat 11/4 and AUD-sat 11/25 (yes same day as other exam score released)...nothing yet
I got my REG score today (in California). Thanks for the predictions and the site!
Anybody here from NJ get results back? I'm waiting for an AUD Score
I'm waiting for AUD in FL. I don't think they have even released AUD yet at all anywhere. All the posts say REG and BEC are out.
CA Reg scores are out!!! 92!!! Just FAR to go!!!
same here in TX REG & BEC out; but I spoke with TX BOA and they said they are expecting AUD by end of week or beginning next before holidays!
puke
Re: WI
Thank you for confirming that WI has not relased anything. I took Reg Oct 6th and FAR Nov 24th. I had people in my office get REG from Oct 14th and later... Man I love when this system.
Any predictions regarding AUD? The wait is torturous than actually studying for the test!
Re: Any predictions regarding AUD? The wait is torturous than actually studying for the test!
HA! That is exactly what I just said to one of my coworkers. Waiting is more stressful. I can study and take the test anytime but having to wait for the silly score is so much harder!
VA is usually the fastest to release. They receive an e-mail from the powers that be and boom, grades slip out on the VA BOA site. They are expecting FAR and AUD toward the end of the week. With that being said, VA is conservative when you ask them direct grading questions. I know from experience. I am waiting for FAR only; IF I DON'T PASS, THAN I WILL NEED TO GET 150 BEFORE THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO GET A LICENSE...TALK ABOUT NERVE RACKED...I passed BEC and FAR in the last testing window. The odds are stacked against me to pass three in one window...will see...ok, back to the refresh button!
anyone get Reg score in NJ, I didn't...
>>IF I DON'T PASS, THAN I WILL NEED TO GET 150 BEFORE THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO GET A LICENSE...
Are you sure about that? For NY (we just implemented the 150 rule starting 8/2009.. bleh) I was told that as long as I get my application in and education requirements approved before then, I don't need the 150 credits. Won't matter how long it takes me to finish.
Maybe it's different every state.
good luck!
Yeah, I'm glad I got my 150 out of the way! It was so much easier to do the masters degree first for me because I knew it would be harder to take classes after getting a CPA license being that it is such a pain to go through the whole process. I just took my first part and I already don't know how I will make it through 3 more. Plus, until this year, FL wouldn't allow you to sit with less than 150. I hope you hear something soon!
Virginia will allow me to continue testing, however; I will need to get 150 before they license me. Practical experience is more important than controlled classroom memorization...frustrating stuff...but I did it to myself...
Just got REG score from CA....got a 92 (which is much better than the previous 74!!!!)
I actually worked on my masters full time and work full time at a CPA firm(even during tax season). It was so easy because I have experience I could actually apply my knowledge and knew what the heck they were talking about :) In fact, most of my graudate coarse work was not just memorization and take a test since I did the masters of accounting and not the MBA. It was higher level thinking and applying what you know to state your case. Anyway, FL just adopted the 120 to sit vs. 150 so I know a lot of people here will now be in the same boat as you. I guess it's is just personal preference.
what the heck is going on with the CO scores!!!
I need to write Santa;
Santa - I want only one gift this year!!!
I was such a good girl!!! :)
My coworker is also waiting for the CO scores. I haven't seen anyone on here mention CO being out :(
So wierd!
CO PRETTY PLEASE COME OUT!!! :)
I'm waiting for Colorado too... two month wait isn't an easy thing. I am going to knock somebody out if I don't see my scores today for REG.
what about FAR in CO????
I don't know, but that's the one I'm waiting for...If I pass FAR, I'm done with the whole thing.
I think I am going to quit checking for my score! I'm just fed up now.
same here with FAR in CO...if i passed...ADIOS CPA!!!
i mean...ADIOS CPA STUDY!!! LOL!!!
For those that have taken BEC, would you say that is the hardest part?
Hey guys
Any one here you tested in NH got their results as yet?
FAR is toughest,
REG is an absolute nuisance,
AUD the course is extensive,
BEG I would say is the easiest given that there are no simulations...
Got my California REG score this morning. Passed! No more exams for me!
FAR has a lot of simple concepts but requires a lot of motivation to prepare.
AUD isn't that bad if you have a few years experience
REG is interesting and extensive
BEC can pull from a ton of data, including info not normally found in typical study guides. You need to keep up with current trends...
Jeff,
Is an 80% release of REG scores in the "first release" of the "second wave" a low percentage? Do you know what the percentage has been in the past? (I know IL BOA says 70%+ is typical during the "first release," but what have you seen?)
Jeff,
Heard a rumor about FAR release later today. Could you confirm with you contacts?
Does anyone have any information on when REG is getting released in NY?
what about michigan? still waiting for BEC...
Ok, who to call in NYC to check the status of a FAR and AUD scores?
I'm too scared to call anyone about anything to do with the scores. I keep thinking they are tired of hearing from us. They think we are crazy!
Still no REG score in Utah. Hopefully it will be posted tomorrow.
Virginia has live chat...you can sign anonymous and they are very helpful. Remember, they release fast...
It will be so wierd when I finally get a score in that box that says Error: Score not found. I will probably fall out my chair when I finally see a score in there.
I guess I should expect to see AUD at the end of the week.
My Oasis page says "All or some sections of your NTS have been attended but scores have not been received" What am i supposed to think?????
i.g.n.o.r.e.t.h.e.o.a.s.i.s.p.a.g.e.
i dont have my jurisdiction id for oasis login? From where i can get this jurisdiction id? can anyone please help me?
how much bec is our in MI? am still waiting..
how much BEC is out in MI? am still waiting...
thanx man... for giving information about jurisdiction id..
REG should be out in NY tomorrow. If IL got REG today so should have NY. Of course, NASBA releases scores on behalf of NY, the scores on NASBA's site show up a day after IL posts.
Any advice how to get a "hint" from Nasba Rep? I am going out of town on assignment starting tonight and I may not be able to check score until I comeback Saturday.
Do you agree that the OASIS page is useless? My scores have been attended but not yet recieved either. For those who got the score is OASIS accurate?
WAITING FOR REG IN NY
-JAY
What is the jurisdiction ID to get into the OASIS page for NY??
Yeah, in Virginia (at least) you can take the exam with 120 hours. But you need 150 to get licensed.
How do I get to the Oasis page? I have my Jurisdiction ID (It's on the score notice you receive in the mail when you've taken an exam)
https://nasba.org/nasbaweb/OACPA.nsf/UL?openform
but its not accurate. it says no scores for me, but I already have 2 scores from previous releases...
In regards to the 120 hours in VA. It is still at 150 to sit for the exam. https://www.vscpa.com/Press_Room/News_Releases/press12020801.aspx
It might be passed for the 120 though
Unless you are grandfathered. If you do not pass my 12/31/08, you can continue testing but you will need 150 to get licensed. If you are not grandfathered than you need 150.
do any california folks have new gossip on which scores are coming out next? yesterday it seems they heard mid-afternoon from their BOA about reg...
Is the NASBA site down?
nasba is working...just slow as always since everyone is checking their scores.
RE: IL board of ed. info release
When they say they received 80% of Reg, does that mean that 80% of all cpa candidates or just 80% of IL candidates?
It was, but now appears back up.
anyone from New Hampshire in this forum? Any word when REG is getting released?
any one still waiting like me for BEC - michigan?
nasba wont even load for me now. how frustrating.
it is 80% of il scores.
Got my score in VA, 90. Passed REG. Scores of rest of the states will be out tomorrow I think. I know waiting is bad. especially when we left the exam and felt like failing.
Utah BEC came out today. I am hoping for Utah REG tomorrow.
Is Oregon the only state that doesn't allow you to check scores online? Another 11am come and gone...I want to order my ethics exam.
Lots of people seem to do well in REG (90+). Is it generally easier to study for, or is just more straight forward than the other parts?
I just spoke to my NASBA (PA) rep. and she indicated that she had by BEC score and that it would be posted by 7 pm tonight, which I believe translates into tomorrow morning. I know some people are still waiting on BEC scores, while I know most received them today. It appears there is another batch they received today that will be posted tomorrow.
if it is so.. than its great man.. many like us are waiting for BEC yet, lets hope that they post by 7 pm tonight.
Are AUD scores expected to be released by NASBA on Friday? If they don't post by Friday does that automatically push it into the next week or can results be posted on weekends?
i've read that they do post on saturdays
ive wondered the same thing about REG..remember we arent hearing the failing grades ..but i think it is more straightforward..like here it is...learn it
Have they released any scores for CO yet? I am waiting on FAR, which is my last section, hopefully.
Has anyone heard anything about REG scores in Indiana?
I definitely had the hardest time with BEC. Passed REG first try, passed FAR first try, passed AUD second try. FINALLY passed BEC on 5th try!! But just had to retake REG because I lost it :( I better pass this time - otherwise I'll lose FAR!!! AHHH!! I can't wait to get my score ... I HOPE!!!
I'm hoping for REG scores to post for Indiana tomorrow. It's going to hurt -- a lot -- if I fall outside of the 80% population. I'm just sayin'...
REG is in for PA but not posted until tomorrow
For me, I felt I prepared REG better than AUD, but after the exam I felt like I was failing. I didn't finish the last sim. I am not sure what other people think about REG. But I would say I feel more comfortable when I study for REG.
BEC was the hardest for me so far, REG was the easiest, but I also had alot of experience with tax
My buzz from passing BEC has been replaced with fear over what my REG score might reveal tomorrow. I didn't finish my last SIM either. I was definitely dragging my knuckles after the REG exam.
Has anyone called NY to find out for sure if REG is in??
Just got off of the phone with a TX Board Rep and he stated that some BEC scores were posted today and some will be posted tomorrow. He looked me up by my social and said, "Yes, we have your score and it will be posted after midnight tonight..between midnight and 7am". I said, "Good news or bad news"? He laughed and said, "Sorry I can tell you if you should be celebrating or studying for it again". UGH!!! At least I will know in the morning.

I just got my score in CA. I passed REG with an 81%. Took forever to get the score, I took it on October 4th, but since I passed it does not really matter. Now I just have to hope that the results for AUD and FAR turn out the same.
Nice job REG (81%)! Congrats, I know it had to be difficult waiting for almost 2 1/2 months to get your score back!
Does anyone know if scores for OH have been posted? Also is there contact information for the OH rep?
I'm in Utah and I just got an email from my NASBA state coordinator that my REG score has been received by NASBA from the AICPA and should be posted tomorrow. Looks like I won't sleep much tonight.
Along the same lines as the person from OH, does anyone have contact information for the IN rep?
If reg started coming out since yesterday evening can we expect AUD/FAR to follow suit?
To the person in Utah who received and email from the Utah NASBA coordinator send me an email with the coordinator's name and email address. I am waiting on REG and FAR. My email address is evanmlewis@gmail.com
It is pretty sad when you have 3 of your section ID numbers memorized from entering it into the NASBA website so many times.
Right now, my original predictions are two days early - so what I predicted...add two days...FAR by the 24th (which means they upload them on the 23rd and IL/CA have them on the 23rd as well...)
If you bookmark the nasba score page with your information already in it after you submit, you won't have to type it in again when you click on the bookmark.
If you use Firefox - it will remember the section id and DOB...
So I am waiting to hear about my REG score (Illinois). It will be my final test if I pass. Since, 80% of REG scores have been released, that puts me in the 20% that are close to the cutoff. When will these scores be released. Also, the ILBOA says to not make an assumption that you've failed. Does this mean you have an equal chance of passing or failing?
Will you Utahns please e-mail me the Utah coordinator's name and e-mail address to natmurphy@msn.com? It seems that BEC has been posted in Utah, but my score hasn't come up yet..... Thanks!! ;o)
Hi Another71,
Why does FAR take a few more days than the others? If BEC came out on Tues and REG today, why wont FAR be released on Friday?
Dec
still waiting on NY REG from 10/7
I am in CA and I am trying to get my score for REG...but it is not posted yet. What does this mean? Everyone is saying they are posted. I am checking on the state board page because if you are in CA you cannot check on NASBA...Is this correct??? thanks.
When will we get AUD. I am in trouble. I passed all the sections except AUD. cant wait. Stressed like never b4. anybody knows when we will get AUD?
I recall reading that California scores cannot be checked on NASBA. You have to check it from
https://www.cba.ca.gov/cbt_private
Your score will be under status at the bottom of the page. If your score is not there it will state "score pending."
Good luck on your score. I hope you passed
any idea if reg will be released for nj tomorrow. took it Oct 7th
If your state releases through NASBA - your REG score should be out tomorrow between 4am and 5am (CST).
Regardless of what happens - everyone here will pass the CPA Exam - it's just a matter of when.
-Jeff
Thank you Jeff! I wish I had found this site back when I started taking this exam. I think it would have made the process that much easier to deal with. I'm just waiting for my AUD score, hoping that I passed so that I can put this test behind me and move on. Congrats to you on passing. I know it must be a relief! Thank you again for this wonderful site!
All if you go to the following address
https://nasba.org/nasbaweb/OACPA.nsf/UL?OpenForm
you can type in your jurisdiction ID and DOB. If it does not say
"The section(s) of your NTS have been attended and scored. The score(s) reported generated a notice to be mailed to you. If you do not receive your notice via US Mail within 10 business days, please contact our office at 1-866-MY-NASBA."
then they do not have your scores. A lot of people say this site is meaningless but it is not. Once my status changed to scores have been reported i found out
There is rumor of AUD score, is that true ?
I checked the following website this afternoon and now,
https://nasba.org/nasbaweb/OACPA.nsf/UL?OpenForm
the notice is updated, I think I will get me socre tomorrow. I took REG (10/18) and AUDIT (11/24) in NY
My notice just got updated too on oasis.
NY for REG.
I guess that means I'll get it tomorrow?
How early can I check?
5.00AM
Does anyone know the jurisdiction number for ny?
where do you find the jurisdiction ID?
you have to use your OWN jurisdiction ID, there isn't a number for "ny". Your ID is on the score reports that are mailed to you (if you have an old one), and also on that original letter you get a loooonnng time ago when you first applied, telling you that they received your application, etc.
Or you can call NASBA and ask for your jurisdiction ID.
I am so nervous about the REG score coming out tomorrow that I could just throw up right now. I am not sure if I like having these predictions! It's like my life has stopped until I get the score.
This may be inappropriate, but I was just laid off from CPA firm in Northern NY, does anyone have any leads?
If another reader can help you out with a lead - awesome...all the better!
...and you got laid off at a great time...the beginning of tax season...
I know... so thoughtful of the unnamed Big 4 firm.
guys check out for AUD at 5am! good luck to everyone i was just watching the celtics' game and I am glad they won. Hope I will be happy tomorrow morning at 5 am.
Its midnight here & I am dying for my FAR(10/1) and AUD(11/26) scores!

Congrats on the 99! That is so crazy. I hope to do that well. I imagine that will be my strongest section when I take it.

No REG score still in Ohio...anyone else have their score yet through NASBA?

I passed BEC with an 80! Now I can concentrate on next section (REG). Two down, two to go (REG/AUD). Congrats to everyone that passed and good luck to those that are waiting. If you got bad news, keep your head up because you will pass it the next time! Thanks for maintaining this blog Another71, it helps so much to know that you are not alone in this daunting journey!
Eric in TX

Now FAR, any tips which study program is the best for FAR?, I used Becker and Gleim for Reg.

Yeagar covered the subjects on the FAR VERY well.
Anyone receive the REG score in state of WI????

Anyone in Louisiana? I am waiting for AUD and going crazy.
I took BEC on 11/23 in NY. Should the score be out yet?
I couldnt sleep well last night. Have been checking CA online exam account. No scores yet...
Taken FAR on 10/1 and AUD on 11/26...I look at least 5 years older for the past 1 year for this CPA exams
Of all the states mentioned... I never see anyone waiting for scores from South Carolina except for me. My state coordinator says scores will be mailed when they come out. But Nasba shows SC scores are available online. I am not sure if I am doing the right thing? HELP!
According to the updated score release PDF, Illinois received 99% of AUD scores today! ( https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/files/scorerelease.pdf ). They didn't receive any more REG, so it's still just at the 20%. I guess all of us waiting on AUD in NASBA states will be up at 4:30 CST tomorrow! Lucky CA, IL, Maryland, and wherever else it is that does their own... you can have them today. I'm just glad we don't have to wait until Monday!
And by 20%, I meant 80% received. 20% outstanding. My brain is fried.....
great, everyone who got REG today has gotten atleast an 80...
Ok FLORIDA news, just called BOA, and the girl told me all 4 sections should be posted online by tomorrow. What's another morning with out sleep! (and don't ask why they have to do it differently)
Anyone from NJ get AUD scores back? Also, I got a score back from REG in Novemeber but still didnt receive a notice in the mail.If it matter, I didn'tpass.Anyone know why ididn't receive a letter yet?
Oh yes...... n the SC scores are for AUD!
still nothing for ny. i need to know my aud and far scores! i'm going nuts.
Anyone getting scores for CT?
CA AUD out ! 88~
I dont know how many million times I have pressed F5 key...
I took reg on 10/3 in VA and still have not recieved my score. Other colleagues took AUD the week of Thanksgiving and have already received their score - what gives. This makes no sense?
Any word on AUD in MA? Seems like MA is one day behind the first group of states to come out, so I am guessing tomorrow.
Got my REG score for Utah. Passed with an 87.
Did anyone from TN received a REG score?
Or I'm the only one waiting!?
Still waiting after 11 weeks for REG, even though others in MI have received them. WHhhyyyyyy
Got -27 on FAR.
Have anyone from NASBA state got their AUD score?
I'm in FL and have not received my AUD score.
Still waiting on Georgia (NASBA) state for my AUD score. ....took the exam on 11/12
anyone from NJ? I'm waiting for FAR... I know it's not out yet, but I was wondering if the scores from other sections already released (BEC, REG, AUD) have been in-line with the releases as per the IL BOA?
got my REG score in MO this morning - 91! still can't believe it!
I hope we get FAR tomorrow! That would make my weekend (even though I have to cram for audit to sit 1/3/09)
To the person who posted from SC, I too am waiting for REG. I sat on 10/14. Received BEC score yesterday - 69. I am going insane I have been looking for my score since Thanksgiving.
For the NJ question...I'm in NJ and received BEC yesterday (12/17) and REG today (12/18)...bothing passing!!!
Took FAR back on Oct 1, still no score in NY.
REG and BEC are out in CT
NO FAR IN COLORADO.
did anybody get scores for other exams???
HATE THAT WAIT!!!
So...revised prediction of the 24th for FAR for those in states where the SB reports scores?(like TX) I know FAR usually takes the longest to release, but I can't imagine gov workers coming in on xmas-eve to push scores out.
Pass FAR=done, if not then BEC rolls off. This wait is killing me.
HEY MAN...same here. if i do not pass FAR ...then i will have 2 to go. if i pass i am done!!!
Has anyone contacted a rep or someone at NASBA regarding the release of Wisconsin REG scores for this window? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Aly!
Is there ANY insight into scores for FAR and AUD in NY? Are we actually going to get them this year?
so BEC and AUD are out 99% in IL with 80% out in REG.....what gives--of course i'd be a part of that 20% ha this sucks.....how long do i have to wait now?
holy cow I bet ppl spend more time worrying then studying
there's a famous saying about that
I just got my audit score in CA! I got a 93! How? I have no clue. I didn't even finish the 2nd simulation. Pre-test questions maybe??
For all who don't want to have to scroll through, BEC and REG released for PA.
NEW YORK PLEASE LET ME KNOW MY AUDIT SCORE
SC here - took the Reg test on 10/11 and still waiting. At this point, I think I am just going to concede the failing grade and start studying again.
Does anybody know the number for the NEW HAMPSHIRE coordinator???
Did anyone get Reg scores in Colorado. Its been over two months, I was hoping for today still nothing. Who do I call to check up on that, I'm way beyond desperate now!!!!
My husband just got his CO REG score this morning, he passed with an 81!
do you know who to call to check the update on scores that didn't release in Colorado, I called 1-800-cpa-exam... but i don't know where to go on all the options. Somebody help me out!!!
I got my AUD score from CA this morning. I took AUD on 11/22 and FAR 10/18. No indication of FAR release yet. This is really surprising. Anyone have any clue when FAR will be released?
if you call the 1- 800 - CPA - exam. there must be a way to talk to someone... if you reach a wrong person...they should connect you to the CO Rep.
If someone doesn't have their REG score and they get theirs through NASBA - e-mail me and I'll help
Did anyone get their REG score in Ohio?
I wrote AUD on Nov 20th, still waiting for score from NewHampshire state.
Any idea when the scores will be released
Just got an email from my SC coordinator. AUD scores will be up after 7 pm tonight. This is going to be a looooong day!
i dialed this phone no and pressed option 7 to go to score info, than receive copy of the score, i never get to talk to operator, the automated voice keeps on giving load bs information.
Dial 1-800-cpa-exam, press 1 then press 7. U will on line with a CSR!
I just talked to the CSR, she was no help its like as soon as I said, I needed info on my scores, she changed her tune to no they are released randomly, keep checking back. Another71, I just emailed you, maybe you can help.
Thanks
Found out I passed BEC and REG in MA. Done and done. Such a great feeling.
Thank you all for updating this site and serving as a place to vent as well as to read about similar struggles.
Godspeed.
AUD IS KILLING ME
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
I just want to see those pretty numbers of 75...
PLEASE NEW YORKKKK
Thank you for the ulcers, AICPA. 'Preciate it.
Can nobody give a definite date for the release of the FAR scores, I'm dying here.
Dec
Took REG on OCT 3 -- LA board - still no score

scoombe@nasba.org
i got an email from the aicpa that said "Financial Accounting and Reporting scores are expected to be sent to NASBA by the end of week December 19, 2008."
...it is broad but it is hopeful.
has anyone gotton thier AUD score for MA yet?
No I am waiting on AUD for MA and have not got it yet.
Has anyone heard any news on AUD for FL?
No AUD in TX yet...
Been following scores all week - based upon how it has gone with REG and BEC, AUD should be out tomorrow morning in MA.
I got my REG score in Tennessee today (on the NASBA site)! It's my last one and I passed! I am sooooo glad to be done!! Good luck to all those still waiting.
AHHHHHHH WHEN WILL THEY RLEASE FAR SCORES IN NEY YORK? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
do they release scores on a saturday ever?
Yes - they release on Saturdays...if NASBA gets the score Friday, it will be uploaded and processed overnight and show up Saturday AM
Yes, I received a Saturday score, but it might have been a late Friday update.
Did anyone in MA receive FARE Nov score yet!
I took FARE on 11/20
Is it possible to not receive a score from NASBA first thing in the morning and then have it upload during the day? Or should I just wait until tomorrow to check the score again?
I received my AUD score in CA today.
With NASBA - if you don't get it in the AM...there's no use in checking during the day...even though I always did like a crack addict.
Is it likely that AUD scores will post on NASBA tomorrow morning?
AUD scores should be there fro NASBA tomorrow AM...99% of IL AUD has been received...
CA had it posted on their site under my client account (not sure that CA is available to view via NASBA's site)
VA usually follows IL and CA..usually a day before NASBA. I bet VA comes out Friday/Sat with NASBA coming out Monday...just a *guess*
I have an idea. How about when you get your score...you post that you got your score instead of 5 times throughout the day posting a message that you still haven't received your score?
people like knowing that they're not alone...misery loves company...I did the same thing
I failed AUD in CA with 37.
Also failed REG with 37.
My BEC is expired next April.
I took FAR on Oct 1 and if I fail FAR also, I am going to quit the whole CPA thing.
Aw, give 'em a break! This is one of the few outlets for us neurotic CPA candidates.
"Well, the world needs ditch diggers too."
-Caddyshack
If we don't get our score in the first way, it is more likely that we failed???
In the 21st century there has to be a better way. I agree with the above person. Have an email sent to you stating your score is available. This will improve productivity. People check scores 10 times a day!!!
CPA WantABe
Don't read anything into it...just stay positive...you could be on the bubble. Only 80% is out for REG.
I'm from Mississippi. Took REG 10/24 and BEC 11/25. We had a first wave of scores that were received in the mail on 11/26. We don't have online scores in MS, but I checked with State Board today and they claim they have not received a single score since the first wave in November. Any idea if they are telling the truth? Is it possible that all the other states have received scores today and Mississippi has not? Any advice on what to do, who to call would be greatly appreciated!
nasba site wont even come up now...maybe we all crashed it
I got the same thing from NASBA, to many people hitting F5.
I was able to get in-Still no score!
Does it work this way: The highest scores are reported first? Or is it random reporting?
No but I believe the ones that are close to 75 are held to rescore or something.
State boards and NASBA will not release scores over the phone. You could be someone's worst enemy and just trying to jerk them around by finding out his or her score. Or worse yet, your boss. That would be a real treat to have your boss know your score b/f you do!
-well big brother could be watching. If you use a company computer, your internet activity is watched. All your boss needs is your DOB and Test ID #
REG scores in New Mexico were released!! woo-hoo! An 83....3 down, waiting on FAR!
AUD 97
BEC 84
FAR 11/14/08 ???!!!
REG 83
AUD passed 7/2/08
BEC passed 8/2/08
FAR passed 8/29/08
REG passed 10/29/08
It was a grueling 4 months, but it was totally worth it... thanks Becker and another71.com...
Am I correct in saying that nobody has received any AUD scores from NASBA today?
AUD passed 7/2/08
BEC passed 8/2/08
FAR passed 8/29/08
REG passed 10/29/08
It was a grueling 4 months, but it was totally worth it...
Very well done. Congrats!
Wow ?it is like a gambler ? you only hear about the money he won not lost. My boss told me he got a 92, 94, 96, & 97. I year later I found out he took each section 4 times
Bitter CPA Flunkie
nope, no AUD score for me yet
another71 how do you know what % of the scores have been released? Any idea on what % of Michigan REG scores have been released?
Got BEC and REG back yesterday. 81 and 88 respectively. Only FAR left to go!
as for NY, I took REG on Oct 27th and I got my score. I passed it.
Took REG on 11/17 and still no score yet! My wife took REG on 10/15 and received the score from NASBA today. We are both from NH and she's done with the exams but I'm still waiting... I have a verrrry bad feeling now... Another 71, do you have any "insider info" when REG score will be available from NH? Thaaaanks~
holy cow mann 99% Aud Scores released in TX
I made a perfect 100 & didn't study more then 20hrs
just jokeing
hohoohoho merry christmas
Re: percentage of scores sent to each state. An example: if Ohio gets 99% of their anticipated AUD scores, so do all the other states. If Nevada gets 67% of their anticiapted REG scores, so do all the states. The AICPA scores the exams blind - they don't know who you are, where you are from, male, female, young, old. You're just a number to them - but that's good.
NASBA is the organization that knows were to send your scores. NASBA either sends scores to the boards who do their own processing such as TX, CA and IL, or processes them in-house for the CPAES states (of which there are approx. 35).
Boards received word at 5:00 p.m. CST that some FAR scores have been released to NASBA. That means some candidates may get their FAR score tomorrow, but don't count on it. At least it will be b/f Christmas...
Does NASBA update at 7 pm? As per SC state coordinator my scores should be up at NASBA tonight after 7pm! Any inputs Mr 71?
I got my score in FL
BEC 90
REG 94 wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Reg in CO = 89
Seems like a lot of high scores on Reg this time around.
Or a lot of people who studied waaaaayyy too much!
I happen to think they had a generous curve this time around. I felt like I did horribly on the Reg simulation and I still can't believe I scored a 92!
i always say...if you get anything over a 75 you spent too much time studying ;)
Check my newest post...FAR is coming out...NASBA has the scores...not sure if it made the Friday AM cutoff or not...
Since I missed the first wave, I hope they do make it in tonight. Sat 11/1 in NH
I received my passing score for BEC in MA.
Ok, so when I called FL, they led me to believe "all sections will be posted tomorrow." I have seen a couple people who said they got their scores in FL, but maybe that was wave 1? not sure? It almost seems like they held the scores back so they could process the licensure packets by the end of yr, before the rule change. (just my perception). A woman told me they were trying to get the packets out by the end of the yr, normally it takes up to 6 weeks or so.
My question is, what time should I start checking?
From reading above, I think the scores are with NASBA. The actual posting is random. The last one will be posted on the 23rd
If NASBA releases them...they come out around 5AM CST...
Can someone please answer this question. If you fail an exam, how long does it take to get your new NTS and be able to schedule to take the exam again???? I'm wondering because I'm waiting for the score on my last part, but my first one expires first week of February. I need to know if it's possible to reapply and take the exam before then. Thanks in advance
If you fail an exam, how long does it take to get your new NTS and be able to schedule to take the exam again????
If you get your score tomorrow for instance, expect your new NTS within 5-10 business days (via e-mail). Then, you could sit again as early as January 2nd if you wanted.
Don't you love when your friends and family are like "Oh what are you so nervous for, I'm sure you did fine. You're smart, I know you passed for sure"
Guys, this is not time to planning to fail and ask questions about another NTS. I have had enough of those NTS. I want to know about next step after passing these exams. I will find out in the morning 3.30 from TX.
I will find out in the morning 3.30 from TX.
Are expecting FAR to be there that early?
Actuallty tomorrow will be AUD, For FAR i know it is going to be either monday 10.00 AM or tuesday morning 3.30
I have taken these test so many times , I can just tell when they release score
Should I stay up untill 3.30 or go to bed. I need to get up at 7 in the morning
Go to bed...AUD will be out (NASBA) around 5am CST...FAR will be out for the state BOAs who release via their own site sometime tomorrow...NASBA should release on Saturday AM...unless they get the FAR scores uploaded tonight...either way...go to bed...
holy sh*t FAR out tomorrow or saturday?! you know for a fact that NASBA has the scores?
c'mon 75...
you know for a fact that NASBA has the scores?
Bank on it...I can't make them push the button though. Watch for the state boa FAR scores to come rolling out tomorrow...
Texas runs their batch process around 3 in the morning. My information is usually updated from 3:13 to 3:16.
I tried the impossible and it was impossible indeed!
a. Started studying for sinc June 2008 with Becker.
b. Switched job, averaging 45 hours a week, big learning curve.
c. Took the exams as follows
AUD 11/18
REG 11/19
BEC 11/20
FAR 11/21
4. So far
REG - 67
BEC - 81
and waiting ....
On top of doing all four parts in four consecutive days, it was my first time for all of them.
whose staying up all night for new york state to release audit.....
stressing for 4 straight days hitting the F5 button on NASBA...
please don't make me have to study audit again
HATE TAXES!!!!! Heck with it, I will call in sick tomorrow. Don't care about the darn recons at work.....LOL...I want to stay up late to find out if I did at least pass another part. Darn...I hate all of you who got in the 90s in the first time. I used to be in the top 20% of my graduating class and a 67 on REG is quite a slap on the face....I guess I am that stupid.
is anybody there, it is 2.ooam CST
now it is 3.AM
stil updating batch. I hope I will pass in next 15 minutes
I am i labor pain as I see this meassage

does any of you knoz if whether Pa release the scores on their own website or through NASBA? and how to I check the scores on the PA website? Thanks
go to NASBA and click on exam and select PA and it will tell whether NABA or State Board releses the score
omg, still nothing in FL. I cant take this anymore...waiting on REG and AUD, everyone else has theirs!
Florida sucks! I'm still waiting too...and nothing yet. I hate seeing that message. I wish I just saw a score.
Guys AUDIT is OUT in NH!!! Good luck to all
Please AUD come out in FL!
MA stinks too. I'm still waiting....hopefully my AUD score will be out in the next 1/2 hour...we'll see.
by the way I just got my score in NH and OASIS is still saying that my score is not received. I am done now !!! THANK GOD. One thing to those who will not get it. Try again, dont take this exam personally. You will get it right, just study on your weaknesses...
I had a coworker yell at me the other day saying that it doesn't matter if you fail because you can just take it again. There is so much time dedicated to studying that cannot be replaced! Plus, who the heck wants to have to retake an exam. Well, she hasn't even sat for one part yet so you know how furious I was at what she said. She has no clue how hard it is waiting for a score.
I've been lucky. I have a co-worker who is taking the exam as well and she understands how I feel because she feels the same way. She knows how difficult it is to wait and we've tried to be supportive of each other in studying and taking the exam.
People who never took any exam ...they jsut do not get it. i have been a great student but CPA is not as easy...do not worry...not worth it!!!
I just don't understand....if 99% of AUD were released in IL yesterday, why won't NASBA release my score today? Maybe I am just checking too early.
it's now past 5am central... where is audit? i probably just need to hold out a few minutes huh? anyone getting theirs?
waited untill 3.45 no score , came back from bed at 5.oo.
I passed AUD 77. THank you Jesus.
Every time I think about it I get extremely angry. I almost hope that her agony is 100 times worse than mine when she starts taking the exam. She also said that I'm stupid for my wanting to sit for AUD asap if I did fail. Who the heck wouldn't want to do that? You still have the stuff fresh in your memory so it would be easier to go over the material rather than restudy completely if I took it later down the line. I know I'm not the only one that has that mindset. I think she is an idiot! It took a lot for me to hold my anger and temper down!
Where is AUD??
Still no AUD in FL. I had a coworker that had his score posted in the afternoon one time. Does that happen often? Or do they post it mainly in the morning?
in TX AUD out
Darn it! I wish I took it in TX right about now!
anybody receiving audit in michigan this morning?
I'm tired of losing sleep from being restless all night thinking and dreaming about my score. Please...Please....Please post!!!!!
No FAR in NY.
no FAR in CO
i understand scores on nasba are released by batch. is it possible that certain states finish earlier than others and post? i would assume no, but being that TX AUD is out, and MA is not, i'm left to assume that MA won't be released today.
(fyi, this question is rooted in impatience)
I got AUD in MA...I failed :( :(
Back to studying for me. I'm not sure if I should study while I am on vacation next week and take first or second week in January or if I should just wait till April/May when tax season is over....also, I hate AUD so its difficult to study...any suggestions?
Error: Score not found.
Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.
Does that mean they have not posted my score yet? because I am pretty sure I am putting the right info in...
that means ''no score yet'' your info is fine
Anyone else waiting for a AUD score from NASBA? Where are the scores!
I'm still waiting on BEC in CO. Anyone else still not have BEC in CO? What does this mean?
Not here yet... I checked!
I'm from MI no AUD or FAR for me either!
NY = NO AUD
no aud in ny, 7am eastern
Would they post FAR tomorrow? or do they never post on the weekend? FAR, MA??
No TN Audit Scores...
No aud in CT

AUDIT SCORES OUT IN MICHIGAN
AUD 83
BEC 83
REG 85
All first try!!!! I'm a happy little accountant right now.
no offense, but i hate you. haha
congrats, and enjoy the holidays.
Waiting for FAR in Utah. I took it on 11/14. It is my last exam. On my first attempt I received a 73. A 75 or higher would make me very happy. I am ready to put the studying behind me after 2 years of grad school and CPA exams for the last 18 months. Last year I received my REG score on Christmas day (and failed). The wait is killing me. Good luck to you all.
No Aud in WI
FAR is out in VA...
I passed with an 82! No more consolidation accounting EVER!!!!!!!
I see this message at least a couple times a day. Against better judgment I keep checking more than a few times a day. Bad habit!
Error: Score not found.
Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.
Still waiting for AUD in IN. Anyone else receive AUD this morning from NASBA?
now my result has not arriaved today for audit , so now its not going to come today? now no chances for today? next morning?
i have no idea what is going on... every test ive taken shows up on nasba the day after an ilboa announcement. and today it looks like very few states actually released. why?? will they be out tomorrow??
If you didn't get it this morning...it will probably be MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY
KG... When did you take the FAR in VA?
Anybody got AUD score in WA?
i heard they release on saturday, than chances for tomorrow are there for audit as well as far, but if not tomorrow than sure for monday, but cant say at what time?
I am so upset that FL has released nothing. It is so hard to see the days go by, and you guys get scores. I dont know what they hold up is here!!!
Steve - I took FAR in VA on Oct. 29th
still no AUD in NY- my co-worker and I are at work checking NASBA diligently....hope we get good news!!
Do they post on saturday?! big storm coming to MA...no city workers = no scores?
I took FAR in MD on November 30 but I am a VA candidate and I have yet to receive my score on the VABOA...do I have to check the MD one?
NY- 68 on audit, kill me now
Seriously - why are scores not on the NASBA site if 99% have been released???
Calling my state rep! 11 min wait time on phone!
AUD is out in NJ! :)
NY STILL NOT OUT :(
I have received scores on Saturday in VA before
Why do people call their state rep? They don't give a crap about the fact that you did not get your score yet! and there is nothing they will tell you.
My state rep is pretty good about giving information. So that is not the case for everyone. So calm down.
86% of FAR is out according to ILBOE. New update is up.
KG... Thanks. Took mine on Nov 26. Congrats on FAR!
I was in the 86% of IL FAR to be released, and now I am done. All 4 parts + ethics completed. All I have left is the licensing paperwork! Yay!
Still no scores in MA. Does that mean I have no hope until Monday? Huge storm coming to MA - most state offices have been closed already. I cannot take another day of this...
Still no scores in MA for AUD. Does that mean I have no hope until Monday? Huge storm coming to MA - most state offices have been closed already. I cannot take another day of this...
81 on AUD in TX! Woo hoo!
No AUD in MN yet either. Any word on MN AUD scores?
FAR IN CALI!!!!!! :)
State Rep. is a mute point. The scores are with NASBA as of Thursday night according to Jeff. The State board approves the score, then off to NASBA for distribution.
CPA WantABe
any news for Audit in PA?
congrats CA !!! good for you!!!
Happy Holidays!!!
EJ
Any word on AUD in IN? This is my last one...becoming impatient.
thanks person in Cali - I am currently on the 2 year plan
AUD is out in PA - 78! BEC and I'm done!
my coworker got his aud score this morning (ny) and took it the 17th. i took mine the 25th and nothing yet, any chance they post mid-day or just in the morning?
took aud nov 25 ny = no score still
Any word on FAR in Colorado yet?
to those in MI: it seemed like none of you got REG yesterday morning while the rest of us did, but you were the first to get AUD today. did you ever end up getting REG scores?
I just called a candidate representative to ask about my WI audit score. She told me that WI holds all scores for all parts until the end of the score release, January 15th!! I was hoping to get my score today...I don't think I can wait another month...
I'm still waiting on AUD in IN too. It is my last section as well. I was definitely hoping for an early Christmas present today. I'm so tired of waiting.
"I took FAR in MD on November 30 but I am a VA candidate and I have yet to receive my score on the VABOA...do I have to check the MD one?"
No you check the VA site. According to IL only 86% of FAR was released today, therefore you're probably part of the 14% who didn't get their scores today...
Has anyone gotten their AUD score from NASBA yet?
It's really starting to stink in my pants.
Justine,
86% of all FAR has been released on Nasba site? Have not seen anything in CO yet.
I'm in FL and have not received my AUD score on NASBA.
It's really starting to stink in my pants.
We're potty training my 2 year old. When he drops a duece - he just takes his pants off (in the living room...kitchen...wherever) and keeps on going...perhaps this could work for you. You don't want your score to come out while you're away in the bathroom...no time for that.
Do they only release scores in the morning? Do they release scores in the afternoon? on weekends?
Has anyone received an AUD score from NASBA?
Does anyone from TX has ever recived their score on Saturday? FAR cameout today but tomorrow is saturday , so I was wondering if they post overnight. Thanks for your response
Still waiting on GA AUD.
They need to do a better job of communicating schedules. Only a quasi government system can get away with this kind of customer service.
Do you get your AUD score on NASBA in MA?
No AUD in CO either.
Another 71 - Do you have any idea why we wouldn't receive AUD scores from NASBA today?
I've read that VA FAR is out. I don't see mine yet. Is that a bad thing?
Another 71 - Do you have any idea why we wouldn't receive AUD scores from NASBA today?
I can think of a number of reasons, but none of them are polite.
i say if you can't release 100% of scores don't release any at all....of course this is because i didn't receive my score yet
That is ok if they are not polite. Just looking for some insight into the process.
Has 100% of Reg marks been released?
Received AUD from NASBA in NY this morning.
I haven't received my VA FAR score either...it makes me think my score is near the cut off and they are looking at the written communications section again. I took it once before in August and got a 73 and I feel like I did better this time around so we will see.
Has anyone from a jurisdiction that only notifies by US Mail received a Wave 2 score for any of the 4 exams?
Person who received AUD in NY,
May I ask what you got?
no reg NY yet :(
this question has been asked about 100 times but i havnt seen an answer,
do they post scores during the day or just mornings. saturdays?
My FAR score is posted in CA. I'm done!
from the TN coordinator re: AUD -
"AUD scores should be online today. One candidate has stated that her score has not shown yet, so check online later this afternoon. If not today, you should be able to see it tomorrow. If not by tomorrow, let me know on Monday."
yeah, dude, real helpful. He usually is, but not so much right now. Someone else said hers hasn't shown, so I should look this afternoon? Does that make ANY sense to anyone else?
At least he didn't flat out lie like the regular reps do. One this morning said "All AICPA allows us to tell you is that they will post by the end of December or January 15, depending on when you sat." when I told her I knew AICPA had sent them to NASBA yesterday.
I'm getting angry... and I'm not very nice when I'm angry...
Well...if a state agency can receive the scores from the AICPA and post them...I'm not sure why NASBA can't do the same. Push a button and there you go. Even if they had to run an overnight process...the scores were in yesterday...they should be there today.
Sorry Jamie,
NASBA does not post during the day - only early in the morning. As far as Saturdays...I don't know...others have said that they've gotten scores on Sat...I never have.
Do they only release scores in the morning? Do they release scores in the afternoon? on weekends?
I have gotten a few scores on a Monday...never a saturday, but I don't know why - if they're there on Friday...upload them...set the process to run overnight and POOF...they appear Sat AM. This isn't hard.
I'm in Fl and still have not received AUD score on Nasba either....sigh...
The NASBA site is really fast this morning. It is almost as though they disconnected the submit button from the database.
in michigan audit taken on 18th nov - still no score found as well far on 21-nov same answer - no score found
I am done checking NASBA site, I will check this this blog thru out the day.
Thanks, Jeff for creating this forum to vent.
in ny i did not get my aud either
MI received REG scores yesterday (with the exception of 1 person in our office) and AUD scores were received today
Re: The NASBA site is really fast this morning. It is almost as though they disconnected the submit button from the database.
Your right! It is going really fast. Maybe everyone but us has gotten their scores already so they aren't holding the site up anymore.
People on NASBA - it appears if you have bookmarked the site with your section ID, it is not working. Go back in with your info, type it in, and cross your fingers. My bookmark wasnt working, I went back in, and my score was up.
90 on AUD - I'm done forever!
Any AUD scores for Delaware?
Nope
should i be concerned if i do not have my ny score and will fail
Not surprising..
I just followed someone's advice and if you have the nasba site bookmarked, your score will not refresh - you must go to nasa.org and go through the whole process - MA AUD was up - I passed!
Any word on PA FAR???????
mine just went up in ny, 74 :o(
I got my Texas notice from the TSBOA website
I freaking passed 1st try 76; it was soooooo intense and I felt like poo leaving the exam but my prayers have been answered and now my full stress can be directed on BEC 01/02
I've been studying hard but the not knowing was hurting me big time; thanks another 71 for all the positive messages you provide us test takers
positive vibes is the greatest gift a person can give a stranger! thanks man
My MN audit score wasnt up all morning, and now it is! I AM DONE!!!! thanks for your site SO much Jeff!!
I can't believe it! I just hit submit again and my GA score was up! I passed AUD with an 86!!!! Wooo HOOO.
Thanks for the site! It was cathartic!
Good luck to everyone!! I am done! Done! Finit!!
AUD is in. I passed!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
I went through the NASBA site as well without using the bookmark. It worked! Only a 70 though....I'm in IN btw.
People on NASBA - it appears if you have bookmarked the site with your section ID, it is not working. Go back in with your info, type it in, and cross your fingers. My bookmark wasnt working, I went back in, and my score was up.
that was the best advice i heard all day. it worked for me too. didnt pass aud though. at least now i have a peace of mind in knowing
Sorry Jamie. That sucks!
Still waiting impatiently in NY for AUD. I took it nov 30th...
Congrats to all who have passed!!
AUD in WA is out. haha done!
I just found out that I got a 74 on AUD in CO. Is it worth going through the rescore process or should I just go ahead and take this section again?
What is wrong with the rest of the REG scores?
I did the rescore for a 74 on FARE, no luck.
Was anyone successful on a rescore?
I got two 74s in a row...you could sit for your exam again and get your score back before they got around to re-grading it...it costs about as much as a new NTS as well...it's not worth it.
20% of REG scores are still not released. That seems like a really big number to be close to the cutoff.
AUD finally up in TN! looks like the failed batch is finally coming through for NASBA! I felt way, way better about BEC than I did about AUD, but I actually did 1 point better on AUD (88). Yay, no more grumpy girl for today!
Still waiting for my BEC results via snail mail!!! Not being able to find out my score online stinks!
NH Audit just showed up after checking several times all morning. I passed! Good luck to everyone else!
MA AUD is out!
after a 73 on BEC and a 74 on Aud, and busy season approaching, I have cancelled my REG test for the 5th (not even close to ready).
I got these scores just doing self study with a good old fashion book. My firm pays for becker though and now I plan on enrolling after the busy season. This time next year I will post much better news.
Good luck to all and happy holidays
Hi Jeff (Another71), can you find out why the rest of REG score is not coming out? I'm registered with TN. Thanks.
Did anyone in MA receive a FAR score?
Just got AUDIT 69 right now in NY. Very sad. I took it 11/24. It's OK, this is my last one. At least I got my pass score for REG yesterday. Will try it again soon.
Happy holiday!
i hope NASBA has some holiday spirit and will upload FAR tonight for the overnight batch before they all take off for the weekend. it would just be cruel of them to wait until Monday to upload it for Tuesday AM release...
My friend got her FAR score on a Monday a few weeks ago.
Highest scores and lowest scores are posted first, and the ones close to 75 are held back to be regraded for accuracy
Anyone took an exam on november 28th and received their score?
I am still waiting on FAR; maryland.
69 on AUD :(
Any scores in for Delaware AUD?
i'm not saying this is an easy test by any stretch of the imagination, but has anyone ever walked out of a test feeling confident, and anxiously awaiting your 85+ grade, only to find out weeks later you not only flunked, but weren't even close?
if this site is based on misery loves company, i need some consoling here....
anyone receiving far in michigan?
Here is some misery for you...I got an 81 on BEC and a 78 on FAR, first time. Ok, not an 85+, but happy, confident. This window I am waiting for AUD and REG. Well this morning I got my AUD score, it's a 58. When you see that it's like a dagger. You feel like the numbers most be transposed. That is so low. I hope REG is a 75+, I don;t think I can handle 2 failures right now.
from Ohio Coordinator via email for FAR:
"The way it typically works is the scores are transmitted to us by the AICPA and we print them out. Throughout the day we go through all of the printed scores to make sure we have the correct amount and to check for any errors. That same night they are posted on-line and the hard copies usually get mailed that day or the next. Since we only receive the scores during the regular work week, no scores are uploaded on the weekend (although there is the occasional, unusual circumstance where some will be). If it makes you feel better, I just received word that FAR scores are beginning to be transmitted to us today, so they should start being posted on-line tonight, around 7:00pm CST. "
I felt okay when I came out of my AUD exam. I felt like I had a chance at getting that 75. I checked this morning, hoping for good news since this was my last section, and BAM...a big, stinkin' 58. I have been upset all morning.
I failure with 74 is the worst, specially when it is the last one you are waiting for after passing the first 3 in the first try. There's going to be a lot of drinking tonight.
My REG is still not out in NY. Any word on when it is expected? Or why it still isn't posted?
20% of REG is close to the cut? What exactly is the AICPA's definition of close to the cut 70-80, 77-73, 76-74 does anyone have an idea?
And what's the time frame on the close ones?
i figured scores were uploaded into their system, not printed and reentered. what are the chances the Fat Fingers McGee sucks at typing and put in the wrong score in error. Does this happen, and would it be possible to get the correct grade in the snail mail from your state board?
(i know some of you are saying, beat it buddy, you failed. lick your wounds and try again. and i respect that. i just find it hard to believe that i coudl walk out of a test beaming with confidence, and get a grade so low it doesn't warrant being mentioned on here, especially on a scaled test)
or is it just common to create every other scenario in the world, rather than just accept that you failed.
I hear your frustration...the process isn't transparent enough to really know...they say it goes through a strict grading process...everything is top secret and ambiguous at best.
Ironic if you think about it.
any chance of far today?
Would they put out scores tonight to be avail tomorrow morning?P!?P?P! FAR?P
FAR MA out tomorrow! MA recieved scores yesterday...will post tonight
Nasba's site is suprisingly very fast now. I guess everyone else has received their score except me. :( Aghhh!!!
Any chance we'll get REG before Christmas?
are they going to release michigan far today?
For VA people - I contacted the VABOA through the Livechat Function and asked when the remainder of the FAR scores would be released. The representative said that only a few scores had been released for VA FAR and that they have no idea when the remainder will be released.
Congrats to everyone receiving passing scores. Anybody receive or have any info about REG scores in WI.
ha. i agree a71. i'd audit the process, but apparently i suck at it...
Any word about FAR in MO? Sat 10/11 and still waiting.
Since my BEC score has not yet been posted, I assume I am not in this wave. Does anyone know when the next wave will be released? I'm in Utah. Grrrrr......
"Close to the cut" are only exams that have NOT passed. They don't establish a passing score and then review it and take away credit to make you fail. "Close" is 71-74 or 72-74. The constructed response is being re-read to see if additional credit can be given to bump you up to passing.
Ed knows what he's talking about everyone.
its a review for accuracy ...that would mean both close scores that are above and below the cut...
doesn't it sound like a high percentag of people 20% to be between 72-74
So Ed is that mean that those still waiting have failed.
HAS ANYONE HEARD ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA FAR?????
Got my score for AUD in OH, but nothing for REG yet.
hahaha somebody give this PA kid his FAR score already...
In response to the appeal process for close scores, I read about four months ago in the depths of the AICPA material that of all the past appeals only three (3) have been overturned over the last four years (154K+ total test given) . If my memory still holds up, one was a computer error that did not give full credit, second was a challenged question that was given credit, and I can?t remember the third.
What is worse is on the back of your mailed score are your section results compared to that of the average passing scores. I had a 71 score for REG and all but one category (that was close) was two or more points higher than the average passing grade and one section was even 10 points higher than average passing grade. I could not imagine what I would do if I got a 74. I even showed it to my live instructor and he cold not make heads or tails of it. I even emailed the AICPA asking if they would look at the details of my scores and tell me how this could be so out of sorts and all I got back was the generic response about ?the sum is not equal the total of the parts? similar to the web explanation.
Matt
For the newbie?s?. just so you know what to look forward to, waiting for the last score is the worst of the whole bunch. The first score is also difficult but not nearly the same, because you don?t know if you are going to get a 50 or a 90. You are just excited to pass, as the score is more out of curiosity than anything else. By the end, you know what amount of time and effort you need to get a passing score and you put just short of that amount, just hoping you will get by. The wait is the difference of three more months of agony or not. Enjoy the journey.
Matt
As I have been told by the AICPA in the past, the exams being reviewed the second and/or third time are not passing results - yet. Some scoring data I have seen would indicate that you have as good a chance to receive a passing score after the second review as a failing score. Those persons who already received a 72, 73, 74 (sorry...), their second review has already taken place. The rest just haven't been completed yet.
How the f*** do we through a live person at NASBA? I called and there wasn't even an option to hit a digit to get through a person. I am so frustrated. After paying all this much for classes and exam fees, not to mention gastro problems, I can't even get my d*** score. So far I have passed 1 and failed 1. I just wanna know the rest so if I need to hit a truck today, I will do so promptly. ANY AUD in fricking Delaware?
Matt,
I agree completely about the last part being the worst to wait for. I am currently waiting on FAR and am going nuts. I know the process, yet I still am refreshing the NASBA page every ten minutes. I am three for three and have a sneaking suspicion that I will NOT be four for four. I just want my score before I go on vacation tomorrow.
Did anyone get a FAR score yet?
Did anyone get a FAR score yet?
VA, IL, and CA have their scores...look for NASBA scores on Monday as a realistic expectation.
where is my REG score for CA?
Another71, does that mean its unlikely they will be posting any scores that we can check on Sat morning?
I don't know...this would be a perfect example of them releasing on a Saturday if they do...they got the scores late Thursday night...upload Friday...Sat release. I've never had a Sat score through NASBA...not sure if others have.
I'm still saying Monday (conveniently my original prediction of the 22nd) :)
I would imagine scores on NASBA will appear online tomorrow (Saturday) morning, not Monday morning. If NASBA runs an overnight process, my presumption is the process will continue through tonight.
Keep in mind, if scores appear on NASBA's site on Monday morning, that means an overnight update took place Sunday night. The reason I know this is that during wave 1, IL received FAR scores on a Sunday and actually released the scores that same day. I was very surprised to learn that NASBA and the ILBOA office were open on a Sunday! Nevertheless, my friend got his FAR score for MA on Monday morning, indicating that the AICPA released scores on Sunday to the states (IL, VA, and CA), and NASBA uploaded them Sunday evening for a Monday morning release.
I'm optimistic about tomorrow morning.
Whelp, Ed just put a dagger in my heart for my reg exam score that ive been waiting for since the first week of October
its not over until you see that failing score...stay optimistic
Maybe Ed knows the answer to this... Why is it that BEC and AUD had 99% releases whereas REG and FAR had releases that were materially less?
The scoop from AICPA site www.cpa-exam.org: Earlier score release is most likely for examination forms that include previously administered test content. If more analysis is needed (for example, in the case of new simulations), scores will not be reported until the second wave (or round) of score release. So, most likely REG and FAR had more new Sims panels/forms that required more QC steps before release. The percentage of early REG and FAR were smaller for both waves, which supports this explanation. Next Jan-Feb it could be AUD. Couldn't say!
BEC is always the first out at close to 100% b/c all its questions have been pre-tested plus no written communication to score in the Sims.
To Anonymous post at 4:26: Do not assume you will fail! You have as good a chance of passing as failing after the final review. Keep the faith, as hard as it may be. May be a long weekend though if you have to wait. :-(
The whole process lacks transparentcy. I still do not understand the magic scale.
I left work at 5:30 pm. No score for AUD yet in DE. Got home at 6:30, found out I passed with a 78 :)
AUD - 11/18 - 78
REG - 11/19 - 67
BEC - 11/20 - 81
FAR - 11/21 - waiting
Hopefully, I only have 1 part to worry of after this.
Whoever said that "The whole process lacks transparentcy." just made the understatement of the year. I am in Utah and still don't have my REG or FAR score.
Alright 80's and 90's scorers, don't gloat! Who cares as long as you pass :) You might have to put down your GPA on your resume, but as long as you put down the three letters, "CPA", nobody cares about your scores :) Has anybody prepped for 1/2 year and pass all 4 in the 90s, excluding the non full time employees
I have been checking for my score in the state board website (not yet received). Can you also check for scores in NASB?
If you can, where in NASB can you check?
One of my co-workers passed all four parts in 6 months and I believe her scores were all in the high 80's and 90's, and she works CRAZY hours.
any idea about FAR in Michigan? will it be there tomorrow 7.00 am morning CST?
"Person who received AUD in NY,
May I ask what you got?"
81
Not all states allow you to check your scores through the nasba website. From the NASBA website, select your jurisdiction and see if "scores" is an option for your state.
FYI - your score does not determine when your score will post so don't worry. I got a 75 on FAR today in CA... took it 11/18. Makes me feel better after my 74 on BEC!
Hey guys does anyone know if all grades are suppose to be released before christmas day or is there a chance that they will postpone them til after?
I'm in TN. I've been checking for my AUD score 2-3 times a day for the past three days. I checked sometime around 7am...no score...noon...no score...6:30pm...score: 86!!!
Still waiting on FAR. If I passed (which I really think I did), I'm done :-D
I am hopeful FAR in MA will post tomorrow in AM
I took FAR in NY on 10/4. I received my score on 11/26 (first wave) and got a 75.
Attention all you ppl who are taking this test a score of 75 indicates performance that reflects sufficient knowledge and skills to protect public interest
do not forget
Kris said-
Are any of you eagerly expecting the score from TX for FAR as they received the score today and can process over night. If I ever go to statebody committee after I become CPA, my first agenda will be processing on friday night post them on saturday morning. I realy care future CPA's health. Too much acid for CPA can lead to qualify the financial statement even though they lack no material misstatement.
No score info sent from the AICPA to Boards on Friday. Hopefully the remainder will be out b/f Christmas. In 2007, a small group was released after Christmas. Let's hope that doesn't happen this year.
Hang in there!
no REG scores this morning in MICHIGAN..... =( I'll cry if they aren't in by CHRISTmas.
Has anyone received the score by mail before online?
any news about far?
No REG in NH either...
No FAR in MA this AM yet
No FAR in CO
anyone in NJ get FAR yet?
From NJ and took FAR on 11/26. Still waiting for score.
NJ, no FAR yet (tested 11/17)
No FAR yet in TX for me, anyone else?
sorry everyone...waiting is the worst part of the cpa exam experience.
No FAR in NY.
do scores go up on Monday am ever?
Last night was a painful night trying to keep myself busy until this morning to check for scores. I can't imagine what kind of anxiety I'll have the rest of the weekend. No FAR in CO.
after you fail audit on a friday, you're kinda relieved there's no far on saturday. or monday.
if FAR is not up this morning that means they did not upload the batch last night. which means the earliest they can upload it is Monday; resulting in a Tuesday realease.
now please someone prove me wrong...
I've gotten scores on a Monday morning before through NASBA.
Last May I got my score via mail on Saturday and received online Tuesday AM. Check your mail today!!!!
Haha anonymous at 8:22 you know the same thing crossed my mind.
Well, at least in Texas, they run the batch on Sunday night, not Friday night.
No FAR TX this morning. Can anybody tell if we can see our score monday morning for sure or we have to wait untill tuesday .
I have received score on monday around 9.30 but never before 9.00. Looks like they run the batch in the monday morning around 8.30 rather than sunday night.
awful. NASBA emailed me back friday and said that they had recieved FAR scores for MA on THURSDAY at least and were going to post them by friday night/sat morning...liars!
NASBA released FAR for Wave 2 of the last window on a Monday...I predicted Monday the 22nd in the original post...I thought *maybe* they would release it today because they had the scores...to answer the question - they DO release scores on Monday mornings.
Email the TX board and ask about FAR release. They may have released but you could be in the 14% that NO boards have gotten yet. :-(
exam@tsbpa.state.tx.us Probably won't hear anything 'til Monday, but worth a shot.
Well i don't know about u guyz but i love waiting. Even though ur saying it looks like monday it will be released i will still check this weekend like a madman.
I still haven't received my REG scores in CA!!! Anyone in CA receive theirs?
Tom petty is not a cpa
the prep is the hardest part the waiting is the stupidest part
I had an interesting fortune from a fortune cookie..."When winter comes, the heavens will rain success upon you." Well, winter solstice is Sunday, so I'm hoping my FAR score comes in Monday and proves this fortune cookie right!
The prep is mute point. It all depends on the draw you get on exam day. I got a simulation on Foriegn Exchange, the smallest section on FAR. Also, you face the "Magic Scale"
They say you need a 75 with the "Magic Scale" I say you need an 85.
FAR is by the far the worst exam ever...waiting for that exam score is the worst thing ever. I hope they throw out some sims on mine haha
i think you meant moot point. good thing you went into accounting and not english haha
Jeff, you mentioned NASBA released Wave 2 FAR scores on a Monday last testing window. Do you recall when Illinois received those scores?
11:52 Post.
Mute, Moot it is just semantics.
There is no money in English so once I become a CPA I will make the "Big Bucks"
Still haven't received my FAR score in CA, but others have, what does this mean?
once I pass CPA and have my license how much I should be making at minium. Right now I make 38000 with MBA degree.
I have already passed 3 and waiting for FAR giant score. Should I start look for job, i know 38 k is not much for MBA and CPA with couple of years experince. Some practicle advice needed. My company is good with lots of benifet but not much money.
Still haven't received my FAR score in CA, but others have, what does this mean?
That means you are in 14 % borderline score. More chances of failing than passing, Need lots of prayer.
Hold off on the prayers! I do not think any FAR CA scores have been released!
No FAR in Utah. Hoping for Monday or Tuesday. I will have a more restful Christmas if the scores are released before .. or not. ;)
To annonymous posted at 12/20 1:53 PM: My old dumb boss made $90K with an MBA. And I don't think having an MBA makes him smart. Sometimes it is not your credentials, but it is who you know and how you work the system.
I'm still not convinced that a run of the mill MBA provides a very good return on your investment. Most programs cost between $20k-$40k and a CPA designation is less expensive and carries more weight in my opinion/perception.
To answer the question...a CPA/MBA should be making $60k minimum. Adjust accordingly if you enjoy your industry and get some intangible benefits out of it, but it pays less.
I am making close to $60K now in my 2nd year after my graduate degree in accounting. I don't think at the current moment, a CPA license will greatly enhance my pay. It is an investment for much later down the road. My grad school in acccounting costed about $40K though. Still working hard to pay the interest on the loans...LOL
Any FARE up for Delaware yet?
I think somebody said the worst part of the CPA exam is waiting for the scores. I disagree. The worst part is studying so dang hard that your wife leaves you, you go through two CPA review programs and STILL CANNOT PASS!!! That is pretty bad. After that experience, the waiting for my score is a little bit of a minor detail.
I still haven't received my REG score in NY and I took it on 10/18. Let me just tell you how frustrated I am.
I walked into and out of that exam feeling pretty damn confident. Granted I did not completely finish my second simulation but it was so ambiguous that I thought maybe it was a test question. Anyways, I would just really like to receive my grade and hopefully it will be passing.
I didn't feel confident about BEC and I passed with a 78. I tried to understand the comments posted by ED about the grades that haven't been released.
So if I understood him correctly....I DIDN'T PASS THE EXAM AND THEY ARE REVIEWING MY EXAM TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYWAY THEY COULD GIVE ME ADDITIONAL CREDIT?
That is so discouraging. I knew I was borderline, but I at least thought that maybe I was like 73-77 range. To know that I don't even have a passing grade right now is frustrating.
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest.
I feel pretty bad after paying $3K for my review program and failed REG, still waiting on FARE. I did pass the other 2 parts on first try though. I guess it could have worked better if I had taken the test for each part right after the end of the review for that part. 5 months of prep for all four parts and 1 week of exam for all of them was a bit much for me, I guess. I am sure it is doable to some but I am not one of them. Oh well, at least I have at most only 2 parts to worry after this. Hope I don't have to study taxes and financial at the same time.
People, Ed has to be WRONG about the boarderline assumption...
I passed with a 75 in CA and took the test 11/18. You are just unlucky and haven't received your score yet. When you receive your score has no bearing on how well you did. My friend also waited 8 weeks for FAR and got an 82. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.
Also, my friend got AUD back on the first day all scores were released in CA and got a 72. I would say that that is "close to cut." She also took the exam late November.
So I can still get an score of at least 75!
salaries are HEAVILY dependent on location/cost of living!
I will contact the AICPA tomorrow about those scores still not released and clarify exactly what "category" they fall in. If my assumption/statement about second review of this final release, I will post that immediately. Do NOT lose hope! Better to wait to get a second review by a human grader than not to pass!
Meant to say that if my assumption about second review is incorrect, I will post that immediately. Shouldn't try to type this late on a Sunday night.
TX is updating batch. Watch out for your lovely 75 on FAR
5am has come and gone in Michigan...and yet still no REG score. Maybe tomorrow... =(
FAR scores have posted for GA. A 78 and I'm finally done! That was the worst 6 months ever. Good luck to those still waiting and thanks for this site to help get me through.
FAR up in NY.
Thanks for keeping this site :)
FAR is out in CT on NASBA Monday AM...I squeaked by! 3 down, 1 to go!
FAR out in NY. 99!
Any NJ score yet anyone?
I just got a 74 in FAR after a 10 week wait for my grade. I feel like I just got punched in the face
85 on FAR in New Jersey! I am done!!!!! Passed all 4 the first go around =)
Anyone get CO FAR yet?
For what its worth, I emailed the NJ rep and got this message. I don't know if that means that scores will not be released until Tuesday.
"Criseyda Navarro is out of the office.
I will be out of the office starting 12/18/2008 and will not return until
12/23/2008."
FAR out in AK...79, 3 down 1 to go!

FAR up in MA
FAR up in NJ. I passed! 3 down, 1 to go!
from NJ... no FAR score yet
7:20 post MA: what was your score?
FAR is out in NY through NASBA. Jeff you are the MAN! Thank you so much for this website and plenty of support to fellow CPA candidates.
I'm sick of this, Reg marks still not up (Colorado) for me. Do they understand that they have to release the marks 'cause people are anxiously waiting, or did they forget to do that? How long does it take to mark the fre*kin' exam???
Can somebody ask Colorado coordinator about Reg exam, I've called her about four times including today since Thursday last week and she doesn't seem to respond to me well? She keeps telling me that they aren't up yet. Can somebody find out what is going on with Reg marks not yet release in Colorado.
What's the phone number for the CO coordinator? I'm waiting for my FAR score and will call.
NY FAR scores in this morning. I got an 84!!!!
Well my Utah FAR score is up and and I didn't pass. I only got a 68. That was the 4th time. The weird thing is that I still don't have my REG score yet.
Any info about REG scores in WI??? Still waiting and don't remember seeing anyone post that they received theirs. Suspense is killing me. Merry Christmas
rwillard@nasba.org
Thats CO cordintor's email, as for ph no. talk to Client Rep, and they'll forward you to her. Let me know what she say about your FAR and my Reg.
thanks
Update on WI: On friday I spoke with a NASBA rep recomended by Jeff. That rep said that my score should be up, and to check after 7 on friday and maybe Satruday morning. If not up call back Monday. I called back Monday to find out basically the same thing, the scores should have been sent out in the mail on Friday, and should be in the mail box today or tomorrow. I could not get details on why the website is not working.
I know this is not much help but I wanted to share what I found.
I asked about REG and FAR.
Merry Christmas to all (I hope)
Dan
I received FAR in Utah. 79! I am done. I reached my goal. I can call myself a CPA. I am elated. Success everyone. Never give up! Although you may feel like it sometimes. If you didn't pass. Keep studying! You will reach your goal.
Merry Christmas and a successful 2009!
Edwin V.
Dan, thanks for the update. I'm waiting for REG in Wisco as well and was waiting for someone to answer Jessica's question. I guess I will be patiently waiting for the mailman.
FAR IS OUT IN NEW MEXICO!!! Got a 92, all done!!
AUD 10/4/08 97
BEC 10/28/08 84
FAR 11/14/08 92
REG 11/26/08 83
It can happen...passed them all in one testing window, the first time I took them! Happy Holidays everyone!! Thanks Another71 for the site!
86 on FAR ... 1 down 3 to go!
this pisses me off that we can put a man on the moon and they can't grade a test in a month's time; so if I didn't get my FAR score yet that means I failed.
9:13 post - I have not received FAR yet but I do not think I failed. No one from MA have received FAR yet.
I got my FAR score from CO. Took the exam on 11/17/08. 1 down 3 to go for me.
I tried calling the CO coordinator, but she doesn't answer her phone. Has anyone received a CO FAR score yet? I am going crazy not knowing if it's just the state that hasn't released the scores yet, or if it's me and they're deciding whether or not to give me a passing grade. This is my last part and I have a promotion riding on my passing it, so the wait is literally killing me.
I have already hit refresh 10 times. I have to break the addiction and get some work done.
A person should get their score before leaving the test center for BEC.
so I am waiting on the release of the remaining 20% of REG scores in Illinois and presumably the country....anyone know when these may be released?
NH has released 100% of the FAR scores this morning.
got FAR in CO... :(
no reg NY, should i just assume i failed or what lol.
Next week would be torture.
FAR out in Mass. I failed with a 65! Ithought I passed and I wasn't even close!! THis sucks
I know we probably cannot rely on a state coordinaters answer, but the MI/TN told me to expect REG by the 18th to 23rd, so if they actually do work the 23rd, we could get our scores the morning of christmas eve
My REG score came out about 5 days after the big release once. It was frustrating.
any work on FAR scores in OH?
another71,
I take it that that was one of the 74's you got on REG? (when you waited 5 days after the big release)
Unfortunately, yes...
soooo be ready for a failure :(
do state boards or NASBA ever release scores in the afternoon or do score releases always take place in the morning?
no...just assume that it's probably close...just based on my experience...I could be wrong!
I'm tired of calling my state board and have her not pick up the phone... but not enough to quit calling. :)
Ugh, when is this remaining 20% of REG going to come out?
A71, I think you need an FAQ section on the side or something so the same questions dont get asked everyday
A lot of the scores reported in the blogs above are in the mid 80 - mid 90 range...and they came out in the last round of FAR releases...so I really dont think that a late release of your score means you're borderline...
if 1000 ppl take an example, it is natural that some exams will get graded before others...
I am also waiting for my REG score and know the feeling of anxiety...
...but i dont think it is worth sittin fretting about whether your score is close or not and how the system works...when infact it is like a blackbox...
Lets hope we all pass the magical 75 #...
good point 10:44 post
always pays to cram the week before for these cpa test...3 for 3!
congrats 10:52 post
Seriously!!! I feel like i have been waiting for my REG scores forever! I took the test the day before thanksgiving and I still don't have my results. This is the last one I need and this is maddening.
Does anyone have their REG scores in CA???
When the H are they going to release Michigan "on the Bubble" REG scores?
Blog 11:05...80% of REG nation wide came out last thursday...the rest I hope will be out latest by tomorrow...
LOL...I wish I passed all 4 in 1 try in 1 testing window so I could go to law school. Now I still have 1. I am so jealous with you guys who nailed all of them at once. JERKS!!! :)
Got my FAR score in MA... 84..!!! took the test the first week of Oct.. waiting was brutal but this site really helped a lot.. Another71- you were RIGHT ON with when my score would be released... THANKS!! :)
11:21 post you just got your score now for FAR. You missed the first wave?
I sat 10/13 in PA and still have not received my score.... thinking I am borderline at this rate. Not too hopeful.
^^^for FAR btw.
i am done with exams.. i passed all four togather in first attemp... really its been a great pleasure visiting this blog... i just give 11/18 aud 11/19 bec 11/20 reg 11/21 far and received all results time to time... thanx jeff... this blog was reaaly helpful... thanx for creating it...

IL BOA did not release an update today. So I guess, the rest of REG scores did not came in.

I sat the same day and got my score today of a 74. Take that for what it is worth. Hopefully you have better luck than me.
Anybody get REG in CA?
FAR out in Michigan and I am done!!!!!
AUD 83
BEC 83
REG 82
FAR 80
any predictions on when scores will be released for the Jan/Feb window?P!?P!
is there any possibility that IL BOA will release an update (later) today?
12:56 post
It is usually the third Friday of the follow month from the month the test was taken.
Any news about when VA will release FAR????
if everyone talked about material and study habits instead of waiting for scores this site would be better
I think it is self centered to cry about a grade wait time on a site to promote passing the exam.......are CPA's a bunch of cry babies
I'm a professional I think the majority of people agree they are as well. Everyone else needs to find another profession like myspace if they enjoy being emo.
Another update in WI I got an email from the WI coordinator who said that the scores will be out the first week in Jan for WI.
I really hope she is just covering herself by saying the last possible date they will be released.
Dan
For Virginia FAR folks... just got off Live Chat. Virginia hopes to release all FAR scores by the end of the week. Those they have received have been posted. I couldn't find out what percentage has been received by VA so far. Keep waiting! :(
Nope...no REG score for me in CA.
I took NY REG on November 25th and am still waiting for my score. Should I be worried that i have not received my score yet?
Forcing my co-worker to wait 11 weeks for both his REG and FAR score...now that is unprofessional.
I agree another71...the wait is agonizing and this "unprofessional whining" just shows how important it is to these people and how much they care about it.
I think it's interesting how I haven't seen anyone on here complain about the exam being unfair or how they deserved to pass or anything of that nature...now that would be unprofessional. Merely wanting to know if your hard work has paid off is normal and anyone who thinks otherwise is well, pretty crazy.
Anyway, good luck to everyone and happy holidays! :)
Make all the sections MC. Replace the simulations with a research paper. This will improve the score reporting process.
If this was the case, then BEC would come out weeks ahead of the next section which has sims. As it is, BEC only comes out 2-3 days ahead of REG or AUD.
Re: December 22, 2008 10:44 AM Anonymous wrote "A lot of the scores reported in the blogs above are in the mid 80 - mid 90 range..."
The FAR scores that those candidates just received were in the first large (86%)release in the second wave. The remaining 14% FAR still agonizing are the ones near the cut score. No one has seen those yet b/c the AICPA has not released them to NASBA. Along with the 20% REG near the cut score. AICPA confirmed that for every exam cycle, 15-20% of the scores are near the cut and get the second review. AUD must have gone through second review earlier, hence the 99% sent in the first release of Wave 2.
My guess is that boards will probably hear something from the AICPA tomorrow on most of the remaining scores. This does NOT predict when NASBA will be able to do their thing and get them to the boards, however...
Did anyone who took FAR in Nov receive a score? It seems like the last of the Oct FAR scores was released today
I took FAR on Nov. 7 and received my score of 79 today.
I took FAR in MA and thought I would pass with a very respectible score and scored four points less than my prior exam; 65 to a 61! I just read another comment in MA in which they too thought they passed and they scored in the 60's too. My husband is "in the know" and speaks from experience taking the MCSC. He too had a problem with electronic scoring--the org. said he failed and when he approached them they found an error with the scoring and he actually only missed by 1/2 point. There can be alot of problems with these tests that are undisclosed. Any suggestions as to how to approachm this with NASBA?
You could have scored higher than 61 but was scaled down.
" I couldn't find out what percentage has been received by VA so far."
Take a look at IL... they explain how their percentage released is representative of the nation as a whole as well as each individual state... So VA has released 80%...
still waiting on CA FAR
still no REG scores in Michigan.....has anyone heard anything? Has the AICPA AT LEAST released them to NASBA? Or am I wishing/ hoping in vain? =( Looks like my Christmas will be ruined Christmas eve morning by a "74" or similar "borderline" score. Thanks to all those involved in the scoring process.... :p
Does Borderline mean between 76 - 72 or is it 74 -70. Does anyone know the range?
No FAR in MA for me. I assume I am in the 20% borderline.
Still no REG in NH either....
took far in october in ny. still no score
"Ed" - who knows what they're talking about - has said that "borderline" does not include 75 and 76...that they're not looking to score you down to a 74...they're reviewing the 70-74 range.
Thank Another 71
Has anyone received a late high score like a 90?
Hey all. Took FAR in VA on 11/26/08. Just got the score this morning. 75 baby! BOOYAH!
I'm about at the point where I think they lost my exam. took reg the first week in Oct and no score yet. It will be 3 months next week.
6:49 Post
If your score is late can you assume you failed or has anyone received a late high score
7:56 Post
That is totally uncalled for to leave some hanging like that - completely UNPROFESSIONAL !!!
honestly....the ilboa has a small window of time to redeem themselves by releasing the remaining scores before christmas...why doese something tell me they won't get the job done!!
the hacks left for Christmas
CPA WantABE
booooo these hacks
Are you sure that they have left for Christmas?
I am just kinding! I have no idea what goes thru their minds!
CPA WantABE
Just received my VA score and got a 76!!
I spoke with Mayland BOA about my FAR. He indicated that FAR takes the longest in reporting its scores. He also indicated that it does not seem as though NASBA will release the scores before cristmas but good chance nasba will release the score before end of the year. I am still hoping by some miracle scores will be released before Xmas
Still no REG in NH either....
Per my source on the FAR release late last week...the AICPA released some additional FAR and REG scores yesterday to NASBA
So does that mean they'll post those additional Reg and FAR online tonight, or during the day today???
I have giving up on checking scores. I will wait until a receive bad news via mail. Maybe on January 15 I will receive the score!
Another 71...when you say that the AICPA released scores to NASBA, does that mean that they release them directly to the states (ie TX) that report the scores directly to their candidates as well?
Thanks for your website, it is a great resource and has helped motivate me for this exam.
I took AUD on 7/1 and FAR on 7/31.
I received FAR on 8/20 and AUD first week of Oct.
Yes - the state boards should be rolling out scores shortly as well. Good luck!
When do you think scores on NASBA will show up?
Don't hold me to this, my guess is tomorrow AM...they're closed Wed-Fri.
Thanks for your estimate.
From past exams is there a percentage of late scores that pass?
From past exams is there a percentage of late scores that pass?
no one answers this! haha
I don't know the %, but I bet that most of the scores are within 3 points of a 75 either way. (i.e. 73-78).
Wow - the cold reality stinks.
I am going to make sure next time I study more and do not put myseft in this situation again.
A71 - I took my REG in the emergency window (Dec 5th) after the actual testing window closed. This was due to a computer malfunction on my actual exam date of Nov 28th.
The fact that I dont have my score yet, is that due to it being borderline or could it also be that they received my exam so late that even if my score is higher than the 73 - 78 range, it is being held up....(i.e. any insights on whether exams taken on Nov 30th or in the emergency window get delayed simply because the tests were so close to the result date)
Thanks!
To add to the above discusion.
The date taken has no bearing on the release date. It is more a function of the score?
Yikes...that's a new one. Dont' assume that you're in the 73-78 range...your exam is just being graded late I bet.
My understanding is that if your score doesn't make the cut for the big release - they're checking and re-checking your score. This is based on what I've been told.
another71.com said...
I don't know the %, but I bet that most of the scores are within 3 points of a 75 either way. (i.e. 73-78).
Thanks gives me hope!
I took AUD the first day (7/1) of a test window and got my score almost three month later (10/03). I learned my lesson and I try to schedule the exam on the last day of the test window to minimize the wait.
-you got a 75 twice. I got a 74 twice. You suck
Checking my score has became an addiction!
CPA WantABe
I can vouch for the fact that getting 74 twice is cruel and unusual punishment.
After WAITING and WAITING for my FAR score, receiving a score of 74 is just BRUTAL; BRUTAL I say. To all those who was not fortunate to PASS, lets keep chugging along. And congrats to all those who did pass, you guys earned it.
Suddenly it does not feel like a holiday.
Getting my 2nd 74 on REG felt like getting slammed in the stomach by an aluminum bat. You stare at the two cruel and unforgiving numbers in paralyzing disbelief. I lost FAR because of my 2nd 74, but I made a comeback and passed both. You can as well!
...and good luck trying to explain to your relatives how you missed the exam by 1 point again..."it's one point, but it's not really 1 point...it could be several questions...it's not a percentage either...ahh i give up..."
Thanks for the encouraging words
Give eveyone 3 points for spelling their name correctly. I gues you need to draw a line somewhere. I have a hard time figuring out the scale. Are people scaled down or up?
MD FAR is out! 78!!!
Any more updates from WI?? I didn't receive anything in the mail yesterday, hoping for today. Dan, was it the same person that told you scores were mailed Friday and then said they would be mailed the first week of January? Or was it two different people?
MD with 78
When do you check your grade? I have been check my grade all morning, is it worth checking this afternoon?
I also got my MD FAR score! 76! That was close! Three down and REG to go.
Is there a method to the release of scores, or is it something that is done periodically throughout the day?
I received my DC REG via US Mail today. I took it in the first wave, and scored outside of the border (70-80). There doesn't appear to be the pattern everyone is worried about.
So, everyone, keep the faith!
And really, really, the Yaeger program works.
Am I wasting my time checking scores in the afternoon?
If you're checking your score via NASBA during the day - then yes, you're wasting your time, unfortunately....they only update early in the morning.
Thanks Another 71 - you saved me time
RE: 12/23 11:01 AM post Update on WI
The first person I talked to on Friday was different than the WI Coordinator who left me a message on Monday for scores in Jan.
My guess is that the Monday message was left to tell me the last dates they will be released by for sure, so that I do not keep calling.
I also did not get anything from my OCT. 6th FAR or my Nov 26th Reg... Thats right folks I am at 11 weeks and counting. Sweet.
Anyway hope this helps
Dan
How come IL BOA is not updating anymore?
Thanks for the update Dan!
IL BOA finally updates:
FAR ? 100% of all FAR exams taken by IL candidates Tues. December 23, 2008
REG ? 99+% of all REG exams taken by IL candidates Tues. December 23, 2008
ILBOA updates our web page as soon as the actual score file is sent to us by NASBA and loaded to our database for lookup. There is no point in posting a message that says: AICPA sent scores to NASBA yesterday but we have no clue when they may or may not be processed by NASBA. And no clue when the score file will be sent to us so we can process. That is counterproductive and just generates more angst for you candidates.
Re the post:
"Good Luck - a Government hack just collecting a paycheck doesn't care about your score!" and "honestly....the ilboa has a small window of time to redeem themselves by releasing the remaining scores before christmas...why doese something tell me they won't get the job done!!"
Fooled you, didn't we? We have posted scores before 7:00 a.m. on many occasions, on Saturday and on Sunday. The state boards are only one segment of the entire process and for the most part try hard to serve CPA candidates well.
I know those of you still visiting this site at this point are tired and frustrated of the wait. All I can do it hope that if you weren't successful this time around that you follow Jeff's advice and hang in there. The business world needs CPAs, as well as the education community. Many opportunities will hopefully come your way when you are finally done.
The sometimes cranky, soon to be retired, but still smiling, IL E.D.
Anyone complaining about the ILBOA doesn't know what they are talking about. They should realize how lucky they are to have a great state board. Constantly providing updates, the ILBOA website is the information center for the entire US (at least it feels that way). I wish my state board (PA by the way), was half as informative of the ILBOA!!
I am in MA, I have to wait for NASBA to post. IL people have extra layer of information.
RE: IL BOA Finally Updates
Does this mean the REG scores for the remaining states should be released on NASBA tomorrow morning?
wow, I feel like I am getting close to the end of a really good movie! What a twist to the story by "ED's" post!!
so if I haven't received my score on REG yet you think the delay is more of a factor of a second review and potentially an indication I've failed?
So far, people have left the following scores on here:
75
76
76
78
74
75
ED - your contributions on here are very much welcomed and appreciated!
Can anyone that passed give insight on how to tackle AUD, I've sat for it 2 times( 73 then 72) going on my 3rd time. Plz help I've passed all the other 3 parts on 1st try so I'm clueless now. Thanks
Take a review class - drop the extra money, you only have one left.
I read the Bisk AUD materials twice and worked all of the MCQs twice and got an 88 on the first try. I did however study close to 100 hours.
I also memorized the Standard Audit Report, Compilation and Review Reports.
I think you'll find an equal amount of candidates sitting there frustrated with a 72/73/74 on all of the sections.
These are prime candidates for a cram...70-74.
I added the new Yaeger Cram demos to left sidebar...check it out to see if you like it...they vary in price from $99-$199 (Wiley book is extra). After being doomed to never passing BEC, Yaeger's cram added 9 points to my score - which is why I swear by their products. Save $5 + free shipping with the 71cram code. Good luck!
2008 pass rates by section for first three quarters per the AICPA
AUD 49.95%
BEC 48.2%
FAR 50.38%
REG 48.8%
For auditing I recommend doing a lot of practice questions. I used Becker and did every single audit multiple choice questions three times and there were about 1,000 questions in the course if you include the supplemental. But when you do the questions you have to understand the theory behind it and not just memorize the answer. I looked at the answers and read them as well and figured out why the other answers didn't work. Hope this helps and good luck you are so close!
Same here when I used Beckers for Auditing, I did questions over questions, the explanation given teaches you more than the lectures itself. The Simulations given with Beckers were extremely helpful also.
can someone prove me wrong. Is it true that no scores have been posted on NASBA for the state of WI as of yet????
I am hopeful to see my score tomorrow morning. I will not bet on it. If the grade is not there I think it will be early January
My REG score better be there tomorrow morning....OR ELSE!!!!!......OR ELSE I'll be waiting another week! =(
To add to the discussion about whether scores released late are because they're borderline:
I took AUD on July 9 and FAR in August and got both scores in October (meaning I waited almost 3 months for my AUD score). I got a 96 and 89 respectively.
so you're telling us there's a chance.... =)
some ppl get lucky some ppl study
some pple get unlucky
and I think many ppl postinh here lie about there scores anything over a 75 on the cpa is wasted effort
75 is the score of public confidence
do your best and what it is will be
give 125% and sacrifice
People don't lie about their scores on here...it's anonymous - why would they? I'm no more surprised by a 95 than a I am 65.
5:01 in MI...still no REG. Any luck with any other states?
I got MA FAR this morning at 4:45 AM. I got a 75.
Within 2pts of being a CPA. Got a 73 on AUD. As a result I lost BEC.
Glass half filled: The 75 could have been a 74 and I have the two hardest sections behind me.
CPA WantABE
Just got my FAR score in NJ. 76 Thx you Jesus. God is wonderful.
seeing a 75 for my FAR score right now was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen. merry xmas...there IS a santa!! done with REG, BEC, and now FAR...didnt pass audit but i blame that on a matter of being burnt out so ill take some CPA studying break and retry after busy season. soooooo happy i never have to look at my huge FAR book again!
Does anyone have REG yet?
Is there a wave 3? I took REG on Oct 22 and still no results yet for NH.
thanks for ruining my Christmas NASBA and the AICPA...now I'll be thinking of my REG scores every second until nxt week.....
Still no REG score in Ohio. Took exam on 10/10...this is torture! Think they will be up later today like AUD was, or maybe tomorrow morning?
I doubt you could call anybody at NASBA to find out the problem...anybody live in Nashville that could go down there and bust some heads?
It is unacceptable that the AICPA and NASBA can put off publishing score results like this, especially after raising the prices in a down economy.
Still no sighting of REG in NH...where are u REG? Show thy self....
Jeff - any word from the Big Birdie regarding REG?!
I want to thank you Another71 for this blog and introducing me to Dr. Yaeger's review. I FINALLY passed FAR with a 75 (NY). FARE is the part that lost me credits for 3 other parts back in 2005 and I had stopped taking the exam after that (until I started again last summer), so it feels really good to finally pass.
Niki
Not here. CA.
I too have not received REG in MI yet...maybe it'll show up a bit later in the morning like AUD did last week.
One MA FAR out today(above). Did anyone else get a MA FAR
i havent received reg either im in NH is there any chance they'll be released later today?
NASBA has no heart. I'm tired of waiting for my REG grade. If I failed, just tell me I failed. Ps. No REG in NY.
Why r they being late with Reg? we wanna enjoy Xmas for god's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still no REG in NH...
I say the 18 mos clock should start running after one receives their grade - some people had to wait 3 mos - cruel punishment
I did mine on Oct 27 in colorado, and still nothing... WTF!!!!!!!!!
Still no REG here in NH either..
so im not the only person who hasnt got their REG score in NH thats a relief!
Can I ask something to everybody who are waiting for their Reg marks here... is this your last exam and can you guys still check you previous marks at NASBA's website???
No REG for me
yeah it is my last exam and i can check all other at NASBA but i did all four in the same week in NOV , i think u can only exams that were done in the current testing window so if u did them before oct i dont think they will show up
oh ok, I thought since this is my last exam, they are having second thoughts about giving me the certificate which is the cause of such a delay :)
Can somebody try calling them or are they closed, my coordinator (CO) got some beef with me, I never get a clear answer?
No dont worry about that! :) we are all hanging in there for the REG, may God help us all and may we all Pass!
i tried calling the BOA in NH they know nothing, is there anybody else we can call like the NASBA or even the AICPA im up to it just give me the numbers
I usually just call 1800CPAExam and than have CSR forward me to the coordinator who for like 100th time just gives me one answer, "You're marks aren't in?"
Well all, so much for fortune cookies...Although January is still winter...64 and no joy. Congratulations to those that passed! Time to dig back in. This is a great outlet, Thanks Jeff! One more to go...
somebody mentioned yesterday that they received some more Reg marks... than how come nobody got any Reg marks today? Am I mistaken?
No Reg in Utah yet. I took the exam on 11/29
I'm in MA and took REG on 11/6 - no score again today :-(
AUgh I am so frustrated like everyone else but I took REG on 10/18 and still haven't gotten anything....It's been 9.5 weeks. I am going to be livid if they post them tomorrow. Does anyone know how often they can find enough points to pass you once it reaches this review stage?
Got my FAR score in CO...a big fat 77. This was my last part and I am finally done. Thank you so much for this website, it has been my lifeline for the past 2 weeks. Good luck to the rest of you!
yep - waited 11 wks just to find out today REG 74. talk about coal in your stocking on Christmas Eve :(
Got a 75 on FAR for NY. Praising the Lord right now.
Don't give up guys.
And thanks for this blog A71.
To the Anonymous post above: You got a 74 posted on REG today....what state are you in? NASBA release?
I passed. Yeagar gave me the extra edge. I went from a 69 to a 79. Thanks Jeff. Yeagar mos def helped me pass this beast
Fun times!!! No REG score for me in CA still... This is my last freaking part and this is really stupid!!!
No REG in NH yet...
re: "I took AUD on July 9 and FAR in August and got both scores in October (meaning I waited almost 3 months for my AUD score). I got a 96 and 89 respectively."
There are 2 basic reasons for scores coming later in the release cycle. If you get an exam with new "panels" in the Sims, the AICPA will do additional QC to validate them and they will wait for sufficient exam volume before releasing. That's what happened to AUD and FAR in the July-Aug exams. You obviously weren't in the bubble category (congrats, btw)
The smaller, later releases of scores at the very end, such as FAR and REG for Oct-Nov, are the bubble group.
But the mystery is, you don't know for sure which group is released when, so the moral of the story is, don't give up hope for a 75!
RE: December 24, 2008 11:35 AM
Well, we 'bubblers' are definately hanging in there hoping that its worth all the wait!! Thx for the post.
No REG (10/28) or AUD (11/22)scores for me in MA. Bah humbug!
I just found out that my promotion my depend on the my last score, REG score! Colorado wasup
Anyone has handful tips for Regulations? Do I need to remember all the AGI phase out limit and deduction limit?Thanks
Have a great holiday!
CA 2 more to go!
Take a look at CPAExcel (www.cpaexcel.com). They have a very well organized study material that is broken into bitesized topics - makes it much more manageable if you are a working professional. I used a combination of CPAExcel and Yaeger audio tapes and that combination worked for me for AUD and FAR. I am still waiting for my REG score and keeping my fingers crossed...
Hope that helps!
-Ai
PS: Still no REG score in NH....
Anyone else heard anything??
-Ai
Re:In response to: can someone prove me wrong. Is it true that no scores have been posted on NASBA for the state of WI as of yet????
I'm from WI and took FAR Nov 25 --nothing yet. Anyone else from WI?
I'm from WI also and took AUD Nov. 19, my co-worker took REG Nov. 18, neither of us have received scores yet....
happy holidays :(
from WI as well and took REG on Nov. 26th still no score. a co-worker took it a couple of days before I did and got his 77 yesterday. He was the first person that I heard of that got their score at this point.
Merry Christmass Ya'll!
Tell Santa to give Nasba & AICPA coal for Christmas for holding off REG scores.
Coal? They should be let go from their jobs, there is a lot of efficient people people out of work right now that could do a better job.
Odd thing happend so time tonight - my OASIS page now reports that my section has been scored. I wonder if this means that a grade will come out tomorrow.
Anonymous Post @ 8:22 PM. I just checked the OASIS page and also got the following updated message:
"The section(s) of your NTS have been attended and scored. The score(s) reported generated a notice to be mailed to you. If you do not receive your notice via US Mail within 10 business days, please contact our office at 1-866-MY-NASBA."
I think we should be getting our score online tomorrow...fingers crossed....
Mine still said the following:
Your file has been sent for generation of your Notice to Schedule (NTS). This process takes up to 72 business hours. Should you not receive your NTS after 72 business hours, you are required to contact our office at 1-866-MY-NASBA.
I'VE ALREADY TAKEN THE FRINKING EXAMS.
Anonymous Post @ 8:55 PM
Don't know what to tell you...did you also take REG?
your best bet is to check for your score tomorrow ...and if you dont receive it, call NASBA first thing Monday morning....
All the best!
A71 - do you know when NASBA kicks of a batch for processing? I recall earlier posts abt a 3:30 am refresh....is that accurate?
Still waiting for my REG score in Ohio that I took on 10/10. Just checked and my Oasis page got updated on NASBA to say that all scores have been processed...I think scores will be up tomorrow for all of us. Ugh! Good luck everyone. This is my last one to pass, so praying for a Christmas miracle!!!
Same at this end buddy...waiting for REG in NH and last one to pass....
wish you the very best...
fk... just got my Reg marks, wut a way to ruin holidays... 73!!!!... I've never sat for re-exam, can anybody tell me how re-register for the exam or order NTS. Let me know ASAP because I wanna sit for it as soon as possible.
DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!
I just failed Reg, I still have my Reg beckers package from 2008 edition, should I still use the same because I think its very helpful and exactly what I need, just need to study little harder. Or do you guys suggest its not good enough?
Passed REG with an 80 in Ohio...officially a CPA now! Thanks for the blog another71....really helped with my insanity about the exams. Take care everyone, and best of luck in getting through. It can be done :-)
I'm done with a 75! Thank god and Santa!! I'm from NH BTW.
OMG!!! Its all done...just got my REG score....got a 79...I am done!!!!!!
I am from NH as well.
For those that passed, congrats !!!
For those that didnt or have sections to go....stick with it....persist....you will make it...
God Bless!!!!!
PS: Jeff - Thanks for the terrific site...I discovered it too late (i.e. after my last REG exam...but it was of tremendous during the last 10 days)...Happy Holidays!!!
PPS: Final Scores:
BEC: 83
AUD: 87
FAR: 83 (2nd try)
REG: 79 (3rd try)
An insane 18 months ending five years of anguish....
ITS JOLLYYYY JOOLLLYYYYY XMAS!!!!!!!!!
OMG I just got my REG score, it wasn't there all day yesterday. 75!!! Woo-hoo! I am glad they found a few more points on my test! Thanks Santa! Thanks ED! and of course Thanks A71! Merry Christmas
Passed @ 77 in TN. Wow.. so happy. Thanks God and this site along my CPA journey. Merry Christmas!
Wow, it only took 3 months, but what a great present. My sincere sympathies go out to anyone who waited from the first wave with me and didnt pass, but as the good A71 says, "keep moving forward"
This is ridiculous for Nasba to release the score today instead of yesterday. Although I passed, I felt sorry for those that didn't and got their score today.
72 in TN. Nothing like a lump of coal in your stocking for christmas.
I got a 78 in REG. That makes two 78's and a 68 for the tests that I took in November, passing REG and BEC and not passing FAR. I am going to take Audit in January. Hey 71, should I purchase the CRAM or regular from Yaeger to help me get me over the top for FAR??
Checked NASBA for the 8,000th time while my kids were opening presents this morning. 73 on BEC. Merry effing Christmas to me. ;o(
just got reg 78! Ny.
Merry Christmas 71!
Just got my reg score. 76! I passed 3 exams this window and 1 exam last window. Take advantage of the summer and fall before you start your full time job. No more stress. Good luck and keep up the studying. You'll get past it!
Woke up and checked to see if my score was posted in CA... got a 77! I'm done! Thanks A71! This blog has helped me while I was waiting for my last score.
What a fantastic Christmas present...a 78 for REG in CA!! Kinda takes the edge off of that 74 in AUD from last month...
Hey everyone,
1. Merry Christmas ~ if any of you have little kids and multiple families ~ you know that I'm exhausted :)
2. Congrats to the passing REG and FAR scores that came out (and everyone else too...the REG crowd was the red-headed stepchild in this window for some reason)
3. For everyone that failed - you've seen my struggle with REG (74, 74) and you know the product that I used (92) to pass it finally.
You owe it to yourself to get it. 90% of the candidates that have heeded my advice and purchased Yaeger's cram or HomeStudy have passed after buying it. 70-74 should get the cram...lower than 70 should get the HomeStudy. $295 for a book, software, DVDs, handouts, instructor hotline is a steal.
If you studied your tail off and failed this window - it's time for Yaeger. I passed with it and so can you.
4. I deleted a message about selling used products. I can't allow that legal pandora's box to be opened...that will get me into real trouble if I allow it...I know you all understand.
Again - Merry Christmas...I'll be in and out from now until the end of the weekend.
Jeff
Hi All
I just passed all parts of my cpa exam using Yaegar's audio tapes and CPAExcel.
However, I wanted to make everyone on this site aware of the following site:
https://www.cpareviewforfree.com/
It was founded by Joe Hoyle - my professor from undergrad....this site has tons of free CPA exam questions by topic...I have not checked out the site myself but the prof himself was a genius and from my undergrad experience...I highly recommend checking out this site...you can also search for Hoyle on youtube and watching video tips for taking the cpa exam...
Hope this helps....good luck to everyone....keep working on it...you can pass this beast!!
Thanks for sharing the site. I've seen it before but didn't use it. For one, I think Joe wrote the questions himself, whereas the questions in the Wiley book and software for instance are actual questions from previous CPA Exams.
You have to buy an expensive license to reprint previous exam questions and I don't think that site did that - which is why it's free.
It's a nice thing that he did for candidates, but after going through my lectures and working MCQs in the Wiley book and software - I didn't have time for anything else. If you've done all of the MCQs from your review package once - and if you have time - twice, then you should be at Prometric taking the exam.
Just my take - please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Got REG in MI. Randomly checked this morning and it was posted.
AICPA released the final scores to NASBA late on Dec. 23. IL uploaded to our database Christmas morning. From the fewer postings here, it appears that most folks have gotten their scores.
I will post an update on the ILBOA site ASAP but the office is closed and I won't ask my tech guy to work 365/24/7.
I am glad I found this blog b/c it helped me see some issues that could be better addressed re: scoring and how misinformation can fuel the fires of doubt and worry.
For those who are done with the exam, congrats. For those not, keep up the fight and take the good advice about studying on this site and others. My best wishes to you all in 2009.
Joanne Vician
still no REG for me in WI. I don't know what I'm going to do when I actually see a number in that box; whatever it may be. I've seen that error message so many times that it's led me to check my section ID repeatedly and even question if I know my own birthday hahaa.
I hear ya above, I have been waiting 11 weeks and 4 days for my REG score in WI. I just dont care what the score is at this point. I just want to know. If their goal was to break me I think they are doing a good job at that. Not to mention I called a guy from Nasba that has given help in the past his voicemail said he is gone till Jan 6th I really hope that does not mean I am waiting till then for my score.
The Yaeger CRAM seems like a good deal For $100 to add 10 points to your score
A71...I haven't received my FAR score in TX. Is there anyway that I do not get it prior to the beginning of the next testing window? Thanks
guys i got 73 on reg this with beckers reg package 2008. I was wondering if I should order Yaeger cram package since its like 250 bucks or study harder from the same beckers stuff I have (I should've studied harder before).
Jeff - thanks for your response above at December 26, 2008 8:38 AM...just a few quick things:
A- I completely agree with you that the Wiley books can be considered the holy grail when it comes to preparing for the CPA exam. It contains actual questions, which in a lot of cases (like REG) get repeated on the actual exam...
B- I also am a big fan of Phil Yeager - I used his audio tapes for FAR and REG and they were helpful in revising stuff when I was commuting or just didnt want to be staring at a book / laptop... Phil, if you read this post, many thanks and great job!
Having said the above, I found CPAExcel (www.cpaexcel.com) the most useful when it came to covering a ton of material in a short amount of time....they provide the ability to study from any remote location by either logging on their website or through a software you can install on your laptop that gets updated every time you log in....this great for road warriors like me) ...the three best aspects about the cpaexcel software are: 1) all the topics are broken into bite sized lectures and notes (no study sheet is more than 3 pages or so) and hits on the major areas 2) the software actually contains actual CPA questions straight from the Wiley book. 3) Once you buy CPAExcel, you can use it for life...and every time you log in or kick start your software, the material gets updated...now i hope no one here will spend their life taking the CPA exam, but its good to know that your material is always up to date and you dont need to repurchase material...
I had one bad experience with Yeagar when I thought my REG material from 2006 was outdated...so I bought another set of REG audio tapes...only to find out that there were no updates b/w 2006 and 2008. Just a minor thing and not something i hold against Phil - i would still recommend his material without any reservations...
Last, about Joe Hoyle...my experience from Intermediate Accounting II was that Hoyle's content and material were always a notch tougher than the actual CPA exam questions...students would dread his class but always aknowledged that what they learnt from him stuck...he also used to run a review course back when the CPA exam was paper based and his success rate was in the mid 90% with ppl driving 2 hours down from the DC area to attend his weekend review courses....therefore, I agree - everyone should hit the wiley book hard...but if there are some of you that have the tendency to unintentionally memorize questions only to later get stumped during the actual exam if there is a question with a twist...Hoyle's material may be useful in trying smthg a notch above the actual exam question....(i must reassert that i did not find Hoyle's site till yesterday once i had already passed all my sections..but i do have great respect for his work and i am sure it can be really useful).
Hope that helps those who might still have a few sections left...this exam is all about perserverance ...so "keeping moving forward"
best wishes!
Great posts guys. Thank you!
I love the cram cd I just bought and it works great with my cpaexcel material (I just listen and then pause and look up stuff that I need more detail on); I am actually feeling better about all the wide range of stuff I have to know in BEC.
Only thing about the cram cd is they talk about wiley book problem numbers too much
I think they could have saved a bunch of jibber jabber (prob close 1.5 hrs worth!)and just listed them on the hand.
either way I like the video all in all and I am going into BEC with a positive mind and a stong determination to win this battle!
01/02/09 I am passing BEC!!
Hoyle; reviewforfree is awesome and the questions are super intense much better for those that like a challenge they will have on the actual test day.
Hoyle deserves a medal and the key to the city for being a defender of public interest.
In response to Anonymous blogger who posted at December 26, 2008 10:58 PM above -
I am the one who posted the blog at 4:33 PM above.
I am really glad to hear that there are people who are using Hoyle's material and finding it as stimulating as I found his intermediate course many years ago...
All the best with nailing the CPA!
- AJ
Thx AJ; its Rob in Tex and yes I use his questions daily mmy exam is close and his review question really got my eyes open on the vast range of material that can be pulled on BEC; so I've got about 80hrs in studying under my belt and this past week I am nailing down all the loose ends with IT and Ratios
I really like his IT questions
I guess I am the only acct junky on here sitting the first day avail in the new yr! Ha Ha my friend said I like the punishment but hey I am on a roll so I am willing to take the lashes for the glory
Rob in Tex - I am sure you're gonna kill the BEC exam.
I would also suggest making sure you have a strong handle on Cost Accounting for BEC.
Good Luck
-AJ
In response to those from WI, still waiting also for Audit. Took it Nov. 19th. Hoping Mondays mail will bring good news?!?
I took Reg in Idaho on 11-21 and have not received my score. Has anyone else in Idaho received a Reg score? What about others who have to wait for the mail?
WI folks, I took REG in mid-November and still have not received my score. Are people receiving their scores via mail yet???
To the person in Idaho waiting on their REG score. I am in Utah and took REG on 11/29. My score for REG appeared on the NASBA website on 12/25 (the 78 was a great Christmas present). But I haven't gotten the score in the mail yet. I just got my FAR score in the mail on 12/27 and got my score online on 12/23 or 12/24 (I can't remember). I hope that this gives you a better idea about your REG score.
Rob in TX, Im taking BEC on Jan 3rd in TX as well....I guess we both like the torture! This is my 4th time to take BEC!!! Hopefully the 4th time is the charm!
Thanks for the input Utah! I was hoping it just got delayed with the holiday. Congratulations on passing Reg! What a nice Christmas present!
ouch; I will put another hour in tonight on that note
good luck on 01/03
I have a question. If I need to retake a section, what is the procedure?
If I need to retake a section, what is the procedure?
Go to the NASBA website and there's a button re-register for an exam. You'll get an NTS via e-mail within a week or so (if you select that option)...then, register your exam with Prometric once you set a date.
A71...I haven't received my FAR score in TX. Is there anyway that I do not get it prior to the beginning of the next testing window?
I would expect it this week by Wednesday...sorry you've had to wait so long!
Ok, something came up where I put in my jurisdiction ID#, DOB and state, but it says there is an error, so I guess I will call tomorrow...thanks for the quick response though!
Try making your jurisdiction ID your SSN.
Hmm...no, still doesn't work. Thanks though, I'll call tomorrow. I am, curious what the availability will be like for the first week in Jan. after that, it's May for me!
I have my exam in january for BEC and FARE in February. I want to purchase the Cram from Yaeger and was wondering if you think i should wait for the 2009 one to be released or to just go with the 2008 version?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I mean how much could really be updated
Tex is released by TSBOA so don't bother with OASIS
And it is official as of today I have been waiting for 12 weeks for REG. I love this system. I am glad that I could think about taking either Reg or FAR in late January if I missed them. Oh but wait I have not received scores on either...
Frustrated Dan in WI
I hear ya Dan! I'm still waiting for AUD in WI. Do you have to contact information for the WI coordinator?
I just got FAR in TX this morning...75!
Nicely done!
Still waiting on REG in Wisconsin as well. I'm glad that I stumbled on this site since I thought I was the only one. Let me know what you guys find out from the coordinator
I got a message from the WI coordinator she said WI scores will be posted the first week in Jan. I hope she is just telling us the last possible day they could be released, with the chance of earlier.
That is what she said...
Dan
I hope this week counts as the first week of January?
75 SWEET CHICKEN DINNER CONGRATS
Dan in TX....I recommend you focus the remaining of your studies on the cost accounting areas and the IT area since they make up at least 60% of the exam...If you have that nailed down and have done a decent amount of reveiw on the other 2 areas, you will be guaranteed to pass it.... good luck on 1/02...
Is anyone willing to sell me Wiley 13.0 BEC(only) Software.
I taking the test in February. 2009 version is released in February. Waiting is cutting close, so buying 2008 used copy looks like my best option.
I have a question. I am still waiting for my REG score. On the NASBA site it says that only scores from the current testing window are available online. Does that mean that if I don't receive my score in the next 2 days I will have to wait to receive it via snailmail only?
Wiley BEC software - from the manufacturer...sale of used stuff isn't allowed because I'll get nasty messages from corporate attorneys.
https://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470135271.html
No your score will be online for atleast january
Thx for the advice I am doing alot of IT and cost and mgt activities
doing much of everything actually I've done 2 mock tests covering pieces of everything
with a 86 first on Sunday and 93 with second on Monday
although the questions are pulled from a huge question bank they are still from my review course so I figure the actual exam can easily be ten points less atleast this is what I experienced in Audit(although I passed 1st try)
So anyway I will do these big simulated 3 testlet ninety question test once a day on Tues, Wed, & Thurs before the big bang on Friday 01/02/09.
Additionally, I am hitting up some more detailed areas like to get down some of those capital budgeting techniques and process costing
Does anyone know if you can watch the Becker review on a dvd player, or on your computer only?
not sure call customer service and ask
Becker is big$$$$ so they better be flexible
As far as I know...Yaeger is the only course that allows you to view their course lectures via computer or your home DVD player...a distinct advantage for those tired of being chained to their kitchen table and computer.
I am going to purchase the Yaeger cram dvds b/c i have an exam in January and February. I figured i would get the 2008 version per the website b/c it will get delivered sooner. Anyone know if these cram dvds get updated every year or when they should be expected to be delivered if you get the 2009 one.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Rob in TX...sorry I called you Dan! Just watched Dan in Real Life the movie and I guess it was on my mind....
Jen in TX
Ha ha I know thanks for heads up Jen in TX
I just keep coming across more and more stuff that might show up on the test
the cpareviewforfree tests are wooping me I got an 85 on last one :)
Finally received Audit in Texas - 95. I am done.
- that was worth the wait!

Yaeger re-films their crams every year to make sure they're current. I saw your comment and asked them about the schedule. They are planning on filming the crams in January - starting around the weekend of the 10th. Typically, it takes 2 days (Sat/Sun) per cram course and they invite students to watch it live for a super cheap price...basically the cost of adding you to the webcast (like $25 or something like that).
Keep this in mind...after it's filmed the cram will be at it's normal price for an archived DVD, so you can save some serious $$ if your schedule is flexible. I'll let you know as soon as I hear the specific schedule so that you can plan around it.
Is BEC still all MC?
yep...BEC is still all MCQ through at least 2009.
With BEC do you think being all MCQ is good or bad?
So...any chane of NASBA being open today and sending me my NTS to re-take AUD? Are they open Friday? or am I waiting until next week? (For something with a lot of time constraints, there sure is a lot of waiting)
Happy New Years Eve, Reg scores finally posted in WI!
aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!!! My REG score is still not up in WI. I hate this. Time is ticking before busy season and a possible retake.
Why so frustrated, frustrated Dan in WI? I was upset to finally get my REG score today, even if it was a 92. I just love that thrill of being able to check for a score every morning. The rush as you hit that submit button nearly makes me wet myself. Just wish I had another exam to take so that I could feel that excitement just one more time!
Still no audit in WI for me. Looks like I'm going to end up waiting until next week. :(
I took audit last yr and still no grade sniff sniff
that is a long wait
sorry bub it will be what it is try not lose any hair over it
It was a happy new year for me, audit in WI was up this morning!!! 90!!
left last night at about 7:00 for dinner and checked right before I left: ERROR score not found. Got home at about 3:30 and thought I would check again just for the hell of it: 89!!!!
Prep for battle is complete at 01:00hrs wish me luck with BEC
I bet that Yeager will get me the 75 golden points!
Either that or countless hrs I spent studying either way tomorrow I continue the war prep for round three diving into Reg with my back against the wall and 37 days to the 3rd epic battle in this soon to be classic historical saga of good ovr evil
Good luck.
In a testing window does everyone receive the same simulations for (a section) or are they ramdomly assign to a test taker?
My NTS is late, I signed up for exam sections 10 days ago. No NTS yet!
I assume there is a back log from everyone trying to sign up.
ok my BEC exam went well I feel it was fair and that I passed; my only issue was with 2 questions I picked a answer for each and then I spent the last 4 mins looking at them and then timed out.
My question is will timing out effect my score?
My question
Ok, incase you are wondering I found this on the CPA Examination alert letter they distribute on cpa-exam org
If you did not click on ?Done? to signify completion of the last
testlet/simulation, your responses will be captured. Examination
responses are automatically saved in ?time out? situations.
With that being said I am guessing my score at 75-85%; it was a hard test and I feel my prep from cpaexcel was outstanding and the yeager cram got me focused accordingly.
Tonight I pick up back where I left off with Reg!
Good luck - let us known when you get your score.
Was there a lot of Cost Acounting question?
Rob in TX....you aren't going to give yourself at least a night's break?
My BEC is tomorrow...I hope I feel the same way you do about yours..
well its the luck of the draw....the % was in the lower part of the range then I had hoped; I actually like cost acctg....Jen in TX it is a wide area of material tested so knowing everything is impossible I had to dig deep on some and others where simple it is really the luck of the draw I wish I had more IT but I did not see the massive amount I studied for kind of a damper but I think that is why so many fail it; because the pool is so huge; mine where picked without care it truely was a random shot gun blast from the question bank......I can't wait to see my grade
One question for another 71 how long till I get my score?///joke ha ha
I think it is so cruel that the 3 on my 73 is made from an 8, I have looked at my score to long and should be studying
IT IS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY SO YOU GET A 73 AND PAY AGAIN IT IS A RIP-OFF BS WAY FOR THEM TO MAKE A LIVING
There is no transparency. How does the scale work? You could have gotten a 82 but was scaled down.
always bring a lucky charm and keep it in your pocket; leaving it in the locker is the biggest no no for getting the magic 75 rabbit out of NASBAs magical hat
Has anyone in IL received their paper scores through snail mail yet? I can't celebrate until I have the official scores in my hand!
I like how they take my money, but no NTS. I have been waiting for 2 weeks!
better call; I always get mine in like 18hrs; I think the delay is the holidays but still it should be there today
-thanks will do
Help!! Please give me some advice. Can you pass with only doing the research and communications tabs of the simulations? I took FAR on Jan 2, doing exactly that. But I'm really scared because it was the last day of my testing window! I have passed the other three sections, but stand to lose 2 of them in the next week.
research tabs are not weighted very heavy from what I've heard I am not sure
communication is important I have heard that
it will be ok if you did stong in more then one area and comparible in all others
I think if you did weaker in two sections it would have to have a realy stong section with a higher percent to pass
all in all it is passable it is a blow though because matching is always a chance of luck if you atleast answer everything; but I am sure you already know this
don't worry it will be what it will all you can do is pray for strong communication and MC scores
Has anyone taken AUD in this test window? How do it go?
Has anyone taken AUD in this test window? How do it go?
To accommodate you and people with similar questions, I started a new post for this to make it easier.
Jeff
How would I filter to only read AUD posts?

IL has beeen trying hard to get out the official score notices to candidates. We have prepared and sent ~3/4 of those received but still have a significant number to process and mail. My apologies for the delay. We hope to be at 100% staffing next week so we can take care of the rest of the score notices.

Dhval, contact the Board of Accountancy through which you want to test and they will answer your questions. Each state is different. No exams are given outside the US and jurisdictions such as Guam, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. Go to www.nasba.org and click on CPA Exam. You can then find out how to reach the state you want. This is not the right place to get answers to your questions.
Good site, admin.
