March is upon us and as candidates are going postal patiently waiting for their CPA Exam results, here are some things to keep in mind:
March 8, 2010: Due to the crazy weather on the East Coast, the January/February 2010 window was extended to March 8. According to NASBA, exams taken in March will be part of the Wave 2 score release.
Keep in mind that the March 8 extension could wreak havoc on the score release process. Then again, it may not. I wouldn’t be surprised either way.
The following are predictions based on historical trends:
Monday March 15, 2010: AICPA releases BEC
Once the AICPA starts releasing CPA Exam scores, California, Illinois, Virginia will follow suit. NASBA usually releases scores within two business days after the AICPA release.
Tuesday March 16, 2010: AICPA releases REG
Tuesday evening March 16, 2010: NASBA releases BEC at approx 10pm Eastern
Wednesday evening March 17, 2010: NASBA releases REG at approx 10pm Eastern
Thursday March 18, 2010: AICPA releases AUD
Friday evening March 19, 2010: NASBA releases AUD at approx 10pm Eastern
Monday March 22, 2010: AICPA releases FAR
Tuesday evening March 23, 2010: NASBA releases FAR at approx 10pm Eastern
CPA Exam Score Release Wave 2 FAQs:
Q: I sat for my exam in early January, but didn’t get my score in Wave 1. Am I “borderline”?
A: No. It likely means that you had a brand new, never-before-tested simulation and are therefore in Wave 2 automatically, per my Interview with the AICPA.
Q: I didn’t get my score in Wave 2!!! Am I borderline?
A: Possibly. Keep in mind that the AICPA will release a section like Regulation and then release 1,000 more REG scores with Auditing.
However, once Wave 2 is complete, an additional wave of scores usually come out 2-3 days later. This is known unofficially as Wave 2.5.
Historically, people who get their scores after Wave 2 usually fall in the range of a 72 to 76. Granted, there will be some outliers here (i.e. a 90), but people who fall into this “Wave 2.5″ almost always end up reporting scores in this range.

The 2010 CPA Exam is in full swing and candidates are neck-deep in their CPA Review courses trying to fit in another exam in a shortened testing month.
Dates and news that candidates should know:
February 7, 2010: Traditionally, the 7th is the last day you can sit for a section of the CPA Exam and still be eligible for the Wave 1 score release (if you’re not included in Wave 1, you will have to wait another month until Wave 2, which begins mid-March).
According to my Interview with the AICPA, if your exam had a new simulation, you will automatically be in Wave 2.
The following are predictions based on historical trends:
February 12, 2010: AICPA is expected to start releasing BEC scores per my CPA Exam score release predictions (which historically are 50% spot-on for Wave 1). Once the AICPA starts releasing CPA Exam scores, California, Illinois, Virginia will follow suit.
NASBA usually releases scores within two business days after the AICPA release.
February 15, 2010: NASBA BEC Score Release
February 16, 2010: AICPA AUD Score Release
February 17, 2010: AICPA REG/NASBA AUD Score Releases
February 18, 2010: AICPA FAR/NASBA REG Score Releases
February 19, 2010: NASBA FAR Score Release
