To my fellow californians:

When does the CBA usually update the website with scores?
Is it always overnight (at 5:30am-ish) or could it be the same day, when the scores are received in the middle of the day?

FAR - 7/26/10 - 95
AUD - 8/10/10 - 88
BEC - 8/31/10 - 88
REG - 10/15/10 - 95

As far as I know I always checked late at night at like 2am but then woke up to the scores being there at like 7 or 8am. That's been my experience twice.

Fellow angelinos of what I have been told by those who have been through this experience its about 6.00 am in morning, pretty close to what potatogun said.

@financeguy:

lol, I might just stay up and study the whole night (got a brand new italian espresso machine right here, you know what I'm talking about).
On Saturday morning (waiting for AUD scores, and not even sure if my score would be there as I was borderline between wave1 and 2) I woke up at 5:30 even without alarm, checked my blackberry and the score wasn't there.
It came out at 5:37 but I got to see it at 7:30ish when I woke up.

Seriously though, after 8/31 all the LA area members should meet up and hang out at some bar. Who's in?

I couldn't even hardly do any studying tonight...no way I could stay up all night studying. I also have to be at work at 7:30...tomorrow is either going to be a really great day or a downright horrible day.

I'm in sac, not LA, otherwise I would definitely be down for some Johnny Walker black on the rocks...that is a great choice...so smooth.

2 out of 3 of my score releases, I got extremely drunk the night before, and woke up to a score. Passed one, failed one. Last score I was sober the night before and had a nightmare about it...I woke up right away and check and had a huge sense of relief.

whonis2002, it probably is 5:30 or 6am. I just never got up that early to check so I am basing it off of my 7 or 8am time, hah.

Edit: and regarding the time it is probably a cron job set to update then.

Well, unfortunately I had to switch from REG to BEC (thank God I did that, no way I could study for REG during two score releases) and the only available place was in San Diego, so I have my test there at 4:30pm so by the time I'm back it's gonna be late. Plus 9/1 is my birthday.
Then it's labor's day weekend (I also have guests from NY). But what about the following weekend? My wife will be visiting her family in NYC and that weekend has Vegas written all over! :)

I don't know why I'm checking this thread, I'm not even in CA! I'd like to be tho :-) VA didn't even put AUD scores up, not to mention that system didn't work for BEC at all.

Being in wave 2 sucks.
Being in wave 2 in California sucks even more because if I find out I failed, they will take 2 months to approve another NTS and I could miss the last 2010 window.

@italianCPA
think positive, you'll pass. maybe you aren't in wave 2, maybe it's batch 2 of wave 1.

Are second batches of wave 1 (wave 1.5) usually borderline scores or just late scores?

Also, I don't get it. The exam will change in a few months with a totally new format. wtf are they testing new simulations?

Just called the CBA.
They said it's a completely automated process and all scores that they received are up in the personal accounts.
He said that usually 10% of people who took their tests in July will receive their scores in Wave2.
Sounds weird that so many of us are in wave2. My guess is that more FAR scores will be released.

I don't know. My simulation didn't have any IFRS so I don't know what the hell. It looked like regular simulations. It'd be nice to know at least 1 score, i have no motivation for BEC. Getting all 3 at the same time is just so frustrating...

No motivation for BEC either. I just started the IT section yesterday, still have to do the cost accounting part, which is the most difficult, and my exam is in exactly one week.

LOL, i just finished B2. I don't know how i'll do it but window ends and can't reschedule. i'll give it a shot. I was hoping for good news w FAR today. I didn't do so strongly on AUD so I don't know what to think now. One of my FAR sims was hard but I knew how to do almost all the MCs. So I don't see what could be the problem...

i feel the pain italiancpa. i took it 3 days after you and didn't get anything yet! that makes me so nervous especially because if i have to retest, i know the application process will take a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time. hopefully, the release another batch. thanks for calling the CBA i was about to do that myself. i guess we just have to wait.

My sims were ok, the tabs were fine, the first WC and research tab were straight forward.
The second sim tabs were fine (only one tab was Govt but just simple JEs), only the WC was absurd and the research tab impossible,
But there's no way for us to know.
