I've mustered up the courage to check… still nothing in IL for FAR 535.

Sorry Sam, but you'll kick a** next time. I have a Becker FAR book, brand new not even marked up if you want it.

[How many letters do you need]

Sam that really sucks. I know being your last exam must make it that much worse. Good news is that you have two more shots but you will only need one. Love the NINJA BEC book, I think FAR is coming soon and Jeff is throwing out a pretty good deal. Hang in there and don't let it spoil your weekend. Get out there and blow off some steam!

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

@rmsaemie it took me maybe 10 hours in total.

For Illinois you need to use the AICPA’s Professional Ethics: The AICPA’s Comprehensive Course. I purchased the book which has its exam questions at the end of the book. I copied the questions to make it easier to take in one sitting. You then can go online to AICPA’s CPE Grading to enter your exam question answers. While you are answering the evaluation questions the system grades the exam and you have real time results. You must have 90% or greater to pass (can only miss 4 questions). Make sure you tell AICPA to send your score to Illinois. You can print your certificate of completion right away.

In terms of material, it is a lot of what you study to take AUD and REG. Stuff like the AICPA’s independence rules and IRS Circular No. 230. So I found that I knew most of the material already. At first I found 5 questions I was not confident on. I went back and re-read those sections which helped me firm up my answers to 3 questions. I then felt confident that if I missed two questions, I would still pass.

AUD - 76!
REG - 66, 78!
BEC - 69, 69, 75!
FAR - 70, 73, 79!
Ethics Test - 98!

@Racergirl thank you so much for the info!

Just checked IL (for the millionth time today) and still nothing! I can only assume the ILBOA admin in charge of posting our scores was at the Hawks game last night and is struggling to get to his computer.

Positive thoughts, all!

B - 80 (Apr '14)
A - 83 (Jan '14)

I'm guessing IL is gonna be Monday the 5th. Typical of IL, the state is so lazy and useless!

[Racergirl]

Last time IL did not post on Saturday they did post scores on Sunday. That was when the office was down in Champaign not Naperville.

I couldn't have said it better. IL just has to be the slowest at almost everything it does!

“It's okay, really, I can just wait for my score until Monday,” said no CPA candidate ever.

Anyone know if IL scores have ever been released at night? Chances are I'll still be checking periodically, but I'm losing fate.

(Sorry in advance for those of you hoping this post was to tell you that scores are up!)

@SamDiego I had weaker in Not for Profit and Comparable with Specific transactions and stronger in everything else, still bombed it though. Gonna rewatch video lectures or something, scheduling some time in July as well.

Surprisingly, I wasn't depressed about failing. Sure I was a bit bummed out, but I think it would've been worse if I felt like I had passed then failed, than knowing I failed and in the end I failed.

REG = 58 (02-20-13), 75 (05-01-13)
AUD = 67 (05-29-13), 79 (08-29-13)
BEC = 83 (07-31-13)
FAR = 72 (10-29-13), 69 (02-27-14), 73 (04-16-14), 81(08-13-14)

Study Materials = Becker 2013 + Wiley Online Test Bank

It's 12:30 am, technically Sunday, and no score. So I guess it'll definitely be Monday.
