At first thought, I was kinda upset they are only releasing scores in one wave…but it actually will be more beneficial for me to have my score in March b/c I am taking 2 exams this window and usually get distracted after the 1st exam waiting on my score. This way I can move on and will basically be forced to focus on my 2nd exam in Feb. 🙂 Good luck to everyone taking exams in Jan/Feb window!
With there only being one wave in March 2011, does this mean the score will be released somewhere around March 15th? Also how does this help people that are running close on expiring scores?? By the time you get your scores you will have to start studying the next day to get enough studying time in before the next window starts. I know they are doing this only for a matter of time, but I believe they should at least be a little more lenient towards test takers for the first few quarters. It is only fair.
all the score release waves always just made me annoyed because i always felt like i was on that website checking. If you take it 1/5/11 and find out you failed, it's not like you can try to take by the end of februrary anyway. If they let us know mid march, we still have plenty of time to start studying and take again in april.
Maybe they'll even get real fancy and email us scores or email when scores are up. I already feel better about 2011.
Is anyone else anxious though about the whole “changing a passing score” thing?
I'll be honest, if they made it a 70, I would have 3 sections passed already, and have spent at least $1,000 extra than necessary. I'd be pretty annoyed as i'd be practically done this process by now.
Also, did anyone else read through the 2010 score release statistics? I'm so confused how i've gotten 73s and 74s on audit and far…yet the pass rates were a disaster. You mean you couldn't round up a few more people..just a few? I've gotten in the 50's and 60's and I know they were deserved–I didn't know the material. But a 73 on AUD when you only passed 44% of people? C'mon…
Jeff, Do you happen to know if all the “OLD NASBA States” (Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Puerto Rico, Vermont) will be updated to the new online scoring page before the March score release? That would be nice, since we could receive our scores earlier.
So let me get this straight… If you're taking a section in January or February, you'll possibly be going into the test blind as to what the passing score will be? How can you go in and take a test without knowing what the passing score is? That makes no sense.
I see the quote. It can be interpreted differently I think. They're obviously stating that they're going to be establishing the new passing score at the end of the first testing window, but they don't say whether it applies to the first quarter or becomes effective in the second quarter. Maybe I'm missing something here.
jrsmith416: I don't think you're missing anything. I read through all the stuff like 8 times and I am freaking out a little bit. Surely they can't wait until they've finished scoring the first window to set the passing score. That would be inhumane… oh wait, they don't care. =( I also would like some kind of positive confirmation that 75 is the number to get in the first window!!!
