    Hey I know this is gonna sound like a self centered question but I’ll ask it anyways

    I have no relevant experience in accounting and I’m looking for a job in public accounting, I understand that your suppose to put that you put what sections you passed as a highlight of your resume, but should you include your score too if your proud of it (92)? I know this isn’t a great question to ask but I need an opinion

    I wouldn't put anything till passed all. Maybe put that info in the cover letter. That's just my thoughts.

    I read through hundreds of resumes of applicants and I would laugh at you if you put your score down.

    People can only dream about getting a 92? lol. There are tons of people on this site with scores better than 92. Its ridiculous to put your score for one section on a resume. Maybe, maybe mention the score in the interview, but do not put it on the resume. TEmployers dont care what your score is. They only care if you have passed or not.

    Initially I was told to put the exam to show that I'm moving towards it, passing it I think is a big chip with my resume lacking experience and the score I feel just sets me apart, I think it's like putting a GPA on a resume, same concept, I mean what sets you apart from anyone else when your trying to get your foot in the door.

    Your score doesnt really set you apart though. Come back with a 99 and I'll be impressed.
