I'm waiting in TX for my fourth and hopefully final score (AUD). Waiting is definitely the worst part of this process. Come on AICPA!
Jeff - Thanks for keeping us posted with the scoring process. Maybe you can go kick some AICPA butt? I'm ready for my celebratory beer(s)!

"Ha! I'll be honest, I'm drinking some Anchor Christmas Ale while I wait. Why let good beer drinking hours pass by waiting for a reason to celebrate? I have a reason, it's Monday!"
I had one of those on Friday. Hell, I never let good beer drinking weekends pass by even while I was studying for the exam. hehe

I'm in IL anxiously awaiting REG. I've been stalking the BEC forums to know when the score release begins. This is awful. I can't another week. I was *supposed* to be in Wave 1. Ugh.

Saludos Lauren...
I'm so glad to find a Boricua here... I think we are one the same boat, waiting for BEC result, I take Bec on november 28. It was terrible, harder than the first one, when I got 73. I think this one was the most difficult part of all.
Hopefully we will meet at the " Juramentacion"

KatieLouWho - I thought I was going to be in Wave 1 too...This waiting is killing me!
What really sucks is I had to retake BEC which I passed...so people are like, didn't pass that already? What did you take it again? Then I have to relive failing AUD. SADNESS
Come on AICPA - I have a six pack of Dos Equis waiting for me to celebrate! :)
Good Luck everyone!

CasiCPA... yeah I'm so exited to be over this, BEC was hard for me but I actually found the exam harder than the final tests I practiced with the beckers material. I think I just got lucky, otherwise I did real bad! can't stand the wait but I hope your right and we'll see each other in the "juramentation". EXITO!

I am in IL and I have taken audit 3 times (previous to this attempt). I changed a lot of what I was doing to prepare for this to be a successful attempt, and the waiting is horrible!
I found this website awhile ago and think it is great! I have never posted before, but I have read a lot of comments. It is great to have a place that everyone can vent / share. Anyone other than someone sitting for this exam does not seem to get how much goes into this between preparing and the time you give up to do it.
Come on AICPA - I really need to pass this!!!

wasvsdal... I thought that the AICPA releases the scores first, then it goes on to NASBA?... so, if NASBA was to get scores on Dec 16th, I thought AICPA would have released them on Dec 14th? Whatever the set-up... it is very frustrating to have to wait so long for a MC-choice type of exam like BEC. I am also in the process of taking the CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) and after you take a part (there are 4 parts @ 100 Q's) you are given a "tentative" score when you walk out, and then they send an official score a few weeks later... but, at least you have a pretty good idea of how you did. I sure wish the CPA exam would consider this at some point! In any event... good luck to all waiting for scores... hopefully sometime this week!

richardcpa... I would say that the CIA materials, to me, are easier. Since we have studied for the CPA exam there is a LOT of overlapping material. There are 4 parts to the exam, but, if you pass the CPA you only have to take 3 parts (which is great!)... I use the Gleim materials, and for the CPA Exam there are 20 modules/study book... for the CIA Exam there are 10 modules/study book. I've only taken one part of the exam so far (and passed!)... I would say I put in ~10 hours/week (would have maybe put in 15 if I didn't have to put in time for BEC!) of study time. I felt that the exam was way less stressful, predominantly because it was MC only.
Stuck waiting on Texas AUD score (my first section). The fun, the joy, the cpa exam!
I'm debating on not checking tomorrow morning. I am listening to the 5th REG Becker lecture tomorrow morning and I don't see me getting much done on that if I failed. It would be best to wait to check until after the lecture but I doubt I can sit at the computer for 4 hours and not check it.
Well, the score didn't come out Saturday or Sunday. I did my normal study work on those two days. I'm still on track to complete the REG Becker lectures (have the 2009 stuff) before I start the real REG class in January using the 2010 materials. This means the actual class will be my second time through it.
On the bright side, the scores did finally release Monday morning and I got a 94 on AUD!

So, FAR is expected to be released by the AICPA this afternoon per Jeff. Does anyone know if Castle Worldwide has been able to pull out a same day release? And at what point I should accept the fact that since they're on the east coast it's probably to late and I will have yet another sleepless night...

I'm so over waiting on my score. I took FAR on Nov. 9, 2 days after Wave 2 started. Why do I have to wait this long? I took Audit Nov. 24th and found out my score on Friday, almost 3 weeks to the day. I get the grading process & expect there to be some delay, but my gosh, almost 2 months is ridiculous. If I failed FAR, I'm going to end up losing a window to be able to test in if I don't find out in time to schedule the exam before I'm swamped at work during busy season. I can't help but think that these late score releases help make NASBA money by shortening the ACTUAL time a person can pass the exam in 18 months. And I'm over all of their excuses as to why we are having to wait. If they are trying to make the process more efficient for the future & that's why this is taking FOREVER, make sure you aren't screwing the people over in the process who want to pass before the "efficient" process is actually implemented.
