Okay, all of you veteran test takers out there, let’s put together an easy reference guide that won’t be lost in the score release thread. A71 score release thread will most likely be the first place it is announced to the cyber world that scores are released. So follow the thread closely.

Add to this as you see fit 🙂 Link back to is in the score release thread.

1. The 3 digits are the first three digits of your NTS. Scores are released one exam section at a time, by NTS until the entire section has been released. Then on to the next sections. The exam sections are released in a surprise order.

2. The BEC “bubble”. If the BEC scores are released and you didn’t receive yours, you are on the bubble. Your score is borderline, and your WC will be reviewed. It could take up to a week to get your score. Sorry, hang in there, it can still go either way.

3. KNOW IF YOUR STATE IS NASBA or not.

4. CA is not NASBA. If you are testing in CA and you see the scores are released for your exam, check the CBA site the next morning. CA scores are released ONCE PER DAY. If they aren’t up around 6 am on the west coast, they aren’t going to be up that day.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

If you're in a NASBA state, what is the score retrieval process?

Added by k917:

Go to this website: https://ncd.nasba.org/gwprdv2/servlet/hgwcs01

Enter your Section ID (NTS number) and your Date of Birth

My F5 button should be warped after all the abuse I've subjected it to.

B 85 1/17/12
A 85 11/12/12 (74 on 1st attempt)
R -- 2/25/13
F 79 8/29/12

For NASBA states scores generally come out the business day before the official release day. That is why the score release thread is blowing up the business day before the date on the official NASBA/AICPA released timeline.

It is never guaranteed that the scores will be out business day before, but historically, this is what has happened.

Also, keep in mind that scores generally come out mid-afternoon (eastern time), but can start being released at any time during the day. Yes, even 8pm.

Wave ONE and Wave TWO both had “glitches” in the release process. Where part of the scores were released the day before the Projected Date and the rest were released the next day.

https://blog.aicpa.org/2012/12/cpa-exam-2013-q1q2-score-release-timetables.html

Generally the projected date for Wave THREE is 6 business days after the close of the window. But this go 'round it listed the official Projection is March 11th, as confirmed by AICPA, which is the 7th business day.

People are estimating different days for Wave 3 Release….

6 business days out is March 8th, so some people think that could be the day.

One day before the 6th business day would be March 7th… I'm definitely going to start watching the thread for release on the 7th.

It's simple math: take the projected day and subtract 1 business day.

It's been like that for about a year now pretty consistently.

AUD - 79
BEC - 80
FAR - 76
REG - 92

Also if you're living in a NASBA state you may get your score a day early than what the official release date is. If you're not, you'll get your score on the release date or even the next business day if the release date falls on a weekend.

I wonder what holiday NASBA celebrates between March 1st and March 8th that would cause the score release to be pushed back a day. Here's the possibilities:

3/1

National Peanut Butter Lover's Day

National Pig Day

3/2

National Banana Cream Pie Day

National Old Stuff Day

3/3

If Pets Had Thumbs Day

National Anthem Day

National I Want You To Be Happy Day

3/4

Hug a GI Day

National Pound Cake Day

3/5

National Cheese Doodle Day

National Multiple Personality Day

3/6

Dentist Day

National Frozen Food Day

3/7

Alexander Graham Bell Day

National Cereal Day

3/8

National Be Nasty Day

Oh, Jeff… if only it were that simple!

But it's just not. Remember Q4 2012, Thanksgiving? The projected date was 11/26, one business day would have been the 25th. BUT, scores came out on the 5th business day. Wednesday, the 21st. That's why I still have a little hope for the 7th… 🙂

@soxfan – I posted to the AICPA blog and asked what day was not a business day… didn't get a response. But, I'm sure it's March 8th!

@Soxfan I bet they are celebrating “National be nasty day” because they don't want to release the scores that day.

FAR - 92 02/2013
AUD - 90 05/2013
REG - 85 10/2013
