When does the AICPA actually receive your scores?

    Hi all,

    I was planning on taking REG on Oct. 20 @6:30 p.m. I was wondering, since it is a computerized exam and all, are the scores sent to the AICPA immediately upon completion? Or are they stored for some time, and once all exams are done for the day are they sent in batches? I was just wondering because the score release from the website states “And the AICPA receives your examination data files from prometric by midnight on.” I know my exam is allotted until 10 p.m., so I was just wondering how this works?

    I know it’s not the best strategy to schedule exams based on the release schedule, but it’s a tentative date and I’m prepared to reschedule to a later date in the window if I am not feeling prepared. But it’s always nice to get the score back sooner rather than later, right?

    Thanks again!

    FAR - 68, 82
    AUD - 78
    REG - 57, 67, 11/24/14
    BEC - 81

    I've never seen anything explaining exactly how that works. Most people who test on the last day of the wave seem to get their scores on the correct release date, but occasionally people report having to wait until the next release. So if you keep that test date, be prepared for the possibility (although it's anecdotally pretty remote) that you might have to wait if there's a delay in transmission for whatever reason.

    AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
    FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
    REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
    BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)
