I was 4/4 in Wave 1 of the January/February window and 0/4 for Wave 2. We’ll forget Wave 2 ever happened (and assume that the AICPA won’t delay BEC or release FAR second again) and march boldly forward with these predictions.
Joanne Vician (who graciously sent me score release info ahead of it being public) at the Illinois Board of Examiners retired after the Jan/Feb 2009 window, but left the readers of this site in good hands with a contact of hers…more to come on that later.
Here we go…
Here are the predictions for the April/May 2009 Wave 1 (NASBA) score release…
- May 18 – BEC
- May 20 – AUD
- May 21 – REG
- May 22 – FAR
- May 15 – BEC
- May 18 – AUD
- May 19 – REG
- May 20 – FAR
- May 17 – BEC
- May 15 – BEC actual NASBA release
Which means that IL, CA, VA, etc will get their scores…
Like I said, Joanne left the candidates who read this site in good hands…as I get info on score releases, I will pass them along as I can…most likely via Twitter, as I can update it via my phone.
Update 5/11/2009 – NASBA Updates Score Release Process…
Revised NASBA release prediction:
- May 19 – AUD
- May 19 – AUD actual NASBA release
- May 20 – REG
- May 25 – REG actual NASBA release
- May 21 – FAR
- May 21 – FAR actual NASBA release
update 5/26/09 – (Two out of four ain’t bad…)
update: AICPA released BEC earlier than expected…here’s some bold prediction updates (reckless and not for the faint of heart…)
- May 14 – BEC
- May 15 – AUD
- May 18 – REG
- May 19 – FAR


So i just recieved my scores for BEC, and REG. I failed both and i'm extremely dissapointed. I got a 67 on BEC and a 72 on Reg. I took a becker Cpa review course and felt like i really put in the time an effort.
I really dont' know what to do….. I”m an “A” student master's in hand with honors……
I feel so much like a dissapointment.
Hang in there…it's frustrating I know. Many people are in your shoes at this very moment.

If you are being completely honest with yourself and believe you put in the required time then you need new review material. However, I have a feeling you are not being completely honest with yourself.
I'm a “B” student, I consider myself an extremely below average standardized test taker, I have no masters and I have no work experience. All I have used is the Becker CPA review materials but I study my butt off. I passed audit with a high score and I'm taking BEC next week which I feel even more prepared than when I took audit. Granted I only have these two tests to show for but all I'm saying is that you need to give a 100% while you're studying and you should pass.

The 2010 CPA Exam is in full swing and candidates are neck-deep in their CPA Review courses trying to fit in another exam in a shortened testing month.
Dates and news that candidates should know:
February 7, 2010: Traditionally, the 7th is the last day you can sit for a section of the CPA Exam and still [...]
The Wave 1 CPA Exam score release is always my favorite because I average 50% accuracy on naming the exact date NASBA will release CPA Exam scores.
On the other hand, I am terrible at Wave 2 CPA Exam score release predictions – mostly because the AICPA can be very unpredictable in Wave 2.
It’s early January, [...]
Ten random stupid things said to candidates while studying for the CPA Exam:
I found out that I had failed FAR by 1 point and BEC by 2 (double ugh!). My boss offered to let me go back down to part time for the next two months while I study and retake the exams.
A coworker [...]

My interview with the AICPA titled “CPA Exam Myths Debunked” is featured in the September 2009 issue of “The Asset” magazine, which is published by the Missouri Society of CPAs.
The staff at The Asset did a great job incorporating the article into the publication.
Read a PDF version of The Asset.
Failing the CPA Exam is normal, but frustrating.
No curve. No re-score. No real-time scoring.
The security measures make the CIA blush.
Time to think up a new excuse for missing family reunions.
There were two people who asked about this in the REG discussion for this month, and I found it worthy of a post. Time management on the CPA Exam is critical for REG and FAR. AUD and BEC? – not as much.
REG is probably the worst exam in terms of time management. They only give [...]
I knew coming out of the exam that I had passed, but I didn’t expect this. I’m paranoid so I’m whiting out my info until I have my certificate in hand.
Thank you GOD.
Thank you Dr. Yaeger and everyone at Yaeger CPA Review!
Update: I got my paper confirmation on September 22 – a timely six days [...]
