Is it possible to pass FAR if you finish almost nothing in one of the sims. I ran out of time today!
Jeff,
What exactly do you mean by “as well as those with new sims”??? I have not heard anything about this…what is this referencing?? Or anyone? I'm panicing now b/c I take mine after the 7th and wasn't prepared for new sims
It's referencing my AICPA interview…there aren't any new sim formats, just new sim problems…they do this every window….it doesn't affect your exam prep in the slightest.
-jeff
Well, I received my exam score yesterday (taken 5/29) and I failed once again. This is one is really hard to deal with because I felt very prepared going in and I didn?t even really come close to passing (65). I?ve taken this same section (BEC) 5 windows in a row and haven?t even broke the 70?s yet. I have passed the other three and I have one more chance in August before my sections start expiring again. I don?t even want to think what that will feel like if that happens?.I want to get this over now. Last time I took it in May I did the Yaeger BEC Home Study and BEC Cram. Is there anyone else struggling as much as me? Any suggestions, advice, study tips?
Phil,
If you're a Yaeger student – call Phil Yaeger…he'll put you in touch with
Cindy Simpson…she'll help you.
Calling Yaeger and talking to Cindy is step #1 I'd say.
-Jeff
So, I took REG on Thursday (my last part), and my score still isn't up! They've had the entire weekend to grade it. What gives?
This is going to be a long 6 weeks waiting for that score to come in. Oh well, at least I finally get to spend some time with my 5 month old daughter instead of studying, and who knows, maybe I'll even have some free time to work out and lose some of this CPA study weight I've put on!
Does anyone know anything about my first post? Just curious.
Here are my 2 cents take it if you like:
#1: You are not made for this exam (BEC at least to say). You will have hard time no matter which course you choose. So stop asking which course to choose. And forget about calling Yeager- it's not worth it. No one can help you but……… Only you can help yourself, no one else. Not Dr. Phil not Another71 or me. This is what you should do if you really want to try:
1. Identify your weakness: most likely cost accounting. When you use exam prep material it is fast paced and you might not be able to grasp it. See whick topic is hard for you and learn it from college textbook.
2. Then practice MQ's: a lot of them, over and over. Don't waste time on this website until the result time.
3. I used Becker. I found it very helpful, practice Q's were must. I think even Becker does not address Cost accounting in detail, that is why you might need text. however do not study any topic not in Becker.
4. Divide Becker course in two: Ch-1,2,4 and Ch-3,5. Review them over and over.
…This exam is a rigorous beast, thanks though.
Yeah I heard on discovery channel study/stress takes a good 10 or 15 yrs off ones life.
Phil,
I feel your pain. I'm struggling with AUD and FAR in the same way.
I had the same problem John. I totally messed up the 2nd sim and if it wasn't for that I'm pretty confident that I would have passed.
Try Becker's BEC Self study program. It is expense, but I thought it was good.
I just had the same thing happen to me today (well, yesterday, technically).
The sims that the AICPA had released for 2005-2007 were cupcakes by comparison to what I saw today. Kind of disheartening. The only thing I didn't complete was a memo (ouch). The other memo I think I almost did too well. I mean, I would have been better off just doing an average job on it and moving on.
Do you think I have a chance of passing? I mean, I put something down, often something reasonable, for everything except for 1 memo (bad time management, I know).
I think I did awesome on the multiple choice, though. I got done with that fairly efficiently and can probably count on one hand questions that I really might have missed. Will that be enough to save me?
I studied so hard for this, and I would rather spend time with my baby daughter than power through another Becker review for FARE. I think I'm just going nuts waiting for my score.
AHHHH!!!! I just needed 5 more minutes!
Will that one missed memo break me?!!! Anyone out there have a similar experience and pass?
One of the guys at work ran out of time before doing the memo and research section of one of his parts (I think it was Reg) and still passed with a low 80's. I think the key for you with whether you lose points for it or not will be if that memo is the one that is graded. From reading here it seems one memo is a pre-test and they only read one. So if they read the one you completed, you'll get some (or all) points. If they “read” the one you ran out of time for, obviously you won't get those points.
Thanks for the reply. Good to hear about someone passing in my same situation. I actually answered the research question. I didn't have much time for it, but I may have gotten it right in the time I had.
I didn't know about one memo not being graded. Are you positive they might not give credit for one? I guess I'll find out.
I guess the goal is to pass and not get a 90+. So, I'll be happy with just a 75. I'm just hoping my multiple choice was good enough to carry the day.
I'm not 100% positive, because I'm just a candidate like yourself. Though I feel Jeff would only post things that come from a reasonable source so I would guess that it is true… http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-simulations.html I tell ya though, on the recent Reg exam I took I had just enough time to do the 2nd written part at the end, but I sure hope they read my 1st one because I know that one was 100% right! I guess in my case if the one memo thing is true if I get a weaker written communication I'll know for sure which one they did read!
I hope things work out for ya!
Hey man, you're right. The CPA exam scores are not raw percentages. Rather they are percentiles, like the normal curve. So if you score a 75, you did better than 74.9% of the population who's taken the exam. Rough cut answer, but pretty much how it is, hope that helps. For further explanation check out the AICPA website for the exam. They give a really detailed outline of how they do things, as vague as it is.
that makes no sense at all… if you scored a 75 and did better than 74.9% of the other candidates, that would mean that only 25% of the population would pass
We're looking at historical averages. Are you familiar with the normal distribution? I never claimed to know exactly how the examiners are computing the score, but to say it makes no sense at all is wrong. All I'm getting at is that the score to pass (75) is not a raw percentage. Rather it is based on a percentile basis similiar to other standardized testing metrics. Either way, it's a scaled score. No expert here. How is it scored, apparently you have the answer?
REVIEWING THE CBT ANALYSIS IS THE BEST WAY TO REVIEW YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
ALSO READ IT AND IT WILL EXPLAIN SOME OF YOUR DEBATE
No need to yell.
what do you mean by the new sims in Reg. Im taking mine this week.
UNLESS NOTE THE STARS ……………READ; nobody knows when new ones will pop up or when ………….well the ppl who make the test might have a clue.
Don't worry about that focus on cram you are on your final count down.
I had same problem while taking REG last session. I run out of time as well as had no glue about my last sim. I ended up with 95. No idea how. So keep hoping.
I took 2 sections in July. If I passed both parts…when would I get my congratulations letter? I'm pretty sure I only passed 1 of the 2 but I'm curious now.
Aaron,
If those were your last 2 parts and you are successful, and your state does not handle the Congratulations letters themselves, CPA Examination Services promises that your Congratulations letter will be mailed by the middle of the second month of the following quarter. For July/August, that would be November 15th.
However, many people report receiving their letters 4 to 6 weeks earlier than the date given by CPA Examination Services. Mine was like that.
Good luck.
thanks for the info Nan. Congrats!
Can you tell me how I know if I got those new sim. on my exam or not? Thank you!!
You can't really tell until the scores come out. If yours doesn't come out then you got a new sim. Or if it was FAR, if you had the new consolidations that would be an indicator.
Thank you for your answer, SwissBlissSC!
I took FAR on Aug. 1 and am now anxiously waiting for my result.. I really hope that I'll receive one this month!! Thanks again.
Jeff,
You think I should purchase Yaeger even though I currently have becker??? I've been bringing my computer on the bus and listening to the lectures and working the mc??? I'm worried that if I get Yaeger I'll have too much material to study… what do you think?
The audios are a compliment to your current course. I think that getting Phil's perspective on your exam material would be very beneficial…you can load them on your mp3 player and study wherever you are. I used to study at my desk at work by listening to the commentary while I rocked spreadsheets.
Use Becker instead. I used it and haven't gotten my score but would guess I'm in the 95 area….it seemed WAY too easy after prepping with Becker….
hey CA folks…I took my Reg exam on 5/29 and my official score has not been posted on the website yet…just the advisory score. Is anyone else in the same situation? I am dying to see my score report!
I am in exactly the same boat as you right now. I am scheduled to take FAR Aug 30, and my window for testing expires in Sept. i have covered ch's 8&9 (I did worst on those when I got my 69 in April), and half of chapter 2. I have no idea if I can learn it well enough in time, but it costs the same whether I fail and reschedule, or chicken out and reschedule. So I say study your heart out, and give it your best shot.
No one has said that it gets harder your second time, so it sounds like you don't have any more to lose by keeping your appointment.
Does anyone know which state doesn't require one year experience for CPA licence. I am in CA and have passed all sections, but I couldn't find a job in a CPA firm. I am thinking to move to a state where one year experience is not required for CPA licence. Thanks
You do not need to work for a CPA firm, just under a CPA. I am a Sr Accountant and my Controller is a CPA so that qualifies. I believe all states have the experience requirement.
Has anybody ever studied for FAR for only about a week and still passed?? I'm not working right now, so I can devote all my time to studying. I studied about 5 days each for both BEC and Aud and passed both with an 89 and 92 respectively, but I just feel like FAR is in a whole different ball park. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should focus my time on seeing as I'm so pressed for time? Thanks!!
Name:
I think it depends on how well you understand the material. You are correct that FAR is in a whole different ballpark because there is so much to study. I would focus on the material you struggled (if you did struggle) with in class (i.e. advanced- consolidations). I never took a government or n-f-p class so I focused on that. I would recommend leases, pensions, and consolidations. It's really a matter of how comfortable you are with the material. Browse over the general rules and exceptions to the rules. With your prior scores I don't see you having a problem. Good Luck!
Jeff- Are you selling your notes for FAR yet (with the updated material)?
Not yet…give me another month
SC just changed their rules a year ago July to only require one year of work experience. Although, I just re-read your note, and I'm not sure any state doesn't require experience….you may be able to find a state that will let you have your masters instead, but I'm not familiar with any. Good luck
Some states wave the work experience requirement if you have completed certain education requirements. http://www.nasbatools.com
Sounds like your boat might be a little farther ahead than mine!! I am just now finishing chapter 2 and am taking the exam on the 31st. It's hard because I just started a brand new job a month ago and have been focusing all my time there; when I get home I have no motivation to study. I have just about 3 weeks left now so it's time to kick it in to serious high gear. I've also never taking FAR yet so I don't know what is going to be my weak part… good luck to you!!! Keep me updated!
You can do it!!
Currently the only state that does not require a one year experience for the original license is “COLORADO”. You, however, will need to have 150 credit hours in total. Of that 150 hours, you need to have 6 hours in Auditing. You can visit the CO state board of accountancy for more information (Look for the educational rule 2.5 – Education in lieu of experience). The fee for persons who have passed 4 sections in other states but would like to be licensed in CO is $165.
Also… wishing everyone here Good Luck! I am waiting for my results too.
Here's a silly question. When ever I fail a test about two weeks prior to getting my results I get mailers for a bunch of study materials. I don't think this happened with sections I passed.
1. Have you ever received these mailers and then passed (it's my last one. please give my confidence a boost)?
2. How do they get my info and know that I am studying for the CPA?
I've never been mailed anything about materials…that's weird.
When I first read your reply my heart sank because I'm hoping for a passing Reg score next weekend and I had just checked my PO Box this afternoon and had CPA review ads in it! Thankfully I remembered though my license stuff is still going to my parents house. The only CPA related stuff signed up to the PO is an AICPA and CalCPA memberships that are “candidate memberships.” Any chance you belong to the AICPA or a state run one as a “candidate”? If so, those are your likely sources of the ads.. in short don't let the paranoia eat you up!
[...] to Jeff over at Another71.com, score reports are predicted to be released fairly soon for Wave 1, which, for me, means I’ll probably see my BEC score [...]
I had a buddy run out of time at the beginning of his 2nd sim and he got a 76! There is hope!!!
The CPA exam scoring is confusing. As I seem to recal each question is worth a different amount of points. So it really is a percentage of points correct over total points, but we just don't know what questions are worth what amount of points.
In short, questions are not worth 1 point each. HTH.
Anyone received FAR via NASBA?
Nope.
The wait is nearly killing me!
Anyone in LA received their FAR scores?
Anybody received FAR score in NY???
nope, not yet
Has anyone received their FAR scores from MO (Missouri)
I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but I called TSBPA about the FAR scores this morning and they said they hadn't heard anything and that it would probably be next week. My fingers are still crossed for tomorrow morning, though!
Has anyone received FAR in CT?
I love when people ask “Has any one received”…. look above, no one has received. When you see someone say “i got my scores!!!” then ask specifics…….. I'm probably just mad my score isn't posted
did you by chance intern with EY
What about Audit!??
What about Audit!??
Has NASBA ever posted this late? Should we all assume we'll be waiting until tomorrow. This wait is dreadful. I am losing hope and taking Reg on Tuesday. I think I wasted an entire evening hitting refresh on the NASBA sight.

Give me Audit or give me death!!!!
It looks like we're back…I have a solution to fix the load problem…it will be implemented before Wave 2…major site improvement coming…
Sorry it went down!
Jeff
Tell me about this wait… I am taking REG on the 31st and wants to have some good news going in.
Jeff – Could you please update the red banner at the top of the site for FAR status?
any get far from jersey yet?
Jeff,
It seems like FAR scores have not been posted, I dont see any comments about people getting their FAR grades….am I right?? Is there still some hope that FAR has not been posted??
So Jeff what happend with the FAR scores being released tonight? Is there still hope it will be released tonight or do we have to wait till tomorrow day or night? Thanks for this blog its great
I haven't gotten mine yet… (NJ FAR) still waiting….
I was told that barring any server mishaps that they would be out tonight…apparently there was a server mishap…and it was contagious.
I am switching over to a commercial server…a big boy server…could be expensive, but at least the site won't go down…when it needs power – it gets it from other sources…(feel free to donate)
Its 12:30am in NJ and I am TRYING to get some BEC studying in tonight… but between checking for my FAR score, facebook, twitter, and my minor meltdown because this site crashed, I am compeltely incapable of focusing on NPVs tonight! I have officially screwed myself. I'm on chapter 3 (Becker) and my exam is a week from Monday. Oh boy…
thats not a bad idea…you can set that up through Paypal…I've seen it in other sites.
I owe you my life.
i'm like that with audit. death
to the right of the blog… the donate button.
I felt really discouraged after finding out failed Reg, even though the outcome was somehow expected. Now I need to reschedule my FAR exam from 8/31 to early October due to lack of confidence.
Please Release Audit, I need some motivation for my FAR Study.
I put in 5 weeks and it was barely enough time. I would give it 6 weeks. In my opinion FAR was the hardest one to take and to study for.
If you put in some solid study time you will be okay
I had two weeks for BEC and made it with a 77, stay confident and good luck.
It depends, I used a combination of Becker and Gleim…Becker for reading and Gleim for MC (which really really really really helped). If you know the material and it is a review for you, then it will take you less time. If it is new to you (such as 141R) you may need some more study time. Everyone learns differently and puts in a different amount of hours each day for studying. Give yourself at least a month and set aside the last week for review, that is my recommendation. Good luck.
5 weeks full time study? yeah, it's heck alot of materials, especially I find time spent on each practice M/C question much longer than reviewing Audit, BEC, REG b/c it takes more time to read, think and calculate each question..I am curious whether the FAR exam comprised of 80%-100% calculation, or 50/50 like BEC exam?
Yeah, I haven't gotten my score yet, but I had given myself 6 weeks and I felt like I could have used some more time… theres just so much information. I used Becker and I would definitely recommend that you just continue to do MCs over and over again… (but don't do them to just do them and memorize them… do them to understand and think through them). It was helpful to do the simulated exams and monitor my progress… make sure to gauge your time too… I ran out of time during my exam and I wish I had practiced more with the 4 hour clock going….
Good luck!!!
with all the money these clowns are taking in, i am sure they would have servers made out of gold..
do you think we should still wait, or maybe get some rest… does anybody know whether they released he scores this late in the past?
no….get some sleeps! nothin' happening this late…
thanks Jeff… but it is easier to say… i can't sleep
FAR is already out, I got my score this morning (about 2:30am Pacific time)
I got my FAR this morning…about 2:30 am Pacific time
wow lucky… I'm still waiting i took it July 16th i should be in the first batch right?
Anyone else? I think when you posted this message, it wasn't 2.30am pacific yet.
Can someone let me know when they receive there FAR score in TX. I checked this morning but mines wasn't there. Trying to determine if I am in Wave 2.
I am in TX too….woke up to look…NOTHING. At the top of the page, since it says no FAR released, if NASBA didn't release last night, maybe TX won't release until Monday???? Anyone else????
Still no FAR in NY. Has anyone else in NY gotten their FAR score? I'm hoping it just hasn't been released in NY yet.
Any NASBA state candidates received their FAR score last night or this morning?
I agree with NJCPAhopeful. I passed FAR this window (in VA) and used Becker. I spent a lot of time with the multiple choice. I also made my own flash cards (rather than the pre-printed ones), which is always helpful to me (but may not be for others). Also, practice with the simulated exam at least once so you get a feel of the time budgeting you will need to do on exam day. Don't be discouraged by the score you get on the simulated exams though. It just gives you a percentage of the problems you got right and does not grade your communications. This does not correlate to the way the actual exam is graded.
Good Luck!!!
Nothing here in MI
nope, no FAR in NY yet…
Well I guess that makes me feel a little bit hopeful!
35 days
i got the FAR result 91, waiting for AUD
Hey guys tx far is out. I got an 85 and felt sick after taking it. That was my last one and now I'm done. In the words of journey don't stop believing. Keep studying hard and you will get through it all. Good luck ya'll can do it. Jeff thanks for the great site, what you do helps more than you know.
Thank you for the update, I'm in TX as well but didn't receive my score. I guess I'm in Wave 2. This is my last one as well. Now I have to wait another month
nothing here in south carolina
So nobody in NY received a FAR score?????
I'm in OH and nothing for me. I bet i'm in wave 2. Oh well, gotta get ready for BEC (for the third time). If all goes well this may be my last one.
Which state board are you taking a test with?
I quite believe it is not a coincident that many of us who are NASBA states' candidates have not yet received their score. I read through the blog and found that people who received their score are TX, CA, IL and some NH (who received it through email). Except for NH, all of those are non-NASBA states. So let's keep our hope up.
Did you have to complete an ID card which includes another copy of your passport in addition to the application of intent? I was looking through my account online and it says “An ID card has not been processed and is required.” Trying to see if maybe that is holding up my score.
Nothing in NJ yet…. holy moly, I'm exhausted. Definitely going to work from home today and recoup… (okay, and study for BEC…. ughhh)
California
oh yeah…. does anyone have any idea when they release scores in the morning? In another words, should I stop refeshing at 9 am or 10am?? Or is there a possibility that they release on a Friday night?
It is so tough trying to study while waiting for scores. I find myself having to read a MC question several times because I am not really focusing on it. I wish they would just set a firm date for when they would release. Then, at least, we wouldn't have to be constantly checking and worrying.
Good luck!
From what Jeff has said in the past, NASBA's posting is an IT process, so it is definitely possible that it could occur on a Friday night. I don't know if this means they never run it during the day. Hopefully, even if they don't usually do it during the day, they make an exception during the day today since people were expecting scores last night.
I am crossing my fingers for everyone!
Is AUD ever going to get released? This is the first part I've taken and I would LOVE to know whether I passed or not. I take REG on Wednesday. Maybe it's better I don't find out till after I take REG.
I know that back in Feb I received my AUD score around noon EDT. I checked all morning and then at lunch it was posted, so we may very well see scores today. Cross your fingers.
they have released on a Friday night around 9pm EST before.
Still no FAR in PA….. I am going to scream
Morning all – do you like the comment box at the top like it is now or at the bottom?
Do you like the default view to show the newest first or the oldest where you have to scroll to the bottom and click to the last page?
…I'm just experimenting with what is easiest for everyone…
I'm changing servers sometime in the next week, so I may be able to go back to the old fashioned comment system. It doesn't have as many features, but it takes you to the last post of the last page by default, which is nice…this one does not have that feature.
Please remember that clicking on a page number back and forth will refresh these comments b/c they are Java-based. Hitting Refresh or F5 x 1,000 constantly creates a mini Denial of Service (DOS for the BEC crowd
) attack and down she goes….
I really thought FAR was coming out and was told that it was barring problems…they must have had problems.
AUD people…you're getting a raw deal…
I took REG on Aug 15th so I know I am in the 2nd wave, just wanted to wish everyone good luck with your scores and hope they get to you before the weekend so you can enjoy it.
Did anybody receive their FAR score in FL?
This is emotional abuse! The test is bad enough but all the waiting is horrible!! This is probably their way of preparing us for busy season and seeing how much stress and anxiety we can take.
Personally I am glad we have to have 150 credit hours. I have found my alternative career in jewelry making, which I will probably be an expert by the time they release the scores!!!
Jeff – I like the box on the top better. Thank you for all the hard work to keep this site valuable.
I was so excited to see my FAR score last night…
Jeff – By the way, somebody in NASBA must have bet on your prediction and try to make some money if it is not coming out right.
Comment box at top
Default: most recent comment shown first
I prefer the comment box to appear at the top and the newest posts to appear first.
With regards to AICPA release of AUD scores, do they always do it in the late afternoon/evening or is it possible that they could release AUD scores in the morning or by midday? I am in VA, so if they released before the VA BoA closed, I think it would be possible to get my score today. If they released this late afternoon/evening, however, I assume I would have to wait til Monday for my score.
Thanks so much for your help and support. You are truly a lifeline to sanity for all of us.
Yes us Audit people are getting screwed.
Jeff – I don't care where the comment box is, but really prefer the default view of the newest first. Thanks for changing it. Also good to know that it's better to click a page number to make it refresh – I'm probably one who helped crashed your server last night… didn't know better.
So will NASBA likely release FAR at some (any) point today? Or will it be this evening? I guess I don't know if there's a reason it's usually 8pm, and therefore it's just delayed 24 hours, or if I should continue haunting the site all day.
Ditto.
For those of us in CA, the CA Board of Accountancy is closed today, so that is not going to help get us our scores by tomorrow (if released by AICPA today)
I'm going Ghandi style…. Today begins my hunger strike until AUD scores are released!
Thanks for the input!
^^^ agree
love it…I need to lose weight anyways. Seriously, what's the deal? Now it's going to be another whole weekend you know.
Newest first is better. Thanks
This is torture for Audit candidates… unnecessary suspense. I have wasted entire week waiting for the result.
This was my last one + took on July 1 (longest wait) = perfect recipe to get depressed, just to find out no Audit score yet !!
I am as good as dead.
LOVE the newest comments on top!
Anyone got FAR scores in Oklahoma. Please let me know… please please this wait is killing me…
My last one too! and now we're going to have to wait through the weekend. So frustrating, just release already, please…
Is the NASBA site down for anyone else. Maybe they are uploading
I'm joining your hunger strike! we can still drink though, right?
It's not down for me, just not reporting a score. Hopefully tonight damn it
it's down for me too
Nasba is not working for me either
NASBA is down for me too! Hopefully that means good things!
it is down for me I hope they are uploading
down like jay sean and weezy
anyone in MD receive FAR yet?
im in virginia and thankfully got my FAR score yesterday morning, but am still waiting for audit… does anyone know when the virginia nasba closes for the day? is it even worth checking the site today or should i just pack it in for the weekend? thanks
Nasba is down for me too (Jersey) as of 12 seconds ago…
I'm drinking right now! In fact, let's change it to a drinking strike… One drink every hour until the scores come out!
Nasba's back up, still no score though.
Ditto…
going directly to http://www.nasba.org isn't working for me either. however, if i refresh the historical web address, which includes my section id, in my browser history, nasba works. weird. -
Can all states check their scores on NASBA? I'm in Oklahoma and I thought we had to wait for the results to be up on the OK website.
Its back up!
I am from Oklahoma too, no we can't check from NASBA website we have to check from state website, are you waiting for FAR scores as well?
we're getting all excited. we're probably the ones killing the website – yet we still believe that they brought the site down to update the scores. we're sillies
Just a hypothetical question:
If the AICPA released AUD scores today, is there any way we could see them on Saturday. I'm in IL, a non-NASBA state, and I am curious if they would post the scores on a weekend? My past experience is that the release of the scores on the IL website is pretty reliable and seems to be the morning after the AICPA scores release….what do you guys think???
Anyone call NASBA to check status?
VA BoA closes at 4 pm (I have called at 3:30 and they haven't answered the phone in the past, this is government after all). Unless AICPA releases AUD scores this morning (which I don't even know if that is possible), it looks like we won't have scores in VA until Monday at the earliest.
I am in the same boat as your are with AUD, but I am very thankful that VA doesn't post via NASBA so at least I got my FAR score.
And now it is back down, hopefully they will be posting scores soon.
I typed my section ID and birthdate in and saved that page as a “favorite” to check my score quickly… and via this method, the NASBA site never went down….
NASBA site is still down for me.
I called NY NASBA yesterday, they told me that they started releasing scores last week and will continue through October and that you can only find your score online or through mail.
Yes I am waiting for FAR. I called the state board yesterday and they told me they should be up soon, but didn't know when. They also said NASBA updates the state board website directly sometime between 9am and 11am everyday. So if it isn't up by 11am it isn't going to be up that day.
Alright…good news on the site…last night's outage should not repeat itself tonight…memory has been upgraded
So do we think FAR will be posted during the day or not until 9pm.. Thanks!
I am in Cali, and I got mine in the wee hours Thursday morning.
Not until 9pm EDT…
that is just plain evil
Having the newest comments on top is great!
Looks like we'll all just have to stay on the edge of our seats until this evening. Good luck everyone!
Does it apply to all the states that have not received their scores yet?
That's a good question. Did you try calling IL to ask them?
Jeff, if AICPA releases audit today (likely?) then would nasba release tonight, tomorrow or monday? I just don't want to get my hopes up and check all weekend.
Any news on FAR in Michigan, another71 predicted they would be out yesterday…. The wait is killing me
Does anyone know what the worst case senario is as far as when AUD scores could be released? Like what would be the latest they would release scores for someone in the first wave with no new simulations?
Jeff,
When do you think we can expect audit results?
Let me know if you get your FAR score. I'm hoping I didn't have a new sim-I'd hate to have to wait until Sept. to find out.
We will have to wait until at least 9pm tonight.
this is really crazy how they make you wait. they should at least give us a countdown or something. we could be waiting all day, and find out we still won't get them, especially if had new sims.
I'm checking…trying to get some info…
People I don't have the Audit scores (Yes I'm waiting too) but I do have the answer to our problems…. We need to initiate a “peer review” of the AICPA exam grading practices. I expect we will find some internal control issues, as well as efficiency issues. Who's down?
Worst case scenario? Monday AICPA release.
Most likely? Today or Saturday.
btw – I enabled video commenting…click the “Use Media” under the post button…I may use my Mac to record a message sometime (after a few beers, of course)
Jeff, I didn't receive my FAR score from NY. Do you know if I will be in wave 2? Or nobody in NASBA states gets their scores yet? Thanks!!!
If AICPA releases today, when can we expect our scores in non-Nasba states (like IL)?
You have got to be kidding…………read…….why make someones life harder by not reading others comments.
I honestly wish I lived in a state where they don't offer electronic score reporting to candidates. This guessing game is worse than a 4-year old on Jeopardy. (I guess that means I have the patience of a 4-year old.) Patiently waiting on AUD, my last exam (2nd attempt [70])
Or rather this is my 2nd attempt, b/c I got a 70 on my first attempt.
I wouldn't mind, as long as it's not too much work
Waiting on AUD, just like the rest of the world.
Maybe everyone got a new sim and we're all waiting till the second wave.
If so, then I guess I rest easy for awhile at 2/2.
Its' 2009…i should be able to take and get scores for all four parts in TWO WEEKS tops….lets vote for change in 2012…or something like that
Thank you, some people should fail just on principle…READ!!!
ok, if by some slim chance AICPA releases Audit here soon, what are the chances of getting our scores in Virginia. VA is really efficient, they usually report their scores the next a.m. after AICPA release…but has anyone ever seen them update their website on the weekend? I haven't
To me… it seems that everybody is efficient except for AICPA itself.
I am supposed to be going away for the weekend, and leaving at 9pm tonight. This anxiety is too much, I took out my anger on waiting for FAR, and sent some mean texts and refused to go on my trip.
This was my 4th attempt at FAR and if i dont pass I have one more shot before I lose AUD. Not to mention I have REG next week…. I might have a panic attack soon.
Suggestion for site:
Jeff,
It seems like you are always having to answer the same questions multiple times (which you always do with great patience); I would volunteer to help out on the project, but I was thinking of setting up an excel spreadsheet or something simple where the user enters their state, the date they took the test, and the section and then it would estimate their AICPA (and NASBA, if applicable) release date for wave 1 and 2. I guess when the predication date passes, it would have to be manually updated each day… maybe you already been down this path. Your thoughts?
Disgusting isn't it?? Pending scores are like a dark cloud hanging over you.
That is a very good idea…I'll set up a Google Doc…
When I talked to NASBA today, I was told they expected AICPA to continue to release scores through the first week of September. Exactly what that means, I have no idea.
How many accountants does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
5. one to hold the lightbulb while standing on a table and 4 to Pivot it.
wah wah.
They are! If I find out I passed before its time to leave, I'll go. If I failed… I am staying home. I think my boyfriend is very pissed off, but he's trying to deal with my insanity over this.
I am praying for the 24-48 hour's after AICPA release to be correct. Didn't that happen Wednesday at 4ish? If I could get a score before I leave work, that would be excellent!
people still going to ask “expecting” something to have changed – they're going to want updates from the last time the google doc was posted.
This is weird but I find myself in the same EXACT situation as you… except for the fact that I already lost REG back in April and I'm restudying for it now. The fact that I'm in another situation where I could be loosing AUD is just down right ridiculous. I just have the feeling that somehow, somewhere, someone is just pointing and laughing at me…
Pivot Table! (buh-doom-CHING)
I know Kentucky (an AICPA state) doesn't update on the weekends. I would bet since today is Friday the AICPA will take a 2 hour lunch break.
Jeff,
Thanks for running this site, over the past year it has helped me get though the exam. After failing FAR twice, I found out I passed:
FAR 82
AUD 76
BEC 79
REG 85
So thanks again for bringing a little bit of sanity to this painful process!
what state?
Well done! Congrats!
Pivot Table! (buh-doom-LAME)
Link to Google Doc (we'll see if this works…)
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgqoQ36…
Anyone can edit the document…dangerous, but I'll give it a shot…
How do we know if the AICPA has released our scores? GA FAR my last part… I prbably should not have put a NO in the AICPA released column..
I have never used google docs. It looks like a lot of good information, but kind of hard to digest without sorting. Also, the headings keep changing. Is there a way to at least lock editing rights on the headings (once the users decide how they want it)?
You're awesome, Jeff!! I like the google docs!!
Sorting ideas anyone?
Maybe a tab for each state and a heading for each section???
My Guess for CA is Audit comes out via the AICPA on Monday as the Board is on furlough the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Friday's of each month starting in August 2009. Just my Luck..
Good Luck all…..
AUD is the only section still pending AICPA release
I will try to lock the headings…this could be a disaster anyway
I can't take the pressure anymore! I'm just going to assume that I'm in wave 2 and maybe I'll check on Monday. I'm waiting on my FAR grade from 7/15. I've already passed the other three. I'm not getting anything done just sitting around waiting for it, so I have to get out and do something other than obsess about it. Good luck everyone!
See you in 15 minutes
CA board is closed Fridays.. So even if AUD gets released today, CA wont see it till monday?
If someone can confirm that then i wont be expecting it on sat morning
Has it ever taken this long for all sections to be released? we're over a week now since wave 1 BEC release just wondering
Can't “confirm”, but the CBA is closed today, so even if released, I don't see how they will have scores posted by tomorrow. Bummer. (I posted this same comment earlier)
I just took the FAR section yesterday (in NY) and a few thoughts — the multiple choice section wasn't that bad, surprised that there were a decent amount of questionst that looked like BEC-type questions and how many government/NFP questions there were. The sims were insane. I don't know where they got some of that information – I am just hoping that everyone else skrewed it up just as bad as I did. And now the wait begins….
NASBA web site is down
The open spreadsheet was a great idea in theory, but some people lack the maturity to handle such freedom.
-Jeff
NASBA wib site is down maybe there updating the FAR scores now at least I hope so.
OMG please
Unfortunate but not surprising
I noticed that too, but who knows at this point. Trying to stay optimistic, but waiting sucks!
hey i took far a few weeks ago too and also thought the sims were very difficult, totally different than things i had seen before, not sure if that means i'm gonna be in wave 2 because the questions definitely seemed to be of a new type.
Is it very likely AUD scores could be posted today, or should I just give up and start checking next week?
Yes, even my bookmarked NASBA website is down
I thought I posted this before, but…has it ever taken the AICPA this long to release all sections of a wave, just wondering since BEC was released over a week ago.
I posted this earlier – CBA is closed, so I am not expecting scores tomorrow. Damn CA budget crisis!!!
Jeff, I'm curious if AICPA does in fact release audit scores today, will non-Nasba states (such as IL) release scores tomorrow even though it's a Saturday?
I'm going to go with…give up. They won't be out tonight.
Webiste is up again – No FAR grades for FL yet, well at least for me…
likewise in NY
Still waiting for FAR in GA. Site is back up now but no scores for me. Looks like tonight or Monday.
Jeff, if AICPA does in fact release audit today, can IL still release the scores to us tomorrow even though it's a Saturday??
Damn you audit. It's my last test. When will you come out!?
Is there any chance we may have to wait until Monday for FAR?
Me too
I WANT MY FAR SCORE NOW. THIS WAIT IS KILLING ME. I've passed the other 3 (after a few tries) so this one determines whether or not I get my company bonus of 5k for passing within a year of starting…I started last Sept, so if I dont pass NOW then I don't get the bonus.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You are probably right, I just didn't want to hear it.
Thanks and good luck.
Ha, you must work at the same firm I do. All of my frist years have passed since they were offered a bonus. My class was not, so now we are all struggeling along to get it done soon!
NASBA's Twitter stated “7460 FAR & 9 REG scores were released by the AICPA to NASBA from the July/Aug 2009 testing window” on 8/19/09 @ about 3pm. It also stated scores would be posted within 24/48 hours. 24-48 HOURS IS UP – WHERE IS MY SCORE?????????
No fair, I didn't get my Audit score
I'm stuck here in VA getting ready for back to school, while my husband is hanging out in Florida checking on our house we can't sell…and hanging out at Siesta Key.
I guess there is this BIG frustration with FAR scores not being posted because AICPA decided to release FAR before AUD, and now NASBA is confused
.
Had they posted my AUD mark all this would not have happened.
I hate this shuffling of order. I also want my AUD score and concentrate on my FAR preparation which is scheduled for coming Monday.
Anyway Good luck to everyone who is waiting on scores like me. And congratulations to all who have their scores in and have passed.
Jeff, Does NASBA ever update there site in middle of the day or only between 9 PM & midnight, Should I even bother going to NASBA or not?
I received my score form NH for FAR via e-mail
PASSSSSS
Audit should be release today (if you observe the pattern of the release of BEC, REG & FAR.) They all appear to be release every other day (excluding weekends). Go figure!
You get a bonus of $5K if you pass as well? Which Big 4 are you at?
Only 9pm EDT or later…
Congrats! I still waiting on my score for REG.( Looks like I'm in wave 2).
I just spoke to NASBA and they told me my FAR score will be posted tonight at 8 oclock NY time. I took my exam 7/14/09. Hopeing for the best. GOOD LUCK
Jeff,
If the AICPA releases scores after 5pm today will NASBA post them by 9pm Saturday. Has NASBA ever posted scores over the weekend?
*freedumb
Question for the Group.
I am using Beckers to study for BEC (my last one hopefully). I have heard rumors of some topics on the exam that Beckers doesn't cover. Anyone have this problem?
AUD – Took 8/20
FAR – 92
REG – 95
My job isn't giving me Sh$%. I'm looking for a new job next week. Damn salary freeze blah blah.
PLEASE GOD MAKE AICPA RELEASE AUDIT
I received a 90 in BEC after about 2 weeks of studying with becker. My opinion is that everything is covered in Becker BEC that I encountered on the test. Now did I remember all of it, no, but I didn't see anything on the exam that wasn't at least familiar.
I studied using the Becker Materials only. I got a 91 on BEC. There is only a small portion of IT that Becker doesn't cover. A supplement to their materials can be found on their website. I didn't actually get any questions that Becker didn't cover. Best of luck!
KPMG gets a 5k bonus if passed within a year of starting. KPMG also reimburses for one round of exams and for Becker.
I am in your exact same shoes. I am agonizing over my audit score while I should finish my studies for FAR, which I am also taking on Monday.
I despise governmental and not-for-profit acctng.
Best of luck!!!
NH candidates are so lucky to get their score through email.
I wish NASBA realizes that we are now in 2009… we have computers… and we can even check email from the phone. There is no need to wait for USPS mail.
Deloitte does the same. I think it is basically the same across the Big 4.
Correct, use the becker material, do the multichoice….. I actually found the Becker Multi Choice to be quite a bit more difficult than the actual questions on the real test. If you are doing well on the Becker questions you will do great on the real test.
PwC has the same policy.
they didnt have that bonus for my start class… if I had that kind of motivations, I wouldnt still be taking it as a senior!
so the 24-48 hours thing was just all BS?
I agree about the governmental and NFP. UGH. Good luck!!!
I had an entire essay on one of my FAR sims that wasn't even mentioned in Becker…however I have heard other people say that they have info on one test that they think really belonged under another test… maybe that was the case with that sim…hard to say because FAR is the only one I've taken to date
hmmm…not sure about that one…I've never seen a Sat NASBA release, but there are some who claim that they have had one (prior to me tracking it..)
So what is the final status for Audit score? Is AICPA releasing Audit today, any word Jeff?
TX – I called the board since I didn't receive my FAR score and they say that I could possibly get my score next week as they are expecting more scores to come in then. Has anyone experienced this are were they just telling me something to get me off the phone?
so does EY
It's friday afternoon… and we have been waiting for the score since last night instead of having fun somewhere else, thanks to NASBA.
Jeff,
Can NASBA post the score tonight or we have to wait till Monday night for them to post. Although OK is not NASBA state but i have gotten my result the next day when NASBA release the score. If they do it tonight i might be able to see in tomorrow or best bet is Monday for sure unless in wave 2.
called 1-800-CPA-exam just now, they check my FARE info and said I am in wave 1 and should be receiving my score online later this evening or saturday morning…
no word….all is quiet
Auditing and more FAR scores were released to NASBA
Audit's out!
This is a joke??? If so, not funny. If not, YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
what state?
So it takes NASBA 24/48hrs to post scores. Anyone know how long it takes for non-NASBA states to post scores, specifically CA?
They're right. NASBA tweet
7157 scores
Anyone know if NASBA posts on weekends? If AICPA released audit are we going to have to wait for monday/tuesday for scores?
CA could be as early as the next day, but think we will have to wait for Monday as the CBA is closed today
California Board of Accountancy is closed on Fridays….does that mean no chance of results for AUD in California until Monday?
Deloitte must have changed their policy b/c my offer letter stated “$5,000 bonus” and the bonus was to cover the costs of the exams and study materials. Anything left over was the bonus.
I studied for 2 days on BEC and passed with an 80 something. BEC doesn't take much but general business knowledge that should have been learned in business courses through college. Just concentrate on Chapters 3 and 5. Those are the most difficult.
Also, why do people care what they score on this thing? It doesn't matter unless you get in the top 10.
Does this mean they are posted or that NASBA will be posting them tonight?
581 FAR scores…. that doesn't sound too reassuring
I think I answered my own question…I looked back at my result for BEC, it came on Sat, Jun 13, after it had been released by AICPA on Friday afternoon.
So….
It always takes them at least 24 hrs I think. So maybe tomorrow night.
more scores always seem to trickle out for each section after the initial release. 9 more REG scores were released with the FAR group. don't know why but nothing terribly unusual about it.
Those are in addition to the 7000+ that the AICPA released on Wed.
Good to know. This is actually the first time I'm keeping track of scores being released. I wish I could say it would be the last…
That is more reassuring, thanks for the clarification
What state?
Why is IL the only state that has an acceptable reporting method by having their own site and it actually tells you that the score is pending as opposed to the NASBA method of just showing Error: Score not found?
How do you know how many scores/when they are relased?
Good to hear news about score release. Hopefully, I will see one of mine tonight.
I just called that number and a woman told me they have not received my score from the AICPA. If anyone else calls, please post their reply!
I am hoping she was just confused. She tried to give me my scores from May.
I'm pretty sure Oboma set that up
Does anyone know if they have released the Texas FAR Exam scores yet? I took it on the seventh of August and I am praying I am in wave #1.
Just called VA BoA and they have not received any AUD scores yet. They also confirmed that if they did receive them later this evening, they would not post them until Monday. Looks like I will be calling them again bright and early Monday.
Has anyone gotten their FAR score in NY yet?
But we should be 1 nation, not 1 state
Thanks for posting this lolo3; I was just getting ready to call them so now I don't have to. Yeah, I think it will Monday a.m., too.
I just got off the phone with the IL board and the message I received was that they would have our AUD scores posted tomorrow morning. Nothing was confirmed, its just what I took away from the call. So IL AUD people…let the wait until tomorrow morning begin!!!
Called 1800cpaexam and they said ohio scores for FAR have not been received yet. I'm so confused.
Thanks
Has anyone heard anything on Florida audit scores. I took it on July 1st.
I just got off the phone with IL (didn't see this post) and their response was “It's possible”
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? stupid ohio… i can't wait any longer!
I want to know too!! can I expect to see my AUD score tomorrow morning on the CA site?? =0
plz don't make me wait until monday….
I just called up NASBA and they told me my score for FAR….. Minnesota
PASSED!
And I thought i FOR SURE failed
NASBA dont give any scores over the phone not even if pass or fail
thanks for letting us know!
Congrats Erin!
CA …sorry
Jeff, when FAR is released by NASBA tonight, will you send us a tweet?
They actually do in some cases…85% of the time, they wouldn't play ball,
but I got my pass or fail from them on more than one occasion over the
phone. The key is to tell them a sad, sad story.
Jeff, when NASBA releases FAR scores tonight, will you send a tweet? Thanks!
There was a comment earlier this morning that someone received there FAR score in TX. I haven't received mines yet; I'm hoping I'm not in Wave 2 because this is my last time. I took my exam on July 11th. Has anyone else received there score in TX for FAR?
Well they just did! I was just calling to see if I was even in Wave 1 cause I thought I had a new simulation and the lady just told me my score.
Sure – I can do that…
can we expect scores for AUD to be released tonite in NY???
Has anyone received the FAR score from Michigan yet?? I have been waiting since July 10th!!!!
hi jeff can we expect AUD scores to be posted tonite in NY?
When would NASBA state like CO show their result online?? Any possibility of getting result on Saturday?
uh oh…now people in NASBA release states are picking up their phones.
are we sure its going to be tonight?
Did you call a specific nasba number or what?
I called this morning (for Ohio also) and they pretty much told me that they don't know anything, they don't get that information and I should wait until the end of the month. It's ridiculous how we pay all those exam fees and can't even get decent customer support…
I called twice but no luck
Just called nasba again, talked to a different person and they said in general that Ohio FAR scores have not been released yet (they acted like they haven't received them from the AICPA yet). I'm not going to hold my breath on getting them anytime soon.
Thanks for the info, they seem to be clueless when you call them. I can't sleep, work or study, please nasba post those scores already…
When can we see our scores online? Audit – CO state. I know NASBA states need to post it. Dont want to wait till Monday.
I thought the One wanted one world…?
nope just 1800cpaexam. she just asked for my SS# and what section, then told me my score. took 30 seconds
Are you calling 800-cpa-exam?
NASBA office is closed now..can't get through
no…***maybe*** Saturday night, but Monday night is a safer bet.
not sure….haven't heard a thing today about their apparent computer issue last night
That's the standard line…no worries
Now that you say that it sounded like he was emphasizing to check online periodically. With my luck i'll probably be in wave 2 anyway.
hey jeff… new to the website. love it though. when or if FAR is released tonight. is there a time to shoot for? I've heard 8pm EST?
Has anyone received an Oklahoma BEC grade yet?
Thanks!
Hey – thanks for reading!
If scores come out, it will be around 9pm Eastern.
-Jeff
Good stuff.
I can't wait! I took audit and reg in this window and thought for sure I failed them both. I got an 83 in reg, I'm hoping the same holds true for audit. I'm taking bec in thurs. If anyone used becker for bec, did you feel their materials were adequate? Thanks, good luck to those testing and congrats to those who passed.
Do we know why it takes NASBA 24-48 hours to update? Is it a lag in the system? An approximation so people like us dont jump through the computer at them for it not being up immediately after release? Or do they just want to torture us? And why do they release on a Friday afternoon? Thats the worst thing I've ever heard.
I just did it about an hour ago. I told the rep that FAR was my last section and I really really really had to know whether my score is in wave 1 or not. The rep asked me for my state and SS# and told me that my score was posted. Then I asked if she can give me some indication about what I should expect. She giggled saying “You will have good news”.
That's it, I'm done. Thank you Jeff for this great website. I was following your website since Sep '08. Your story of passing the CPA is really inspiring. I told all my friends about this awesome website and I keep on telling them not to give up, using your story of success as a living example.
Hopefully we all hear something tonight. 9/8c
THANKS!
BTW I took FAR in NY
I just spoke with Ohio NASBA about my FAR and to see if I was in wave 1. They said they couldn't see my score but that it would be released tonight between 8 and 9PM.
What about Audit Scores in CA??? Tomorrow Morning or Monday?????
I took BEC at the beginning of July and passed with the Becker materials. They covered the majority of information, but I would be sure to read the additional information that they provide online.
boom! I've had that “You have good news” line from NASBA before…it's
great!
Congrats to you mendy!
CA could be out tonight or tomorrow…probably tomorrow…
Cool, i guess it all depends on who you talk to.
What about audit scores for Florida? Tomorrow or Monday?
I stumbled upon your blog this week actually! I wish I had found it sooner. I'm waiting on AUD in Louisiana. What are the chances of LA getting the scores up tonight?
Thanks Jeff….You the Man…..I'll let the crowd know if I see any results
Do anyone know if the FAR scores have been released for TX? I'm trying to see if I'm in Wave 2. I took my exam on July 11th.
Any news on NJ?
…and KS Audit scores? Sorry for the redundant question, I am new to the details of the scoring process…
Jeff- I used the name “Go” to post messages on here. My messages wouldn't get posted anymore. I don't know why??
I am trying a new name.
Does anyone know if the FAR scores have been released for TX?
Anyone know what effect the fact that the CA BOA offices are closed today will have on how quickly scores come out? From their website:
“Pursuant to the Governor's Executive Order S-13-09, beginning in August 2009, the California Board of Accountancy office will be closed the first, second, and third Friday of each month until July 1, 2010.”
So AUDIT NASBA tomorrow or Monday Jeff?
Has anyone received there FAR score in TX?
Any1 hear anything about NY FAR scores and when they will be posted????
Jeff,
Why could AUD scores be posted in CA tonite and NY def not tonite. Is there any reason?
Good luck everyone, I'll be back on Monday, sweatin it out like most everyone else
Has anyone received there FAR score in TX?
Hey all – I haven't seen anything on here about TN scores. I'm waiting for FAR…anyone know if NASBA has released FAR scores in TN yet?? I called but the message said the office was closed. I'm really really hoping I'm in wave 1…
Hey all – anyone here waiting on TN scores? I'm waiting on FAR, and didn't know if NASBA has posted them yet. I was confused reading the feed on here – it looks like they haven't posted scores for any states yet due to computer issues??
i wish.
Still waiting for FAR and AUD in Missouri; any updates on when those will be released?
Another hour and a half ….FAR…….mmmm sacred,it was a monters and a half.
I am waiting for FAR/TN. I took it on 07/24 and am hoping to be in the 1st wave too.
When did you take it? So far nobody from NASBA states receives their FAR score, except for NH that they are getting it through email.
I am hoping I am seeing it at 9pm. Last friday, I got my BEC at 9pm sharp.
Good luck!
Has anyone received AUD scores in IL? They posted a note on their website saying they have posted scores for all four sections. I hope I am not Wave 2!!
I'm waiting in NY too. Hopefully around 9. I hope I can keep my mind busy that long. I want to work for NASBA someday. Can you imagine what it must be like to have all that power? To know that you control when someone receives their score. Must be amazing!
Its because CA does not use NASBA, NY does use NASBA.
CA is always faster than NASBA
Has anyone received an IL AUDIT score? I just noted a new comment on the IL BOE website that they have posted all scores received. I hope I am not in wave 2!!
I typed two comments cause it looked like it didn't post the first one – OOPS! haha…I'm so nervous I'm kinda scatter brained. I took it July 6th, so I feel like I've been waiting forever!! I am just hoping and praying that I'm in wave 1. I've got REG left after this (hoping I passed FAR), so it would be nice to know one way or another now.
Thanks so much!! Good luck to you too!
Has anyone received an Audit score in IL? They just posted a note on the IL BOE website saying scores from all four exams have been posted. I hope I am not in Wave 2!!

I'm gonna be checking or AUD on NASBA tonight just in case
yeah – i got it this morning at 3:15am. i think that means you're in the 2nd wave buddy. sorry bro.
I haven't gotten mine either. This is only the 2nd person I've seen who's gotten their score in TX…based on some of the other posts I'm hoping it may be possible that we could see some other scores released next week…any ideas on this?

87 in MI. I can't believe I passed! My celebration won't last long cuz I have to get ready for Auditing in one week.
Just got FAR score in IN, Passed with an 80. First one. Feels very good. Congratulations to everyone who passed. Those who haven't (Failed AUD last window) do not give up.Those who are waiting. I feel your pain on waiting. Took 73 days to get AUD score last window and then failed.
Back to studying for retaking AUD on 8/26. Passing FAR will definitely give me a boost.
took mine july 6 in MA, didn't get mine yet – although someone below said they got theirs from MA
good luck
ANyone from Michigan get their's yet?
I'm in LA and still no FAR score

Ohio is up! I passed!
Just got my score in Ohio. I passed FAR with 83. My first exam – yay!!!
Anybody got a score from FL yet?
Should i have already received my score if i took it in NY?! and took it july 31st???
Just got my score in Ohio. I passed FAR with 83. My first exam – yay!!!
I just got my FAR score in OH!!! I passed with an 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even know how it's possible!! I am so freaking excited, I can't even tell you!! 3 for 3. I take my last part tomorrow- BEC. Say a prayer for me to pass!! I can't wait to be done!!!
Welcome to wave 2 my friend, by the way congrats to all who passed.
1st section I've taken….96 in LA!!!
I haven't got mine yet in Ohio, must be in the 2nd wave. That stinks.
81 for FAR in Ohio! I'm done after nine months – what an incredible journey!
So, am I to assume that if I'm in NY and my score hasn't showed up that I'm in wave 2? This is agony…
Did AUD scores come out in OH yet?
Anyone got a score in FL?
I haven't got mine in ohio either. I took it on July 20. I thought for sure I would be in this wave.
passed FAR in IN, 93!!!, I felt terrible coming out of the exam, unbelievable. Good luck to everyone else!
I passed FAR in OH!!! I got an 80!!!
I have no idea how it's humanly possible. I am so freaking excited!!! I take my last part tomorrow- BEC!! Wish me luck!!
Good luck to everyone out there!!
I think I'll have a few cocktails and check for audit tomorrow…
I'm in the same boat with you! I posted above, I didn't see your comment. With my other 2 parts, I never checked right at 9. Maybe they most them in waves within the wave? IDK, I'm grasping at straws…I sat for the exam on 7/13, by the way
Lee – Amy from work here. Apparently I'm in 2 this time. This is the worst.
lol, u got a 94 on FAR, and now your gonna study? go out and party!
Will Illinois release AUD tomorrow morning???
THanks
I didn't get mine either
. Took it middle of July.
If my score isn't up for FAR in CT, does that mean I'm in the 2nd wave? Noo!!
The AICPA just released them today. If I'm correct, the earliest NASBA would then release is Monday night at 9 PM.
FAR for PA is on NASBA's website! Got a 90!! Passed Reg (88). Need Audit score (but just took it on Wed) and take/score for BEC. Let's get it done!
Also – congratulations
Just give it a little more time. It could be released between now and midnight if you are a NASBA state.
75 in NY! I'm done!!!!!
Even though others in your state have already received scores?
Has anyone received there FL FAR score tonight?
I'm waiting in FL and haven't seen my score either
Amy,
Do not give up just yet. AICPA released an additional 500+ FAR scores today with the AUD release. Not sure whether they would update tonight or would update Monday or Tuesday night. If I had to guess, I would say they would update next week. And just because you might be in wave 2 does not mean you failed.
Keep the faith until you really know.
Thanks, we are here to support each other in good times and bad.
No score yet for FAR in NJ… does anyone else have theirs?
has anyone gotten a non passing score yet?
Do they post all of the scores for one state at a time? Since other people from Ohio have their scores and I don't does that mean that i'm in the 2nd wave or do they post scores throughout the night for one state? Anybody know this?
some people said they got their score in NJ. I am just not one of them
hahaha… I know… I feel like when I get my score, If I bombed it, I'll feel like a reject posting that I failed because it seems like noone fails on here….
According to CPA Net, not all of the states have received scores yet: http://www.cpanet.com/cpa_forum/forum_posts.asp…
I have the same question. In Indiana, but my score has not posted while others have.
Just got my FAR score (NJ jurisdiction – exam date 1st July 2009) – passed with an 85. PHEW!
Good luck all
FAR MN is up
When was your score for LA posted? I am still waiting on mine.
So if I have not received my score in DE, I should assume I am in the second wave, right?? I took it on August 7th….today has been a very tense day to say the least!!
CT FAR is out. I passed, can't believe it. FAR is a real beast, I was afraid I would fail it again.
Yeah, I took mine on the 7th too…. still waiting (NJ)… I feel like I might be in the 2nd wave
no doubt, are those who didnt pass just not posting, or did NASBA only release the passing scores
Anyone from NE received their score yet?
When is AUD cuming out?
I got FAR score from NY. I can't believe I just passed my last one!!!!
For those of you who have been waiting for your scores only to be let down by a failing grade:
I am still waiting on AUD, but when I failed REG a few months ago, It seemed like everyone was passing. People are more likely to post passing grades on this site than when they fail. However, statistically about half of us are going to fail. Don't get discouraged. If it were easy, we wouldn't get paid as much.
Thank god!!!! PASSED FARE……
Anyone got a score in FL?
like certifiedpissedoffaccountant said above, people are more likely to post a passing grade on here. You are not alone so don't get discouraged! a lot of people posting a passing score now might also have failed a couple parts before
Has anyone received an AUDIT score in IL? The BOE posted a note saying all scores had been posted. I hope I'm not in Wave 2!
FAR is out in GA. I passed…. AM DONE FOREVER!!!!!
Good luck to everyone that is still waiting!
83 FAR NJ im DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Good luck to everyone else out there!
I just checked again. Still nothing….
NY FAR Passed 81- Its my last one!!! Good Luck to everyone still taking exams, you can do it. Don't give up!! Thanks Jeff for having this site!
No worries, all… I'll let you know if I fail….. maybe it will make others feel better….
If our score isnt post by tomorrow morning we should assume we are in wave 2?
93 FAR in IN! Wow I thought the exam was terrible. I studied with Becker 20 days straight, 6-8hours a day (was not working at the time).
How I did it: I took Becker Fast Pass, but missed the first 5 lectures (due to becoming a new father), so I ended up jumping in on Lectures 6-9 and then went and self studied lectures 1-5. I went through all the MC and Supplemental Q's 3 times (all 1359 Q's, yes that's over 4,000 Q's in total) I kept a spreadsheet of my results on each lecture and focused in on those parts that I scored lower than 75% on. I took the 2 practice exams and got an 80 on the MC on the first one, then the day before the exam, I took the 2nd practice exam and got a 64 on the MC, so I was freaking out, but yeah Becker is obviously amazing. Highly recommend it. Good luck to everyone!
According to CPA Net not all the states have received scores: http://www.cpanet.com/cpa_forum/forum_posts.asp…
I have my NY FAR score…I'VE PASSED ALL OF THEM!!! YAY!
Yep looks like it…any idea what the new sim is that everyone is talking about?
NY FAR – 81!!!! Good Luck to all those still completing exams. Thanks Jeff for having this site. To all of those who have failed, don't give up. You can do it!!!
FAR is out in FL
Ughhh.. I had a RIDICULOUS sim… but it was so bad, I thought it would be something they'd throw out… I can't say what it was on…. but it was an off-the-wall topic (none of the typical FAR issues) and it had a bunch of J/Es. It was brutal. I just lciked options because I had NO CLUE what any of it was.
If you are a NASBA State, I would give up hope already if everyone else has gotten their scores….at least I have…people in DE have got their scores and I am tired of refreshing my screen…oh well…another month's wait!!
Hi Jeff,
So Audit has been released by AIPCA. When can I expect scores is Maryland. Do you know if MD releases score on a Saturday?
Everyone that is still waiting. Not sure who can answer this question, but there were 500+ FAR scores released today along with the AUD release. Not sure if those scores would be posted tonight or next week. Does anyone know? If I had to guess, I would bet on next week. So maybe there is still hope that you might get your score. I know how you are feeling, it took me 70+ days of waiting to get my AUD score last window and what made it worse is I failed with a 73.
Ok…we had similar sims!! Maybe thats the new one then!! J/Es suck!! Oh well…what another month's wait, right??
I couldnt even digest my food let alone be social at work today cause of all the tension around the results….we can only pray for the best,….this is my last one and I hope I pass else I lose BEC and I think I might just give up on the exam as well…
Same here I just checked FAR and still nothing…..
if you're a NASBA state, yes
On NASBA twitter, it says that CPAES post the scores…. are these people who post scores?
so auditing scores are coming out currently?
Hey Jeff, any idea if the new 581 FAR scores might have been included in the release tonight? Thank you for all your help here….all of us owe a lot to you and your site for all the motivation, information and guidance!!
Do they post all of the scores for one state at a time? Since other people from Ohio have their scores and I don't does that mean that i'm in the 2nd wave or do they post scores throughout the night for one state? Anybody know this?
Thanks for that info, Lee – I didn't know about the additional 500 FAR scores. See you Tuesday
When I applied to take the exam I was finishing up my last course for my BA. Was I suppose to send them proof I finshed in order to get my scores released? I am freaking out a little thinking that I might have my score voided because I didn't send them my transcripts again.
I got my score for FAR–CO–took it 7/15. Unfortunately, I didn't pass. Hope those of you waiting did.
I applied before I was finished, and I had 30 days after taking my exam to submit proof that I completed my requirements. I do not know if that is different for different states, though. You should definitely figure that out, because you will likely need to submit final transcripts still.
what does being in a NASBA state mean?
FL FAR is out.
How were you given permission to sit for the exam if you never sent proof you finished your last course?
what does being in a NASBA state mean? and what does it mean if we are in wave 2?
sorry i'm new to all of this.
Massachusetts FAR scored just posted!! Tested on July 1st.
The states sets there own requirements to take the exam. I have read some states will allow you to sit for the exam but will not release scores until you provide proof of meeting their eligibility requirements. Just depends on the state requirements.
Yeah, if they allowed you to take the exam, you must have turned in your transcript already.
it JUST posted? were you checking before? i took mine on july 6th, and i've been refreshing all night.
Has anyone who tested in August for AUD received scores?? Has the august 7th cut-off shown to be accurate?
I'm curious because I tested for AUD on August 8th. Any ideas???
Has anyone received their AUD scores??? I'm desperate!!!
Ok, I am calling it a night and gonna watch Bill Maher….CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who passed…hope to come over to your side soon!! To those who failed…hang in there and keep going!!! It will all work out in the end!!!
Has anyone from New Jersey received a FAR score?
I took FAR on the 7th of August and have not received my result yet so Wave 2 it is….I would definitely think you are in Wave 2!!
Anybody from SC got a FAR score yet?
Failed FAR for the second time – last score 69, this score 74. The bad news – I have to retake this $%^&**& beast. Good news – Yeager boosted my score by 5 points…
As Cindy Simpson would say ” I probably chose “A” one too many times.
According to CPAnet.com NASBA just released NJ (and a bunch of other states) today. So 24-48 hours from today?
AMay127 – did you JUST receive your score? were you checking all night too? I took mine on July 6 in MA and I've been checking all night – no score still
Anyone receive their FAR score from July (Massachusetts)?? I took it July 24th. I'm still waiting…trying to be patient but this false hope is pretty frustrating..
Ok, I commented earlier but I can't find where it posted so I will ask again. Has anyone received a BEC score from Oklahoma? CPANET.COM says OK BEC scores are still outstanding whatever the crap that means.
is anyone else having trouble posting a comment?
Do they post all of the scores for one state at a time? Since other people from Ohio have their scores and I don't does that mean that i'm in the 2nd wave or do they post scores throughout the night for one state? Anybody know this?
no i got nothing–i'm from PA, not sure in what order they release. I took mine JULY 2ND! grrr.
Failed FAR with a 74. Who's with me? I know you're out there! Come on, we're the lucky ones. While so many who have passed have posted their scores, think of what they'll be missing come September and October. Pensions, bonds, 141R, leases. WHOOO HOOO.
(Puke – just the thought of going through that crap again makes me want to VOMIT)
AMay127 – what time did you receive your score? were you checkign all night? I took FAR on 7/6 in MA and I've been checking all night – no score yet.
Why are my comments being deleted?
Not only does the OAB hate me, but so does another71 because it isn't letting me post comments!!!
MA FAR Out…86….wooohooo i got my score tonight…..i'm living it up….3 down 1 to go
Just received my FAR score in NJ, tested Aug 7th, thought I completely bombed it, lucky to get a 50 and got an 84, I cannot be happier, 1 more to go!!!
congrats!! when did you take FAR? I took it july 24th in MA still waiting on my score..
Took AUD July 13 and still waiting for scores. AICPA just released scores today. Waiting for NASBA now…
I'm taking it that California residents won't here about AUD score today since the CA Board of Accountancy is now closed every 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Friday of every month?
MASSACHUSETTS FAR PEOPLE – did you JUST receive your score now? were you checkign all night too, and it just popped up? i took mine on 7/6/09 and i've been checking all night – no score yet
Congrats! I'm in the same boat in MA…3 down and waiting for AUD (tested Aug 8th). You?
I give up. Others from Ohio have their FAR scores, not me. I guess i'll wait until mid-september.
When are NASBA states posting results? Saturday or Monday? Somebody please tell me…
Does, NASBA- California will release the AUD tomorrow or i have to wait until Monday?
i passed FAR! i can't believe it- i think i'm in shock. i've rechecked my score approximately 8 times to make sure it's real. 2 down, 2 to go.
wisconsin is like that… i got my NTS and scheduled while i was still in school. they won't release your score until your transcript is sent in though
I remember reading on Twitter (either NASBA or AICPA) that the cutoff for FAR and REG that was released was 8/7/09, so that's probably the case for Audit
It's always the 7th of the second month…always…
I read on Twitter (NASBA or AICPA) that the cutoff was 8/7 – for reg and far; audit probably the same.
I ran into a similar situation. Georgia would not release my scores online while I finished up my undergrad. They did send my scores through snail mail. So I would guess you find out your scores a week after everyone else (that's how long it took for me).
oops, sorry 2x, sorry first one didn't show up initially.
70 FAR ouch… next try october
It means that your state uses NASBA to handle everything (sending out the notice to schedule, registering for the exam, posting scores). If you have never heard of NASBA or never had to go to nasba.org to register for your exam and pay the exam fees there, then I'm guessing you are not in a NASBA state.
I received my FAR at around 9PM, somehow I got an 84. 3 down, 1 to go!! Hope I pass Reg on Friday…
What a relief? 91 on FAR…Done with two and BEC exam in a week. Congrats to everyone who passed!!!!
i passed FAR! i think i'm in shock. i've checked my score about 8 times to make sure it's real. 2 down, 2 to go.
Wow…I am so down right now, just got my FAR score and failed bad..I knew I had done bad in the sims but I felt really good on the MC…I have no idea how to improve my grade, I did study a lot and I am used Gleim.
Passed FAR in IN, 93!! Definitely unexpected.
How I did it: (maybe you'll find it helpful, maybe not). I took the Becker Fast Pass Course. I missed the first week of classes (the first 5 lectures) due to the birth of my daughter. I then showed up to class the next week for lectures 6-9. I worked through all the HW Q's each day, but not the Supplemental Q's. I then made up lectures 1-5 including doing all the HW Q's using self study. I kept track of my scores for every lecture on each topic (in a spreadsheet, yeah I know a huge nerd) and then honed in on those topics I did less than 80% on. I then reviewed for the next 11 days 6-8 hours a day (I was not working at the time). I went over the MC at least 3 times and the Supplemental Q's a few times. I then took the final exams they have in the Becker software. I got an 80% on the MC on the first one and was feeling good. The day before i sat for the exam I took the second final exam and scored a 64% on the MC and was freaking out. Obviously, Becker tests you much harder than the actual exam. And apparently the actual CPA Exam score is on a huge curve, so I strongly recommend Becker! Good luck to everyone on these brutal exams!
58 on FAR – I'm not suprised. I hadn't gone into anything so unprepared since…well, never. Anyway, anyone heard of a lower score? Still waiting on AUD which I took July 3rd. I studied for AUD, so I'm at least hopeful. I took FAR August 6th, so it's a bit odd to get that score first. I suppose welcome to the odd world of The AICPA. Well done to those who passed!
Has anyone seen NASBA release scores on a Saturday? As I don't want to be caught up between studying for FAR and refreshing NASBA page
…. if you know what I mean, ” F5 ” NASBA website to death.
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS to everyone whole got their FAR scores and passed.
I took my AUD july 1… so i have waited longer than you!! haha
Has anyone seen NASBA release scores on a Saturday? As I don't want to be caught up between studying for FAR and refreshing NASBA page
…. if you know what I mean, ” F5 ” NASBA website to death.
Thanks and congrats to you as well!!! Shocked i got my score…since I had a business combination question in one of my sims. I have REG on the 31st of August and this just gave me the motivation to cram hard for the next week. Good luck with audit…to bad it looks like you will have to wait until Sept for a score. This exam needs a reality check at all levels!!!
Anyone out there waiting for Colorado FAR score?
Congratulations… I am sure that you feel like you are preparing for a marathon, right? # down ! to go… congratulations!!! Just imagine that you've been crowned the champion of the half marathon… now go get the big one! All the best!!!
i have the same question!!! does nasba release scores on a saturday??? cant wait more!!!
Anyone in Arizona waiting for audit?
Waiting somewhat impatiently for my Colorado AUD score – it's my last one…
I am. No email yet.
Hi Jeff –
I took FAR in Michigan on July 23. 2 of my friends took it later than me and have their scores already. Mine still hasn't posted. Could I be one of these 500 or so that were released at the same time as AUD??? I'm going CRAZY!
I'm taking BEC (for the 3rd time) on Monday. Does anyone suggest the audio version of the Yaeger Cram?
hope nasba releases those aud scores tonight, i cant imagine waiting till monday
I'm STILL waiting for my FAR score in Michigan even though everyone else I know who took the test before or after me (July 23) got their scores last night. WHAT is going on? Could I be in the group of 500 or so FAR scores that got released with AUD? Or could I have one of the dreaded new simulations? If so, how long will that take? AAHHHHHH!
I am going to create another74.com…… I hate Financial
Has anyone received an AUD score from IL? According to the ILBOA, they should be posted.
WHy isn't this letting me post??
I took my test on July 27, and the sims did not feel like new ones (though they were both about the exact same topic… which is kind of bullsh*t. I have not received my score yet
i haven't, i dont know whether they'll post on sat.
Oh, of course it lets me post that!!
I found out last night that I passed FAR!!!! with an 80!! it truly is a miracle!
I am taking my final part today, BEC, in about 2 and a half hours. I sure hope i can wrap this thing up today!! Good luck to everyone!
Its been a long, hard year, but I am finally finished. Just got my FAR score and I am done-zo! On my way to a CPA! This has been a journey that has taught me a lot about myself, about my strengths, weaknesses, fears, and also taught me some great life lessons. It is such a relief once you find out you have passed all 4 sections.
Honestly, I could not have passed in my own strength. It is only through the grace and mercy of God, that I could get to this point. There is no way, in my human-ness, with my overall lack of desire to study, that I could find enough strength to hit the lectures, books, and flash cards on my own. It can only be through the devine grace from Jesus Christ and the loving support and prayers of my friends and family.
To those of you who have just started the journey, have experienced hardships along the way, or are waiting for the last score to come, please hang in there! Know that the reward in the end will be well worth the price of pain and suffering you may have or will experience to get there.
Good luck everyone!
Cheer up. I beat you. Try a 41 for FAR! You'll do better next time. I knew I wasn't prepared when I walk through the doors and obviously I'm not a good guesser either.
I'm waiting too. There are 3 other people in my office who took it in July and didn't get their scores yesterday. I have a feeling they updated the announcement before they posted grades. I have received a score on a Saturday before, so there is hope.
I didn't get mine either. I hope I am not in wave 2!
The memo link on the ILBOA home page says all 4 sections should be posted (memo dated yesterday). No score for me for audit. Guess I'm in the second wave unless they haven't really posted AUD
I think you will be able to see your Score tonight between 8 PM and Midnight.
im still waiting too. there is no way we all had new sims
i hope not. IL is non NASBA and has had a strong track record of posting grades around 8am the day after release
Thanks, I took my test on 7/9 and I thought it was possible that I had a new sim, but wasn't sure. Maybe the ILBOA will come through for us today.
Could you please ask your friend for a little more grace and mercy and release these freaking AUD scores? Thanks.
for audit scores for Florida too?
Anyone in MA still waiting for AUD??
Im at work right now, i just checked and saw “waiting for score” and just yelled out “ARRGGH!!! GIMMIE MY DAMN SCORE!”
needless to say, my co-workers now think im crazy.
Just wondering if there is anyone from MD who has received AUD score.
Sat on 7/13/09 and this is my last section.
Ya, I am. Still haven't recieved my score from AUD and I'm from mass……….this is torture
CA AUDIT is out!!!…Got an unexpected 87! 2 down.. 1/2 a CPA now haha!
Congrats! get those other 2 done so you can make the BIG bucks!
now would you kindly send your good juju my way.
Anyone hear anything about Florida AUD?
Passed FAR in IN, 93!! completely unexpected.
None of my comments stay posted and I can't seem to unsubscribe to the e-mails, slightly annoying.
I guess we are waiting until Monday for Audit results. Good Luck Everybody.
From IL and no aud yet.
Yep, CA AUD posted. 89. That'll do, AICPA. That'll do.
Anyone received their AUD scores in any other state?
Congrats to everyone that passed FAR. i wish i can say the same, 72. Any advice out there for restudying (how much more time, focus points), how soon to reschedule, anything at all. I really beat myself up over this one, part of my wishes I wasn't so close, but at least i know its possible. Thanks guys.
Great post! congrats!
FYI: I took AUD in CA on August 7th, and my score was posted this morning. I think that is the cutoff for Wave 1.
congrats on FAR!
What do you mean your comments don't stay posted?? I'm not deleting
anything..
Anyone had any luck yet with FAR scores in GA?
any1 in NY who took FAR August 1st or later receive their scores yet??
In KY waiting for AUD, does anyone know if the KY state board posts on weekends?
Anyone in GA receive FAR yet?
i just got my FAR score in CA. I passed.. 78
CA AUD scores are up on the website. Passed the last one! Good luck to everyone. Keep at it, if you hit a bump (I did), you will get there!
I'm also in MA waiting for AUD…. this sucks.. I have a wedding tonight… I want to celebrate not sulk… fingers crossed!!!
Any word on Florida AUD scores??
Jeff, do nasba states post on Saturdays??? If we are waiting for AUD is there a chance of tonight or should we just count on Monday
3morepoints, i am sorry to know abt the scores. I can realise how painful it must be to come so close. Please do not lose heart or your courage. Now that you have had the experience of giving FAR and studying it, you dont need to start from the scratch but need to strengthen whatever you have read. Read the textbook again maybe 2/3 readings. Sometimes, you may feel bored and sleepy..but still its worth it. Do the MCQ's till the point where you dont get 90% and above. Thats the thumbrule. This should suffice.
So is the consensus that even though AICPA released scores last night, NASBA wont' release scores until Monday night?
I want to know the same as well… like should I even bother checking score tonight…:-S
hey jeff. CA just released my FAR score today. I thought i was pushed to wave 2. Anyways i passed.

AUD is out in CA. I got an 88!! I am done! OMG! 4 for 4!
Good luck to everyone!
anyone in MN waiting for FAR?… do they release scores on weekends at all?
yay CA's AUD scores are out!!!!!!!!!!! I passedddddddddd 79! Can't believe my awesome luck. just passed reg with 78 earlier this week!! =D All first try!!
BEC- 81
AUD- 79
REG 78
now i just need a 80 for FAR to complete my chain of numbers heehee!! FAR on aug 31.. hopefully this cpa nightmare will end in a week for me!! good luck everyone!!
I had the same problem last night.
We have the same sequence of grades; interesting. I took FAR on July 11th and I'm still waiting on my score. I'm hoping that it might come in next week with those extra scores that were released with audit. Otherwise we will receive our scores at the same time in Aug. Good luck wih your last exam!!!
What’s going on here? NASBA has previously released BEC scores for me in SC on a Saturday, but I think it was first thing in the morning. Is there a chance AUD posts before Monday? Has anyone besides CA seen AUD scores? This guessing game is absurd. Why can?t they set a release date for all sections and stick to it? I would gladly concede a few days if I knew a concrete release date.
Did anyone from IL receivetheir audit score?
Good question…tonight would be a great opportunity for it to happen…
Do non-NASBA states usually release before NASBA states?
Jeff no Audit score for me yet in CA. I took the test July 1st and didn't think I had new sims..do they post scores in a certain order or would all scores be posted for CA and thus I am in Wave 2…..
Did anyone in IL receive their audit score yet?
Still waiting on AUD in VA.. while reviewing for Reg for a Wed. test. Here hoping taking notes on each MC I don't know will prove the 3rd times a charm
Hi Eunigirl, Congrats on passing AUD. i am taking AUD on Aug. 31. How much time did you spend preparing for AUD?
I twittered NASBA and they replied back 24-48 business hours, but that could just be the company line.
I'm still waiting in AZ.
Jeff,
I just check my audit score in CA and it's not posted yet. I took the test July 1…and was pretty sure I did not have a new sim. It seems like quite a few people in CA received their audit scores..Are scores released to everyone all at once or in bunches? Or do I have to face the fact that I could be in Wave 2……
I got my FAR score online last night (MN). I'm not sure if they release scores on the weekend… You might be in the 2nd wave, but I'd check again Monday.
Some do, some don't. NASBA is simply a central organization that works with a lot of the states (as an analogy in Ohio, it's kinda like CCA or RITA with city returns). The other states beat to their own drummer.
Has NASBA ever before posted on a weekend. I was under the impression last window that they do not.
took the FAR test on July 27th….didnt think I had a new sim but i might have as my scores havent come yet =((( anyone else in MA get their scores that took FAR around my date??
Anybody for MD got their score yet? Does MD post score on Saturdays? I feel like we might get our scores early morning Monday.
AUD out in CA finally; the wait is over. 4 for 4 and now am done.
Thanks to Jeff for running this great site; I have logged on everyday for the past 10 months and have found it to be a great resource for not only information but to also network with people who are also in the same boat I was.
Good luck to everybody who is still testing; do not give up and you will succeed!!.
I am
I know several MN people who received their scores last night, so I'm finally admitting that I'm in wave 2…
Any word on AUD OH scores coming out anytime today?
well of course that one posts, the 2 I posted yesterday I can't find. O-well, not a big deal.
Didn't someone say IL scores were supposed to come out early this morning? I really hope I'm not in Wave 2. That would mean finding out FAR, AUD, and BEC all one week before my NTS expires.
i received mine last night so i am guessing you are in wave 2
Anyone know if PA has posted FAR? There was 1 person on CPANET that says they got it but I would of thought more chatter if PA actually posted. I took FAR July 27th for the second time and needless to say after many, many years of foolish attempts at studying I finally have 3 down and just waiting on this grade to move on with life. Very, very, very frustrating NASBA/AICPA!!!
Does anyone know the total number of FAR grades posted, is the additional 500 new or is that the total and everyone is being defaulted to September due to new Simulations?
If anyone know's if PA is up, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it so I can stop this anxiety and move on to waiting until September.
Thanks to Jeff and all for the good info over the last year, keeps my hope alive!
I just barely passed auditing. Advisory scores don't change, right?
Since there were two releases from the AICPA on FAR scores, does that mean that the previous released scores are from the first release and that we should expect the additional 500 to be released tonight/monday? or did they release them all on the same night? Anyone know?
Congratulations!
Still waiting in Missouri
any news if AUD will be releasedtonite in NY?
I think the answer to everyone's questions is:
“We have no idea”
hmm i took AUD July 24 in CA and I my score isn't posted yet
any idea why?
ILLINOIS IS UP!!!!!
Passed with an 84!!! YES!
I took Audit on July 1 in CA and my score is not up eithier???????
Which part?
Yes, which part? AUD? Mine still says “waiting for score”…I will go nuts if I have to wait until Sept!!
Sorry, AUD.
in my excitement, i got carried away.
IL is not a NASBA state…don't get your hopes up. To see if your state is a NASBA state go to: http://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/NASBAWeb.nsf/FNAL… PAGE 7 ( I think)
It depends…CA/IL/VA/NH release before NASBA…the others are usually after
They release them all at once, although there's sometimes a small % of
stragglers that get released with other sections (more FAR got released with
AUD)…but I think Wave 1 is done…
That's accurate assuming they don't have computer issues…NASBA has been
doing a good job the past 2 windows of getting scores out fast….
(of course, you know who you can thank for the evening release vs early the
next morning, right?…ME)
IL AUD is up. 95!
B – 87
A – 95
R – 93
F – 8/31
well done…CONGRATS!
is IL a NASBA or AICPA state?
Has anyone in Oklahoma received a BEC score yet? I still haven't and I should have been in the first wave. And Jeff, my comments are not staying posted either!!
Nothing in KS so far for AUD.
CA AUD is posted!
AUD Advisory Score: 83 – Attended: 07/31/2009 11:33:00
Thanks everyone, especially JEFF! It's been wonderful! (=
IL and CA are not NASBA states. To see NASBA states, check out PAGE 7 here: http://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/NASBAWeb.nsf/FNAL…
Illinois is up, 77, ugly pass
Boo, IL hasn't posted mine. I really hope I'm not in Wave 2. I took this test July 6th and it is hopefully my last one.
According to CPA Net Forum, a bunch of NASBA states just released the scores on yesterday. So does this mean that those states could receive scores 24-48 hours later (tonight or Monday night)? Or has their been confirmation that all NASBA states should have already received scores?
IL isn't a NASBA state. NASBA states haven't posted AUD yet. It probably will either be tonight at 9pm or Monday.
Anyone from WI get FAR scores yet? Been checking for scores the past few days with no luck. Thanks!
Hey, a pass is a pass. If I get a 75 on AUD I will be over the moon…..
Does anybody know if MD posts scores on a Saturday? or should I expect Monday morning?
Jeff,
I believe it would be a great tool to have a list of AICPA & NASBA states posted on this website.
Hi Jeff and All CA friends,
I took my audit on 7/21. I didn't receive my audit score. This is my last part. Here is the website that I checked my score: https://www.cba.ca.gov/cbt_private/status_info. Did you guys find your passing scores from this website or you have another source to find your audit score?
Would you please let me know? I really appreciate it. I took audit once before and they pushed my results to the 2nd wave. I waited for like three months. It really sucks if this happenes to me again…Thanks.
congrats Taney!!!
I keep trying to post, but for some reason they are not showing up.
I found out last night that I passed FAR in OH with an 80!!! I truly can't believe it!!
I just got home from taking my last section- BEC. I did a lot of praying beforehand, so hopefully I will pass and be done. Good luck to everyone out there!!
same here, I took mine 7/24. Its gonna suck if we got pushed into the second wave….
k…will do…I'll have it in place for Wave 2 in a few weeks. Thanks for
the suggestion!
Where the h is why Audit score!!!
I don't think that I have new sims. Why do they do this to us? I hate it!!!!!!
F*** YES. 92 CA AUD. Whats up
Why does my messages not show
AICPA released scores to NASBA. NASBA released FAR but no sign of Audit yet
Has anyone in WI received any scores yet?
Jeff, my comments keep getting deleted. When I submit, they post; however, when I refresh they are no longer posted. Not saying you are deleting but do you have an idea why this is happening?
Same boat here …Took audit on 7-1-09 and no results CA….
CA FAR was released on Thursday. I didnt get my scores on thursday but got it this morning.
hi
If you comments are not showing up – I have no idea why…I certainly am not deleting them. If you're replying via e-mail to the comments – THAT could be the problem, as that service has been glitchy this week….
Hi Does anybody know if MD board releases scores on a Saturday. I am waiting on my audit score. Should I expect it Monday morning?
Jeff, how to delete my own post on our website?
Just got my IL AUD score. Got a 99!!! Not bad for a 60 year old guy (that;s right, 60!!) taking the exam for the first time. Got a 87 on BEC. Still got to take REG and FAR.
Jeff, how to delete my own post on your website?
a 99 means you essentially aced the exam.
wow, congratulations!! what a great accomplishment
mine aren't showing up either, Jeff…let's see if this test works.
Holy sh*t. Yeah, that's 24 points higher than I hope my test turns out. Congrats though, that's amazing.
ya i got my aud score from that CA website this morning! you have to scroll down to the very bottom to see your score. (the score won't appear “Credit” on top until like 2 weeks later)
If at bottom it still says that your score is pending… then I guess you are in wave 2
Hello everyone. Has anyone received AUD in GA?!!!
I took Aud on July 6th in CA. I've been anxiously waiting. I still have not recieved my score. Do i have to wait another month? If so that really sucks.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm testing in Georgia (NASBA). No score yet :-
Hey Jeff,
Do you think it is still possible for me to get my CA FAR score in the first wave? I took my test on 7/25. I am dying here. Third time the charm?!
Nov 08: 71
May 09: 73
July 09:???????????????
I'm waiting on AUD in GA too… no score so far
NASBA released FAR scores..they received Audit scores and additional FAR scores..
I hope they do a Saturday release, however knowing New York State – maybe not.
Jeff,
When will NASBA release the scores???
Yes but they didn't release all NASBA states on the same day…
74 for my second chance at FAR. ARGGGHGHHHHHH!
Good news – my score went up by 5 points from the last time with the help of YAEGER! (they're awesome) Bad news – I have to take the %$%^&*& Beast AGAIN. Who's with me in October? We're the lucky the ones
Cindy Simpson was right – I probably chose “A” one too many times
Does anyone know when WI is going to release scores?? Some CSR from NASBA said the WI coordinator was on vacation, does that mean they are going to be delayed until the coordinator returns?!?
anybody in MO got AUD scores yet?
im with ya in october, attempt 2… how are you going to approach FARE this time around. I am looking for advice.
Has anyone from SC received their FAR score yet?
Wow you don't have FAR yet in SC? I wonder if that hurts my chances for AUD tonight in SC? Any thoughts?
Does anyone know if I should give up hope of getting my score for auditing in the first waive. I took it on July 6th. I have no idea if i took a new simulation. I really believe that if you take it in early july, you should be guarenteed first waive. Seven weeks is already unbearable. Three months is absolutely insane!!!
anyone else still waiting on CA FAR?
Hey everyone, random question. When checking your score on the NASBA site is it typical that they only give you a score? The only thing that showed up was the number/ score I got (87 on FAR woohoo…but it was very anti-climatic. I would have liked it to say pass or something at least…LOL).
Also, I wanted to take a look at my diagnostic score thing (mainly because I'm taking Audit on Friday and wanted to see how I did on the sims/ multiple choice). Anyway, this was my first test so I'm new with all of this stuff.
Thanks and congrats to everyone that has passed (and to all that didn't get good news, keep your heads up!!)
Passed AUD in CA! 88! I took it on 7/14.
Typical…very anti-climatic, unfortunately
when did you find out your score?
Did any receive AUD score for NH?
I passed FAR, which was my lasy section !!!
hi guys. for months I have been reading posts about ppl who were so thrilled that they passed the last section of the exam. I was dreaming of the day that I too would be able to take a breath of relief and say “I AM DONE !!!” . quite honestly, I thought I'd fail as the MCQs and similuations were soo freaking difficult. But I ended up with 81, only god know how on earth I got 81 when I was so sure that I'd fail. Infact i only had 40 mintues when I started with the sims. and infact, i had to leave a couple of tabs and even the essay in the last sim as I ran out of time… I am just very gald that I passed. This web site has been of great help and keeping track of release dates and sharing the pain of these exams with others. Good luck to all of you that are on their way to a CPA too… you do not need brains to pass the CPA, you just need discipline… my advice, just focus on the homework questions of Becker, they are the best and if you can answer all of them right, you are sure to pass… This worked for me… feel free to email me if you need suggestions. I am more than glad to help… dinesh.ganglani@gmail.com
Anyone receive FAR scores in NJ?
still waiting on CA AUD….getting worried I will have to wait another month now…..
Once AICPA releases, what's the delay?? Hasn't everything been checked, validated, etc. which is why it takes so long in the first place? Isn't everything transmitted electronically?? It's 2009!
The AICPA grades the scores then transfers them to NASBA. NASBA matches the graded scores to the actual person who took the exam (the AICPA does not receive names). NASBA may or may not do this electronically, it's a good question. Regardless, 2 months+ is a bit ridiculous to get scores out..
You only get the diagnostics if you failed. So you may not really want it.
Good point. Thanks…still frustrating
I'm with ya in Oct. It will be my 4th! Yikes! time at FAR.. 61 (didnt study right), 73 (Studied hard), 69 (Just study a bit more and you'll get those extra 2 pts right!?). I do have REG and BEC under my belt and with my new method of studying Im hoping to have AUD wrapped up next week too. Just hope I can finally tackle FAR in Oct once and for all.
According to CPAnet Forum. Some people in GA have recieved their FAR scores. Can anyone confirm this? I took my exam on July 2nd and really hope I dont have to wait until September to find out.
So you don't get a score report in the mail if you passed?? Only if you failed?
agreed, “tired of waiting on audit”, i'm also tired of waiting on audit! ughh. been checking constantly.
My friend and I both received our GA FAR scores last night. Pass. 1/4 down.
at least for California, you get a score report if you pass. Its posted to our state board website. Thankfully I know from experience
It depends on your state board – some states will include the diagnostic report with your mailed passing score; however, most states only provide the diagnostic report information if you fail.
Anyone waiting on FAR in NJ?
I'm in the same boat..and I took the test on July 1st..Horrible…..
Well look who joined the party…
Yea, GA FAR scores are up on NASBA. Now just waiting on AUD. AHH!!!
I hear that…this is excruciating. My day has consisted of eating lunch and waiting for my AUD score. Not cool.
depends on state to state. Some states send the score reports by mail only if you have failed. Some send in both the pass and fail cases !
Sorry, i posted this earlier in the wrong part:
I'm in IL and I havent gotten my score online yet (audit, july 31st), but i see that everyone else has. I heard that there are 2 reasons why a test score is not released in the 1st window-
1. there was a new sim that was not previously tested
2. the score is very close so they grade it 2x/ include it with the entire wave 1 and 2 scores.
I remember hearing that it was maybe a 73-76 or something like that. Does anyone know the score range that will put your test into the 2nd window? I was gonna take reg in a week, but if i wasnt ready for audit, i sure as heck am not ready for reg, so i might as well reschedule and plan to take both next window. Any suggestions?
My prediction is that NASBA will post in AUD in approx 47 min. 9pm CST seemed to be the golden hour this week for other sections. If not, then tomorrow is going to be a loooong day….
I haven't gotten mine yet… in the same boat as you…. (this is painful). Think we're in Wave 2? My luck, they'll create a Wave 3 just to put me in it….
nasba said it's 24-48 business hours, so we may not get them til monday. i'll be checking at 9pm, also but i don't have my hopes up. good luck!
I sure hope your right!
NY has never issued scores on a Saturday so I am assuming Monday
Jeff, any hopes of audit today at 9 PM EDT?
I think BEC and REG posted at 8pm CST…right?
9pm *EDT*
I think so, I know one of them was posted 8pm CST on Wednesday on NASBA
I am from IL and I did receive my AUD score already. I have never heard of them holding onto a score if it was on the borderline. It would be safe to assume that you had a new sim. But, I am in no way an expert.
If I were you I would cram as much as I could for REG and forget about AUD for now. I walked into REG hoping for a miracle. After the exam, I knew I failed. I thought there was no way I passed. I left half a sim blank, but I passed with an 83. Might as well give it a shot rather than keep pushing it back. But, if you really don't feel prepared enough, it might be worth the money to push it back. Only you can decide that.
Best of luck!
I havent found anyone in NJ who has received a FAR score… so maybe we will have some luck on Monday? I sure hope so. Good luck!
I had my REG score around 8:40 EST, so maybe a hair earlier.
Does anyone have a definitive answer about whether or not NY or any of the NASBA states has any chance of releasing scores tonight? Its ridiculous that not a single CPA forum has anyone with any connections that can get a straight answer on this.
I also was able to get my REG score on Tuesday in NY at 8:30 EST
There were some NJ people that received their score already… I saw some posts about it earlier today…. sadly. I'll see if I can find them… haha…. a couple of hours is like 20 pages on here though…
dont know…anxious to see…it would be the first time…
Jeff,
I got REG in NY at 8:30, so that would be 7:30 CST, can't say how long it was up there though before I checked….but it was def there before 8 CST.
Well, NASBAs one organization, so if NY is released, I'd think all NASBA states get released.
Yeah… the current pages 9 & 11 have posts from people in NJ who got their FAR scores & they both passed. (ahhh)
yay audit out in ca and i passed. whhheeeee! only far left and i am taking it this friday :-/ i think i will take a study break to make a bonfire out of my aud book/notes.
I could be mean and scream AUD OUT IN OHIO I GOT 99 WOO!
But that'd be a lie, and if NASBA is going to release scores, I don't want to crash their site.
THAT MEANS THE SCORE ISN'T OUT YET.
Got my Aud score today. I am in IL
just wondering if anyone in MD received AUD scores yet. It is my last part and I am dying to know.
Urgent!!! NEED HELP!!!
I posted twice on this website this morning! Weird thing happened to my personal email box. My email box receives EVERY SINGLE POST on this website every since then. I have to constantly delete them from my peronal email box. Does anyone here knows what happened?
Jeff, please help!!!
i dont think audit is coming out today
Hi Jeff,
Do you think there is still hope for CA FAR score to come out for first wave?
Anyone from NY get their AUD? I didn't get mine yet, maybe I'm in wave 2.
The default option is to “subscribe” to this blog thread when you post on it. There's an option somewhere to unsubscribe – search around.
I dont think so either…. I'll stick with my day job of studying for FIN. Hopefully the outcome of that will be better than my “predictions”.
not yet… i'm thinking monday or later on this evening…
This should work:
Make sure you're logged in.
Click: the face next to your username on your post –> View Full Profile –> Account (top right) –> Notifications –> Uncheck any/all boxes (whatever you want).
9:05pm EST – No AUD in SC… anyone else? This is insane…
Its not comming out today… enjoy for next 48 hours….
thats my feeling, tonight or Monday because they may not release scores on weekends.
yep, go out and get drunk. check in the morning
9:08 nothing in NY, sucks.
I hit the Submit button 25 times easy. Scores are not out. This is ridiculous. I'm going to sleep.
drink but don't drive… good luck everyone!
no score for MA AUD, exam taken on 7/11
C'mon NJ! I just want my score already. Is that too much to ask? At least the AICPA finally released the scores.
No scores are coming out tonight for NASBA states. Please check back Monday.
that's not nice NASBA
Can you tell us approx what time on Monday to expect them – at least morning or afternoon???
Jeff, FYI, disqus started going chinese on me…. 4 ? ago.. – thanks for a great website..
Did anyone get scores for FAR in FL?
waiting
when did you take the test?
i'm also waiting for NY AUD
Waiting on AUD in NJ. I am definitely disappointed but not surprised. In this past year that I've been sitting for the exam, I have never received a score the same day as IL. It's always been the next day.
NASBA only releases at 9PM EST if all goes well give or take 30 minutes.
This post will probably be deleted, but oh well. I think anybody frustrated with NASBA's score release procedures should email cpaexam@nasba.org and let them know how you feel. Sort of like emailing your senator or congressman.
I guess MA NASBA doesn't want me to know my AUD score before I take my REG exam on Monday
…..
NASBA has always made it clear that they release within 24-48 “business” hours (1-2 business days) from when they get scores. It's only been 8 business hours (Friday around 4 PM EDT it was released). They've not done anything wrong here.
It sucks. I'm waiting on my AUD score (Ohio). But whining and complaining about it does absolutely nothing but make you go batty. You've got at least two days to wait till the score. Just relax, sit back, worry about what you CAN control (your next exam, whatever else you're doing if this is your last), and enjoy life. It's too short to be this worried about a test score.
No one here is stupid. We'll all pass, even if it takes a few shots. These two days won't ruin your life.
why would it get deleted Mark
I agree it is too frustrating, it would have been nice to hear from the horse's mouth on Friday that the scores for sure would not be released tonight… at least we wouldn't have spent all day hoping, wondering, obsessing…
Took FAR- the exam was definately the hardest. Not sure if I passed as it doesn't seem like testlets got harder as they progressed. Sims were definately in left field. Anyone else take FAR recently?
I took at end of July. Although I cud be in wave 2, so who knows if we'll even get our scores Monday anyway.
I'm still waiting on SC FAR
Wouldnt you figure – Uniform CPA requirements = Uniform CPA exam = Uniform Release
You know I always say take as long as you may just so long as you let me pass
I bet ya'll folks gonna be in wave 2 or next week you will see scores
typically ain't till bout 23rd or so is normal for wave twoers
I got my score in Texas in 2weeks took 8/5 got score in 8/19 or REG you win some and you lose some just move on and quit harping on this so much; I want to discuss FAR now but aint no sense in it b/c all you folks care about is ya'lls grade dag nabit
I took REG today. MQ okay…Simulations were tough. But I made a good attempt at everything and wasn't pressed for time. But I will say I did Becker and I don't think I could have been any more prepared. (Well I could have paid attention more in Tax I 3 yrs ago.)
FAR – 88
Aud – ?? (waiting)
Reg – ??
Yes, got my FAR score in FL last night around 9 PM EST
Hey I took far on august 5 and really thought i failed, did not have time to finish and left out most of the 2nd sim and i thought the sims were really hard… and i just checked my score and got a 95! so you really never know. most important things of sims are the memos which i was able to do on both so if you felt ok about those and not bad about the mc's, you definitely have a good shot
I took FAR last testing window, but I thought the same thing; my testlets were all comparable. But then when I started looking a few questions up, I realized some of the theory questions in the second and third testlets were picky details. Some sometimes and increase in difficulty can be qualitative as opposed to quantitative. Also, what is easy for one person may be hard for another. Try not to worry about it…I'm sure you did great
Why does WI have to be so stupid and wait forever to release their scores! Anybody know what's going on?!?!
I took my BEC test August 3rd so I was in wave 1. I am in Oklahoma and STILL don't have my grade. Anyone else from OK having this problem too??
I heard zilch on Friday…my contact must have been out of the office…I
didn't think they would come out tonight, but if there was ever an ideal
Saturday for them to be released, this was it. From now on – until I see
otherwise, I will always say “no” to “is there a Saturday release??”
Sorry for the misery everyone.
I took AUD the first week of July in Arkansas, and I still haven't seen/heard a thing. Also, we don't even have the capability to check our scores online. UGH!
Any word on Audit scores in TX? I took it right on the border, August 7, so I'm not sure if I'll be considered the first wqave or 2nd. Any thoughts?
Anyone know what the Elijah Watt Sells award scores usually are? I've heard some really high scores on here and was just curious
I know a couple from this past year were 390 cummulative
I checked TSBPA, it is updating, can't asign in hope AUD will be in soon!!!!!
TX website is updating , let's hope AUD scorres will be in soon
Jeff, I commented twice, but I can't see my comment, the (newest ) last one I see is the 12:37 a.m. comment by ilcpacan. I am positive there is some that are not downloading. Thanks for all your efforet and support!!
Somebody else mentioned in previous posts that WI waits until they have all 4 scores before releasing any of them. I know, it sucks
Once people actually start getting their auditing scores, I bet it will take a couple more days for us to get all of our scores.
I had a dream last night that I passed though, so hopefully it comes true!!!
I'm new at this, took my 1st FAR on jul/14, but I'm not sure if my score will show up on the NASBA page, since I'm from Puerto Rico. It always says SCORE NOT FOUND. If anyone recieved FAR scores in PR, let me know!
No reason for you to apologize! If it weren't for your site, no one would have a clue as to what was happening with the scoring process. Thanks for all you do!
anyone received AUD scores in Texas yet?
Puerto Rico scores will show up on NASBA. Good luck!
I took audit 8/7. My score showed up in IL yesterday. It will depend on whether you got a new sim
stillllllllll waiting in PA.
Yeah,
It is difficult to find information, but I have seen scores like 99,99,99,95 and the like. I assume 390 is ballpark.
I saw somewhere that you can expect to need about 385 cumulative, but I'm now sure how reliable this is. I know a guy who got it with 99, 99, 98, 93, as I remember.
Anyone get their FAR scores in NY??
nothing yet, hopefully tomorrow morning?
So, are we thinking first thing Monday AM or 9 PM EST? I'm in SC. Are scores ever released Monday AM?
I am in SC too… I dont think the scores will be released by tommorrow morning, but deffinetly by 9 PM EST.
Yeah, I got my FAR score in NY, you must be in the 2nd wave, sorry
For those of us who greatly appreciate this forum and take for granted the lengths Jeff (the creator and care taker of another71) goes to keep everyone informed, I recommend looking to the column on the right and clicking on the “Donate” tab. Give a dollar or two and buy Jeff and beer or a coffee. He earned it.
Jeff, how do you know if scores are in the hands of the aicpa for non-nasba states? Just trying to approximate when I might get my score in the mail. The lag time in the past has been 7 days from the time that my fellow sufferers on this board begin announcing their scores but it's so unpredictable/sporadic now that I don't have a clue as to how to even render a wild guess. Any advice? Thx, JJ
To clarify, I am asking for non-NASBA, state-specific release date info, not the general “scores have been released” statement.
I agree. I participate in the “Elliot Children College Fund” by being a member of Club 75.
JJ – every state has the scores…the AICPA releases them en mass…it's up to the states to get them out either via NASBA like most states, or independently like CA, TX, etc. The AICPA basically just releases them all at the same time.
Thanks Num83ers
Jeff, I have looked far and wide, and cannot seem to learn if NASBA ever releases on Sunday. Could you enlighten? Also, I saw comment that WI NASBA Coordinator is or was on vacation. Would a coordinator's vacation schedule impact when scores are released for a particular state?
Nope – not going to happen, I'm convinced. No weekend releases until I see
otherwise…fool me once…
Also – a coordinator's vacation has no impact whatsoever on your score
release.
Good luck! – hope you're Wave 1!
Jeff
So the 500 FAR scores that were released on Friday, could they possibly be available Monday or Tuesday or were they already received?
My impression is that they have not been received yet…Monday night
Congrats to everyone who passed audit!!!!… I take audit on Wed. I am through the lectures and ran through the MC once and scored pretty well. I was wondering if anyone has any tips as to what to really concentrate on in my last hours on studying for AUDIT. Any tips would be appreciated!!!… i really don't want to take this one again.
Know what goes in the reports, when you need an explanatory paragraph, differences in GAAP and GAAS limitations. Internal control, audit documentation and audit evidence.
Other types of communication requirements (engagement letters, SAS 112, and 115 commnication letters).
Good luck on Wednesday.
I agree, MEMORIZE what is in the reports and the differences between them (compilation vs. review ) and the placement of certain terms within the report (intro, scope, opinion). Understand the conclusions expressed in attestation (examination, review, a.u.p, comfort letters) and the type/level of assurance they provide. Finally, a good understanding of the audit risk model and what affects it as well as the segregation of duties to different business processes.
Wow, almost sounds like the whole book. lol…By merely understanding the audit risk model (how sample size affects detection risk, timing etc.) you can easily work your way through most problems relating to that topic.
Thanks Jeff, you answered my question. I very much appreciate your help.
Make sure you understand Substantive test, Test of details and Alternative Procedures. Also don't forget Quality Control and Predecessor Auditor. Understand the content of the following: Letter of Audit Inquiry, Management Representation Letter, Engagement Letter and communication with the Audit Committee. Good luck!
As far as an final time left, I'd go back of the report module because there's no chance of reasoning through the questions and making an educated guess as with say evidence or internal control. You either know what's in the reports or you don't, and it's a big area tested.
*any
Hey Jeff,
Any chance of the 500 FAR scores released on I think Friday to be posted tomorrow night….I didnt believe I had a new sim to put me in Wave 2 but who knows at this point as I haven’t received my score in MA…
Hey Everyone –
If scores for MA regarding audit have not been released yet, should I expect that they would be released (hopefully) Monday after 9pm? Or would they get released during the day? I've read some simliar posts below but don't seem to follow a straight answer.
Thanks!
OK, so I take FAR on the 31st. Here's where I am. Been through the whole book (Becker) w/ Lectures. Typed notes on all 9 chapters, and re-typed the flashcards. I am in the process of reworking the homework (through chapter 6 as of tonight). What I want to know is how should I approach this next week? Aside from going through the rest of the homework for the second time, what's the best way to approach studying for the Sims? I've heard more than one person say that they weren't anything like Becker. Should I waste my time?
If you are in WI, don't even bother checking for scores for like another week… you're just wasting your time
I took AUD 7/1 (still waiting for my score), but I can say that I didn't feel prepared for all the internal control questions. Everyone told me to memorize the reports and the types of opinions and I didn't have a single question that required me to know either.
Historically they load the scores between 9 and 11pm.
If MA is a NASBA state, then 9pm EDT only….that's when they run the batch process.
I wouldn't waste your time with the sims, my simulations were nothing like anything I saw in Becker. What I did my final days before the exam was take the 2 practice exams and progress tests to see what areas I needed the most work on and focused on those areas. It must have helped, I just found out I got an 88!
any word on AUD in TX?
please edit…exam disclosure
Looks like AUD will come out Monday night. I can't wait: If I have to hear “well gang, I hope you did gangbusters on those last mulitple choice questions,” I'm going to apply for med school.
Trivia: Name that instructor??
Tim Gearty – what do I win???
Tim Gearty?!
You win a pink dress… JK
You don't win anything, but you are “now on your way to a C. P. A..”
Tim Gearty
This trivia is kind of fun….
Question #2. What is Peter's claim to fame?
I'll take a pink dress.
not sure! but doesn't he also have a law degree?
It looks like you need a hint…
It has to do with his highschool footballs days….
his highschool football championship?
didn't he grow up or live in same neighborhood as puff daddy? or am i making this up?
he's jersey right, i know it has something to do with a famous person, besides himself, growing up in his neighborhood
Bingo Blamo!
Excellent job hopingfora75!
Maybe the rest of you should apply yourselves. You never know what will be on the exam.
I also would have accepted:
Peter is also a closet homosexual
Question #3
How many lame jokes on on lecture #1 of REG?
lol ughh i've repressed that. sorry can't answer that one.
hahaha awww i love him….he's what go me through alot of it…tim's a little dry. even my nursing major ex-roommate loved PETER!
Classic!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
he played football against DIDDY in NYC!
The correct answer is zero. The examiners were tyring to trick you on this one. Jokes are generally lame when told by Peter, but the exception to the rule is when they are told by Tim in which case they are not even considered jokes.
And for the showcase showdown…
Question #4: What is Peter's son's name?
I'm deleting this entire thread of conversation…it was fine until someone said something that could get ME in trouble. 2 strikes and you're out. Thank you.
Is there any chance I will be in Wave 1, if I took Audit on August 12th.
no…August 7 is cutoff…
Hey Jeff,
Im up here in MA, took the FAR exam on July 27th….didnt think I had a new simulation but who knows at this point as I havent received my score…is getting a score tomorrow night my last chance of hope?
I would say so…if you are one of the 500
Jeff… just out of curiosity….when do you sleep????? I log in several times a day and it seems you're always responding to a post and keeping track of all activity! Thank you for all you do… its so nice to have a little world (or a link on my “favorites” list) where I feel like I'm not completely crazy over this whole CPA exam thing… because in my world, noone understands so its wonderful to have this site to help me realize there are people just as crazy as me.
Same here, I took FAR July 24th and assumed I didn't have a new simulation…still no score. Hopefully tomorrow is our chance.
haha…excellent question. I took a 30 minute nap today…I should be good
to go
nothing yet for me…
Anyone see AUD come up in TX this morning?
no… i don't know what's going on. the website isn't even working for me. anyone getting similar results?
its back up now. but no score for me yet. anyone have theirs?
nope – no scores… and does TX only update at 3:14am everyday? so we'll have to wait till tomorrow morning then…
I also recommend taking the practice exams. It is really helpful to practice timing the exam so you don't either run out of time or rush through sections and end up with a lot of extra time. I passed FAR using only Becker and in the final week I focused mostly on taking the progress test (which use the homework questions but give you a different sampling of questions each time) and the simulated exam. As for the Sims, the ones on my exam were similar to what Becker had. Obviously, they were somewhat different but I thought the practice with Becker sims was helpful.
This is such a stupid process.
Does TX update at any other time besides 3am?
Nope! In fact, the site stays down until 4am-ish. I've lost a lot of sleep because of the TX site.
AUD out in VA, Sweet Jesus 75!
Yes! Virginia scores were posted promptly at 9:00 a.m. Passed with an 84! I can't believe it! I am completely DDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!! Passed all sections the first time. Thank you Team Yaeger!
Jeff ,
When can i expect CO aud score. I took on july 2
This is approximately the 20th time I've asked this question and gotten no answers… HAS ANYONE RECEIVED A BEC SCORE FROM OKLAHOMA??? I took the test Aug. 3rd. The OAB has been no help in answering questions.
Does anyone know what time NY may post the scores?
wait till 9am – 11am, i have seen all my result posted between these hours. i think they only update once a day. what section you are waiting for?
BEC. It should have been out 2 Fridays ago if it was consistent with my other score releases. FAR has already been released for OK. That score was posted the day following the AICPA release.
NASBA releases at 9pm EDT now…their batch process starts at 8pm and scores come out at 9pm.
any updates for NH AUD scores?
I haven't checked my score since Friday and it hasn't been up, suddenly it appeared this morning….82 for FAR in GA! So great. I failed the first time with a 69 and redid Becker. I passed the others on the first time with Becker. I thought it was much harder the second time, but I guess I knew my stuff. I'm surprised that it is out since I know that I got a new sim (the new material). Just glad to be finally done! Good luck all.
is it normal to be excited to want to get into the testing room and take AUD. I haven't been more confident to sit than ever before.
Has anyone received their AUD score in Arizona yet?
Thanks!
just received MD audit score
Maryland audit scores just got released, goooood luck everyone!!!
Has anyone out there received FAR for Colorado????
just got my FAR score and failed badly…score in the 50s…I'm really down on myself right now as I studied 3 full months and felt prepared. I was able to finish the whole exam…this was my first time taking a CPA exam..I'm hopeful to get my confidence back…right it just stinks.
You got no response, because people probably didn't have a response. Chill out. Your score is probably one of those rare ones that Jeff mentions gets bumped to wave 2.
Has anyone in Texas received their FAR score yet?
Has anyone heard anything about REG from NC? I emailed Phyllis over there and this the response I got, “I don't know when we will received them to be mailed”. If the AICPA released them a week and a half ago wouldn't the board have received them by now? This state is the worst.
Has anyone heard anything about when AUD scores will be released in Pennsylvania? I took the exam July 2 and have been paitiently waiting.
Stick with it! When you do MC, don't just know what the right answer is; be able to explain why it's the right answer. That's what helped me at least. (So far I've passed BEC and FAR, waiting on AUD and take REG Saturday)
Just hang in there, i myselt been thru many rough patches but remember you are doing this for yourself not for anybody else, you will get the rewards in the end once you finish it all, just think about changing your study pattern. Keep it up
I haven't yet. I took it on July llth.
Did you actually receive your score?
I took AUD on July 1 in PA, and I've been patiently waiting, too!
Any word on AUD scores in MA?
No. I am waiting and checking constantly. I called the Arizona State Board and they said they would email them out “immediately” as soon as they got them…so maybe today.
thanks a lot for the advice guys…I really appreciate it.
If people have received scores for AUD in MD, and I have not, does that mean I am in wave 2 or is there still a chance I could receive my scores soon?
Took AUD Exam August 8th. Will results for my exam definately be in wave2 or is there a chance i get them tonight? Thanks.
nope…cutoff is August 7th.
There's a chance, apparently, but I'd not be too surprised if you didn't get a score here.
if they come out today it will not be until 9pm……….so we'll see then
CO FAR i received on Friday night…
I haven't either…took it Aug. 6. I've seen 1 post on here from someone in TX saying they got their score. I know 2 other people who took FAR in TX and neither of them have received scores either. Anyone else???
Anyone recieved a FARE score in MO yet??
hey, took reg back in april (in MD) and when people from MD started reported their scores came in, i received nothing so just assumed i was in wave 2…..but then ended up getting my score the next day, so theres still a chance you were in this wave
I took FAR on July 1 and received my score on Friday.
NC just mailed REG !
yeah a little after 10 am i got an email and the score was immediately available online. a friend of mine was in the same siutation, so you might be in wave2
Thanks, I guess it's Wave 2 for me. Hopefully I can now refrain from checking every hour, lol!
Hello if anybody is interested on selling their used study materials for FAR, please let me know, I am on a budget and just cant afford to buy any new stuff.
I took FAR in July and I got my score friday, I also know of at least 2 other people who received their scores as well.
has anybody from OK received their FAR scores yet. PLEASE RESPOND ANYONE ANYONE….HELLO…
I apologize in advance if I am not supposed to write something like this on this website…
My friend has received her Oklahoma FAR score. She tested on July 13th, I think.
Is there a link from nasba or whoever that shows what the official wave dates are?
What is going on with CA? I took AUD July 13th and still no score? Anybody else get their AUD score in CA yet?
I took mine August 7th. I wonder if that has something to do with it. I can't remember if I had a new simulation though…
Please God let NASBA AUDIT be released tonight!
How would you know if you had a new sim?
I don't know how much you are wanting to spend; however I was on a budget as well and I used Gleim for each one of my test which cost $93 for the book and cd for each section, the cd has over 2,000 practice questions. I believe both are important because the book doesn't give you enough practice problems.
Thank you very much. It is my last part and I have become a little obsessed.
Have a good day.
I am praying the same – and I am adding, God, please let me have passed!
I was just looking into Gleim…did you feel prepare enough with the book and cd. or do you think audio, video, flashcards, etc is also needed??? thanks.
I want my Audit score back, but not if I failed.
I second this motion!!! I took this section July 29th – but it is (hopefully) my last section.
I never felt prepared enough; however I passed BEC, AUD, and REG on the first try. I took FAR in July and I am still waiting on the results. I think the thing that helped me the most is working as many multiple chose as possible. For example, FAR had around 2500 MC, before it was over there was about 200 that I never answered correctly. I made my on flash cards after each chapter for things I thought was important and for any multiple choice I consistently had trouble with.
Is there a link from nasba or whoever that shows what the official wave dates are (wave 1 vs wave2)?
I'm in CA and someone I know got the'r AUD already (think he took it on 7/1)
oh wait, it was REG. sorry! good luck!
I took my AUD exam on August 8th. Do you think my score might make it into wave 1?
I took the AUD on July 27th. But I haven't gotten the result yet.
Does anybody get the AUD result who took the simliar time period?
Anyboday received the Audit score in New Jersey? Thx
No the cutoff date was August 7. Sorry
I took Audit on July 11th in CA and still no score. Hopefully by tonight I will receive a passing score.
My turn for the notorious “Has anyone…?” question.
Has anyone, FROM A NON-NASBA STATE, received your Wave 1 AUDIT score in the mail?
Thanks!
it's doubtful, unfortunately
does anyone know when NY is supposed to release FAR scores? i have been waiting since last friday.
I am taking Reg in one week and was wondering if i need to memorize all of the dollar value limits for the tax rules. Also anyone have advice on what I should really focus on? I heard I should memorize tax forms because weird ones appear on Sims.
I'm going to go ahead and write my thank you Jeff email ahead of Audit NASBA release tonight. Jeff thanks for the fantastic site and all of the updates. If I pass audit tonight I'll never use this site again….but it was priceless while taking the exam (been at least 1.5 years). Hopefully I'll have passed them all by 9pm tonight!
BEC (68, 76)
REG (68, 71, 79)
FAR (71, 83)
AUD (70, ???)
audit scores for virginia were up this morning, fyi
Aaron, just wondering: I see that your FAR scores jumped from a 71 to an 83. Did you do something drastically different for the second sitting or not really? Just curious cuz I'm in the same boat. Thanks.
I wouldn't bother learning exact dollar value limits. Rarely will you need that. Just know what applies in what circumstances, and concepts. It's hard to know what to focus on, as every exam is different. Try to review everything, and hope for the best.
They were released last week….you must be in wave 2
This past week for me has been nothing but eating, sleeping, and waiting for my audit score.
Yea same here.
I am doing the same thing. I feel so miserable. I can't concentrate on anything. I am adding myself to everyone who asks God for help tonight in re Audit
I only remembered to the thousands but didn't even need that. That was an ugly test but I ended up getting a 82.
If anyone hears about AUD posting in OK, please post!
waiting ..I took the audit exam on July 1…in CA and no scores eithier…..
I took FAR on July 10th in CO, but no score yet. Has anyone else gooten their score?
HI guys MD score is up for Audit
It would make sense for them to have that wouldn't it. However as far as I know what you are looking for doesn't exist.
Same boat here (but 7/7). They aren't released yet. Hopefully tonight! (Good luck BTW)
It's been real, Aaron! Congrats (in advance) !!
CO FAR is up. You're either in the second wave or one of the 500 released by the AICPA Friday.
Same here I'm in FL and took it 7/10 no scores yet.
NASBA has not released Audit yet. Colorado is a NASBA state. Hopefully tonight around 7pm mountain time..
I agree with these folks, dollar amounts aren't the biggest part. I wouldn't worry about memorizing the tax forms as much as I would familiarize myself with understanding how to fill them out. Just look at three or four of them in your book and you'll figure it out. Like everyone is saying, it's more about understanding the concepts than memorizing raw data. Also, my best study tool was working through all of Becker's HW problems. I went through each of them three times and passed Reg with an 84. 'Hope this helps, and best wishes to you!
Looking for information regarding Indiana AUD scores. I took AUD 7/15. Has anyone received their AUD score yet? Thanks.
I am also waiting for FAR score in OK. No luck yet
Same here. Took Far in LA on 07/11. Still no score.
I am from a Non-Nasba state (AR), and I spoke with someone from our accounting office today who said that they have not received the scores in the mail yet from the AICPA. I would say it will probably be around wednesday or thursday of this week?! (hopefully!)
I haven't received mine yet. I think Indiana is a NASBA state, therefore, we will receive them when NASBA posts them to their website. From what Jeff posted earlier, that could be at 9 pm tonight.
People who have said they have received their AUD scores are from people in states where their state accounting board releases the score, for example, IL. Good luck.
Where are you from. Me and Gopi are in NYC.
Thanks! You too!
When I called the MD board, they said they have nothing and once they receive scores from NASBA, we get them at the same time. I am confused.
Shuchi and Gopi, I am from NYC as well. Waiting patiently for 9PM………
I pulled a 73 on FAR in January. When I began studying for the section again in July I found I retained much of the information. As a result, I just did reps, reps, and more reps of Gleim questions. I've always been weaker on MCQs, so this was my approach. I had Becker materials, and while they worked to teach you, doing questions made me feel much more confident. I ended up scoring an 84.
Does anyone know when the official scores usually come out in relation to advisory scores?
Thanks MJCPA
Anyone from the big 4 care to comment – what is the average starting salary for a CPA at the big 4?
Any info on Audit scores for NJ?
Depends on the cost of living of the city you're working in. Anywhere from $40,000-$50,000
For mine, it's been about a week that I received them in the mail from NASBA. The advisory scores in both cases were the same as the ones I got in the mail.
Maya, where in NYC, I live on 44th street near times square.
In NY around 55K starting last year, and it doesnt matter if you start with your CPA or not. You just get a bonus once you pass.
47,500 in Atlanta
What does it mean when it says “after August 7 as well as those with new sims”? Does that mean even if you took it before August 7th but you had newer simulations then it would take all the way till September to get the scores because I took it on July 29th and 2 people who took it the day before I did already got their grade last week!?!?
Anybody fail AUD as badly as I did? (60, and I'm actually going to be working in audit) This is my first time taking the CPA exam, just graduated from college and don't start my full time job with a Big 4 next month. I decided to take all four sections this August before I started because I was afraid I wouldn't have time to study once I start, and don't think I passed the other three sections. Did I rush it, maybe? Thanks.
wow i am surprised people are reporting so low. i work at a small regional firm and it is pretty comparable. i prefer my workload to what i hear is from the big 4.
Maya, I live on 44th street and 8th in the Promendae building on the 32nd floor. let me know if you want to meet. ttyl. ill be at the pool.
58,000 in NY
55,000 Chicago
Anyone know when Audit scores will be released in NH ? Took the exam on 07/01
The date you sit for the exam has nothing to do with when you receive the grade. It depends on the state you live in and the questions that appeared on your exam. I took REG July 2nd, but have not received a score because WI doesn't release any until all 4 sections have been released by the AICPA.
The new sims are the worst part, because you can't control if you get one or not on your exam. Good luck and I hope you get the score soon!
NASBA State AUDIT scores have a very high chance of being released tonight at 9pm. You can view them online at the NASBA site after 9pm.
If I understand correctly – go to the nasba.org website and get to the map – choose your state – get to the scores area – if you are able to enter your section id# and birthdate – too bad
you are in a NASBA state and you have to wait with the rest of us for 9 pm est for NASBA to post our scores….
Sorry, should have said that the date you take the exam doesn't matter as long as you sat prior to the Wave 1 cutoff date (August 7th)
Sorry, I am working and still waiting like all of us……………
Alex, I am also waiting here in NJ. I'm hoping I get my score tonight, sat for AUD 7/13.
I didn't get my results for audit yet, hopefully tonight. Don't stress reg cause I thought I had absolutely no shot of passing and I got an 83. Did you take Becker's fast pass?
Has anyone received from Washington state received AUD score yet? Thank you!
I used Bisk Review (just the textboks and cd-rom) Do you think fast pass would work or do they try to cram so much in a short period of time?
How would you know how your state releases the scores? I am in Texas if anyone happens to know.
TX releases via their own site…not NASBA
Chicago – I started at $57K
Wave 1 ain't over YET!!!
***676 AUD and 351 FAR scores were just released by the AICPA*** (and one REG score)
I took the fast pass program throughout June and July and I loved it. Its definitely intense but it is doable if you commit yourself to the process. I sat for my first test, audit which I took while the course was in session and I'll let you know later if I passed. Unfortunately, I don't think I did because of the sims. Once the class ended I reviewed reg for a week and passed. I'm taking BEC thurs and I pushed financial off because I ran out of time in this testing window. I totally agree with you wanting to get the test out of the way, I feel the same way. The only downside to Becker is that it is really costly but its definitely worth it. Good luck.
9pm in what time zone? I am in Central – in Louisiana – and I don't think I can take much more waiting!!!!
$50k in Philadelphia with $2k signing bonus
Eastern…
you're the man
Why must they torture me so? I gave up hope that I'd get my FAR score in Wave 1 (took it 7/13) and then they had to release more on Friday and then again today. …I'm never going to be able to focus on REG now!
Now I am praying I passed and I'm in Wave 1a vs. Wave 1b or Wave 2a…… ARGGGGH…..
TX – Thanks for giving me a little more hope for receiving my grade in Wave 1. I took FAR on 07/11 and have not received score.
I'm so frustrated – I took FAR on July 23 and haven't heard although all of my co-workers have. When will these ones be posted by NASBA?
You continue to impress…………Thanks for the heads Up!!! Hopefully I passed!!!!!
CK350Z – I took the AUD section on July 24th (should get my score back any day now) and I used same Bisk products as you did. Just wondering, did you read all of the book and complete a lot of the simulations/MC's? How much time would you say you studied? I'll let you know how I fare, but I am not sure if I am convinced with Bisk's products.
Jeff, There have been 2 AUD releases, one on Friday and one today. When would they show up in Texas?
Maya,
Well feel free to stop by anytime. We just got back from the pool and are about to take a shower. Ciao.
-Gopi
Probably Tuesday early AM and Thursday early AM for TX…just a guess…
Jeff,
Should we expect AUD scores for MA tonight @ 9?
Yes – tonight @ approx. 9pm EDT
I took AUD on July 1 for WA. Still waiting…
Thanks! Ahh…i'm so nervoussssssssss.
Jeff,
Is there anyway to delete messages?
even for NY right?
Jeff,
Is there any chance I will get my FAR score in wave one if I took the exam on 8/15?
No, cutoff is August 7th
yep!
Zero % chance, my friend.
Is this always are hard and fast rule for every state? I tested in the AM of August 8th and I was praying that August 7 was an estimated cut off…. any thoughts?
Does anyone know when FL should receive AUD scores? I took the exam mid-July. Thanks!
What about OH aud scores? Can we expect those sometime tonight as well?
The AICPA is the one that first gives out scores, so yeah, that's the hard and fast rule everywhere.
Interesting; I'm looking forward to it.
If MA is going out for sure, OH is, as both are NASBA states.
Is this a joke? I see this ongoing conversation between three people and it has nothing to do with the cpa exam…
That's quite a few AUD scores, so it'll definitely be worth looking wednesday night or so on NASBA if nothing pops up tonight.
Should be tonight…i'm hoping. I took AUD in FL mid-July too, so I'm in the same boat as you.
Does anyone know when Montana will receive Aud scores?
jeff – what does it mean if i took the bec test (VT) on 7/30 and still have not received my score. i also took fare on 7/3 and haven't heard that score either.
less than a hour
)) cant wait any more
i think 30 mins more..
You could find out your score this week. If not, you are in Wave 2 and will receive you score at the end of September.
NJ AUD is out! 85!!!!
hopefully its not in another 24 hours.
Congrats!!!
my score is up AUD in NH im done with my CPA
)))))))))))))))))))))))
any word from NY ?
NH AUD is out. 89! I'm officially done.
MI AUD is out! 96!!
you guys are NASBA states?

Congrats to all who passed!
I passed all four sections! Now I am just a 20-some page application from being a CPA. Thanks Jeff for the website!
Hopefully, it's a midwest thing and we should be hearing something any minute.
FAR LA out (again). I passed….I'm finally done!! Thanks Jeff for everything!!!! You made grueling process a little easlier to digest!! Good luck to everyone else !
Well, I may not get exactly 300, but I'm gonna be cutting it close. Passed AUD in Ga. Three down, one to go. Thanks Jeff!
JEFF-Is there any way (without comtacting the KY Board of Accountancy) to find out if my Audit exam taken on July 21, 2009 has (or hasn't been) been graded? Apparently, KY had some issues with the file received from th AICPA and I am afraid that my score may have gotten lost while trying to recover the file.
hopefully. i feel like i am going to puke!
Congrats to everyone who passed! I'm in TX still anxiously awaiting my score. Why does TX have to post at strange hours? Hopefully there will be a nice surprise waiting for me when I wake up in the morning!
you don't know how frustrating this is…… i want my score now.. i'm registered in New York…
I will go to Albany first thing in the morning… this is ridiculous…
Has anyone checked have there score not be there and then later it shows up? I took mine 7/15 so where is it? It's my last one come on!!
i'm joking of course…
Failed again for the 3rd time….This time a 74. That's it. I'm done. It's just not in the cards for me. I'll take BEC Friday because I paid for it, but after that, I'm out. Congrats to all who passed.
I know that is right! I am in Tx too and waiting on my score. Did you get the e-mail from the State Board letting you know scores are in (as with prior times)? I didn't so I am expecting it on Wednesday.
thats what i am hoping for…. i'm in NYS…
I am in the same situation. I took FAR 7/20 and still nothing. I see some people have received some more FAR scores tonight. Where is mine? Does this mean I'm in the second wave?
Don't give up! I failed my first 3 and passed my last 4. Don't lose hope!
kourtneesmom….there have been many people that have failed more than 3 times in a row that have gone on to pass the exam….and with a lot lower scores than a 74. I'm just saying.
anyone get their AUD score in MA
still nothing here.
do you have your AUD score from KS yet??
PA AUD 95….2/2 so far
I haven't checked yet. It's too emotional to build up to checking the score. I actually don't care if I find out tonight or not.
I took FAR July 24th in MA. Still no score. Guess I'm wave 2?? Taking audit this Friday.
Congrats to all who passed!
I took FAR in the middle of July, no score yet either. There was the 350 FAR scores that got released today by the AICPA, but not going to hold my breath for it. When I called NASBA today, they told me to wait till October…..
two 74's in BEC… i'm going to do it again… i am in IT and i've seen computer jobs that wanted someone with a CPA designation… don't give up,, they give you 18 months…
I haven't received mine in MA either… still waiting. I spoke with someone at NASBA this morning who told me that they had 72 business hours to post. Given that the AICPA released scores Friday, perhaps there's a possibility they could post until Wednesday? Or is it all or nothing tonight? When did you take yours?
Don't forget that more FAR scores were released today and will probably post up Wed night.
I wish I had that outlook… I think I was less stressed before I understood the scoring process.
AUD 81!!!!!!!!! 1/2 way to a cpa baby!!!!!!!
MA scores are out for AUD! I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here. I took FAR on July 23 in Michigan. Still no posting, although 2 of my friends who took it after me had scores posted on Friday night. Let's hope that I'm one of the ones released to NASBA today. Still trying to study for REG on Aug 31 while not stressing out about my missing score.
I've burned myself too many times getting my hopes up. It's really quite depressing thinking that you did so well and to so matter-of-factly be told by an online score that you didn't pull it off. I'll wait till I see some KS people saying that they received their scores before I check.
Has anyone heard anything about AUD from Arizona?
Thanks!
My friend is still waiting. He is supposed to be getting an e-mail. but its still 6 over there
Anyone heard about AUD scores for CO?
Thanks!
I'm in FL (waiting on audit) and nothing yet!!!!
I am in MA and just checked for my AUD score and I got the stupid “Score Not Found” arghhhh
No word in AZ.
Anyone got a FAR score today? I saw someone mention their FAR score and was wondering if more would be released tonight.
I was wondering if the scores all came out at once during the night or if they are released gradually over the course of the night?
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took BEC 4 times… and I just found out today I am a CPA! I have almost given up so many times, but it really is possible, believe me. Have faith. Good luck to you.
From my experience, the scores pretty much come out all at once.
Oh god, oh god, oh god!!!! a 77 on FAR my first time! I really cant believe it, I left like half of the 2nd simm and only answered a few sentences on the memo… but I guess it was enough! well now I can concentrate full on AUD (jul/28). soooooo happy!!!!! congrats to everyone!
KS scores are out.
I am a CPA!!
82 in audit, 4/4. Thank you Jeff for all your work on this site, and thanks to everyone else in the community here keeping everyone updated! I think I'd have gone crazy with anticipation this past week if it wasn't for you all!
Congrats to all who passed and good luck next time to those who weren't so lucky.
I am verifiably, certifiably, and undeniably a Mother Lovin' CPA.
Congrats to everyone else who passed their last and to rest I give my best!
can some in Albany please put down the wacky pataki and post my score please? in this case bad news is better than no news at all!
congrats to all my fellow NY/NJ people who passed…
Anybody heard from FAR in GA?
96, in florida!
Indiana AUD up yet?
AUD for Maine for anyone?
what section?
Anyone receive their score from FAR in Vermont?
Still waiting for Audit here in Mass. I'm thinking next time I take an exam, I'm going to take it on the last day of the testing period so I won't have to go through this excrutiating waiting.
Mine was just posted. I took it July 28.
Is WI not going to be up tonight?? If NASBA is delaying scores because of the whole Brett Favre thing, I can assure you we had nothing to do with it
AUD 83 NJ after first attempt. Congrats to others who passed, for those who didn't good luck next time. My advice, read the textbook (my case Gleim) and keep practicing those multiple choice questions!!!
Oh what the hell, I took mine 8/1 and still don't have it…
So frustrating! I hate being patient.
I'm still waiting in WI too…took the AUD section on 7/9!
I am still waiting too. Haven't heard anything yet.
good idea… this is insane..
I'm from NJ and I STILL don't have my AUD score. WTF????? I know I'm in Wave 1. Any thoughts? Thanks
I am in Mass waiting for audit also…getting a little annoyed, especially because someone posted earlier they had their audit score in MA
WI probably won't be up for another couple days (worst state when it comes to releasing scores). And I pretty much blame Favre for anything that goes wrong these days
I'm waiting on REG (7/2) and Far (8/4). This is almost worse than studying and sitting for the exam!
Thanks for the website Jeff! You helped me out through this wicked process. I took Audit on 8/7 and I just received my final passing score (85) tonight.
AUD 85
BEC 77
FAR 79
REG 81
I'm a CPA!!!!!!!!
yepp…got my score a little before 9
So I don't know how many of you follow this regularly, but if you do you might remember me posting that my exam froze, I had problems, etc… well I had chose to roll the dice and get the score because I felt really confident about the rest… not so much… failed with a 63
It doesn't make any sense, the first time I took it I got a 67 and barely studied… this last time I knew the stuff pretty solid, but got a 63… I guess not finishing one tab is a big deal. I'm wondering if the exam wasn't saving the entire time it was acting up… any thoughts???
Anyways, I've never felt so discouraged and like a failure in all my life… how do you get past this???
Congrats to all who are passing; you should be so proud… if I could only imagine!!
Has anyone received their AUD score in Nebraska yet?
I'm in MA and already got my score… hope you guys aren't in wave two
If it makes you feel better, I'd rather not have gotten it!
I took the test on July 1st in Georgia. Still nothing… WHY!!!!!!!!
Yay! I finally passed something on the first shot! Got a 90 on AUD! Now to try and focus enough to get through REG on Friday….it'll be my second try there and I'm not doing so well on the practice MCQ's.
Passed in Colorado! I am so stoked. This is my last one. This has been a long journey (6+ years). Jeff I will write a story for your website. You do a great thing.
I know! I took mine July 1st in NE and I don't have my score either. Come on already!
well done! Congrats on being finished!

Rebounding from failure: http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-failure.html
Have you ever called and asked anyone about your score? Just wondering how this works. This is my first test that I have taken.
Anyone heard anything for AUD in CA? Still waiting
I have REG on Friday too. Good luck!
A friend I know called the whoever does the releasing thing for WI and they directed him to someone else, they said his scores were in but didnt tell him the scores. I am sure it killed him a little inside to know that the CSR was looking right at the numbers and didnt say anything…
Passed AUD in GA – 82!!! If I can do it, anyone can. After getting a 58 (didn't study) in FAR I was pretty bummed, but now I know it's possible!!! Good luck to all and congrats to everyone who passed!
Execellent – I'm looking for more submissions…thank you!
Congrats!!
Do anyone know where to request a diagnostic report?
ya, they tell you to quit calling and bugging them
you only get one from NASBA if you fail…
Congrats, did your score just show up online or what? I still haven't gotten my score from GA.
Jeff! Thank you so much for this website. It has been my freind for the last 6 month. I have one more to go. BEC 67, 71, 74 and 09/29/09. Hopefully I will be done soon, can not wait to go backto normal life. This is my last section Just found I passed audit with 85 after 74 last window.
Once again, goodluck to everyone.
Why do they release some scores in a state, but not all scores? Yes, I was in wave 1.
When did you take it, I'm from Jersey too, I took AUD on 7/11 and just found out I passed. Good luck!
I have a friend that took AUD in CA back in July. He got his score last Saturday.
Thanks! You too!
AUD 81……finally it is done
I fail AUD twice, REG once and FAR once
the whole thing took me almost 2 years since I started studying this…..
it is either I will be CPA or I will give up because I will lose my BEC if I fail AUD
I am so excited, not because I passed it but i don't have to touch the becker again and waste my weekend!!! Cheer fellows
Two of my friends passed and I STILL don't have my AUD score. C'mon NJ, just give me the score. I take REG on Wed. I need to know whether I passed or not.
It was posted online (nasba) around 8:30pm ct. You may be in wave 2…
Yup, my GA audit score was up at 8:32. But I think some more are coming out Wednesday. Good luck!
I'm sorry. Keep your chin up. I hope you're not thinking about quiting! I know you're discouraged, but that will pass in a couple days. You had an unfortunate situation happen to you, and you rolled the dice, which was gutsy. You'll get there, but you need to keep working hard towards it. 63 without even doing one of the tabs is pretty good, especially if that is the simulation that was graded. I'm not sure if you should just move on towards the next one or keep focusing on this one where the computer froze up on you. Maybe you can prepare for both, and then devote the 10 days leading up to the exam 100 percent focused on the AUD exam… try purchasing the Becker Final review or this Yaeger one that Jeff swears by.
I took audit 7/11 in CA and still no score. Nobody from CA has posted on this site that they received their score, only two people have posted that their friends got it. Not sure what to make of that, but to make myself feel better I'm choosing to ignore the hearsay.
AUD results for NH posted on NASBA, but still no e-mail. Passed with 90.
I received my Audit score in CA on saturday morning. No hearsay here
NASBA/ NYS to ME : DROP DEAD!!!
No score yet, hopefully i passed and it will be there Wednesday night and not next month.
My colleague recieved their AUD score on the NASBA (NH) website, and we both took the exam on 07/01, does this mean i am in Wave 2 or will there be another release tonight or tomorrow night ?
I can't believe it, NO AUD SCORES IN TX !!!! I CAN'TWAIT ANY LONGER
So far, the AIPCA has released two sets of AUD scores for Wave 1. Friday's scores were released last night. Expect Monday's scores tomorrow night if you live in a NASBA state. And who knows, they may ever release some more…
seriously, i want to punch somebody right now.
FinalIy I am a CPA. Thanks to Jeff and Yaeger. Last year during August I cleared BEC and FAR in first attempt. That made me little lazy and this year when I appeared for REG and AUD in May I failed for both with 68 and 73. I did not prepare properly and I was using outdated material (Becker 2006). Then from this site I heard about Yaeger and I have ordered for REG and AUD homestudy. I had only less than 2 months to prepare and appear for exam. I have appeared form REG on 31 July and AUD on 7 Aug. I got 83 for REG and 81 for AUD. Once again thanks to all.
well i got my audit score yesterday…52. After passing the first 3 parts, this killed me as i felt best about audit. I did take all the exams in one month, though, but i had nothing else to do and started work 3 weeks ago so now i'm dreading studying during work. anyways, has anyone heard of someone jumping from a score this low to passing? i'm really nervous after receiving this score.
anyone get auditing scores in PA? I'm still waiting.
i know!! what is taking so long?????
No way!!! We have not received them yet….even some Nasba states did! Cm'on TX, release please
IL Audit:
Has anyone received their score in the second smaller release from yesterday. I'm not sure if IL has released them yet, but let me know. I'm still waiting on mine and I'm hoping I don't get pushed back until September.
TIA!
Got my audit score last night in PA. Final test and I am finished. You may be in the smaller release, check tonight.
Anyone heard about NC? I haven't heard about any scores being released. Waiting on FAR and AUD.
AUD score is finally out – I'm done!!! Thank you Jeff for your help – without Yaeger (Phil and Gary) I would be back to studying again!!!! Thanx I can finally have my life back!!!!
…My AUD score was posted this morning. 77, woot. Reg on Monday, then all done! I took it on July 6th, but had a co-worker take it on the 1st with no score released yet…It's anybody's guess what's up.
Finally got my AUD score for NJ ….I m done with CPA…..
No word yet, but they are good at getting the mail out pretty fast. If you took these tests before Aug 7th and don't have new sims you should be receiving them in the mail this week. I'm expecting Wed or Thurs for Audit.
an aggie can pass AUD? i guess anything is possible… except for the TX board being in way, shape, or form competent. idiots.
I took the exam august 7th and got results (paper copy) on august 24th…..how is that possible….I have never received my scores that fast……86 on Reg from a 74 last window. I have to REPASS FAR now because of the stupid 18 month rule….so in essence I passed all four parts…..Just a stupid technicality.
Does anyone have an idea of when they may post my score for FAR… I took it in PA on July 14th…
My co-worker just received her score this morning from the smaller release from yesterday. I'm still waiting.
Thanks I took FAR early July and AUD late July. I hope I get them this week.
Predictions are up above. Jeff has always been relatively close in his predictions, he got 2 in wave one spot on.
geez, you should have NO PROBLEM passing Audit by itself if you previously took all 4 exams in one month. yes, people have jumped from a 52 to a passing score. you shouldn't worry about it too much unless you spent 3 months studying for only one section and then failed; that's when it really hurts!
Does this go for ALL NASBA states, or just NH?? I'm CO – that'd be great if that was the case…
FAR score in MA posted last night. Got a 78 on my second try. Sat for it on July 11.
Anyone receive AUD scores in WA yet? Took it July 6 and still waiting, I really hope my score comes out in wave 1!
thank you! and congrats! that's awesome
I took AUD in TX on July 27 and received my score this morning. Hope yours gets out soon.
Congrats!! how early was your score available?
Thanks. It was up when I checked it at 5AM but it appears it was updated about 3:15AM.
Does anyone know anything about Iowa? I took AUD there in early July…
It seems like the lag time between when the NASBA releases them and when they get mailed is 6 days. The NASBA release for Reg was the 18th and they mailed REG on the 24th. It was 6 days for BEC too.
NC mailed REG yesterday. I know our mail system is really fast so if anyone gets them in their mail today let me know. I am out of town and it's killing me not to know if they are sitting in my mailbox right now.
I know this is bit annoying, but did anyone get their AUD score for Maine? I know some people who appeared on August 7th got their AUD score.
But has someone got score for Maine?
Thanks.
Name-same situation here. I took all four parts and got AUD back (60) and I felt the same way about AUD, I thought I did really good. Now I'm not sure if I passed the other three parts. I start my job 3 weeks from now and I am also dreading to study again (and pay another dam $900 if i don't pass any other 3 sections)
Has anyone in Oklahoma recieved their FAR score? I sat on July 14th and am still waiting.
Still waiting for my FAR scores as well, good luck to you and hope we both get happy news.
No signs of life here in the great state of Mississippi. Took AUD the third week of July. Nothing like perpetuating the “things move slower in Miss” label.
If there are any fellow Mississippians on this hoard that have rec'd their AUD score from wave 1, pls use your commodore 64 with matching cassette tape deck input peripheral device to inform, accordingly. Gracias.
Here is the website for the NC Board where it shows the release dates. Nothing yet for audit.
http://www.nccpaboard.gov/Clients/NCBOA/Public/…
Anyone got their AUD scores in Missouri yet?
Took AUD in CA….got my score…72….brutal, so close yet so far
Did anyone in TX receive a FAR score this week? I can't get a straight answer from the board. One person says they haven't received any scores this week, but on the posts yesterday someone said they called and they told them their score was received Monday and they should have it today. Has anyone gotten any scores other than the Friday release in TX?
Has anyone in TN received their FAR score yet? Good luck to all
When did you get your score this morning????
Got Reg scores via mail in NC today.
74 so frustrated… this is the one I did not want to take over.
Does anyone have problems checking their score on the NASBA website? I'm in CO and every time I try I get a score not found. This has happened with the other tests as well. It's very frustrating knowing the scores are there but I can not get it!
My friend sat on July 13th and has her FAR score from OK already.
Yes, checked last night and it wasn't posted then they posted it this morning 8:03am PDT
Score not found just means that they have not posted your score yet.
Did NASBA release any scores yesterday? I know many people had thought they would do a 9:00 p.m. EDT release.
Same exact section/state/score here! Good luck next time around!
I'm in MI and I can't get my AUD. score yet, anyone got the AUD.?
yes – AUD and some FAR scores came out last night…
No, but they didn't tell me they received mines but they indicated they expected more scores this week. When I called yesterday they had not received my score.
I think something is messed up for mine. For the last two tests, after I have received my score in the mail, I went online just to see if it was there and still showed score not found.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
Does anyone know if there is a site detailing exam score statistics? For instance, mean and standard deviation of scores for each exam section? Thanks
Horzenj…Thanks for the response..Took Aud July 1,,CA..No scores yet…
72 is rough but your right there…I got a 68 on Reg and a 68 on Bec..but eventually passed them both….Passed audit over 18 months ago–so it expired..so taking it again…
Good luck..Your right there…a few weeks of stuyding and you'll get that 75 and above…..
I am in MI and I my AUD score was posted last night. It wasn't available during the day, but was there last night abou 10:30 pm.
Please fill out the short reader survey if you have time…thank you!
http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-review-survey</b>
I heard that same thing from a woman I work with that took the exam last year. She said that half of her scores were online and the other ones she had to wait for in the mail. Gotta love WI!
Has anyone Non-NASBA received their AUD scores through the mail yet?
Yeah, just gotta stay positive i guess. Thx for your input, and ill keep my fingers crossed that you passed! thx again
I in Wisconsin and my FAR has not been posted on NASBA yet…Just waiting…
I passed AUD in IL! The score was posted around 11am this morning!! Good Luck to everyone!
I'm waiting in AZ. They have my score and I am in wave 1 (i called them) but they have not emailed it out yet.
Hi!! I passed audit the score was posted yesterday for Puerto Rico
This is torture…
Did they say when they might email the scores out?
I'm in MI also and did NOT get my score yet. I'm hoping like you that I'm in with the 600 that were released yesterday. It's my last one too!
I tried to talk to them this morning and all I got was that they had not received any scores this week. I asked when they expected and all I got was they will get them when they get them.
Ugh I took on July 8, and I feel like it is torture. I take BEC in a week and would love to know where I stand with audit going in!
Jeff, any news on CA? I took AUD on July 13th and scores have not posted.
Jeff – Do you know if there are more FAR scores that will be released by NASBA in NY?
I took my exam July 24, should I be waiting for my score in wave 2?
From MN. My 2 coworkers both got their AUD scores last night, but not me……….. Not happy.
All took in July. Please let me be in the small release on Monday!
FYI – received my AUD score on 8/22. Took on 7/7
That is strange, because I am in MA and took Audit July 12th and the NASBA website still says score not found
I called NASBA after lunch today and she said that if my FAR scores are not posted tonight then expect to get them in Sept. This is supposed to be the last posting for Wave 1 FAR scores. I took mine on 07/11. Good luck to you.
I just called NASBA and they did have my birthday wrong, which is why I couldn't get my score. I passed AUD!! I am done!!
Jeff-
I am still waiting on my FAR score from July 23 in Michigan. I'm starting to think that it might be delayed because I wrote some negative comments about the facilitators in the electronic survey I got at the end of my test. I was upset at a long delay caused by a girl taking an exam who wanted to wear a hat, scarf, have a special filter on her screen, etc., and therefore delayed me 20 minutes from starting.
Could this be why it is taking so long? Have you ever heard of this delaying score relases?
So, I have posted this several times but it never shows up!
I passed FAR by a miracle of God, with an 80! I thought FOR SURE, I had failed. It was awful.
I took my last part, BEC, on Saturday. Wave 2 scores can not come fast enough for me. I just want to know if this part of my life is over yet, or if I will have to take BEC again. I am 3 for 3, just need that last 75. I am doing some major praying about it!
Good luck to everyone who is waiting on scores and taking tests soon.
I just called NASBA to see if my score is released, but they're not allowed to check. They said they're releasing until the first week of September. Do I have to wait that long? GRRRR!
I cannot believe that WI has NO SCORES posted yet on their website…what are they waiting for?!? This is extremely frustrating.
Had they had your birthday wrong for your previous exams? I'm waiting on my AUD exam and was stunned when it didn't come out last night. They had my birthday correct on my previous three exams, so I think I'm shooting in the dark here.
Thanks and congratulations
ND AUD score has been received.
I took my AUD exam on 7/31 in MI and got my score at 8:30 PM last night.
Yea, I have never been able to get my scores online. Today was the first time.
Thanks!
I'm from WI also, and have not gotten my AUD score. How were you able to determine that WI has not posted any scores? If that is the case, I would feel better. Misery loves company.
I haven't got my score for FAR in WI either. Last time scores were released, other states got them middle of June, and I didn't get mine till July 1.
I had said that all the sections post at the same time, once all the scores for the wave have been received for WI. I came to this conclusion because during the April/May window, I took BEC and two of my friends took other sections. We will got our scores early in the morning on Friday, May 29th. So it seemed like they waited until they had everything and posted it all at once. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but unlikely. Since the AICPA just released more scores yesterday, I'm guessing it'll still be until Thursday morning before we see ours. : ( Waiting on FAR….just want to know either way.
*all got our scores…sorry!
I have posted this before with no response, but has anyone received their score from Missouri yet? I am trying to determine if I am in wave 2.
Anyone from AZ get their FAR scores yet
I haven't seen any messages from MO people, sorry… I have also not received my audit score from KS so hopefully we are in the small batch of scores that will be posted in the next day or two.
I am waiting on AUD in AZ.
I actually just noticed that some received their audit score from MO – Look under the AUDIT FORUM. It makes me think I am in wave 2. I have called the NASBA a couple of times today and they said my score had not yet been received from AICPA. I don't know why, but I just don't believe that. I think they are telling everyone the same thing so they stop calling.
lol – your username realy says a lot about you.
there are a TON of people who took the test in early July who are in NASBA states who haven't received their scores, although many others in their states have received their scores. I am included in this bunch. I took FAR on 7/6/09, and lots of other people in MA took the test before/after me who got their score, while some people didn't. I know you're waiting for Audit, but if you're score isn't there – it's very possible you're in wave 2.
does anyone know when North Carolina will release AUD and FAR scores, Last testing period, they waited to release all FAR scores at the same time. I hope i don't have to wait another month to get a score back for a test i took july 1st.
I agree, I called today too and they just give the same vague answer… I don't understand why there has to be so much mystery involved. They should be able to release the score if you give them your ssn, in my humble opinion.

Exams for Aud and FAR have not been mailed yet. Most people's guess is mailing 1 week after AICPA release. So AUD Friday and FAR Wednesday. If you are in Wave 1 (no new sims) you should get in 1-2 business days depending on where you live after mailing. Greensboro and the Triangle receive via mail in 1 day.
i got my audit score from MO last night about 7:30pm fyi.
Jeff,
Can you please take my IP address off of your blocker or whatever because I cannot access any website that I need to, and it's annoying me. I am not going to access another 71 again! thanks!
You are not blocked or banned or whatever…you're posting on my site. I checked your IP also.
Did your work block my site???
Scores in NY
80-BEC (73 last year)
83-AUD (74 last year)
REG in October
FAR somewhere on the horizon
I honestly doubt that this would affect your score. You very well could be
in Wave 2 due to a new sim. There should be another release tonight (keep
your fingers crossed).
Anybody got their scores for AUDIT for Maine State? Or is it just me how is looking for them?
Has anyone received an AUD score from CT yet?
Do you know of anyone else in MO that received their AUD score? I really had my hopes up for last night, but I guess I'm going to have to wait (so more).
I guess there is a chance of wave 1b being posting on NASBA tonight around 9:00. I hope I am one of the lucky ones.
Has anyone gotten, or know of someone who has gotten, an AUD score from Wisconsin either yesterday or today? An earlier post made it sound as if Wisconsin had not posted ANY scores. I'm not sure how they would know such a thing. I took AUD in July, and have not seen my score yet. If you are from Wisconsin, and in the same boat as me, I would be interested in hearing your story.
Alright I think it's better, thanks for fixing it.
No. All scores release at once… once you hear of someone receiving any score in WI, then yours will probably be out
me too…
I haven't gotten REG or FAR from WI, so chances are they haven't released scores yet.
Took audit on July 9 in WI…no score yet.
Pretty quiet tonight. I guess no scores are posting. Oh, the agony!
I'm hoping to be in wave 1c for FAR
9:01 ET … no score for NYS.. did you get yours??
Just got my FAR score in NJ about 5 minutes ago…. 72… ughhh… I take BEC on Monday and I am taking if for the second time (got a 72 in April). Unfortunately, I leave a part in November so I am super worried and now back to studying for multiple parts while working busy season at a Big 4. (horrible)… no longer hopeful.
I just received my Ohio FAR score as part of wave 1c…75, not a pretty pass, but it is still a PASS. It posted at 8:55 for reference.
Just got my FAR score in Ohio, thought for sure I was in wave 2 since I had that one simulation, but I guess not. 77. Now just waiting on my BEC score (took it for the 3rd time yesterday). I hope I pass it so I can be done with this test.
congrats!! i recv'd two 74's in BEC… 75 would be like me winning the Mega Millions tonight!! i'm still waiting on Audit in from NYS and the lotto numbers..
Just got my FAR score in Vermont about 10min ago.
Just got Audit in MA…73 ahhh…now I have gotten 73 on Reg, 74 on BEC and 73 on Audit, this is getting really annoying
Got FAR in NY 72 I feel your pain potentially dropping a part come dec. All I can say is thank you to everyone who encourages me to stay with this and without this site i may have given up long ago. So congrats to all who pass and i encourage all who did not pass to stay with it you will get it.
i hear you… two 74's in BEC and i have to wait 2.5 months for my AUD results….
Nope )<
Still no FAR score for me and I took it July 18th. Looks like I truly am doomed to be in wave 2. arrrgggg!
Hang in there. I truly feel like the people who make between 70 and 80 are basically on the same level, the ones that passed were just tested on the material they really focused on. It's just luck of the draw in that range.
You should change you name….
73 on audit….bombed the last sim (damn flowcharts)
Yikes! Flowcharts would suck. It looks like most people posting tonight are nonpassing scores. Better luck next time.
Is the consensus that these will be the last scores released in wave 1?
76 FAR in MA
Back at 3 of 4 parts – BEC to go
Looks like it…waiting on FAR from DE…wrote it on Aug 7th. Dont think it will come before Sept 20th! Good luck!
Is it just me, or are most of the scores posting tonight right around 75. I wonder if wave 1b are the rereads for those who are really close.
I feel like more scores will post up tomorrow from those that were released in wave 1b. After that, I think you should probably assume you are in for a longer wait (wave 2).
Does anyone have any experience with getting your scores reviewed? I am considering having my done. I got a 69 and now I got a 74 on AUD for the second time. I've about had it with this exam.
you are more likely to get a passing score by randomly clicking answers without looking at the questions and skipping both simulations than getting a passing score by having them reviewed…
I have not heard of anyone who has personally got their score reviewed but from all the interviews on this site, etc the review has not resulted in a change in score for anyone for a long while. Moreover they take a long time so it is best to do the exam in the next testing window. I am sure you will pass. This exam is as much a test of the materials as it is a test of one's endurance! Hang in there and good luck!!
Hey guys and gals,
Its the night before my audit exam…I have the test at 3:30 pm tomorrow. Do you guys have any last minute advice on things I should go over or refresh for tomorrows exam??
Get some sleep!
Has anyone in PA received their audit score tonight? I haven't received mine yet…I didn't think Audit was having new simulations…
Anyone got their FAR score in CA yet?? I took it on July 18… and I am still waiting… and waiting…
Audit and FAR scores in the same night…passed…This stuff feels good….one more to go.
Thanks, I'd love for this to be my last part, but I just am not going to expect it until mid September.
75 FAR in MA
anyone received any wave 1 scores from az. what's going on here?
You're not the only one who got that score. I might have gotten the same SIM. Oh well, we will PASS next time. This time, we'll kill it. I have REG tomorrow and I have no choice but to pass. Good luck! We can definitely do this
Just got my AUD score – 74. First time I got a 69, I guess I improved but not quite enough. If anyone has any tips let me know!!
OK so Maine AUD did come out. I got 76, just managed to pass. I am not going to complain.
What materials are you using?
Becker. What have you used?
I used becker too, I just tried to memorize the entire book, read it multiple times. try and know the reports inside and out. I hope you pass this next time around.
3000 comments. wow!
I am pretty sure that is the reason. I got a 76 tonight on AUD.
I recommend practicing all the multiple choice questions (Becker) and make sure you understand why you get some wrong. With the ones you get wrong refer back to the test book and make sure you get the concept. Also use http://www.cpareviewforfree.com for supplement questions. It worked for me and I'm confident it can work for you too. You can do it!!! Good luck!!!
I used a combination of Gleim and Becker. I read Becker because it was an easier read and did the Gleim multiple choice questions. You can buy the Gleim multiple choice questions CD Rom I believe. However, for AUD I read very little and did as many MC questions as I could. You learn a lot more than you think from the MC and also practice taking the test by doing multiple choice questions. I would worry more about memorizing MC answers when you do computations. Hope this helps. Sims are different because if you have enough knowledge on the subject doing the sims just teaches you the format.
My FAR score was not posted as of tonight at 9pm, but it was up just about 10 minutes ago when I checked!!! 77! What great motivation, I have REG in the morning, and it will be my last one!
Same boat. 74. First time 72. Just crank out the MC i hear.
TX AUD is up. I passed!
More TX AUD is up. Passed sweet 75 ! thanks God!! score was posted at 4:06 a.m.
still no score for me in TX =( I took AUD on July 17th and am so tired of waiting. Will more of them be released?
I am still waiting on AUD from AZ. They keep saying the scores will be out within 24 hours…
PASSED AUD and I'm DONE, thanks Jeff for all of this, I couldn't have done it without you!
Are there supposed to be anymore NASBA scores released tonight?
anyone in NY still waiting for AUD?
i dont know why mine hasnt come out yet
im getting worried…
Jeff, do you think Audit will still have one more small AICPA release or is it safe to assume if we haven't received our score we are in Wave 2?
I got my FAR score last night online for NY. I took my exam on 7/15. AUD should have come out before that I thought. Good luck!
Wave 1 is *not* done…more AICPA releases to come according to the little birdie I talked to this morning…
Still haven't received my AUD score from NASBA. I'm a FL candidate and took the exam on 7/18. Anyone else in a similar situation?
awesome! Thank you.
still waiting here… we're probably in the second wave…
Do you have any idea if all of the scores have been released by NASBA? So if I have not received my score yet, I took AUD Jul 29th, that my only chance for a wave one release is if I am in the next score release by the AICPA?
Awesome, this means WI will never get reported. Thanks for the updates Jeff.
Wave 1 for FAR and AUD or are you just talking about Audit?
Did your little birdie know which exam parts?
Just wanted to let some of you guys know also that although I'm a NASBA state I got my score this morning, thought that was a little weird, not sure why? But others might want to check. Might have to do with I changed my address recently and was issued a new NTS days before my test and mine was suppose to be uploaded initially and wasn't I'm not sure.
Please, please, please let my Oklahoma BEC score be released ASAP! I don't know if I can handle much more wait. Grr.
I got my REG score last week, 73. I know this was due to my bad time managment. I was unable to complete most of the last Simulation. I did finish the Research and Communication but the other three tabs I just plugged in numbers. So what I'm wondering is I've already been studying to take FAR the first week in Oct and I had planned on taking BEC right before Thanksgiving; retaking any sections I needed in 2010 but now I'm wondering if it would be smarter to retake REG before Thanksgiving and push taking BEC back to Janurary. Which would mean studying in Dec since my NTS runs out 1/26 for BEC, which I was not planning on doing. Any Advice?
There's three of us in my office here in OR that took FAR between July 1st and July 3rd (an eternity ago) and no one has heard anything yet. Our scores aren't posted online so checking the mailbox each night has become a heart-wrenching ritual. Has anyone else from OR received a Wave 1 score?
I think you should retake Reg sooner than latter. Of the exams I have taken; Reg is the one I feel I remember the least from. It depends on the person though and which area they are stronger in. Reg was one of my weaker areas.
There's absolutely no reason why BEC should take longer than a week to study for. I studied for 2 days (5 hours/day with Becker material) and got an 84.
2 days, thats really good!!! I definetly don't feel like I could study that in 2 days. I suggest about three weeks; but it depends on how long you have been out of school.
Not in OR, but I took FAR on the 7th. Nothing yet!!
That's why they are not getting released??? Ugh…WI is letting me down in general (Brewers, Favre, construction all the time…)
Arizona AUD is out, finally.
Passed with an 87!
So it sounds like you're debating spending your time in Late Oct / Early Nov to either study REG (for the 2nd time) or BEC (for the 1st time)? That's a personal decision – I personally would do REG since it'll be more fresh in your memory, as opposed to loading ANOTHER cpa section (BEC) in your brain and wearing you out even more.
If your NTS for BEC runs out in January, I don't see any harm and putting it off until then and just taking REG before that. of course, i think registration fees will be bigger if u keep reapplying separately.
it sounds like you've passed AUD already. is that right?
That's awesome. Congrats. I haven't been sent an email yet….Good luck on BEC thanks for the advice.
Called NASBA again today. I can tell they are growing frustrated with the recent call volume, but there is no way they are as frustrated as me!
i might call just to frustrate them too… btw any word?
Anyone in WV receive scores for any part?
Well for any of you waiting on your scores in a Non-NASBA state that doesn't post online, I contacted AR's board of accountancy today, and they still haven't received anything from the AICPA. I am beginning to think AR is the only state that does snail mail though!
Yeah passed Audit early summer. I think I just need confirmation from other people who have taken the test to change my original plans, and spend the extra money on getting the NTS for just one test.
I don't know if this is a big deal or not, but some of the items in the Regulation material that is tested on might change in 2010. I have no idea what they would be, but that might be something to look into. If things do change, it might be easier for you to take it sooner rather than later so you don't have to relearn new material. And it seems like the Reg material would be much more likely to change than the BEC material. Just a thought…
WV is snail mail. It takes at least a week, sometimes 2 to get our scores after NASBA states get their scores online. I sat for REGs on 7.2, my last exam, so the waiting is especially frustrating.
I called NASBA and pestered them. They are the ones that send out an email.
has anyone taken FAR in PA in the first wave and gotten their score???
Thanks for the info! I sat for AUD on 7/8 so I feel your pain, although I am not even close to being done with the exam!
****UPDATE: Upon further review – Wave 1 is confirmed complete. ****
Ugh, 73 on FAR. Stupid simulations.
I feel your pain. I got 73 in Reg.
The Simulations got me too!
This sucks!
Boooo
( Another month to go before grade stalking can begin again.
Do you think Audit will get released last again?
Jeff,
Just to clarify what that actually means: Are you saying that the AICPA has released all the wave 1 scores to NASBA, or are you saying that NASBA has released all wave 1 scores to candidates? In other words, are there scores that were released by the AICPA to NASBA that NASBA has not yet made available?
I was kind of expecting some more scores to post up tonight.
Jeff, is NASBA's release of Wave 1 complete or the AICPA? I'm in PA waiting for an audit score…is it possible NASBA would still post tonight?
I sat for REG on 7/30 in AR and received my score (90) in the mail today. Not sure why the AR state board told you they hadn't received scores, they obviously have for REG. Maybe they haven't received AUD yet? Not sure. Still waiting on FAR (sat on 7/9)…

Has anyone in TN gotten their FAR score in the mail yet?
Yeah I asked specifically about AUD, which I don't think they have received yet. I stalk the mailbox daily! It's starting to get frustrating. Congrats on the 90!
Anyone out there gotten, or know anyone who has gotten. an AUD score from Wisconsin?
No. WI doesn't send out scores until all have been released. Jeff noted that the AICPA is still releasing scores, so we most likely won't get any until next Monday (last day of the month). I think some other people are waiting for AUD in WI too, as talked about in the other comments on the site.
Any PA Audit scores yet?
I got mine Monday night
For those of you who want to quit-
I took all 4 exams more than 20 times all together; can't even remember. But, the first one was in 2005. Received scores from 29 to 85. And now, here I am will all passing scores.
BEC-79
FAR-75
AUD-75
REG-85
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!
Did you pass? I am still waiting and I don't know if I passed or not…
Check the latest comment from Jeff…he posted an updated note that Wave 1 has been confirmed complete. So hopefully that means we will be getting our scores soon!!!!!!!
NICE WORK! Congrats on being done:)
Congratulations! I see you are from AR, did you happen to get that audit score today?
I am patiently waiting…I feel like we are the slowest state!
Congrats!
I had to check the NASBA website as soon as I saw that
. Nothing yet, but hopefully soon!!
haha, yeah, NASBA was the first place I went as soon as I saw his comment too…and about every 1/2 hour after that
Now I'm starting to feel tortured like everyone else was when they knew their scores were getting posted soon. Last time I got a score during Wave 1, it was on the 27th of the 2nd month…tomorrow is the 27th!!!!! Hopefully that means something!
now thats dedication…
i predict next monday…
Jeff,
I noticed on NASBA's Twitter they said that if you didn't receive scores to call 800-CPA-EXAM. Does this mean that if NASBA did not post scores on their website (such as my state, WI) that they will give the score to you over the phone??? Please let me know…this wait is brutal! Thank you!
92 on audit! F'in pumped! Thank you Peter Olinto!!
Hopefully just one more left!
Alright I need some advice… I just got word that I can retake my REG exam for free. Originally I took it at the end of July and the conditions in the room made it so that I couldn't concentrate ( I heard someone talking in the room, a toilet flushing, conversation in the other room,etc. Overall it was a nightmare!). I only did the writing part of the 2nd simulation (I didn't get to do any of the other tabs) So my question is do I sign up to retake it for free.. or do I wait till Sept to see if I passed? If I wait till Sept. and find out that I failed then I will have to pay to retake it. Any thoughts?
Man, that sucks! What happens if you sign up to retake it? Can you sign up for the exam and then cancel it when you get your score back?
No, they won't give me my score if I sign up to retake it..
hey all, can we call for our scores tomorrow? nasba tweeted that if you took your exam and didnt get your score to call 800-cpaexam
My FAR score is still not up yet… >.<…. anyone from CA got theirs?
You can try it but as the whole state hasn't been released yet I doubt that they will give you scores over the phone. No one in WI has gotten anything yet, and they tend to wait really late. I'd say scores will be posted on the website as soon as tomorrow or by Monday at the latest.
This is my third time doing the long wait and it never gets any easier!
Hi guys,
I have a question and I was hoping that someone can help me out here?
I am taking BEC this Saturday and I registered to take BEC again in October in case I fail on Saturday. (I did not study as much so I am not feeling too confident).
I just wanted to make sure that you are allowed to re-register for an exam that you have not taken yet???
Congrats! You did it!
Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of receipts to prove I paid for the exam?? The fees are reimbursed by my firm once you've passed, however you need to submit proof of payment. I was wondering if there was a place to obtain the payment receipts. I dont remember them issuing receipts after each payment was made. Thanks
If you go to your state on the NASBA website, there should be a contact e-mail address. I have e-mailed my state's e-mail address and they have sent me a receipt. Hope you can get ahold of someone!

WI hasn't released their scores yet, but you can try… i doubt you'll get anywhere
Thanks!! Much appreciated. I've been searching through various credit card statements/bank statement for the past year and a half and I'm sure they need additional support, because nothing is ever easy! Fingers crossed they get back to me. Thanks again
I don't think this relates to Wisconsin unfortunately, but you could always give it a try. I called NASBA yesterday to ask when Wisconsin would be releasing their scores, and they gave a general answer about how they will be posting “sometime during the last week in August and maybe into the first week in September”. As various comments have stated, WI waits until all the scores have been released until they post them, so I still believe they will be posting WI scores soon, but who knows.
Any scores released tonight? Waiting for AUD!
that means you paid for it twice? (you need a section ID to register, and you need an NTS for a section ID, and you need to pay registration for an NTS).
why would u pay for it twice.. i assume you haven't done this (although you certainly make it sound like you paid twice already)
I took it on around July 25th (not sure of the exact date) and I got a 95 on it. You may be in wave 2…
Yes, I am from AR, Little Rock. And, I received my REG score today. I am not sure about AUD.
Is there a way to know first attempt pass percentages for all 4 exams. In other words,
how many exam candidates pass all 4 exams in their first attempt, in a given year/ window?
Thanks
Just found out i passed what i think to be my final part of the CPA exam. I passed the first part 1/11/08 but my sheet from NASBA said it expired 7/31/09 and i took the final part 7/28/09. Have not received my score sheet yet but was just nervious because it technically was more than 18 months. Is it standard for the 18 month period to always end the final day of the month? Thanks for any comments
Olinto is the MAN. i take audit on friday… im assuming becker did you well? i am studying with becker and have run through the lectures, mc (90%s), and simulations. from you experience with becker would you say im perpared? any items becker missed? hope to hear from you PETEY!
you are finished. As long as you sat for the exam before 7/31, then you are fine!
Thanks. My score sheet will probably be coming in the mail like tomorrow. But couldn't wait that long and was hoping someone could help. Thanks again.
I was under the impression that NASBA would not allow you to register for the same exam twice. Thought I read that somewhere, but cannot remember where. I see no benefit in register twice for the same exam regardless of how you feel prior to taking it.
My thoughts exactly!
Actually this situation has come up before. If you think you might have passed it and money is not an issue, then I would letit ride and wait for the score. However, if money is an issue and you really feel like you did very bad and you do not want to fork over an another exam fee (I wouldn't), I would just leave to bad luck and retake the exam in the next window assuming time is also not an issue. This could allow you to get that extra studying done to make sure you pass or know the material that much better.
Having said all of this, I have not taken REG but I have taken FAR and I would not want to retake FAR under any circumstances if I had a choice. Best of Luck in whatever decision you choose.
Congratulations!!! I have also taken the exams multiple times. I have one left, AUD, which I take tomorrow. I am feeling very comfortable. I took it in April and got a 71. I feel I will have no problem this time around. I'm prepared. Congratulations again! And Good Luck to everyone!!!
I thought I read somewhere that 10% pass their first time and 80% or so eventually pass when they keep trying. I think i may have seen that on Becker's website or something.
anyone else still waiting on bec? took it 7/30.
http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam/tips/pass-rates
your state probably hasn't released it yet
Still waiting on my AUD score from FL. I took it 7/18 – any chance I get it as part of this first wave?
Congrats
Pretty sure there will be no more releases via NASBA…I think they've
released them all. I would spend your evening doing something else and then
check once before going to bed just in case.
No, I am still waiting. But I took my test on 8/4, so it might not have made a cut for the wave 1 score release.
Jeff,
I am waiting on AUD from Wisconsin. Some posts on this site have indicated that Wisconsin NASBA has not released any scores as of yet. Your message indicates that all NASBA scores have been released. Would you advise that if I have not gotten my score from WI NASBA as of yet, that it will be a 3 – 4 week wait until Wave 2?
Congrats!
thank you! I remember Becker citing 'less than 10%' in their textbook foreword…never understood where they got that statistic!
Nasba has this:
Candidate Performance Book 2008
http://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/NASBAWeb.nsf/PS/3…
Maybe this contains definitive statistics?
Thanks
I don't know anyone from WI who has received a score via NASBA for any section this testing window. They have to post some scores soon I would hope….this happens every testing window…
WI is the one section I don't know about…my comment about NASBA releasing
all scores did not take WI into account. There's still hope!
So in your experience, would you say that a wave 2 release is a good indiciation that I failed. I had that happen with FAR last year and I got a 74. I guess it could be that I had a new simulation, but what does that mean? It looked normal to me.
Thanks again for your site.
You should review the areas that you are weak on. I wouldn't suggest registering again.
My advice study hard for the next couple of days. Also don't second guess yourself during the exam!
I ended up passing BEC with a 79 after changing some of answers! I can still remember some of the answers I changed ( of course I changed them to the wrong answer).
You can do it!
No, I wouldn't assume that at all. You very well could have had a new sim on
an old topic…it may have looked standard, but it was new? Don't read too
much into it. My co-worker had to wait 11 weeks for his FAR score…sat July
3rd 2008 and got his passing score late September.
I just called NASBA with a similar question and was given very vague answers. “If you haven't yet received it it's because the AICPA has not released it. They release scores up through October.” Great…
You are probably in Wave 2. I am a FL candidate and received my score Monday night. FL uses NASBA, I have always received all my scores with the rest of the NASBA release.
Well… that's not what I wanted to hear, but thank you.
Does anyone know of ANYBODY that has actually received one extra point when having their score re-graded? I got a 74 on FAR. Please, please respond and let me know if you have tried the re-grading thing and what happened. Or if you have ever heard of anybody else getting a point out of it. I have never heard of a case where the score was changed. Thanks.
Similar situation here. I took it on 7/22 and haven't heard a thing. I'm not going to expect it before mid September. I've heard of people who did get their scores however, so I think we must have got bumped back to wave 2.
Whiteflag –
I woke up this morning and check my score one last time. I have accepted that fact that I am in wave II (AUD in Missouri). It's a jagged little pill.
Looking foward to September 21st, 2009!!!! Almost one more freaking month!
P.S. DAMN IT!
Never heard of anyone getting their grade changed, NASBA states it on their website that they have never issued a grade change as a result of a score Appeal. here is a link read at the bottom of the page in the bullet points, 2nd one.
http://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/NASBAWeb.nsf/wpes…
here is the quote:
Candidates are advised:
* the score appeal fees are non-refundable.
* that no score changes have occurred as a result of a score appeal. However, the decision to appeal a score is up to the candidate.
* that the submission of a Score Appeal form should not prevent a candidate from re-applying for the same examination section(s) in the next testing window.
* it takes at least eight (8) weeks to obtain score appeal results from the AICPA.

I took my exam on July 16, 2009 for AUD (NJ). I check my score and got the error message on NASBA's website 5 minutes ago. I'm guessing that I am in wave II as well. If released on September 21 I will have waited over 9 weeks for my results. This is my last part and it's KILLING me not knowing…
Has ANYONE in Wisconsin received their score for any section yet? This state's score process is so stupid.
Just a quick question… Are the questions in Wiley CD and Wiley Book the same or different?
Not yet…
Hey Jeff! Are you sticking with your Wave 2 predictions? Just curious since Wave 1 was a cluster.
yeah – Wave 1 was a cluster, but there's no way to account for a cluster…they were still 2/4 on the money…not too shabby
P.S. cluster comment was directed at the AICPA and not your prediction. My REG score came in on the $, so no complaints.
I know
SO, I took AUD today in 1.5 hours. It felt like the easiest exam in the world, but that was probably because I studied as if it was the hardest since I wanted this to be my last exam. September 21st seems very far away……Good luck everybody.
So I just got out of FAR a couple hours ago, and yeah – it was just like everyone said it was going to be – brutal! Easy first testlet, second testlet from hell, easier third testlet. Had the multiple-topic sim, which was really not fun. Had a communication where the topic literally was covered in the Wiley book in 1 sentence (and very briefly by Cindy), and I had to find a way to write a paragraph about it. Not fun at all. Journal entries like crazy! Whew… Guess we'll see in three weeks…
I agree with Loch_Ness comments. especially about government and not for profit. Since it is remote that you will get a simulation on the subject the whole percentage between the two subjects total 18-24%. Doing the math that would equate to approx. 1 of 5 multiple choice questions relate to one of those subjects.
I used Becker and passed FAR with an 80 this past window. It is a beast I studied approx a total of 180-200 hours over approx 10 weeks doing the multiple choice questions and listening to the all the lectures again.
so i took far last night… i think i totally failed again. sigh. september 22 is going to suck so bad.
Hey… I take audit on Monday… what did you prepare with that you felt so prepared. I am using Becker and have nailed the MC… think I'm ready? haha
Has anyone used Bisk CPA review? If so, do you think it prepared you for the exams?
New poll in the sidebar…I'm trying to decide which comment system to go with…with my new server I'm at a crossroads…can go one way or the other.
So I'm taking FAR on Monday and pretty much doing a 3 day cram…I know, I know, not the brightest idea, but I know of a couple people who have pulled it off. I'm basically just reading the chapters and doing MC over and over and over…. I had to scrap the lectures due to time… anyone out there ever passed this exam in cramming?? If so, any last minute words of advice!!! Thanks in advance for any help!!
Hi Jeff,
What is a difference between Wave 1 & Wave 2? – I took my exam on Oct – 3rd and when you do you think the results will be out/posted?
What is a difference between Wave 1a & Wave 2a? I also saw Wave 2a – in your contents- can you please advise?
Thanks.
I took the REG exam today, actually i passed the other three parts, but the REG I retake it for the second time, i think that the time is very tied. especially i am not us therefor im not familiar with the US Tax and business law. i hope that i did well
If only more than 11 people would read about this..
