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

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
