Frequently asked questions about CPA Exam score releases:

Q: What is the difference between an AICPA and a NASBA score release?

A: The AICPA has to release scores for a particular section of the Exam before anything else can happen. Once that happens, then scores can start being released. Everything depends on the AICPA. The way that it works is that the AICPA releases scores to the states. Some states are independent – such as California, Illinois, Virginia, Texas, etc and release through their own state website. The majority of states, however, release their scores through NASBA. It’s important to remember that the AICPA controls score releases and until they release scores – all is quiet.

Q: I didn’t get my score and Wave 2 seems to be over – where is my score?

A: Your score is in what I called “Wave 2a” – which is usually approx. 5 business days after Wave 2 is released via NASBA for a particular section. This isn’t official, but “Wave 2a” scores tend to be between 72 and 78.

    Has anyone used Bisk CPA review? If so, how do you think it prepared you?

  2. Name 05. Sep, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    its just like any other cpa review.

    i passed bec, aud, and reg using it… just waiting on far now :(

    Since Oklahoma is a snail mail state for releasing scores. I would recommend you contact your State's Accountancy Board since virtually 100% of BEC scores are usually released. My guess is the hold up is with your state board. They should be able to tell you one way or another if they have your score or are in wave 2. Good Luck!

  4. LEE_IN 05. Sep, 2009 at 5:03 pm

    Yes, it does. If you received your score in the mail but it is not on the NASBA website and your state has online reporting, it is possible that NASBA has your information incorrect. I would suggest that you contact your NASBA coordinator and check it out.

    It was pretty good, I passed AUD and BEC with it. It wasn't good enough to pass REG, however – I was weaker in tax stuff, so using Yaeger where they are really good at teaching concepts helped me out a lot. If you are just out of school or strong in the topics to begin with, Bisk is a decent low-cost option. I really liked the Bisk Hot Spot videos taught by Bob Monette.

    I used it to get scores in the 90s for both BEC and REG. Also felt prepared for AUD but haven't received my score yet. My advice would be to use the Bisk video lectures… the book has a lot of extra information that you may not need to know in depth… the lectures get more to the point.

    I don't use Becker.. I will ask one of my colleagues if they can give me the addendums. Thx for the suggestion.

  8. Soxfan 06. Sep, 2009 at 8:39 pm

    I agree with the above 100%…I think they are very helpful and help you prepare..I've passed both of the sections I took the first time.

    My friend started using the Bisk video lectures when preparing for REG, but switched part way through his preparation to Becker and he scored in the 90's. I used Becker and know that it prepared me to pass.

    What happened to the forum? I was just getting used to it. ;-)

  11. amj2323 14. Sep, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    I recently took BEC in California. Should I expect the results to be released on the AICPA release date which is today? Or on another date when the state releases grades?

    Getting anxious for FAR!!!

    I’m guessing that most of the score discussion will take place in the forum this time around, fyi…

    Anyone hear anything about BEC for AICPA states?

  15. kirujo 15. Sep, 2009 at 10:33 am

    Thanks Jeff.

    Since you’re registered with the blog – you should also be registered with the forum…let me know if you have any issues.

  17. ginabini 15. Sep, 2009 at 10:39 am

    Jeff- I’m able to reply here, but for some reason I can’t reply on the forum. Do you know what the problem may be?

  18. optionet 15. Sep, 2009 at 10:56 am

    Have anyone gotten their score back for BEC ???

  19. Jeff - another71.com 15. Sep, 2009 at 10:57 am

    I just tested it out and I see what you’re saying…

    Unfortunately, it appears you will have to register for the forum separately. On the bright side, it takes less than a minute to complete the registration.

    All set! Thank you!

  21. cpaneedy 15. Sep, 2009 at 5:20 pm

  23. Richard 16. Sep, 2009 at 10:00 am

    Has anyone gotten their score for BEC? Jeff predicted this morning, the 16th. Or does he maybe mean tonight?

  30. Huney1 23. Sep, 2009 at 8:01 am

    Is there any news regarding the release of the AUD scores for the July/August Wave 2? Did the AICPA release scores to NASBA yet? Is there a way to find this out?

  31. Jeff - another71.com 23. Sep, 2009 at 11:08 am

    Please post comments about score releases over at the forum…I am closing comments on this post so that no one gets confused about where to get news about score releases.

    Thank you for reading,
