Over the weekend, messages started popping up in the Another71 Forum that they had received phone calls indicating that their previously failed CPA Exam section from had changed from Fail to Pass.

Here are the key points to know:

1. This isn’t a hoax. Another71.com has confirmed that this did happen and steps are being taken to rectify the situation.
2. The errors were discovered by the AICPA in FAR and REG Exams from 2011 & 2012 and the errors involved Simulations
3. Some candidate scores resulting in a previously-failed exam were changed to a passing score
4. All candidates affected by this have been notified. If you haven’t been notified – you aren’t affected
5. Anyone affected (i.e. you’ve been contacted) that needs clarification can contact jeff@another71.com and you’ll be put in contact with the appropriate people to get your questions answered

Start getting used to the smell of dry erase markers.

Apparently CPA Exam security measures are being tightened at exam centers.

In the past – candidates would get a few pencils and some scratch paper (which you had to turn in before you left).

Those days appear to be over.

Dry erase “noteboards” and markers are replacing pencil and paper.

An another71.com reader also e-mailed me and said NASBA sent them this:

CPA Examination Candidate,

For additional information, please refer to the Candidate Bulletin.

There are some choice responses to this change in the CPA Exam Forum.

Update: 12/21/12

NASBA issued the following statement:

Please note:

The change to noteboards is an additional security measure.
