CPA Exam candidates who had to endure the first wave of April/May 2010 score releases should know to expect the unexpected.

Will the AICPA again release scores a week later than they did last year?

(Warning: These are predictions are guaranteed to be way off…)

AICPA Release:

• BEC – Monday, June 14 (2009 release Friday June 12 4pm CST)
  
• REG – Wednesday, June 16 (2009 release Tuesday June 16 3:45 pm CST)
  
• AUD – Thursday, June 17 (2009 release Thursday June 18 2 pm CST)
  
• FAR – Friday, June 18 (2009 release Friday June 19 7:30 pm CST)
  

NASBA’s score release process usually follows the AICPA release the following evening at approx. 10:15pm EST.

If the AICPA releases scores on a Friday, the NASBA release should come the following Monday evening at approx. 10:15pm EST.

Q:

I sat for Regulation on the 1st of April in Ohio. When will I receive my score?

I am scheduled to take BEC before August, so now I’m anxious about both BEC and REG.

Should I forget about REG for now and concentrate on BEC instead?

Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks for helping me hold onto sanity during this ridiculous experience.

A:

Since you took Regulation on April 1, this makes you eligible for a Wave 1 CPA Exam results release.

However, if you had a brand new simulation on your exam, you will be in Wave 2 automatically per my Interview with the AICPA.

Let’s assume though that you didn’t have a new simulation and everything is copacetic (I always wanted to use that word in a sentence) on the REG front.

I think your score will be released by the AICPA on or around May 19.

Since Ohio is a NASBA State, your (passing) score should come out the following evening.

I would push Regulation out of your mind. Just assume that you passed and move on mentally to BEC.

Focusing 110% of your efforts into BEC would be a wise use of your time.

It is feasible that you could actually take BEC before you get your REG score if you really crank up your study regimen.

However, taking BEC at the end of May with REG score in hand – for better or worse, is the safer plan.
