    I received a call today from CPA Examination Services notifying me that the REG test I took on 1/14/2011 was graded incorrectly. I failed that part with a 73 and because of a test key error in one of the simulations, I would have passed with a 75. I took REG 3 more times after that until I passed. I’ve been licensed in LA for over a year now. They’ve agreed to refund me for my costs of taking the part 3 times. The lady with testing services told me that this happened to 19 other people. She also said that the AICPA contacted them this week when they found the error.

    This is my first post on another71, however I’m no stranger to the forums. Just wanted everyone to be aware.

    Weird, this seems to be happening a lot today. I just got a call from the AICPA telling me that I retroactively won the Elijah Watt Sells Award for 1979. What's even weirder is that I was born in 1987. I wonder if I can throw a lavish celebration for winning the award and sue for the cost of the party? Thoughts?

    Do with it what you will. I'm just relaying information that I found out today and wanted candidates to be aware. I see that you haven't passed any parts yet. Good Luck.

    Well LACPA, I just posted with the same issue on FAR in July '11. A lot of people, understandably, are having a hard time believing it.

    And really, it is outrageus that they just give us a call and say, oops, sorry about that.

    I'm going to update on this once I get the check. But it would be nice to get more than just the money for the exams back. I know they can't give six months of my life back, but something.

    Did they call your cell phone? Take a screen shot of the Caller ID.

    Why are people doing this? If this is the best practical joke you can come up with, may I be the first to say…way lame.

    BEC: (4/2012) 88
    AUD: (5/2012) 91
    REG: (8/2012) 82
    FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

    Ya know I'm not one to assume someone is lying, I'm a pretty trusting person, however I do find it odd that both posters who said this happened to them both created their profile today. So if it is a hoax then my bet is that it is the same person and they created the second profile to make it look like they weren't lying and that it happened to someone else too. Of course I am not saying that this is the case because I do not want to call anyone a liar. That is just what I assume if this is a joke.

    Drama Ninja will be all over it.

    From what I remember, Jeff has no problem cross checking IP addresses and what not. Of course that doesn't keep someone from creating a separate account at home after they already created the first one at work.

    This person's spouse posted here back in 2011 about their husband taking the exams, so I don't think this is a prankster.

    Jeff:

    First, you are 100% correct. My wife did post on the forums back in 2011. The representative at testing services left me a message on my cell phone. I printed a screen shot of the phone number from my phone. In order to keep the phone number confidential (and not have a thousand people calling), could i e-mail you my screen shot? Believe me, I didn't believe what happened to me today could have ever happened.

    Jeff:

    I e-mailed you the screenshot from my phone. I found your e-mail from one of my old ninja notes e-mails.

    Oh my word. This is beyond messed up.

    Looks like I owe you both an apology! I'm sorry. @LACPA & @kushmirc

    Jeff thanks for confirming.

    I really get upset when administrative errors happen. Especially when they come from entities which have the sole job of ensuring accuracy. I saw the other post on this forum that looked similar and if it is really true I'm pretty sure I'd be going bonkers right about now. I mean, it has to be such a helpless feeling to find this out because what can you do! They're going to refund your fees, big woop! How about all the time, anguish, stress, etc. that you had to go through in order to pass the section the subsequent time, if that even happened. I think they should be providing more than just a refund for the fees.

    FAR - Bad Fail '11, Fail '12, Fail '13, PASS It's a miracle!
    AUD - Fail, PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    BEC - PASS!!!!!!!!
    REG - PASS!!!!!!!! And I'm done!
