I was 4/4 in Wave 1 of the January/February window and 0/4 for Wave 2. We'll forget Wave 2 ever happened (and assume that the AICPA won't delay BEC or release FAR second again) and march boldly forward with these predictions.
Joanne Vician (who graciously sent me score release info ahead of it being public) at the Illinois Board of Examiners retired after the Jan/Feb 2009 window, but left the readers of this site in good hands with a contact of hers…more to come on that later.
Here we go…
Here are the predictions for the April/May 2009 Wave 1 (NASBA) score release…
- May 18 – BEC
- May 20 – AUD
- May 21 – REG
- May 22 – FAR
Which means that IL, CA, VA, etc will get their scores…
- May 15 – BEC
- May 18 – AUD
- May 19 – REG
- May 20 – FAR
Like I said, Joanne left the candidates who read this site in good hands…as I get info on score releases, I will pass them along as I can…most likely via Twitter, as I can update it via my phone.
Update 5/11/2009 – NASBA Updates Score Release Process…
Revised NASBA release prediction:
- May 17 – BEC
- May 15 – BEC actual NASBA release
- May 19 – AUD
- May 19 – AUD actual NASBA release
- May 20 – REG
- May 25 – REG actual NASBA release
- May 21 – FAR
- May 21 – FAR actual NASBA release
update 5/26/09 – (Two out of four ain't bad…)
update: AICPA released BEC earlier than expected…here's some bold prediction updates (reckless and not for the faint of heart…)
- May 14 – BEC
- May 15 – AUD
- May 18 – REG
- May 19 – FAR

When is the cutoff for Wave 1?
"When is the cutoff for Wave 1?" If the AICPA keeps with their historical cutoff, it's Thursday, May 7
i really hope your wrong about your predictions .. and I hope they give the FAR earlier... i will be crying if i get my score right before my birthday and i fail...
I understand about the weekend, but why is there two days between CA, VA & IL release and the NASBA release?
Oh no! Tell Joanne we will miss her!!
Hi Jeff, Do you know what's going on with cpanet the forum?? It's been down for two days and the only place I can think of is here to ask about it.
Mango - I too noticed it was down yesterday. I'll ask Brenda about it. Jeff
Im taking Audit on 5/7. I hope that I meet the cutoff date.
this website is so funny! I cant believe I didn't know about it. what a great way to avoid studying for AUD on Friday!
Do you know if May 7th is the last day of the first wave or the first day of the second wave? Or is May 8th the first day of the second wave? Thanks!!
I would say that Wave 2 starts May 8...but keep in mind that 25% (or so) of the Wave 1 people won't get their score.
I was told that there weren't any scores in the 70-74 range on the CPA Exam?... is this true?...
Sorry Denise. It's not true. Here are my last four audit results: 74,74,74 Yep. It sucks.
Joanne retiring!! HAPPY RETIREMENT!! From Chicago.
Denise: yeah! I got a 74 on my first FAR attempt! =( this site is called another71, so that should clear it up for ya.
Thanks for the info guys!... I just found this site last night... "74" truly does suck! Whenever I pass (nothing like positive thinking!) I want to look into the scoring of the CPA Exam. It seems so strange to me that those of us w/accounting degrees and backgrounds... and who study for the blasted exams can't get it passed! Definitely frustrating!!! YIPES!
Isn't weird how people react when you tell them you are studying / Sitting for CPA exam? Some with disbelieve and think ?you can?t make it?, the other with ?applaud?, the rest ?stand and to see what happen? I don?t know about you but I am thinking... I can't wait to get over it! and get my normal classy life back!
yo Jeff! I never sat for a CPA section so early, but I was wondering if this was normal. I sat for AUD on 4/7/09 and on the state board (CA) site, it still says: "AUD: Schedule/Attendance Pending." Can anyone from CA answer my question? Usually when I take it in the latter of the testing window, it will say AUD: Score Pending - Attended xx/xx/xxxx xx:xx:xx" Thanks in advance!
Hi lmb - latestmusicblog.com I'm in the same boat as you. Took BEC in CA on 4/6/09 but my status still says BEC: Schedule w/Prometric. My previous experience is that it will change to Attended: xx/xx/2009 Score Pending w/in a week. So yesterday I wrote to the board and got a reply in an hr. Here's their reply, hope this helps! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In response to your email, this is normal. There is often a delay from the time a candidate sits for the exam, and the time that sitting is visible in the client account. Approximately 10% of the time, the client account will go from Schedule with Prometric, or a similar message, to the actual exam score. We are aware of the issue. It has absolutely no effect on when a score will be released. Please keep in mind that you only have limited access to one of a number of computer systems involved in this process. It is easy to view that limited amount of information out of context. Sincerely, Stephen Cooley Examination Unit
Thanks DT! I really appreciate your response! I've never had this happened before, but your reassurance is wonderful! I hope you rocked BEC! AUD is my last one, so I'm just patiently waiting. What part of CA are you from?
Hi lmb - latestmusicblog.com : I never had this happened b4 either. That's why I was worried. On top of that, the check in computer system at my test center was down. So they took a POLAROID pix + INK thumbprint instead. I thot poloaroid film was extinct! haha Anyways, I'm from LA area.... BEC is my last one altho it's my 2nd attempt. Good Luck in AUD and hope we both get result in 1st wave! (I waited 1.5 month for REG last window!)
DT: that's awesome! I'm from LA area as well. Pasadena area specifically. Polaroid and ink thumbprint .. WOW! Interesting, I took REG last window as well! Hopefully we're done after this! How did you do in REG?
lmb - latestmusicblog.com: I live about 10 miles E of Pas...Do you go to the Glendale test center too?! I hate that bldg everytime I drive the 210 now, altho my hubby's work own that bldg...haha! I got 80 on REG which I was really, really shocked! I messed up on sims but suprisingly well on MCs. I've always worked in healthcare acctg, so I have no public acctg experience at all. But so far it's stable. My SIL got layoff recently from EY. But luckily they waited til she finished all her hrs so she can apply for her license now.
DT: Nice! I usually go to the testing center at Lake Forrest. It's far, but I've always passed when I went there. Call me superstitious! LOL! I got an 84 on REG! I'm looking for work. It's tough right now. I actually graduated with my BS in Accounting in May 2007. I took a break from school, did some studying for the CPA, and kind of got sidetracked on the way. My cousin from Tucson, AZ was diagnosed with a really rare and aggressive cancer in late May 2008. I pretty much put my life and career on hold and moved to AZ for a short while. I came back in October 2008 and started getting into study mode again. I'd visit once a month. In January 2009, she passed away. It was a hard time for me at the moment and I eventually got back into study mode. I'm just waiting on AUD results now. Sorry for rambling! I was wondering, do you know anywhere hiring at the moment? Thanks for listening, DT! (=
lmb - latestmusicblog.com: sorry to heard about the loss of your cousin :\ btw - is that your music blog or do u have an email there? Not sure if Jeff will appreciate us rambling on & on our lives here! haha

I just took AUD on 4/21/09. I am getting conflicting data on the waves. I took REG in Nov 08 and got my score (76) in Dec 08. I am trying to plan taking FAR and BEC by my "expiration" date. Do the waves mean if I take FAR in Jul 09 I should (hopefully) get my score in Aug 09?... or will it still be in Sep 09?... Any input would be helpful. Thanks
I take AUD in this past saturday 25 of april did I take in time for the first wave??
Eladio - 2nd comment on this page: Jeff - another71.com says: April 17, 2009 at 10:36 pm ?When is the cutoff for Wave 1?? If the AICPA keeps with their historical cutoff, it?s Thursday, May 7
I took REG today 04/27 and my last stimulation was very time consuming and complicated than the rest of the exam. I felt that 3 hours wasn't enough. They should give us extra hours for REG than for Audit.
I just took the FAR exam.. oh my gosh.. i know i failed.. that test was ridiculous.. i dont know whether to start studying for this test again.. or should i continue studying for th AUD part which is on the 14th... back to crying and the books
lmb - latestmusicblog.com : to answer to your previous question, sorrie but I dunno who's hiring at the moment. And unfortunately I've been asked that questions from friends lately too :\ Anonymous @ 311p : I agreed that REG should have more time than AUD! For AUD I had time to go back to each testlet and ea sim, took a pee break AND had 1/2 hr left over! What da heck?! Izabella: Move on to AUD! it will be a breeze compare to FARE! You prob did GREAT! :)
Izabella: I took FAR yesterday as well and I walked out of the test feeling like I definitely failed and wanting to cry knowing if I didn't pass this I'm going to loose my hard earned REG credit. I think this horrible feeling in my stomach is going to last until I find out my score. I'm not sure whether to keep studying or just wait. If I were you, since you already purchased the test, just study for AUD.
Thank you guys ! Thanks to Jeff this website keeps me sane!!
is it srupid that my hands are itching to check my score already and i just took the test on Monday.
I took the FAR on the 18th of April and I felt like I failed as I walked out of the exam, but I'm prepared for round 2 if it comes down to it. lol. The estimated release date is May 22 for FAR, but I'm taking BEC on May 28. With that being said, I won't check my score until I'm finished with BEC otherwise my confidence may take a hit.. The misery this exam brings upon us!
lmb - latestmusicblog.com : My status finally changed to BEC Attended: 04/06/2009
AUD Attended: 04/07/2009 11:26:00 (score pending). REG Score: 84 - Attended: 02/25/2009 12:54:00 same! thanks for the update! (=
lmb - leave the https:// off of your url...it won't get caught in the moderation cue and the link will still work.
Jeff: gotcha!
testing ..
it appends https:// itself and it goes through moderation regardless it seems.
The worst is taking the test in the beginning a a testing window. My first three exams I took 11/27/08, 1/27/09, and 2/28/09- and I got the grade back fairly timely- three to four weeks. I just took AUD on 04/11/09, and I feel like I've been waiting a lifetime for what could be (fingers crossed) my last part of this exhausting exam, in full knowledge that I still have to wait 3-4 more weeks for the grade. My advice to future CPA exam-takers- take the exam in the last week of the month. Surely this won't apply to everyone, but if you lose sleep over your exam grade, and you hate playing the waiting game- try taking the exam towards the last week or weekend in the testing month. Jeff you are awesome and your site has been helpful throughout this rigorous "waiting game."
Chris from Charlotte: yup, but with CPA, you want to take it when it's fresh in your mind. I took all my tests late except for this one late in the window as well and I took AUD on 04/07/09 and its my last one. I completely understand where you come from. I was so ready to take it early that I didn't want to wait in case of memory loss, so now i'm suffering and waiting now, but you're not alone!
Hello, love this website! I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether all tests taken in a window are released by the second wave? So for example, if I take a part in late May am I guarenteed to find out in the second wave (June) or is there a possibilty I still might not find out til July? Thanks!
Jen: If you take it in the April-May window, you'll get your results before the July-August window. So yes, you will get a score by July.
Well...I sat for FAR for the second time after I said I was going to throw in the towel after failing REG twice. I feel like a did great...although I put some serious hours (away from home) into studying for FAR. I walked out feeling pretty confident. I hope it doesn't bite me in the @$$.
no one has posted lately! i'm super anxious for wave 1 results .. where did everyone go??
So I'm scheduled to take my 3rd exam (AUD) the day after the score release for FAR is expected to come out! Who thinks I should look at the score the night before?! Or, just wait for the bad news after I take my AUD exam?!
Don't worry, everyone will show up again when it gets close to the prediction of the score release date.
I share your anxiety for wave 1 grades Imb.
im taking audit on the 14th.. Kind of wish i were taking it before wave 1 testing window closes....
taking audit Thursday - here's hoping my score is included in wave one!
I hope it goes well for you DM (and you're included in Wave 1!) -Jeff
Izabella - look at it this way...you're trading a 75% chance of getting your score in Wave 1 for an extra week of studying. Not a bad trade I'd say.
Okay I need to complain. I won't ever schedule an exam for the beginning of the window again. This is my first go-round. I took audit on April 3rd and this wait is hurting me. If May 20 is the predicted release date, and I'm scheduled for BEC on May 22, do you all suggest I look at my scores before I take BEC or wait until after? I don't want to psych myself out!
ADF - it doesn't matter what we recommend...you'll still look :)
I took my FAR for the second time 4/07/09. I am waiting now.
I take Audit on May 26. I just took FAR and feel like I passed because I put in the time this go around...but how does Audit stack up to FAR. Any suggestions on how to study for AUD? And different methods than FAR?
Taking FAR for the first time in 2 weeks and starting to freak out ... any words of advice?
PJ, Advice: Start to freak out more. The more you freak out, the better. You'll lose sleep, hair, & probably a few days off your life. Allow yourself to totally lose it. You will be consumed by the exam experience...completely comsumed. Of course, don't stop studying. Study while at work. Study while you eat. Study while you're in the shower. Study while you walk the dog. Then you will sit down in front of the cheap HP computer terminal at the testing center. You will start clicking on the cheap little mouse. And then you will think to yourself, "Gee, this isn't so bad. I shouldn't have freaked out so much!" And then, in the quickest 4 hours of your life, it will be over. You'll see.
Joey nailed it...
Joey, No offense, but that is the worst advice I have ever heard one person give to another person about this exam. Seriously, I hope that was an attempt at dry humor. PJ, it's really not that bad. This exam is different for everyone and what may cause one person to struggle may be a breeze for you. Just study as much as you think you need (that is, if you think you need to review something, don't talk yourself out of reviewing, just sit down and do it), and come test time, if you are prepared, you will have the same reaction that Joey specified and will still keep those few days you would lose under the above poster's plan. Stress to the point of burnout is one of the worst ways to approach this exam or anything major in life. If you stress yourself out, you won't be able to think straight then you will fail.
I think Joey was being facetious about freaking out...I could be wrong.
ADF... I'll tell you my little story. I took BEC in October and REG in November. I just knew I failed BEC and was annoyed with all the time I put in, so I was pretty half hearted studying for REG. The BEC scores came in 5 days before I sat for REG, so I checked to see how bad I did & I got a 78! That gave me the push I needed to heavily review REG.
Just took FAR on April 5th... For PJ: You shouldn't freak out, don't be afraid of the exam. I have taken FAR twice and the first time I went in fearing this exam and expecting defeat, and that's just what happened. You have to keep a positive attitude, but don't be over confident. FAR is a tough exam with a lot of material is less time, but it can be passed. And remember, even if you do fail, you can take it again. Just keep on studying and get some rest and pray like hell that the people you test with are idiots and there's a massive curve ;) Good Luck!
tomorrow is the 8th, i guess we're back to hitting refresh on our browsers soon! ;D
Why? Don't even bother checking your scores for at least another week.
Thanks for your help guys! This site is great! back to the books..
I actually think Joey was a hundred percent correct... I know how i freaked out for my test. Studied everywhere I went, everywhere I ate, even when I was sleeping (nightmares and dreams of material is not fun). Come the test and my response was "this is doable." My true opinion is not that the test is hard. It's not!!! The test is definitely doable .. the two things that get me crazy is 1) fininding the TIME to study and 2) retaining all the information that I just studied. Otherwise, the test could be much trickier than it is.. Much harder, and def ask more detailed question. All I can say is, Anyone can do this... Do not give up.. Definitely study.. If you dont have time to study, then find it... That is all i have to say.> Ok back to studying on my lunch break.
After I took Reg yesterday on the drive home the radio station played Tom Petty's song The Waiting... Now I wont be able to get it out of my head until I get my grade which will hopefully be on May 21...
Thanks for the kind words, Izabella. And, yes, I was joking about totally freaking out like a crazy person. But most of us do it....Look, a lot of time, effort, $$$ has been spent and a lot is at stake. Of course we're going to be nervous & possibly psyche ourselves out! Go ahead and FREAK OUT! However: keep your compass pointing North. My point earlier was that after all the drama, after all mind-bending expectations, it is just a test. And it really is not that bad. Once you are sitting in that testing center doing your thing, you will realize that the exam is not that bad...especially after all of the incredible build-up going into it. Trust me. I am veteran at these damn tests. And I have done a lot (a LOT) of freaking out over the past couple years. So go ahead & freak out. The more you do probably means you're serious about completing your mission of passing & getting licensed. And one day, hopefully soon, I will get there. And you will too.
YES, WE CAN!!!
I took Aud on april 1st, still waiting for the result. My sis had passed all her four parts, and all her test results came out in about one month after she took the exams. its been 38 days since i took the exam. does that mean my score is between 73-76? thats why it took so long to release my score? anyone?? thanks
Char - your sister must have sat for her exams at the end of the window, which is why she got all of her scores within a month. Example using last window: she sat for her exams in the last week of February and got her scores between March 15 - March 25 or so. You sat for your exam in early April...scores don't come out until mid-May or mid-June depending on if your score was made available in Wave one. Don't read into it at all...it's just how this process goes. G/L -Jeff
This is a great site-a support system indeed. I got my accounting degree and MBA from Asia 16 years ago. I quit my $120k/yr job a few months ago to study and sit for the US CPA uniform test. I know, I know!!!! But this is something I needed to do for my sake. Devoted 3 months to review for the 4 sections. Passed the 3( AUD, BEC, FAR) all in Feb of 2009-but failed REG of all sections. I thought I could easily pass REG-that's why I only devoted 60 hours of review time to it-10 hours more than I spent in BEC. After the REG test-I felt like I am going to have a nose-bleed. After the 3 MCQs, I only had an hour left for the 2 sims-needless to say, I didn't finish the 2nd sim. I took REG for the second time 1st week of May. But this time I came prepared. I used two materials, Wiley and BISK. The first MCQs and SIMS I took using these materials, i scored around 82%. The second time I retook the sample tests(2 days before my actual REG) test, I got 92 in almost all topics. The secret-knowing my mistakes in the tests is not enough. i had to know why I arrived at a wrong answer to minimize the likelihood of making the same mistake next time around. I am very optimistic I did well in the actual test. I finished the 3 MCQs within 1 hr and 12 minutes. I finished my 2 SIMS feeling good. If I don't pass REG this time around, then something's wrong with my head. I'll post an update after I receive my score. Good luck to all of us.
Teague719 congratulations on passing all three of the four.. if you feel that you passed Regs this time round -- then you definitely did. Keep us updated. And once again Congratulations!!!!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms out there! (=
Hey Jeff...you should limit the number of times someone is allowed to comment on here. I am sick of hearing lmb's BS.
Butch: It's nice that you're able to express your opinion on here, but I don't think there's reason to cause any feud on here. If there's any problem, you should e-mail Jeff about it and he can moderate the comments. I don't know what kind of "BS" you're referring to. Your last post can be portrayed by some people as "BS". We are all here to help each other on a common mission: to pass the CPA Exam! I wish you the best of luck on your route to CPA success!
I can't moderate lmb...I'm too busy keeping the pharmaceutical spammers off of here (over 1,000 spam comments). :) Classic posts like: "Nice site! I will add you to my rss feed and will consider reading further www.jekrejkremker.com/jdkfjdkfdf/djskdjskdjskds" "Oopsy - sorry for the post. www.jtreiurenkjdsnfmd.com/jrkjdkfmndfkdnf"
Haha, I feel you! That's what a site indexed on search engines and running WordPress does. Spammers at their worst. Their link building efforts are horrible!
When are you going to update your predictions? I read on cpanet.com that you will.. Are you as evil as NASBA for withholding valuable information?
Yeah seriously, post the update please!!
Sorry for the delay..."life" happened...writing the post now...
Thnx!
OMG Jeff! How long does it take to type? You are killing us!!!!
Yo shutup!!! if you piss him off he wont post the update. Go to sleep come back in a couple of hours jackoff
Nice comment. We are all anxious to hear the news. I am assuming someone with your skill set will be repeating sections over and over again.
haha, looks like he will do well in the communication section.
almost done :)
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Are you a hunt & peck typist? :)
You know the CPA exam is your life when you keep refreshing another71.com to see if you will receive your score result a day early...
Agreed! In addition, if you are on the east coast, you can't go to bed until it's updated.
ok - it's up...sorry for the delay...it should appear in the image scroller...
...and I hope it was worth the wait (gulp)
Please forgive us, Jeff. The waiting game is killing us!
It's up... https://www.another71.com/2009/05/nasba-updates-cpa-exam-score-release-process.html
Jeff, is CA score release follow this schedule?
CA/IL/VA scores remain unchanged...good question
Cool, so the updated NASBA prediction is a day early than origanally expected. I guess it's almost time to get back to keep pressing refresh.
BEC will post on Sunday??
Sunday night...I think so anyway...
The Sunday night posting of NASBA scores makes no sense. In the past, if IL got grades on Friday, NASBA uploaded them Monday morning. Now, it seems as though NASBA would post scores on Friday evening between 9 pm and midnight. At least that is how I interpret what you posted.
You're right...that doesn't make much sense...let me think about it more.
this is so confusing.. i am not understanding... i am so burnt out with studying that a simple shift in schedule is confusing me.. I just want my score. :(
Wow, I'm sitting at work and I just discovered this site. It's so nice to know so many others are out there freaking out about their scores too :) I'm rather new at this, first time through, I have AUD and REG down waiting to hear back on FAR (4/16/09) and have BEC at the end of the month. I didn't know they actually told anyone the dates for score releases, of course thats not going to stop the checking of the score releases every hour, just in case. I just read through a number of posts and got a few chuckles. Though I must say, waiting almost 3 months to find out my first 2 scores didnt help.
If that's the case, then now there's a possibility that we might receive our score on a saturday.
k...this is what they're shooting for (if my updated predictions contradict this, I'll change them later...) AICPA Thursday release = NASBA Sunday evening (11pm-ish) AICPA Friday release = NASBA Monday evening (11pm-ish)
I took Reg back in late April and I have to say that the first SIM was un-godly difficult. It was more of a FAR SIM as opposed to a REG one. The 2nd SIM was fairly basic. The 2nd and 3rd Multiple Choice question banks were also increasingly more difficult. I am pretty pissed about that first SIM and I will be really devestated if I fail because of it. Did anyone else encounter such nastiness when they took REG within the past month or so?
Jeff, Is the AICPA release date a day sooner than the IL release date? If not, that actually seems like it would be longer, not sooner. Example: Last window, the AUD results were posted by IL on Friday. NASBA posted the grades on Monday morning.
The AICPA release is the same as the Illinois/California release. When the AICPA releases scores...IL/CA/VA release the same day usually. The new formula is AICPA + 1 day (11pm-ish), except for Thurs/Friday AICPA release. ex: Illinois gets their score on Wednesday...NASBA Thursday night. Illinois gets their score on Thursday...NASBA Sunday night Illinois gets their score Friday...NASBA Monday night. Hope this helps..
Does anyone know any information for PA? Does PA follow the same schedule?
yes - PA - and all states who use NASBA for CPA Exam score relase will follow this...
I don't know how that is better. Old Way: IL scores released Thursday-NASBA Friday morning New Way: IL Scores released Thursday-NASBA Sunday night????? Old Way: IL scores released Friday-NASBA Monday morning New Way: IL scores released Friday-Nasba Monday night??????
Jeff, I took REG on May 7 at 11:30 AM. Barring it does not fall into the 25% that is reported in the second wave anyway, do I stand a good chance of receiving my score in the first wave. Meaning did I make the cut for the first wave. Thanks
old way: IL Thursday = NASBA Monday IL Friday = NASBA Tuesday
May 7 should be the cutoff, so you stand a good chance of being in Wave 1...G/L Joe
I hate to harp on this, but that isn't the way it worked last window. IL, CA and VA got AUD results on Friday, March 20. NASBA scores were not posted over the weekend. However, they were available early Monday, March 23. Why do you say a release to IL on Friday is NASBA Tuesday?
thank god im not the only one confused by this.... I think i get it now though.
Valid point on AUD...I went back and looked...Joanne e-mailed me on the 19th (Thursday) to tell me scores were coming out for AUD Friday...which leads me to believe that the AICPA actually released them on late Thursday night because they started popping up in California about 3am PST. AICPA Thurs = NASBA Sunday AICPA Fri = NASBA Monday ...is still a good rule of thumb.
I just came across this site yesterday, but it's great. I've passed three of the four parts. I took FAR on April 27th and I don't think I can wait until next week to get my score. I never knew all of this information before so it's nice to finally know that there's a system to the reporting. Before I would be checking all day everyday. I took BEC on Jan 5th and I checked everyday for almost 7 weeks. Thanks Jeff for this site. I'm not as stressed anymore. Hopefully I passed FAR and I can be done. I got a 74 on it the first time I took it.
This is so exciting. I had assumed the waves followed a monthly schedule and since I took BEC on May 5th I would have to wait until late June to get my score. Hopefully it won't be in the 25% not released.
If you have found the site to be loading slow - that's because there's a lot of people on right now (i.e. this time in the testing window). I've disabled some of the things like the video bar, cleaned up the side bar, and dropped the number of posts that appear on the front page. Hopefully you'll find that the site loads faster...let me know if you have any problems. Thanks again for reading, Jeff
This is such a great website with really good information. It's nice to see that I am not the only person out there stressing. I had 3 parts passed and could not pass BEC (72 on the last attempt) so I lost FAR at the end of February. I am a tax accountant so I drastically cut back on my hours during tax season so I could take BEC again on April 3rd (waiting for score now) because I knew I needed to take FAR again in May (scheduled for the 27th) because I lose REG on the 31st. It is extremely stressful to know that for the last almost 2 years I feel like all I have done is work and study and was so close to actual being a CPA. The only relief I see is that hopefully, fingers crossed, I passed BEC and will pass FAR in 2 weeks. If that is the case, at least then, I can stop studying until I find out my FAR results. The 18th is my birthday though, so if there is no good news, I would prefer to not receive my score then! This website is helping me to not lose all of my sanity while trying to become a CPA. I wish everybody the best of luck while waiting for their scores and studying.
I just took BEC yesterday! AHHH I already want my scores!! What are your predictions for Wave 2?? How long do people normally wait??? Is it possible that I could be in Wave 1???
I took BEC on Saturday the 2nd. I take Audit on Thursday May 21st...should I look at the scores before or after the audit exam? PS...I am in corporate accounting and auditing is a big blur to me!!!
chris, i don't think you can wait until the 21st, at least for me, i can't.
Yeah, I understand wondering if you should see your score prior to sitting (mindgames)...I have decided I can't wait so I am going to see my score before I take the test.
I have almost decided that I am going to look. If I don't, I think I will be focusing more on if I should look or not rather than cramming for audit.
I should be getting BEC back Sunday night...have AUD Monday at noon...you better believe I'll be checking my BEC score before taking AUD.
BEC was released by the AICPA tonight...CA/IL/VA/(TX?) should get their scores tomorrow...NASBA on Friday pm??
wow.. a lot sooner than I expected. should I be concerned now that my score won't get released in the first batch if I waited until the predicted last day of the first window?
Jeff, If you look at JAN/FEB 09 Wave 1 -- AUD was release by Illinois Thursday the 19th, and was Released by NASBA Friday Early AM. You are saying that now instead of Friday Morning it will be Friday night? I think instead it would be late Thursday PM. Previously, they would both receive scores on a day, Illinois system would update real-time, but NASBA had to run a batch update early in the AM. With the new way, aren't they changing it so it runs 6 hours earlier? So it would be late Thursday PM? Just how I am understanding the new system.
I asked Jeff the same question yesterday. It seemed that with EVERY Illinois release in the last scoring window,both waves, NASBA updated the next business day.
Okay, I know I'm not the only one, but waiting for the score is killing me. I can't sleep for over a week now, when the release date get closer, my situation is even worst!
I don't know if you were around last window or not, but if you were, you may recall that IL had problems with their IT system and they were delayed. old way: CA + 2 days new way: CA + 1 day...and then come out around 11pm CA doesn't post online updates to the public like IL does, but CA candidates will let us know when scores come out for sure.
updated score predictions (reckless and not for the faint of heart) * May 14 - BEC * May 15 - AUD * May 18 - REG * May 19 - FAR
Are those NASBA predictions, Jeff?
CA + 1 day, does it mean CA's REG release on May 19?
So AUD will be released on 19th May NASBA???
Those are NASBA...please don't hold me to that...it's an aggressive schedule reflecting that fact that NASBA is trying to expedite the process and get scores out ASAP...they just have a few more hoops that they have to jump through b/c they represent so many state boards. If NASBA releases BEC tomorrow night, I won't be shocked...that's all I'm saying...don't hate me for saying that though if it doesn't happen...if I were a betting man, I'd say it's 40/60 Thursday/Friday pm. (I hope this is helpful...I'll keep what I'm thinking to myself if it causes anxiety or frustration if it doesn't happen :) )
No BEC scores yet, so maybe tomorrow (Friday)!!!
I got my BEC scores (Washington State). I passed. I am finally free!
So for states like SC that are rteleased thru NASBA, REG comes out on 18th morning or 17th night?
If says Error: No Score Found at this point, does that mean my score hasn't been released? Do you think they changed the cut off for Wave 1?
chris, what state are you
Toni, watch your mouth. hahahah
BEC out in CA.
Why can't New Mexico be early like the other states?
TN
Remember - NASBA is posting scores in the evening now...it *could* happen tonight (11:30pm-ish Central). I know that they're trying...
Rajneet, don't hold me to this but I think we will get our Wave 1 BEC scores tomorrow around 5am. I think we are usually a day or two behind IL and CA and they always are processed overnight and show up to us in the early morning.
I take REG on Monday so hopefully I either get my BEC score by Saturday morning or after my test on Monday... I don't think I could bring myself to look at it on Monday morning!
No scores yet for IL
how did washington state get their scores then?

Good luck on REG....if you dont have the BEC score by Monday morning, look before you go in or else you will be wondering about it all through the REG exam.
AUD is out in Deleware!
"AUD is out in Deleware!" Delaware releases through NASBA...and you spelled your own state wrong. :)
Got my BEC score in IL. Passed with 75. No more exams yippie...Update on website says there is no score released yet. But when i signed into account my score is there.
is Butch being mean and lying?
If AUD is out today from NASBA, does REG come out tomorrow?
I believe Butch is lieing
Maybe if we can get more confirmations from DEL or other NASBA states?
Yes - Butch was playing a practical joke...
Hopefully BEC will be out TN by tonight or tomorrow morning!! TN releases through NASBA
Butch isn't from Delaware anyway. Any more jokesters will lose their posting rights until score releases are over...it's not fair to people waiting for scores... :(
Refresh state/NASBA website and tension kick in.
BEC out in CA! Passed with a 76!
Hi, I took FAR in 4/11. I think I did well on the multiple choice test lets but I did not have enough time to fully complete the sims. I could only write the memo and do the research in both sims. What chances do I have to pass FAR? Regards,
In in VA waiting for Audit. It's my last exam and the suspense is killing me! I'll post as soon as I get my score...assuming they don't hold back my exam until the next wave.
Hi all, Does scoring high really matters in CPA or just passing score is enough..I scored 77 in both far and bec..My husband is very eager to know about it..Can anyone help me out with this.
Hopefully we'll have AUD scores soon, then. I've passed FAR, waiting on my AUD score, and will sit for REG in two weeks. Any words of advice for REG? It's really intimidating me...
Your CPA score isn't like your college GPA...it's not normal for people to ask you what your scores were. There is no difference between a 75 and a 95...a CPA is a CPA.
I want 300 points, no more and don't need anymore than 300 to be a CPA!!
It seems like scores on the CPA exam only matter in two regards: 1. You passed OR 2. You passed and received the Elijah Watts Sells award. I had an instructor in my accounting class that scored one of the highest scores on the exam in early 2000's. She was featured in the Washington Post, yada, yada, yada, and after only a few years, made partner at her firm. Of course, she was wicked smart and incredibly driven, which may be the bigger deciding factor in her success. My husband gets hung up on the score too, but that's because he's in a world where 75=C, not 75=cause for serious celebration.
tell your husband that he should take you to a nice steak dinner for getting your 75! what does your husband do? If he has nothing to do with accounting, he will never understand.
California BEC released. I passed w/ 86!! :) Thx everyone and another71 for the site.
75 = "A" in cpaexamland
I am having the nicest dinner of my LIFE once I'm done with all these exams!
Nice job MrZod and everyone else getting their passing BEC scores today
Thanks Guys..I Hope all these responses will make my husband happy about my scores.
I can't think of a single educational background (unless they've been to medical school...but even then they'll be hiring a CPA to minimize their tax exposure) that would give someone the wherewithal to look down their nose at a 75 on the CPA Exam. Look at it this way: 50-55% of people get an "F" each window.
what does your husband do? unless he is a CPA or passed the BAR with a ridiculous score tell him to zip it and throw him in the doghouse
anyone in florida get their score yet?
Hey Jeff, I know this is a little irrelevant right now since Wave 1 scores are in full swing, but I'm wondering if there are any prelimineray rough release date projections for Wave 2? Thanks!
Kentucky received BEC today....
does this mean that AUD scores (NASBA) will be out tomorrow? Waiting in MASSACHUSETTS here....
"I know this is a little irrelevant right now since Wave 1 scores are in full swing, but I?m wondering if there are any prelimineray rough release date projections for Wave 2?" It will probably be similar to Jan/Feb Wave 2...I'll publish a post in about 2 weeks or so... https://www.another71.com/2009/02/cpa-exam-score-release-predictions-janfeb-window-wave-2.html
re: "does this mean that AUD scores (NASBA) will be out tomorrow?" BEC scores will likely be out tomorrow via NASBA...*some* chance it could happen tonight. We'll see when the AICPA releases AUD...everything hinges on that.
This is definitely repetitive, but in your conversations with the AICPA recently have they confirmed when scores are released? Meaning- If BEC is up for NASBA tomorrow AM or PM, then does that automatically mean scores for AUD wont be up until Monday? I wasnt sure if they clarified whether scores are posted at all on the weekend (either saturday morning or not) THanks!!! anxious.........cross the fingers and toes
The AICPA releases scores on the weekend...and NASBA runs their processes 7 days a week. If the AICPA releases on a Saturday though, NASBA is closed and some of the things that they have to do won't happen until Monday with a hopeful Monday pm release. That's my current understanding of the process, anyway.
Hi Jeff, I have a question.... On Kentucky's website when I log in to look at the BEC scores that posted today, it says "The latest exam section scores available in this application are 4/24/2009". Do you think that this means that the cutoff for Wave 1 is 4/24/09? I am waiting on FAR. I sat on 4/27....I was really hoping to be in the Wave 1 release. Thanks!
So basically if ILL/CA scores for AUD are out tomorrow then there is a chance for NASBA AUD scores this weekend....crazyy
Hi All. Great site. I took BEC for the second time (73 first time) on April 9 and am eagerly awaiting my scores here in Texas. I am a bit confused by the comments from some people who indicate that they are getting their scores off of the NASBA site. Where is the quickest place for me to find out my score - NASBA or the Texas State Board Site?
Got 78 on BEC in CA!! All done with studying! yey!! Thank you Jeff for this fabulous site and letting us blow off our stress here!
I am so happy for you DT! I have a terrible feeling that I failed BEC again. I can't seem to get motivated to start studying for REG until I know my BEC score. Unfortunately I am not one of those people where I pick up things intuitively. I studied and studied and studied both times. I think that I will really be crushed if I failed. Anyone have an answer to my question on the best place to check scores? The only place I know of is the Texas State Board Site. Does NASBA have Texas scores too?
Congratulations DT! (=
Jeff, 1st Wave That would suck if the cutoff was April 24th for the 1st wave of scoring. Is that really the case? I took BEC on May 6th to in hopes of getting a score in the first wave. Has anybody received a score that took the exam later than April 24th?
Wave 1 has been the 7th day of Month #2 since I've been tracking it...if you sat April 24th - no worries. With that said - something else might cause you to be Wave 2...but not your testing date as far as I know.
I'll be up at midnight with a stogie and a beer ready to receivith my grade! If it doesn't come, I'm prepared either way!
I bet you start earlier than midnight :)
I sat for BEC on Apr 30th and I have received my score
I bet you're right. I'll be back here after midnight!
Are scores continually released throughout the day for states that have not received them? Or is it a situation, where if my state does not have a score yet, I am going to have to wait until late tonight/tomorrow.
I'm in Arizona, and we can't view the scores online. Any idea how long it takes after the scores have been released to receive them by mail?
Hi all - Congrats to all who have found out they passed! I'm wondering if anyone knows why they release the scores in the same progression. I can understand BEC first, but why the others in the same order each time? Thanks, and again congrats!
Jeff, When do you think AUD will be released for TX?
"""Any idea how long it takes after the scores have been released to receive them by mail?""" I am in NC and we cannot view scores online either. Last time I got results in mail the following day after release. Good luck.
I can't believe they started releasing scores already. Can't wait to see my Reg score on Monday.
I am in Mississippi and we also receive our scores by mail. For FAR, I got my scores 4 days after release day.
looks like the state of illinois has just updated their website to show scores will be released on Monday. Hopefully based upon all of the above feedback the scores will be released earlier
hypnochick - I think you're sticking some text in the URL portion of the comment box that's throwing your comments into moderation...I have to do this to keep the spammers with viagra sites from going wild on here.
update: NASBA BEC scores should be out TONIGHT (i.e. this evening around 11:30 pm central)
Is the problem corrected now?
yep :)
Jeff - when you say NASBA BEC scores, does that mean that the scores can be obtained off of the NASBA site for all states? Sorry, I just started accessing your site and perhaps I am asking a dumb question. I obtained by score off the Texas State Board Site last time and was wondering if there is a quicker way to get the score.
Unfortunately - TX releases independently of NASBA, so you're at their mercy. In the past, TX has been faster than NASBA, but not this window it looks like.
thanks for the info! I'll just keep checking the site... trying not to do it more than every half hour - ha ha ha:)
Jeff, You knew when NASBA received BEC from the AICPA. Will you know when they receive REG, and will you update us?
Absolutely!
So if I don't hear you say that NASBA has REG scores, then it is pointless to check for my grade?
Jeff, do you think REG for CA will come out on Sunday midnight?
Looks like I'm the wrong LA - Louisiana, not Los Angeles. Still waiting for BEC score. So much for sleeping tonight.
Is there still a chance of seeing Audit scores tomorrow night? Any updates/info on Audit is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I agree with Sally, I am waiting for AUD in NY (nasba)!! Whats best case scenario/worst case scenario (assuming im in 1st wave of course)
I'm waiting on AUD for New Mexico...:)
Hi, I'm new to this site, and I'm waiting for FAR in CA. How do I check for my results once the scores are released? Do I check from the NSABA.org site? or my state's accountancy board site? Thank you
I'm waiting for AUD in NY as well! I experience a mini coronary every time I check the NASBA site...
waiting on audit for SC... it's only my first one. FML
Took FAR the 3rd time...on 04/08. CA. It looks like the score will be released just in few days. Kinda nervous...
Yes! Let's keep up the Audit talk and I'm sure when Jeff checks the site he'll update us!!
Oy! I can't wait till 12:30 already, New York Time. Central is 1 hour behind?
Yes hopefully all the BEC ppl got their scores and now audit is up next?! I am dieing for my AUD score!!!!!!!!!!
i know my section ID# better than my birthday already
Please O' Lord just PASS me.
Would you give up a body part to pass all the 4 parts of the cpa exam? Like a pinky or something? or something inside like an Appendix maybe?
You don't really need an appendix do you? Goodbye Tonsils!
In the Illinois Board of Examiners webpage it says that the cut-off for Wave 1 is from April 1 through May 8, 2009. Is that true for the other states?
Yes jason it for all states. Unfortunately you are in wave 2. I work for the AICPA and we withheld your score for additional review. Please check for your score in the 3rd week of June. Dont bother checking before. Sorry buddy, keep truckin
Anybody from TN gotten BEC scores today? I took mine April 8 and nothing is showing up for me.
Is that so. What's my state?
I'm new to this site and really enjoy reading all the feedback (much more enjoyable than studying-LOL). For the TX folk, I called the State Board today and they said they have already started releasing BEC. I sat for REG April 16 (my first attempt at the exam-excluding a very pitiful attempt 13 years ago) and asked them when REG would be released but of course they said they did not know. They did say they would send an email when scores are posted...
Try to chill.... Santa won't be here for another few hours. I'm chilling out waiting for my BEC score by watching REG videos - test is next Thursday.
Nan-I'm just the opposite-waiting on REG scores, studying for BEC-taking it same day your taking REG.
12:00PM BEC release in Eastern time? Can't wait...first attempt in BEC, hopefully when I check, there will be a MAGIC number. Please don't be another71 or 74.
Good luck to both of us. With the schedule moved up at least you'll know for sure about REG when you walk into BEC. I hate uncertainty. I'd rather know, whether or not the news is good. So here's to good news....
is there a possibility that FAR scores for IL will be posted over the weekend, or is there any idea when it will post.
I haven't received any more updates since I was told NASBA was releasing BEC tonight...
Studing for BEC while waiting for REG and Audit... after checking a 100 times today now, I know my Section ID by heart as well. BEC is too much Info. bla bla bla ....(which I wonder if we able to use/apply it in the real world) Now, I know what some of you guys were saying ...
I'm studying for BEC as well as waiting on REG and AUD! I'm sure checking this site and my score page every 5 minutes is slowing me down a bit!
Is anyone else anxious for 12:30am est? I know I have been checking the NASBA website like 2-3 times a day like a fool since say.. the day after the exam ..
I am not exactly sure I believe people are going to get their score at night. But if Jeff said so then..
Hey guys! Did you see me beat the celtics tonight? Im a beast!!
Troll
Is anybody else watching the clock tick by waiting for BEC?
I am .. refreshing every 5 minutes..
I read above that AUD could be released tonight? Is that on the NASBA website as well as the state board website? I'm a CA resident, and I don't believe we can check our scores through NASBA. Thoughts? Thanks Jeff - Great site!
i'm refreshing the screen every couple of minutes too. i am getting so anxious i think i have to puke. Good luck to all. I hope we get the scores we want so we can party tonight!
Hi Jeff, Do you know when we'll be getting scores in GA? Waiting for FAR score.
I haven't gotten any e-mails about AUD...sorry guys. As for the other sections...it's looking like early next week.
Jim - Where did you read that AUD could be released tonight?? That would be awesome!
gonna be a long night. I can't even imagine having to retake this BEC a 4th time. I got 70 the last 2 times. Please not another 70.
Are you not on DST? Would I have to wait to hours to reach this 11:30 you speack of?
As I understand, per Jeff the scores will be released at: 12:30 am EDT 11:30 pm CDT 10:30 pm MDT 9:30 pm PDT
This is B----rootal. I figure it this way, the only way I will get to sleep tonight is if the grades DO NOT come out. If they come out and I pass I'll be too pysched to sleep. But if they come out and I fail, I'll be too pissed to sleep.
Anybody want to play some poker?
Sure. I'll play. But we have to pause every 60 seconds to check if the scores are out.
I am ill from checking the Texas State Board Web Site for my BEC grade for the last 4 hours, every thirty minutes on the hour. Help please! I am so ready for the torture to be over so that I can get on with REG. I am stuck in pergatory until I get this grade. I am a new CPA exam taker. I took BEC for the first time 2/23 and the second time on 4/09. I graduated 5th in my class with a 3.86. This exam has made me feel so dumb. How do people with families and stressful full time jobs handle this! I am eagerly waiting for the Texas results. Any one still up and suffering too?
AHH . Waiting for BEC in NY... Most horrible feeling ever.. Every time I click refresh , my heartrate speeds up
17 mintues till we get our scores...*fingers crossed*
15 minutes till BEC ...
I am here waiting on scores as well. 11:30 cannot get here soon enough.
12 minutes...
k...I'm starting an internet radio show on the CPA Exam...if you would like to be a part of this disastrous first show - call: (347) 324-3652 The show starts at 12:30 EST (in 11 minutes) ... call with questions/comments/whateva
Are you refer to BEC or AUD?
Where do we listen to the show?
dunno yet...in theory - I will upload it to itunes at a podcast...if the thing even records, lol
hypnochick, After what I've been through in my life, waiting for this is a breeze. I'm your "family person with stressful job" person. And I'm 50 years old and taking these exams for the first time. Passed 2, hopefully 3 tonight, on the first try.
5 minutes.
3 minutes...holy smokes I think my heart is gonna pop outta my chest!
3 minutes.
Nan-Me too! Except I'm 37. Thought I was the only crazy one out there doing this at my age....I have a 6 & 10 year old and my own bookkeeping business-I was a stay at home Mom for 10 years and couldn't wait to get back into the "working" world again, but now I'm wondering-what was I thinking???? Actually, I'm only working if I can work for myself, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this....But I'm like you-been through a lot, but still anxious to know my score. I commend you on your first two exams-I bet you did just fine on the part your waiting to here about!
Hypnochick, I'm also waiting for my BEC scores. Took it April 3rd. I wish the Texas board would get on the ball!
Donna, you're not the only crazy one, count me in! I'm 36 with a 6 & 7 year old, I work full time and really want to be a stay home mom... waiting for my REG result which will not be available until next week. This weekend will be long...
SOMETHING is happening. I can't get the scores of the two sections I passed, but earlier this evening I could. GRRR... kids. My 20-yr-old was downloading something massive and tying up all the network bandwidth. Just shut her down.
BEC is out for Colorado - 83 for me!!!
Does Colorado release scores through NASBA? If so, that means we'll get our scores any minute now. Good luck all!!!
yes I believe!!!!
Thanks for bringing the site back up Jeff. For the past hour I was able to get any website but this one. How do you do this and work a day job, too? BTW, it's after 1AM in Louisiana and still no scores here. I wonder if the locals have gone home for the night.
congrats to the person who scored 83 from colorado.
Any ideas when the MN scores will be out? I am checking the NASBA website impatiently...
Update: No BEC score as of 6:05am EDT (FL)
Jeff.. do you think that certain NASBA releasing states will not release until tonight or possibily early Saturday?
Is NJ part of the NASBA score release? I keep checking for BEC but no luck yet.
7:05 am .. still no score for FL.
7:11am no score for BEC for NY too, I guess it will be out by this weekend but the wait is Horrible..
Nothing yet in Louisiana. CPANet has some people posting this morning that they got their scores, but I don't know where they are.
Put together a chart based on what I have seen: No Scores as of 7:15 FL, LA, NY, NJ Scores as of 7:15 CO, CA, TX
no score for AUD in NM either...:(
Would like to clarify that is a BEC chart.
thats a real impressive "chart" ryan
Hi Nan, Donna and CA! I passed with an 82 on BEC here in Texas. Life is good! I'm glad to hear that I am not the only "mature" person who decided to take on this punishment. I'm 41 and absolutely stressed out of my mind. This news, does, however, mean that I will have a great weekend and now be able to concentrate on studying for REG. I thought that I absolutely nailed the first test and came up short with a 73. On the second attempt, I was sure that I failed it and came up with an 82. Unbelievable. Time to put the ocd score checking behind me! Have a great weekend everyone.
Donna & Nan, You are not alone. I am almost 39 years old and the mother of five-18,14,13,11,8, I felt "unfinished", so I started college in 2004. Next thing you know, I graduated in 2008 and went from working part-time nights to full-time days. I thought it would be more "fulfilling." I don't know what I was thinking. Now I get to add the stress of studying for this test onto a crazy schedule and a full-time job. Honestly, I should have just left well enought alone. Nobody had any expectations of me when I was the uneducated, stay-at-home mom of five children. Now, I can't go back. Here's hoping we all pass the sections we are waiting for so we can be that much closer to being done!!!
I am 33 soon to be 34 with twin 14 year olds with a FT job and a hubby to nag all while studying...wish me luck for REG on Monday. I am waiting for some great AUD results.
I am with you, 33 with a preg wife and a 1 and a half year old. In VA waiting on AUD and sitting for REG in 2 weeks, already got through FAR and BEC.
No BEC scores in TN yet....
No BEC scores in GA yet either.
Hi I gave BEC on 9th April 2009... I cant view my score .. Is the BEC score out for CO board
Just hounded the VA aicpa - only BEC out and since their website is down if they dont get anything by the end of today then its a wait until Monday if released over the weekend.
Like Tom Petty said, "the waiting is the hardest part"!
No score for BEC in NJ either
Any scores up for CT?
Wow, it's nice to know there are so many other "old folks" doing this. I'm 37 with a 14- and 1-year old (yeah, I know), full-time job and one heck of an understanding wife. Waiting on FAR, my first section, taking AUD 5/23.
so basically we all have to wait until Monday night or tuesday morning...they wont upload anything sunday night....
For VA the person I spoke with said they only get an email saying they are out and at that point they have access. Once that happens we can call at any point.
I am waiting on REG and take BEC tomorrow. I sat for REG on April 11 and would really like to know my score before I take BEC. I passed FAR and AUD and received my scores in 3 weeks. I should have know it would be to good to be true on the REG grade....... waiting is the hardest part!
Jeff, You are stupid. I woke up at 6am for my score. Thanks for nothing loser.
We really can't predict whether Audit, Financial, or Reg will be next after what happened last wave. I wonder if the AICPA did that just to show Jeff and all of us that we are its b____es!
To the person who called Jeff "stupid," you are a moron and need your behind whipped.
jeff, Any idea when Aud will be released in TX?
Nice. You know, if you don't appreciate the trouble Jeff goes to, even though he's finished with the exam, maybe you just shouldn't waste your time on his site. The rest of us appreciate everything he does. Even when his psychic abilities are not perfect.
I agree, lets not get into calling names, we all know waiting is the hardest part and it is frustating but people please let us hang on tight and use restraint before blaming anyone!
For the person who posted at 7:24: If you don't like the site, then dont come here. There are so many people who do and appreciate so much what Jeff does.
I am one that does appreciate Jeff. Jeff, THANKS for your help!!
"You are stupid. I woke up at 6am for my score. Thanks for nothing loser." You woke up at 6am for your score? That's sleeping in on score release day!
fyi...NASBA loaded them last night, but it didn't "go"...NASBA IT people are working on it...got an e-mail this morning. I know it's frustrating, but at least they're trying to align score releases as close to CA/IL as possible...got to give them credit for that. Try to cut them some slack while they work out the kinks.
Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.
Can we get a revised prediction for everything sometime today??
Thanks for the update Jeff!
THey (NASBA) are uploading BEC today- so no AUD/REG/FAR till next week definitely?? Updated predictions too?
Old scores aren't showing either. I figured something was up when I couldn't even get those.
Glad to see you let that dumb comment roll right off you Jeff. Dont mind the 1, there always has to be
Shouldn't IL and CA receive the scores some time today for the next (mystery) section ?
Good Morning Jeff, Did you get any sleep? Prepping the exams is bad enough. I couldn't imagine running a high-demand website like this one and working a day job at the same time. You're awesome. Still no BEC score posted for Louisiana.
I want FAR :( at least they moved it up. Of course that just means they might move it up again, so I must keep checking..... Arg!!
If the AICPA graders are anything like the people here at my workplace, they take about 10 smoke breaks per day, which would explain why this process goes on and on and on....
How about AUD In TX?
Jeff, "NASBA loaded them last night, but it didn?t ?go??NASBA IT people are working on it?got an e-mail this morning. I know it?s frustrating, but at least they?re trying to align score releases as close to CA/IL as possible?got to give them credit for that. Try to cut them some slack while they work out the kinks." Did they say any idea of if that means they might have scores out today (a mid-day release)? Or will they try again tonight, or anything else about a release time?
I've never seen Jeff even allude to this, but there is a "DONATE" button at the top of the page. If you have anything to spare after paying for the exams and review courses, you might consider sending a "Thank you" to Jeff for this website.
I second that. I emailed him saying he should advertise it but he 'felt bad'. I think the small donations will easily tally.
"I second that. I emailed him saying he should advertise it but he ?felt bad?. I think the small donations will easily tally." He obviously does that with the "discounts" he gives you guys for Yaegar. See above in the top right. Yes, you are getting a small discount, but by inputing discount code, its another way to determine how many referals he brings in for them and he gets a cut of every referal. So please don't feel sorry.
No BEC scores for MA yet
"Miller Time" is the same person who called me stupid and a loser a few posts ago...lol.
Nan - you're awesome!...I really appreciate your contribution. -Jeff
Jeff, so are we thinking that AICPA gets scores out today?
I will make a donation if Jeff can tell me when Audit is getting released. :) D
Dunno if it gets released today ~ but if I get an e-mail about it, I'll certainly pass it on. **if I had to guess - I would say YES, but that's just me thinking that since it released Wednesday...2 days later for the next one seems about right.**
Jeff - Do you think BEC scores will be released sometime today for NASBA states or do we have to wait until 11:30 CST to check the website again?
"?Miller Time? is the same person who called me stupid and a loser a few posts ago?lol." Erroneous.
Jeff, This site is a waste of time. I could build a website and make bogus claims about when test results are going to come out but i actually have a job which requires doing work and not picking numbers out of a hat and hoping they prove to be true. Though I commend your efforts, I have been sorely disappointed in your ability to follow through on your predictions. I liken you to the guy who works at traveling carnivals and guesses peoples weight before they step on the scale...purely nothing more than a sideshow. Best of luck in all your future predictions.
Interesting
I hope angry CPA trips, falls down a manhole and drowns in a pool of sewage.
Angry cpa - is that really called for? No one asked for your opinion.
Whens PA BEC coming out???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ignore the Troll, (s)he's just bored. FAR anyone?
As Angry CPA's twin, let me assure you someone pissed in his cheerios this morning.
@ Angry cpa and all the other negative people What is with all of the Jeff bashing? If you check the posts on this thread and those of previous waves and you will see he often is correct. Now, when I say correct, I mean he is reasonably close. He may not have hit it on the exact day but, he gave you a frame of reference. Without his predictions, I'd probably be submitting from the time I finish the exam until the scores get released (whenever that may be). So, how about a little appreciation for the perspective he does give you. Think of where you would be otherwise. As for the donations / ad revenue... of course he needs to make some money. The guy is done with the CPA exam and has to pay for this website to keep it running. I say it is only fair that he receive some income (he probably is lucky to break even) for the work he puts into this. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the AICPA for running the most ridiculously complex and confounding certification program out there.
Waiting for Aud in CA. I've refreshed several times and nothing! btw, thanks Jeff for all that you do! I am so glad I found this website! It has def. helped me keep my sanity!
OK, who's drunk at this hour of the day?? Sure sounds like at least a couple of you are. Let's keep it cool. One day...maybe one day, we'll ALL be professional CPAs. In the meantime, I'm awaiting a FAR score. Good Luck to the rest of you over the weekend!
Ahha - right on!!!

I'll put you down as a "maybe" for a donation.
waiting in PA for BEC also!
So when is BEC going to be released.....I see like 5 different dates...is it today, tonight or tomorrow?
"I?ll put you down as a ?maybe? for a donation." Haha, thats great. You're awesome Jeff!!!
My bowels are all upset waiting for BEC in PA as well...
Jeff, you are the man!! This site is awesome. Those people that have nothing good to say about you are just pissed that they didnt think of this first. they probably havent even passed the exam anyways...just bitter towards you because it seems like you have a good life!!
Have any PA/Nebraska/Vermont takers emailed/called the NASBA coordinator, Nan Buchanan, yet to see if she has an update?
Anyone call anyone to see if there has been any updates on score releases?!!!!
Just talked to the Texas State Board and they said Aud scores won't be out until probably the beginning of June. Those waiting for BEC, they still don't have those scores yet either.
Anyone happen to talk to the Georgia Board? This is starting to sound like it may take a while after all.
I've worked in IT long enough that I understand, all too well, when there is a system failure. Everyone is SOOOO accustomed to having instant real-time updates, and when a system crashes (as apparently happened with the NASBA score updating last night) nobody has any patience. When you're still troubleshooting a problem, it's impossible to say how long the fix will take. And even when the primary failure is fixed, you may still have to re-load the software and databases, and THEN you have to do data integrity verification before bringing the system back on line. Things were a lot more peaceful when scores came in the mail, and the mail truck only came once a day. That said, I'll just stick my nose back into my REG book and wait for an update. Hopefully Jeff's NASBA contact will e-mail him when they have a new projected score posting time.
'As for the donations / ad revenue? of course he needs to make some money. The guy is done with the CPA exam and has to pay for this website to keep it running.

Nice to see a Pearl Jam reference...
This site helped me through all those difficult times, please don't criticize it. If you don't like it, just don't visit here. Jeff, thanks for all your time and hard work!
Jeff, Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get you down. I don't personally know Jeff, but I do know he is working his butt off to help others even after he passed the exam. How many of you out there think you will be this dedicated to helping others after you are finished with this grueling exam??? Just a little shout out from a fellow Topeka native. :)
Hi Jeff, Any chance of you publishing your Reg notes you compiled when you got your brillant 92, my brain is taxed out looking at all these exceptions. D
Hey Stephanie. I am from Texas and I got my scores for BEC. I passed - yippppeeeeee. Not sure why you were told scores aren't posted. Maybe only posted for some test takers. Hey Jeff - You're AWESOME! Your efforts are greatly appreciated! Mr. Angry CPA - go be angry somewhere else.
I sure hope NASBA didn't screw this thing up worse by tinkering with the IT stuff. And why in the heck has AICPA not released the 2nd section yet ? They always fart around with this thing....never fails !! So they released BEC early; that is not good enough; BEC is easy to grade. And that reminds me, I'm glad the AICPA Rep. gave Jeff answers to many questions, but that the guy gave some cocky answers that kind of ticked me off. For instance, he said, "there is no curve and each score is independent of other candidates." That is complete horse puckey, and he knows it is. Pschometrics is a form of a curve. It has everything in the world to do with the performance of the group.
re: REG notes I can do that...they're hand-written right now and I gave them to a friend who took REG this window. When I get them back, I can type them out. My notes are from the tax portion...for law/ethics, I just used the Yaeger handout (didn't even use the Wiley book for that part). Hopefully you aren't sitting for REG soon ...
I agree, this is a tremendously helpful website. I don't understand how people can get upset at Jeff for not nailing the score releases perfectly. It does say score release "predictions" at the top. By the way, nothing in NY yet. I'm waiting for Aud and Bec.
btw - if people want an avatar other than the blue thing...they can get it at gravatar...
Looks like nothing would be released in TX till early next week :(
Hi Jeff, Any news about BEC coming out this afternoon? Great site keep up the terrific work.
I wonder why the people (your sources) at the AICPA and IL State board of Accountancy do not chose to communicate the results directly to the CPA Candidates (their customers) who have paid them fees and instead prefer to leak little tidbits to you.
Unless NASBA fixes the IT thing and runs the process this afternoon - I doubt you see it before tonight. NASBA likes this site and has gone out of their way to keep me informed via e-mail so if something happens, I bet they'll e-mail me and I'll pass it on asap...
Hopefully you aren?t sitting for REG soon ? May 27TH. Is that too soon???? Can you set yourself as a charity so my donation will be tax deductible?? D
In CO waiting for AUD, nothing yet... submit...submit...re-enter data...submit...
"Looks like nothing would be released in TX till early next week." I got my passing BEC score this morning. (3 for 3 in 3 months!)
Why is it that the Illinois Board gets info. from the AICPA Team regarding the cutoff date (i.e. May 8) but never gets info. on the ORDER of releases after BEC. Noone can convince me that they don't already know. Jeff, is your prediction of Audit being 2nd based on history, or do you get an inkling from a source ? Thanks.
When are you going to buyout cpanet? Can I still get in on the groundfloor? D
Jeff, do you think I should stop pressing refresh for my AUD scores in CA? I'm at work and havent been able to work much anxiously waiting for my score! And of course laughing at all the posts...
So are there still chances that BEC posts tonight ( if not before ) or its Monday now ?
Vicky: I'm wondering the exact same thing as you!
since BEC isnt out on NASBA today, is it safe to assume AUD wont be out until at least monday? NASBA never releases 2 in one day right? even witha glitch?
waiting for AUD in CA. i must have hit refresh a million times already, lol. is it still coming out today?
For CA, do we check our score thru the client account?
Vicky and ladycat: I'm glad i'm not the only one tryin' to get my AUD score in CA.
I have the same concern, how does CA candidate check their score?
yes, for CA, you go to www.cba.ca.gov/cbt_public
I chose online notification. I check my score through the California Board of Accountancy, which is where i created my application. I'm not sure if there is any other way.
This is the reply I got from the MN co-ordinator: Exams are scored and released at the same time during each testing window. All candidates should be advised that the 1st wave of score release will occur at the end of the 2nd month of the current testing window (May). Those scores should be available on-line or by mail no later than the 1st week of the dead month (June). The second wave of scores will occur around the end of the dead month (June). Those scores should be available on-line or by mail no later than the 15th day of the new testing window (July). NASBA is unable to determine in which wave an individual candidate's score will be released by the AICPA. Also note that taking the exam early in the window does not guarantee that a candidate's score will be released in the 1st wave. Candidates cannot request a second copy of scores for the current window until the 1st day of the new testing window (July). Exam scores are only available by U.S. Mail.
Got it. Thanks, Vicky.
we check on the application website under status section
'Nice to see a Pearl Jam reference?' https://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/05/15/pearl.jam.mugging/index.html
Had to try out the whole gravatar thing, it is easy to set up and it really works. Great site Jeff, way to represent T-town!!
how does the gravatar work? is it based on e-mail address?
got my BEC in TX today... 2/2!! (FAR next thurs... crap)
Still waiting for FAR result for a CA registrant
I passed the AUD the first try but i have not received through US mail the official result from NASBA except for the online result through CA webpage... should i be concerned? Jeff, this community is great! thanks for all you're doing.. :)
Jeff: you should use OpenID with Gravatar. It seems like it would work better for bloggers.
"I passed the AUD the first try but i have not received through US mail the official result from NASBA except for the online result through CA webpage? should i be concerned?" Congrats! Did you get your AUD score for this window or is this from another window? Thanks!
Anonymous: I'm from CA and I passed FAR, REG, and BEC I have not received anything in the mail, so you shouldn't worry. I think you get something when you pass all 4! ;)
Congrats! Did you get your AUD score for this window or is this from another window? Sorry forgot to mention... from another window.
has anyone talked to NASBA or the AICPA about scores today? ANy phone calls made?
I?m from CA and I passed FAR, REG, and BEC I have not received anything in the mail, so you shouldn?t worry. I think you get something when you pass all 4! Thanks for the comfort!
I CANT TAKE THIS...THOUGHT BEC WOULD OF BEEN OUT ALREADY...I HAVE BEEN ON THE TOILET ALL DAY.
Question-If scores are released by the State Board of the state you live (in my case, TX), then I should not be concerned with what happens with NASBA? NASBA releases scores for those states that do not release them directly to their candidates? Want to make sure I understand all this stuff! Thanks!
'I CANT TAKE THIS?THOUGHT BEC WOULD OF BEEN OUT ALREADY?I HAVE BEEN ON THE TOILET ALL DAY.' Are you working it out with a pencil like any good accountant would? :)
ITS JUST A BAD SITUATION...AND YES I AM
Why does FAR have to be last? :(
any updates on releaseas??
Half a day is gone. I have a feeling we will not get AUD score for CA today. :-(
Jeff, So, what's your prediction on AUD release date for the NASBA states at this point? Thanks as always.
I realize everyone is stressed and frustrated (I'm personally waiting on two scores this window). But would it be possible to skip the TMI about bodily functions and associated 'humor'? Thanks. :)
No.
Jeff, You lack of attention to detail is dispicable. You have everyone waiting on your site for hours for updates (because your original predictions were WAY OFF!!!!) Answer to the people. When will BEC scores actually be released?
ok for all those rude people out there that have nothing nice to say but to take out their anger on someone who is only doing you a favor by keeping you informed... Do us a favor and DON'T visit this site. No need for your negativity.. anyway with that said.. Jeff thank you for all that you do ... we need to be so grateful to your wife and kids... for you to be able to juggle your kids, job and things at home and then this site, all I can say is that we need to praise you endlessly. I speak for 99% of us when I say THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
'You lack of attention to detail is dispicable' So is your spelling my friend.
oh and dont use your name as ANGRY CPA either.. your not a CPA.. you wouldnt be on this site if you were number one.. and number two you would be more professional and damn right more appreciative... WOW people like you upset me. GET OFF THE SITE AND GET THE INFO YOURSELF!!!
Yea...Jeff thanks.
izabella youre wrong... what you said represents more like 99.9% of us...
im sorry ... I stand corrected.... thank you!!!
im sorry.
thank you... :)
"Answer to the people. When will BEC scores actually be released?" JEFF DOESNT WORK FOR THE AICPA!!!!! He is only making an educated guess!!!!!
Donna - I am also in Texas. I really think the days our scores are released are the day after they are released from NASBA. I could be wrong, but that is what I've gathered from this site. I have checked when my grades were posted for my last 3 exams against when Jeff stated that they were reported, and that seems to be the case. Am waiting for my REG grade back. I took it 4/7/09 and it's my last one. I am DYING! If I need to study already then just bring it on. Put me out of my misery.
I took REG April 30th. Does that include me in the Wave 1 (assuming I don't have a first-time simulation)?? What was the cutoff?
I agree with 75% CPA MN and everyone should understand that he is motivating all of us and those who are blaming him should look themselves what they have done and why they are blaming Jeff. Thank you Jeff!!!!
i think it was may 7th.
I keep hearing the cutoff was May 7
Illinois' state board's website says its May 8th and that 100% of BEC scores have been received by the Board of Examiners. https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/files/scorerelease.pdf
well, I guess it's time to give up hope on getting AUD this weekend
ANS-thanks for the input! Kinda hoping to get REG earlier in the week since I'm taking BEC on Thursday...will just have to wait & see...
Hey Jeff, Do you think that all the release score dates will be postponed by a day?
I believe I speak for everyone that has been posting here all day when I say... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GIVE ME MY SCORE! IT JUST ISN'T FAIR ANYMORE! YOU WIN, I AM BROKEN. Ok, got that off of my chest. I'll be refreshing quietly while curled up in the fetal position.
Way back when I had a sales job where we created made-to-order products. They told us to never give the customer the actual expected completion date. Some 15% of the time it would be later, and those customers would be unhappy because we did not deliver "on time." Instead they told us to add a few days to the expected completion date. The 85% of customers whose products were ready on the real completion date would be thrilled to get "early" delivery, and the rest would also be happy with "on time" delivery. Last night I kind of felt like the customer who got his product "late", when the updated BEC score release forecast was thwarted by IT problems. But all that really happened was the folks who get scores through NASBA appear to be back to the original projected score release dates. Doesn't change my score either way. I passed or I didn't; I can't go back and change that now.
**AUD released by AICPA this afternoon**
Jeff - does that mean we'll be able to view the score sometime this afternoon? I'm in CA. Thanks.
Jeff: Does that mean that IL,CA,VA, etc. will get their AUD results later today? possibly?
I'm in California. The Board told me scores are being released randomly and to keep checking online. I'm trying to remain patient, but the waiting really sucks. Nonetheless...I know that eventually I will have the scores...Being upset doesn't do anything to get them any quicker- so I think I'll get back to doing what I'm supposed to be doing...
Jeff: Does that mean I failed BEC?
MillerTime: No, it does not mean you failed BEC! It takes time to process depending on what state you're in and also not all of the test results get processed for Wave 1. Just waiting patiently. Atleast give it a few days.
So Audit was released today but nobody has BEC yet? I'm confused.
AUD has not been released. Some people have received BEC scores, but it's still being released. Patience is key!
Auditing was released to CA/IL/Nasba, etc. CA/IL will probably release AUD sometime today (just a guess...send hate mail if I'm wrong...haha)...NASBA will release BEC if they get their system fixed tonight...probably release AUD over the weekend or Monday...dunno.
Jeff, Has anyone every gotten their score on a Saturday Morning?
Here's the process: 1. AICPA releases to everyone 2. CA/IL etc usually release pretty quickly 3. NASBA has to wait a day or so to do something with the states 4. NASBA uploads scores 5. NASBA releases Currently, BEC is in step 4 for NASBA. AUD is in step 3 for NASBA. I hope I didn't just create confusion...
sounds good. thanks for the update jeff!
Thanks for the information Jeff. My f5 (refresh button) is about to break!
There has to be history on this- has NASBA ever released scores either saturday morning or monday morning? since they have that upload process i wasnt sure if they could on either of those days. any insights? thanks
Truthfully, has anyone received thier scores yet?
Thats why we love you Jeff (in a drinking buddy kind of way of course) Ill make a donation next week when I get paid.
I'm from CA so I don't know NASBA works, but I am aware that CA has released scores on saturdays in the past.
sean: people have received BEC, but nobody has received AUD yet.
I know NASBA has released on Monday...I've *heard* of people say they've gotten them on Saturday...before I kept track.
I just talked to a co-worker right now who has his CPA, and he found out two of his scores on Saturday morning! Releasing scores on staurdy morning is no longer a legend, it's reality.
Thanks declan...no obligation, of course
I'm doing another show tonight...I'll try to make this one more palatable...haha...I'm having Phil Yaeger on to talk about the new consolidation testing...FAS 141 R. Call in if you have questions...you can "chat" also. https://www.blogtalkradio.com/cpaexaminsider/2009/05/16/CPA-Exam-Insider
You clearly need to be a CPA to understand all this. And I believe--correct me if I am wrong--that there is only one among us.
nah, i learned about FAS 141(R) in my accounting class.
I'm in VA and I've got scores on Saturday before. That is, before they "upgraded" their system and scores no longer get uploaded to the website. The 2 sections I passed before they upgraded are on the new site but the section I passed in January that was released in March (after the "upgrade") along with everybody else I know never got their score posted even though we all got the results over the phone and by mail. What a terrible upgrade, gotta call to get your score and then still sweat it out till you see it with your own eyes in the mail. Now I'm just waiting on AUD so I can be done for good.
ah~ still waiting for AUD in CA. The results from hitting refresh aren't very refreshing.
same here...
Same here lacycat! I wonder if we are delaying the process even more by jamming up their website by hitting refresh?? I hope not! =D
make me the 4th
Haha, were all in the same boat.. Going insane over here. Where do you all work anyways?
one of the big 4, haha
5th
Pasadena here, at a private company, and as u can see I havent done much "work" today = O
hedge fund of funds
Lacycat, I'm Big 4 as well up in SVO. Taking PTO to study for REG, lol.
Jim - SVO? Silicon Valley Office? Haha, me too... don't know how to do my timesheet today since I haven't been able to focus on work.
Right, Silicon Valley. Thanks for the reminder actually - Have to submit mine by 6.. Hopefully, we'll get our scores before then. How do you like working so far? Audit/Tax/Advisory? How long have you been working? I'm in Audit.. now for about 2 years.
California definitely releases scores on Saturday. I personally spoke with the Board yesterday and they confirmed that scores are released on Saturday.
Thanks ddt1, I'm gonna stop checking now.
I work for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee. But he's going to be retiring soon, so I'll be in the market as soon as I pass these exams. I'd like to get into Fraud Investigation and Forensic Accounting, so if you have any suggestions how to do that I'll welcome them. I anticipate I'll have to leave Louisiana and move to a city with a major airport hub, at least.
Jim - I'm in Tax. So far so good I guess. I'm gonna do my timesheet now. Good luck to you. :-)
where do you work sean? 5th?
I just discovered this website after already taking and passing BEC, AUD, and REG... Now I sit and wait for FAR. My recommendation would be not to take FAR last since it takes the longest one to grade!! I'm dying here in Chicago just waiting. This website does a way better job passing the time than checking the ilboa website everyday!! Thanks Jeff for the website, wish I would have found it earlier!! Good luck to everyone :)

I took BEC on 4/3/09 and my scores are not showing as posting. I am in TN. Any thoughts?
I also took AUD on 4/11/09 and it's not showing either.
Working in Newport Beach, California. U? New York?

Long time reader (i.e., since i started these damn exams), first time poster. As a fellow accounting nerd, I can't stand the wait any longer. I'm going to go out and get slammed drunk then come back tonight and maybe audit is posted. Any thoughts/answers as to if ILBOA releases scores on Saturday. All I need is audit!
any of your firms hiring for those of you out in CA?
i am waiting for my REG score. my husband is threatening a divorce if i don't get it soon. i have been so out of it waiting for these scores - i think i would divorce myself if i could. i have been impossible to deal with. anyone else feel like this? REG is my last exam...
NO AUD scores yet............
Erin - Assuming your husband isn't a CPA, there is no way he could understand the amount of stress and pressure you are under!! That is something that my husband has never been able to understand, and likely never will. So you aren't alone! Just keep pushing forward, you're almost finished!
BEC is out for NJ, 90 on my first try. Awesome
NY Scores are up. I just passed my last part which took many years. Woohoo!!!! Thanks for an amazing website. Good luck to you all!!!
PASSED this bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY Oh Man am I psyched BEC 80 AUD 87 REG 75 Waiting for FAR grade next week. Jeff, I love this site. I love everybody!!!!!
I PASSED MY FIRST!!! I PASSED MY FIRST!!! BEC!!!
PA scores are up. Passed w/ an 89. Off to bed...less than 72 hours before I take AUD...
No Audit???
Hawaii scores are out. I passed!!! Good luck to all.
Can you specify which section it is when you post "the score is out"? I'm waiting on my AUD score. My state is NASBA state and I'm wondering it will be available tomorrow. Has anyone seen score being released over the weekends? I've been taking CPA exams for about a year and half. Personally, I don't recall the scores ever released over the weekends. This waiting is killing me. Thanks all!
88 on BEC - first try!!! (I hoped for a 90+, but I'll have to live with the 88.) Thank you, God. Now I can get back to REG prep. Jeff, your website just slowed down to a near-standstill.
Nan,congratulation, you are short by 2 points :) I waiting for my REG and AUD scores while studying for BEC
Still no AUD in IL...
93
Can you specify which section it is when you post ?the score is out?? My bad, forgot to mention that. BEC scores are out.
Nan---nevermind a 90. YOU PASSED!!!!!!
time for that stogie and a brew
MA BEC is out.... finally passed!!! 66, 74, 74, 77!!! Yes!!!
Has anyone heard when the MN BEC scores will be released?
"Nan,congratulation, you are short by 2 points" I'm tempted, but I don't plan to re-take for a better score. Too risky. I might fail on the second try. For me: On to REG - FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS and get a 92+ on that! Good luck to you on BEC. Here's hoping your other scores are good as well.
Jim, I am in MN and my BEC is up as of 10:00pm. I passed but did worse than I did in FAR & AUD. One left, Monday!
"Nan?nevermind a 90. YOU PASSED!!!!!! time for that stogie and a brew" I'll split it with you. You can have the stogie. Care for an ice cold glass of Guiness Stout with a thick, frothy head?
From NH, waiting for my REG score, which I took on 4/1. Now I can't sleep, can't study. I passed two, and failed FAR. REG, waiting...
MNWild, Thanks for the update! Still no BEC score here, anxiously awaiting and trying to study for AUD. Clicking refresh every 5 minutes insn't helping the cause.
TN BEC scores are up on NASBA site. I passed with an 87!!!!!!! Now if I can just do the same on REG in 2 weeks.
It really ticks me off that nobody has received an Audit score yet. I am especially shocked that California has not posted any of them. I am under the impression that California uses a real time system, so if the AICPA sent the scores this afternoon, what in the heck is the CA Board doing?
Ryno, TN BEC scores are up? For some reason mine isn't showing up. I can't stand this much longer.
75!!!!!! I am psyched!!!!
show in 7 minutes...call in or live chat...talking about FAR consolidations... https://www.blogtalkradio.com/cpaexaminsider/2009/05/16/CPA-Exam-Insider
Any news when REG scores will be released? It's first one I've taken so I'm anxious to see how I did and compare it to how I felt and to know if my study technique worked-little late to change it for BEC as I am taking it on Thursday......
NY is out. I definitely thought I did horrible and ended up getting a 78, I am so thankful. Now I just have to wait for FAR on the 19...I pretty much have my section ID memorized.
new show is on the site if anyone is interested... https://www.another71.com/2009/05/cpa-exam-insider-podcast-sfas-141r-may-15-2009.html
okay...so someone on here that has taken through TN has received their scores. A person I know that took it the same day as me found out tonight, but for some reason my score isn't up. I'm tired, but keep thinking "any minute." I have a feeling something is wrong with me in their system. My first test score (audit) wasn't put up online because they just changed their laws to reflect being able to receive scores before completing 150 hours. So I got the last one by paper, I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. Although I thought all that was cleared up and good to go.
listened to the show Jeff, tired to comment but took too long to register on the site. Didn't have any questions, luckily I only learned FAS 141R and not 141.
You're lucky Stephen. We ran out of time, but Phil wanted me to mention that people sitting in July could very well could see original 141 questions b/c they could still be in the test bank until they get all of the originals purged.
eh, that's not good news...I take FAR on July 8th
nan, you did well on AUD; what study material do you use?
don't freak out though...he just wanted people to be aware of that possibility. With a test bank of thousands of questions, they might miss some of them.
Jeff, do you think REG for CA will release on Sunday night? Or do I have to wait until Monday?
I'm going to say Monday at this point...unfortunately. With AUD not coming out yet via CA - I think you're looking at Monday. Good night everyone
"nan, you did well on AUD; what study material do you use?" FAR - 85 (Nov 08), AUD - 98 (Feb 09), BEC - 88 (Apr 09). All first time. REG next week, score in Wave 2. I'm using the whole kit-and-kaboodle Becker package - CD-ROM course, Flashcards, and Final Review (cram) product. The local university instructors recommended Becker as the best "but it will be expensive," or Gleim as the next-best for folks on a budget. So those are the only two I took a serious look at. They even had an arrangement with Gleim for former students to get a discounted price. (No such luck with Becker.)
Hey Jeff, Why don't you pick another number from your hat? the last ones did not work out.
Anonymous, do you seriously have nothing better to do on a Friday night than troll? If so, you might be a great public accountant.
no AUD results yet...so Jeff, are you thinking Monday for AUD?
"Hey Jeff, Why don?t you pick another number from your hat? the last ones did not work out." (as stated above in the post...) Revised NASBA release prediction: # May 17 - BEC # May 19 - AUD # May 20 - REG # May 21 - FAR update: AICPA released BEC earlier than expected?here?s some bold prediction updates (reckless and not for the faint of heart?) * May 14 - BEC * May 15 - AUD * May 18 - REG * May 19 - FAR I said that the latter predictions were bold and reckless...they were "glass 7/8 full" scenarios that I tossed out there for fun AND...I labeled them as such. The original (updated) predictions are still in play. I'll consider your hat suggestion for Wave 2.
re: AUD ... if I had to guess, I would say that CA and similar states release AUD today...they're pretty good about releasing on Saturdays.
Jeff, thanks for the input and patience with the nervous/anxious CPA candidates.
I received my BEC grade this morning, 5/16/2009. I sat under Tennessee.
I got my AUD score this morning, 80!!! In California!
I meant to leave my "name". I got my AUD score this morning, 80!!! I'm in California! My REG score is pending!!!
AUD 94!!! Thanks Jeff for the reasonably accurate date! I refreshed the CA state screen until 3 and woke up at 6. Poof! the score was there! Now I can go back to sleep!
I got my AUD Score this morning too ddt1, 84!! What a relief.. Off to take REG now ;) (seriously.. like in 45 mins, lol)
Per above, CA AUD scores were amde available today (Saturday). Anybody have any guesses when PA AUD would be viewable online?
still no CA AUD score for me yet...:-( congrats to those to passed -)
what is a NASBA state?
Are any CT scores out yet?
Anyone from IL get AUD scores yet?
Still waiting for AUD in IL... getting nervous!
The Wolf - I am waiting on AUD in PA as well, I'm *guessing* based upon what I've been reading on this site that scores will be made available on NASBA sometime on Monday. Good luck to you!
Received AUD in CA and I PASSED!!!!!!!!!
I scored 80 in BEC from Colorado!! Hurray...
TN AUD scores are not up yet...
Did anyone in VA get their scores yet for AUD? How long after they post them online do you receive them via postal mail?
no score for AUD in NM yet
Has anyone decided if NASBA will post scores on a Saturday or Sunday yet? I thought not, but I'm getting EXTREMELY ANXIOUS waiting on AUD!!!!
From what I understand, it is highly doubtful that NASBA will post AUD scores over the weekend. Once they get the scores, they have to do some kind of confirmation with the states before they can post scores. Since the AICPA didn't release the AUD scores to NASBA until Friday afternoon, I can't imagine they had time to get that confirmation from the state Boards.
Darn it... that's what I was afraid of. I don't know how people can concentrate on studying for the next part when they don't know how they've done on the previous one!
I jut got AUD! Yaya! 87 in California!!! Time to celebrate! 2 down 2 to go!!
okay...yeah I'm getting hosed. Other people out of TN are getting their BEC grades, but I am not. So sad:(
i took aud on 4//17 in ca and haven't received my score, does this i did not pass?
CA Aud scores are out!!!..got mine jst awhi;e back...
To everyone who finally passed after repeated attempts... And to everyone who fell short, but is determined to try once more... I really admire your tenacious effort. I know how dismal it is, and how little support I have had, after multiple failures. And I know how difficult, but yet how necessary, it is to get up and keep going, acting as if the failures were successes and as if the vultures circling over me were actually eagles lifting me up. You folks are truly the bold and brave, with inner fire and spirit to be admired. You will make it wherever you go in life. I only wish there were more people like you.
In CA, haven't received my AUD score yet (tested first week of April)- is it now safe to assume I won't be receiving my score until Wave 2, or do they release the scores gradually?
On FAR, REG, and AUD, if you were "lucky" enough to get a new sim, you might automatically be kicked into Wave 2 no matter how early you tested. That's because the AICPA waits until they have a statistically sufficient quantity of test-takers with the new sim before they finalize the grades on it.
It's been so long since I took AUD (4/6), I can't remember a thing about the simulations
Has anyone from Kansas received scores? Had FAR on 4/11, hoping I don't have to go back and fight the monster again...
FAR wont be out yet right? Something like Tuesday or Wednesday I think. I can't wait. That's my last freaken part!
FAR is like a double test, its so much damn material
FAR has not been released for anyone.
If I my FAR score comes back 75 or higher I'm going to light my FAR review materials on fire in my back yard
Nan, "And to everyone who fell short, but is determined to try once more?" Thanks for keeping a positive outlook! I've been following Jeff's blog for its therapeutic and comic value since about November of last year when I started this adventure, and it seems like there are a lot more negative comment posters this window. I enjoy the supportive and comic posts a whole lot more. Jeff, Thanks for taking the chance and posting the "reckless" predictions. I didn't receive my AUD score (GA), but it made Friday at work a whole lot more interesting just following the comments here and hoping.
I really hate this waiting period. It's hard to focus on the next exam.
yeah this blows! i'm in CA and i hear people already received their AUD score, my results are still not out yet.
lmb - I'm CA and haven't received my AUD score either. I guess we are the "lucky" ones who got first time simulations.
Vicky and lacycat: when did you take AUD and at what testing location?
anyone ever think...it's a little discouraging typing into the url address line "another71" ... lol Good luck to all! waiting for results on FAR taken last month!
Nope! Easy tip add it to your Favorites :)
I took audit 4/17 in CA and haven't received the score yet :(
lmb - I took my exam on 4/25 in Anaheim. I think I remember reading that they might release the scores gradually, accoring to Jeff? Also, if scores are between 73 - 77, they may take a bit longer? this is just knowledge obtained from reading posts ; ) Good luck to everyone waiting for their scores!
Correction....it was "ddt1" and not Jeff From earlier post "I?m in California. The Board told me scores are being released randomly and to keep checking online"....that was from a post yesterday
hahaahah i passed............thank goodness will never have to go to this site AGAIN!
nothing in TX till MOnday :( or even Tuesday :(WA WA
CT scores in BEC released - 86, woo hoo!
Any news on AICPA releasing REG scores?
when is NY AUD coming out?
I'm anxiously awaiting for AUD in NY as well...the wait is excruciating...
waiting for aud it in ny too!! i think well get it on monday, tuesday latest
Is NY NASBA state?
Waiting for REG in NY!!! I am 95% sure I failed but reading this site gives me hope!
from what i understand if we haven't received our score for aud in CA does that mean we're in wave 2 release?
oz: I think we should wait until Monday before we jump to conclusions.
I took audit on 5/7. Is there any possible that I can the score this next week?
I mean next week wave1 count
YES. NY is NASBA.
waiting on FAR, waiting on FAR. Please great one, let me pass it.
Jeff, Out of the three what is more likely for the FAR release? Tues, Wed, or Thurs?
Cherly_csr, I was 101% sure that I failed REG, heck....I didn't even finish the second Simulation. I made an 86, so there is still hope.
Is New Mexico a NASBA state...what does that mean exactly??
To the person that asked if NY was NASBA, the answer is "kinda". They tend to release with the other states but have from time to time just taken an extra day or two without explanation. So take the predictions with a grain of salt.
so what's out on NASBA and what's not out?
if the FAR scores are supposed to be posted on 5/19 will they be available 5/19 at 12:01am? thanks
Jeff, Do you have an idea why all the comments are posted on the same page, no more older comments. It is being slower to load. Thanks for all your effort and support!
VA audit is out, I called Friday at 4 and got my results, 84!
Jeff, I agree. I know someone was complaining before that there were too many pages with few comments. But now there are too many comments on one page. A page should have some kind of limit, no?
I appreciate the site. I think alot of the comments are really good. The whining can be a bit over the top. I think however you do it Jeff someone will complain so personally I want to say thanks for your effort. This site is very helpful.
I am waiting for FAR , and finally FART is out. Just a dry humor!!!
Got my AUD score in California, 84 =)
I'm not whining. Im just giving constructive feedback to help make the site as good as it could be. That's all. I'm sure Jeff appreciates the feedback. Let it not diminish the value of the site. The site kicks ass!!
I really do appreciate the feedback/suggestions! Don't hesitate to point something out if it's slow or can be better. This was an experiment...seeing how fast the page would load if I put it on one page. I can see that it's slow now...I'll mess around with the optimal comments per page and try to install a plugin that numbers the pages. Really, the only thing I don't like is when people are rude to other posters and try to make them feel bad for sharing their scores. I can handle the trolls (really, it's just frustration at not getting scores)...it's people being rude to other posters for absolutely no reason that I don't like. You can be rude to me...I don't care :) I'll try to tweak some things...thanks again for the tips - keep them coming if you think of something. Jeff
k...I've broken them up into pages of 100 comments as a start...hope it loads faster.
Jeff Do you know what scores have been published so far in NASBA website for this window? V
It looks like BEC is the only NASBA score that is out...have all of the NASBA people received their BEC scores?
Pretty big news over in IL... AUD scores are out!
I am from PA and I took bec on May 8th. IL state board said that the firt wave will include tests up to May 8th. I have not recieved my grade. Does NASBA release grades in batches or am I not going to be in the 1st wave.
I set it to 10 comments per page...that way you don't have to scroll down so far...not sure if this is an improvement or if 50-100 per page is preferred...
I suggest 50-100, i browse comments sometimes and this could mean much more hassle.
Thanks lmb...I moved it back to 100 for now.
Anyone else in IL get their AUD score besides Amy?
Thanks Jeff, That's much faster!!
appeared for BEC on 5/8/09 surprisingly found the score on nasba on 5/14/09 regd with the Colorado board however i am still contemplatin whether it is the final score or not what is it?
is it possible to see scores tonigt for AUD?
is there nobody who can answer my qs? this whole score thing has been botherin me ever since i saw that score more so cause i got a 67 i have aud this wed and reg on the 30th just not bein able to focus! someone please pull me outta the fix of whether this is the final score or no also another qs took the FAR test on the 5/14 so when do i expect to see the results? appx.?
Kushal, Unfortunately, if you see a 67 when you sign on, then that is your score. Why are you taking the four exams so close together? BEC on the 8th, FAR on the 14th, AUD on the 20th, REG on the 30th??? It sounds like you probably spread yourself too thin.
Kushal - Middle of June... for all three of your tests if you took them all after 5/7
finally! i FAILED! wow... feels awful actually im from india so i had to select the dates so close... fckkk this means i will have to stay back till july to re-appear in BEC i jus don't understand the scoring system of cpa... anyhow the fact is i failed... oh so all the exams i take after the 05/07, results come out in mid-june! great... thanks for the information.... any tips for the AUD & BEC tests... please share here or mail me on kushaloswal@gmail.com i'd appreciate it!
AUD scores out in IL!... I never thought a combination of two numbers could look so good!... "80"... YIPPEE!!!... definitely gives me an incentive to study for FAR and BEC!
kushal, I don't see any reason to think that isn't the final score. If you took the test on 5/8, you made the cut for 1st wave. Sorry about the score, good luck on next parts.
Those who have passed AUD .how did you feel once you finish your exam .Esp with the simulation and communication tab?
RE: AUD... I felt pretty good about the M/C Q's and the Comm... but, I wasn't as confident about the sims...somehow the available answers didn't quite match w/my thinking.
I'm scheduled to take BEC on Thursday, but I'm so not ready! Was going to reschedule it for end of month, but come to find out Prometric never sent me my confirmation email. So I thought maybe it didn't get processed, but when I try to schedule a "new appt" and enter my session ID it says that ID has been used already!! URGGGGGGGGG! So, can't do anything about it today since all is closed and I lost 5 hours of study time b/c I was so frustrated and couldn't focus. This late in the game I doubt there are any time slots left since it's the end of a testing window. I'm so impatient so that makes me more frustrated not being able to find out. Surprisingly, I'm not nearly as anxious about waiting for my REG score to come out this week-I know, weird! Sorry, needed to vent.
If I can't push it back to end of May, I'm seriously thinking of moving it to July 1 since I have till July 21 to take it. Not sure though-any input???
hey donna if you aint prepared dont do the mistake of rushin it up you'd be better off in july... believe me knowin half the content perfectly is much better than knowing the complete content haphazardly. take your time and reschedule.. provided you aint prepared
hi, you should postpone if you don't think you will pass especially if your NTS runs through July 21st. D
Any news/guesses of when to expect REG from NASBA?
Donna: I took a cram approach towards BEC and although I studied and studied, I missed it by two points. Fortunately I passed on the second try. With REG, I am taking two months to study. One thing that you might want to look at with regards to scheduling is that you can take the test in a variety of different locations. Not sure where you live, but even if you had to drive a bit to take the test, it might be worth it if you felt that you would actually be ready at the end of May. Perhaps you could find an open spot in a more remote location. I wouldn't assume that you can't reschedule. On the other hand, if you think that you need the month of June to study, it's better to take it and pass. Good luck!!!!! :)
Hey Donna. Duh. I didn't see that you are from Texas. I am in Houston. There are testing sites everywhere! I guess it depends on whether or not you can changes locations when you reschedule.
CPA'ers, (especially those who passed and are feeling especially grateful), Jeff has a donate button at the top of the page. Jeff, I pledge to donate every time I pass a section. :) Have a good next week all.
I have seen the posts and am awaiting my REG score in PA. Based on what I am hearing, do you think its safe to say that Monday will be the day for the release? Great site and good luck to all
Thanks Hypnochick! I was thinking about checking other areas around here-I'd really like to take it at end of May if at all possible-I think that extra week would really help me. What all (besides BEC) have you taken? I'm waiting on my REG score this week. It's the only one I've taken so far. With BEC, I told myself I wasn't going to underestimate it, but ending up doing that....
Hypnochick-By the way, I'm in New Braunfels :)
M - REG hasn't even been released by the AICPA - so it is EXTREMELY doubtful you will get NASBA score this Monday.
Ok thanks i appreciate the quick response. I am just hoping by the middle of the week. This is my last one so i cant wait anymore!!
:) I completely understand. I'm waiting on my last two: AUD and FAR. If it makes you feel better, you are almost guaranteed to get you REG score before I get my FAR.
Thanks for the info on REG. I am waiting for REC too, checking the site every 5 minutes...So when do you think it will be showed on NASBA?
If I had to guess...REG comes out Monday for CA/IL/etc...NASBA releases Tuesday night.
When did you take BEC? I believe all the BEC scores for the first wave have already been posted.
Thanks Jeff. BTW, great website! I love it.
Jeff, Would the NASBA states release the AUD scores tomorrow morning?
seriously do not underestimate BEC
I still don't know when BEC scores rolled out exactly...did they come out in the evening as intended? If so - then AUD should be out tomorrow night *I think* ... this Wave has had some curveballs so far.
Thanks Mike...it's encouraging to hear that.
I received my BEC score in MA late Friday night. I think it was posted sometime bewteen 7pm and 11pm if that helps at all.
Donna - Am waiting for REG too - in Texas. UGH! It is my last one and this waiting game is absolutely ridiculous. My heart about leaps out of my chest every time I check the dang thing! It's always a disappointment to see no grade...then again...ignorance is kind of bliss, no? I'm right there with you...
cpa_hopeful, Sorry, it's typo. I passed BEC. I am waiting for REG, and planning take FAR in July.
re: BEC score posting.. that's good news...it means NASBA's batch re-scheduling worked..
So would there be any chance in MA that audit might be released tonight or is it more likely to be tomorrow night? Thanks!
Hey Donna. Just got back on. Studying for REG. Try San Antonio first, then San Marcos and Austin to see what looks available. I think that this will be in the order of what would be closest to you. Houston also has lots of locations. The Woodlands also has testing, but it would be a haul!
I can handle tuesday night hah. Hopefully it will make my Memorial Day weekend a lot better. Wouldn't be too much fun failing the final section hah. REG was a problem for me the first time and i still had some trouble on this try even though I thought I did much better. Hopefully, there will be no need for a 3rd try. Thanks for the info Jeff. Keep up the good work with the site.
I have only taken BEC. But I underestimated it and all of the stupid cost accounting. (but I am not bitter - ha ha ha). I had planned on taking Audit at the end of May, but when I found out that I failed BEC, (took at end of Feb)I decided to retake it in early April. After retaking it, I was having trouble getting motivated to study for Audit (since I didn't have my BEC grade) and decided to study for REG for two months instead of doing AUD and REG over two months. If you are ready, I would take it as late as possible in May.
btw Hypnochick...thanks for the site donation...much appreciated.
i take AUD this Wednesday any kind of tips or information regarding AUD please share would really appreciate it im already super low & demotivated with my BEC score... =( so please peeps...
Donna. I have only taken BEC, but I have taken it twice. I took it for the first time at the end of Feb. I found out that I missed it by 2 points at the end of March and retook it April 9. I am now studying for REG. I had originally planned to take AUD in May and REG the first part of July, but I pushed AUD back. I think that I will do better taking two months to pass each part rather than pushing it. I really appreciated Jeff's comments about how he felt so "stupid" by not passing. I work with someone who passed on 4 parts on the first try. I also made the mistake of telling everyone at work that I was taking the exam. Then, three weeks later people started asking me how I did and I had to spew the bad news. This next test time I will keep my mouth shut! Try San Antonio, then SAn Marcus then Austin. I think that those testing sites would be the next closest. You could always make the long drive to Houston. There are testing centers everywhere!
Sorry about the bad news kushal. I would suggest pushing some of your tests back....... Cramming didn't work for me. You can do it. Don't be too hard on yourself. Lots of people don't even make the effort to study and take the exam. Good luck with Audit.
thanks hypno... i'm from india so i have a limited time to appear for these tests... thanks for the wishes... haha with cpa exams after your hard work all that matters is ppl's wishes and prayers!
de nada Jeff! Will donate same each time I pass. You are awesome to faciliate an outlet for all of us OCD beancounters. Can you give me some info on Yaeger? I have already spent big $$$ on Becker, but the idea of having something on my IPOD appeals to me. How does that work? Does it just give you definitional information? I am hesistant to spend more money, but if it was something additional that could use in the gym or in my car,(i.e. when I not at home studying the Becker stuff, I might be up for buying it. Please advise. Thanks!
I looked at my calendar & can rearrange some things so that I'll have 6 full days of review (already gone through review course/mcq-been doing this for past 4 weeks-just didn't give myself enough time for review). So hopefully I can find a testing center with a slot open on the 29 or 30. I'll know tomorrow....
Hypnochick, The audios are good if you have time to listen to them while doing something other than driving. I listened to them at the gym, as well as while mindlessing formatting spreadsheets at work. They definitely re-inforce the concepts if you can listen to them 3-4 times all the way through. My friend has a 2 hour round trip commute and he listens to them in the car every day...it worked for him...I just am not one who can do that...I need blaring music.
anyone from southern CA feel that 5.0 earthquake? it's the biggest i've felt lately.
Jeff, 100 posts per page is perfect for me. NASBA posted BEC scores just after 8pm Central Time on Friday. I had the NASBA website open and my info saved. I just kept flipping back to the page every 5 to 15 minutes all day long Thursday and Friday and hitting the Submit button. Everytime I did it the screen blanked for a second, and my heart skipped a beat. Then suddenly..... without warning..... I saw a score. A passing score. And the earth stopped turning on its axis. I just sat there and stared. Then I started making phone calls. Didn't get much studying done the rest of the evening. But when I sat back down to study my final section I felt so relaxed, and was able to concentrate so much better. 4 more days now and I get my life back!
Imb, I didn't feel the quake, in which part of CA? My heart is beating so hard and loud while waiting for REG's result, I don't think I can even feel a 7.0 quake right now...
You're not going to see REG tonight...tomorrow at the earliest, unfortunately. AICPA hasn't released REG as far as I know.
Jeff, what is your best guess to see AUD score on NASBA site? I am sorry if you already gave the other. thanks
I believe Jeff said it's expected tomorrow evening. That's about 12:30 EDT
Thank you
I am also waiting on AUD so that I can start concentrating on FAR that I'm taking in a week
Yeah - if AUD isn't release tomorrow night via NASBA, I'll be surprised. G/L!
Hi all, Normally i receive my score by e-mail 1 day before it released by NASBA on the website. is it happen with any one else? I received the BEC Score in thursday 11:30 AM NY time. Still waiting the AUD score ;)
Donna- if you have already reviewed for 4 weeks and still have a couple days more to review...i would definitely still try and take it this window. Worst case scenario is that you do not pass in which case you just schedule next window. You would only be out the application fees, but there still would be a good chance you will pass.
Any ideas when Aud will be out in Texas? Can't get a straight answer when I call them. Does Texas release with the NASBA states?
I am taking the exams in Illinois and have yet to receive my Audit score...I am kind of skeptical as to the 2 or 3 posts that mentioned that they had received their AUD scores in IL. I took AUD on April 3, so I have a good chance of receiving it in Wave 1. The other reason that I am skeptical is because ILBOA has not updated their website, via their 'breaking news' section. Usually they update that with what exams are releassed and the percent of total exams that are released. Just wondering if anyone else has received their AUD scores in ILLINOIS.
No AUD in MA today...yet. About to have a massive coronary here... EST here, so does that mean "tonight" means by midnight or else not till tomorrow? I'm concerned because Illinois hasnt posted an announcement about AUD scores being released yet...
"tonight" means between 9:30pm and 12:30am EST
Thanks Jeff!!
Do you still we are still on for REG today in CA? I usually have gotten the results in the early morning....do they also release the scores during the day? This is my 2nd try and my last shot at the REG before I loose both FAR and BEC! Can't wait to finally see the end of this crazy ride!!! I am hoping for the BEST!
So is the precdiction for REG still the 20th for NASBA? It started to look like everything is screwed up like last window.
any idea when REG scores for VA will be released?
Another 71 Please answer my question. I took BEC on May 8th and have not recieved my score yet. I know that the wave ended on May 8th becuase someone left a post above that took the exam on May 8th got the score. Is BEC going to be released in batches? Does this mean that I failed? IL state board said that 100% of BEC grades from the 1st wave were to be released. Help I am going crazy. I hate BEC. Failed in Jan with a 71!!!!
Fabulous, You will PASS REG!
Hope Audit scores start trickling today.....:)
I just heard that wave 1 for AUD and BEC are out for VA. Any idea if REG will be posted later today 5/18?
Just called to get my AUD score in VA (b/c their "upgraded" website no longer posts new scores). I sat for AUD on April 17th. She said they received 2,600 scores and they normally receive 5,000. She wouldn't hint to whether that meant there were going to get the rest of them in the next few days or if that meant I was in wave 2. Any ideas?
I called VA board this morning for AUD too. I got the same answer as "Anonymous" above. I am hoping to get my score this week - I will just call them agin this Friday but won't keep calling. I feel my score could be released in wave 2 since my 2nd simulations seems so new that they could be new simulations never tested before. But I feel I should have passed it. Just need to wait to see my score. REG on 5/29/09. No more wasting time. Thanks for this website keep me informed!
I was able to move my test to May 29 at the same test center! Yeah! I really didn't want to have to push it to July. Now, I'll hopefully get my REG score this week and will have recovered from the results and still be able to focus at least 6 more days on BEC. And 5 days after that I leave for vacation for 2 weeks!!!!! :)
Jeff, I'm IL waiting for FAR. Have you heard any news about REG and FAR releases. Right now I'm expecting REG today and FAR tomorrow. Is that reasonable?
I'm anonymous who called the VA board above. Illinois site says only 51% of audit scores were released by the AICPA and that some sections(I'm assuming audit) may be released in multiple batches.
i havent heard anything about FAR... whats going on with that? does anyone know?
any calls to NASBA ?
I was able to get my Audit score in VA this morning. Hang in there!
I called VA this morning and they gave me the AUD score over the phone. When I logged into my account on their website there is no score posted on there though. I would suggest people call. Since everyone loves to post their score: I studied for 2 days after coming home from work and got a 52!! HAHAHA. Oh well didn't expect better than a 40.
We just called the TX Board and they were very vague. They stated that they have only received BEC as of now. They then said that they think it will be the end of the week before any other scores are released.
WA state Audit scores are out this morning :) D BEC Aug 11th 2008 86 FAR Nov 24th 2008 75 AUD Apr 1st 2009 93 REG May 27th 2009
Has anyone had any luck passing BEC using only the Becker Final Review? I?ve only given myself 2 weeks to pass this one. I figured I?d give it a shot before the testing window closes. My thought is to watch the final review lectures and then just practice all final review & regular becker mcqs. Any thoughts?
I hope AUD will be earlier than the 20th
Hi jeff, Answering ur question..whether all have received their BEC scores.Nope...i took BEC on April 1st,still waiting...Colorado Board.
Hopefully because Illinois released Sunday (per their press release) that means NASBA will releast Tonight or tomorrow morning. the 51% is a very low percentage...not sure if they are expecting more to bring it up to 75%... this would be terrible if i have to wait another month for my last score...AUD sat 4/11 in MA
Hey, from OH here and just got my BEC score, second attempt, 78. Yay! Just in case anyone else is as dumb as me and hitting "refresh" over and over with no result, I reentered everything and realized that all this time I have been checking with my birthdate entered as "092919XX" NOT "09/29/19XX". D'oh! Ok, so now what? I've passed my four exams, now what do I do?? I mean, we'll go out to dinner and get my kid the snake I promised him, but then what? I gotta get a job!
"Another 71 Please answer my question. I took BEC on May 8th and have not recieved my score yet. I know that the wave ended on May 8th becuase someone left a post above that took the exam on May 8th got the score. Is BEC going to be released in batches? Does this mean that I failed? IL state board said that 100% of BEC grades from the 1st wave were to be released. Help I am going crazy. I hate BEC. Failed in Jan with a 71!!!!" Sophia, In the past - the 7th would have been the cutoff with *some* exams from the 8th...not all of them. I think you're a Wave 2 candidate...they don't release them in batches...at least they haven't since I've been tracking this. I truly understand the frustration/anxiety of the whole thing...I sat through FOURTEEN score releases. You have to figure out something else to focus on...that's key. You can still check on your score once (or 20 times) a day...but sitting there hitting F5 will make you miserable.
I didn't get my result in first wave.what does it mean ? I am really scared now.Does it mean i didn't do well ?
if you didnt get your score in wave 1 its because- 1. you had a new simulation that they need to consider longer... 2. your score was close to a 75 (higher or lower- just as likely to be both)
jeff, so they don't release scores in batches? does that mean if I didn't receive CA audit i'm in wae 2 release?
The only time that they release scores in batches is in Wave 2 when Wave 2a occurs around 5 days after the big release...there's people who are "borderline" (72-77-ish) and are having their exams looked at again. Once the AICPA releases Wave 1 (usually)...they don't release any more scores until Wave 2. Last window ... only like 50% of REG was released in Wave 1...everyone else had to wait until Wave 2 and even then they were either last or close to it in Wave 2. So...based on past trends...no more scores until Wave 2.
Has anybody heard anything about REG? I hope we don't have the same issue as the one we had in the last window!
Hey Jeff, Has NASBA released AUD yet? Any expected release date? Thanks!
Got the score notification email today morning for Aud. 89!NH Board. But, NASBA still doesn't show the score. Congrats to all those who have cleared & those who are waiting 'your wait won't be long'. I know exactly how even a few hors wait could be.
I am anticipating NASBA to release AUD tonight. I'll say that at the expense of getting hate mail again when people stay up waiting for it. Here is why I think this: AUD was released Friday by the AICPA...they had all weekend and most of today to run their process and get it loaded before 7pm tonight. I bet we see AUD scores this evening (b/w 8:30 and 11:30 CST).
any news on REG for VA?
If i didn't get my result in 1st wave .does it mean i def wont pass.
Just checked my score for BEC (Illinois) - 75! Third times a charm - I got a 71 and 72 previous. Switched to Yaeger after finding Jeff's blog, and got the final review to CRAM for BEC. Looks like it worked! I've got FAR on Saturday, and that will be my last part. Here goes!
nothing in TX yet, as far as for AUD
Any news on FAR in PA, This is killing me. This is my last one to pass. Here's hoping it comes out tomorrow.
Sorry 'bout that...the site crashed.
Any word about FAR? REG needs to come out first, right? Any word on REG?
jeff, is it true what someone else wrote that if you have a new sims you get graded with wave 2?
Jeff, Quick question. So I took Audit, April 3, 2009 in Illinois (have not received a score yet) and the site said that 51% of audit scores were released. It also says that scores are released in batches. Do you think they will release more Audit scores in Wave 1 (considering 51% of scores released seems on the low end)? I saw that you wrote that typically only one batch is released? I am just trying to figure out if I have a chance to receive my audit score sometime soon, instead of waiting until June. Please help, I'm losing my mind!!!!!!
Any news on REG in Cali?
Im waiting for REG CA, no score yet for me
Still waiting for FAR in Cali...has anyone received their scores for FAR yet?
A friend of mine tood REG in CA around April 10th and his has received his passing score.
spelling correction from earlier post: "he has" received his score
any news for OK audit results yet?
It is possible that they will release more in batches, but I don't think it's likely based on what they did with REG (50% in wave 1) last window. "is it true what someone else wrote that if you have a new sims you get graded with wave 2?" This is based on an answer that the AICPA gave in my interview with them... https://www.another71.com/2009/04/cpa-exam-curved-myths-debunked-my-interview-with-the-aicpa.html "...For example, candidates need to know that those who are presented with simulations that have not been tested previously will receive their scores in the second wave, even if they test at the beginning of a testing window."
Jeff: I have a question about your response on wave1/wave2 "The only time that they release scores in batches is in Wave 2 when Wave 2a occurs around 5 days after the big release?there?s people who are ?borderline? (72-77-ish) and are having their exams looked at again." I took audit on 4/17. I called the VA board and they said they dont have my score and they only have 2,600 of 5,000 scores. Additionally, the Illinois site update says only 51% of scores were relased for AUD. Are you saying that 49% of the people that didnt receive there score because got between 72 to 77%? My first exam was FAR and it got a 75% and received my score in wave 1 way back in November. I really think I crushed AUD. I felt one of my simulations wasnt in the becker material at all (I have the 2008 books as this was my last exam). Can this low release percentage can be due to some new simulations that were thown in the mix that need additional review?
"Just checked my score for BEC (Illinois) - 75! Third times a charm - I got a 71 and 72 previous. Switched to Yaeger after finding Jeff?s blog, and got the final review to CRAM for BEC. Looks like it worked! I?ve got FAR on Saturday, and that will be my last part. Here goes!" Congrats Leigh! ...glad the cram worked for you. I hope Saturday is a success as well. Jeff
I was hoping you Californians would have Reg scores by about 9:00 a.m. Pacific. Also, I have always been tempted to apply for jobs and just pick up and move to San Diego. It rains too much here in Louisiana. Is San Diego trully a paradise? Is it clean? beautiful?
"Are you saying that 49% of the people that didnt receive there score because got between 72 to 77%?" no...I'm saying that there are people whose scores don't come out in Wave 2 and appear 3-5 days later...THEY are borderline. Your score coming out in Wave 1 or not coming out in Wave 1 has nothing to do with your score. It could be just bad luck...a new simulation...anything.
Any other confirmations of REG in CA?
Waiting on FAR score in CALI..probably going to be tomorrow or Wednesday?
FAR usually comes out last...with the exception of it coming out 2nd in Wave 1 of last window.
Anyone receive their AUD score in NY?
oz & lacycat: i'm gettin' frustrated! on the CA CBA phone recording, it said that they receive batches and updates them as soon as they receive it from the AICPA. i don't know what's going on, but i've waited over 6 weeks already. do you guys have aim/msn/yahoo/gTalk?
Jeff, What are the chances that NASBA will finish preparing AUD scores and fully process REG scores by close of business this evening and then upload the entire batch for tonight between say 9:00 and 12:00 central ? I keep thinking that if they have fixed their IT kinks and did indeed receive REG this morning, they should be able to have them posted by tonight.
hi guys, any updates on Reg reults for CA?
You won't see REG tonight via NASBA...AUD probably, but not REG. My NASBA person is on vacation...they said they'd try to e-mail me if the AICPA released anything...I won't hold them to that since they're on vacation :)
Hi Jeff, You said you are anticipating NASBA to release AUD tonight. I am not sure if WA is NASBA state? I thought it is, but someone already got the score this morning in WA for AUD. Does that mean score will be released tonight again in WA? Thanks
Jeff, I think ther is aome technical difficulties in loading pages over 7. I was on your website this morning and I saw page 8.Not any longer, when the page load , I don't see any page over 7?/ Thanks for all your effort and a great job in keeping all of us updated.
The way to tell if a state releases via NASBA is to go to NASBA's website...go to CPA Exam...click the state...click "Scores". If there's a place for you to enter your section ID and date of birth - it's a NASBA state. If there isn't one...they release via their own site or through someone else. WA is *not* a NASBA state.
I see page 8 in both Firefox and IE 6.0 ... do you still not see it?
Jeff What is the latest on REG? Has NASBA received the scores?
"What is the latest on REG? Has NASBA received the scores?" Haven't heard anything, unfortunately.
Okay Thank You
WA state scores doesn't go through NASBA , it's like CA and VA. D
anyone call/email NASBA to see if they have any scores/ when they expect to post them?
Anyone receive MD AUD scores yet?
Got my AUD score via email at 9am in NH, in the past that means NASBA will post them tonight. 85 and I'm finished, good luck to everyone out there still working through. It's been real, it's been fun...
I'm at CA and I took REG on April 4. I haven't received my score yet...I hope it's not a bad sign....It seems like some folks @ CA have received their REG score based on my reading from the comment sections. I just can't afford to retake REG again - I passed this in 2007 but I had to retake it because the credit expired. ah! And this will be my last part...I passed FAR and AUD finally after 3-4 attempts...(And passed BEC again last fall). So, I really want this to be the end......
Congrats NH! I wish you well in your future as a CPA. -Jeff
Anyone in Ohio received AUD score yet?
Did anyone in CA take their AUD exam in the last part of April and received their score? I'm curious if those were new simulations and that is why AUD hasn't been released to me...cause if I fail again, that's going to suck.
"Anyone receive MD AUD scores yet?" Not yet
thanks Jeff. Let me know if u hear anything abt. Reg.
absolutely...if I get an e-mail and if I'm not at my computer...I'll put it up on Twitter as soon as I hear something. https://twitter.com/another71
Anyone hear anything from Texas?
Specifically on Aud?
Anyone received DE FAR and AUD scores yet?
Has anyone ever contacted the MA board of Accountancy for results?
For MA- Back in December I emailed candidate care (NASBA) asking if my score had been released- they told me both FAR and BEC were and that they would be coming out tomorrow.
so how many of us are waiting for FAR? i havent heard many ask about FAR.. Just wanted to see how many are with me in the wait..
I just got my Auditing score from Washington State - miraculously, I passed with an 82. I was 90% sure that I failed miserably, so this was both a shock and a surprise
MA - which part are you waiting on? I am waiting on REG...
another MA- waiting on AUD...emailed NASBA (same ppl who responded before) a few hours ago...nothing yet...
I'm waiting for FAR here in TX and it's nearly killing me! I walked out feeling horrible and almost in tears...then again, I've talked to 3 people who work w/ me and they had the exact same experience and passed...so my fingers are crossed.
waiting on FAR in CA...AHHHHHHH
Any news on FAR ???? I have a AUD test on 26th, and this wait is taking away all the energy and time out of my AUD . Every five minutes i get on this page to see the updates...so help me God...bless me with a lil patient....
Anonymous at 12:10 pm I'm waiting for FAR as well and felt the same exact way... everyone keeps telling me that you never know until the score pops up. I hope we pass!! Good Luck :)
I'm waiting for both REG and FAR myself, so I've been checking the blog and the NASBA site all day!! I think there's a possibility I may have passed REG, although the simulations were hellish! And FAR...I just don't know...I'm like 80% sure I failed, but when I hear others stories, it gives me a little hope that I may have passed!! So, keep sharing your experiences, it really helps the rest of us!
any predictions on when REG may come out?
Hi Relieved, I am also from WA. Did you call or check the score online? I just want to know if they are releasing the scores gradually throughout the day. Some poeple got their scores this morning. Did you get yours within the past hour? Thanks
Has anyone heard about FAR yet? I really really really hope I passed!
Still waiting on FAR in CO.
i felt the same way about FAR.. I walked out of there thinking thats it.. I want to give up..I couldnt believe it was that hard... I am almost 98% sure i failed..
Same horrible feeling here with FAR... if I find out I didn't pass FAR I loose REG. I'm going crazy!
NASBA has audit- just got an email back. They said either tonight or tomorrow morning they will be available online MA here
btw- they recieved audit scores on Friday in the afternoon...
No one has heard anything from Texas on Aud?
"btw- they recieved audit scores on Friday in the afternoon?" I posted as much Friday afternoon :)
An earlier post indicated that a candidate in California received REG, but I haven't seen any others since.
Still waiting for AUD in NM :)
I'm in Cali waiting for REG too!! Haven't seen anything yet--Going just as crazy as everyone else here!!
im going nuts at work today, cant stop checking the site for a score update!!!! waiting for AUD in NY. IM GOING NUTS!!!
Waiting on FAR in PA. Please Lord, make it end!
Yep. Waiting on FAR for Louisiana. I am also sitting for AUD on May 26. Finding out I passed FAR would give me a great boost...although if I failed it (which I don't think I did)...I'm quiting because I felt great coming out of FAR (2nd time taking it).
Nothing yet on AUD from TX!
I didn't even go to work today, just stay home waiting for REG result! I can't take it any more!!
I'm waiting on REG in GA. It is my LAST section... the suspense is killing me!!! I'm not getting any work done today...
Still waiting on Audit scores in MD. Glad I'm not alone.
You people are all crazy!
whats worse a 40 or a 74?
imb - i'm in the bay area, took AUD on 4/21. As of today, my score is not posted.
lacycat, in which part of bay area?
The only thing worse than a 74 is another 74.
I'd say the 40. I've taken REG 3 times and made 74, then another 74, and yet a third 74. I have always had hope, although it was heart-wrenching each time. I can't imagine making a 40. I'd probably quit.
thats what i was thinking.. imagine getting a 40 after studying for 2 months.. i would seriously say "ok its time for me to change careers" .. i am expcting a low score for FAR.. dont know how low. but low.!!
re:Izabella: i'd rather get a 40 than 74. at least, i won't kick myself that hard... i'm not getting any work done today..at all!! i'm going nutz like everyone else as well!!!!!!!!
for me a 74 would be worse than a 40! I'm waiting on REG in Texas-glad I moved my BEC to the 29th since it looks like REG won't be out till later this week.
if you put in 100 hours and get a 40, that is worse than a 74. if you put in 0 hours and get a 40, that is better than a 74.
With that said, though, if I earn a fourth 74, it will be extremely difficult to recover. I may then move to Mexico, eat 25-cent tacos, and crap on the ground........
If Nasba release tonight, TX would be tomorrow?
3 - 74's in Audit! All 3 were just devestating.
haha.. the mexico comment was very funny! needed a laugh :)
If Aud is released tonight do we think Texas will be released tomorrow?
It is 3:00 Central now. I wonder how late AICPA would send out a batch of REG scores ?
40 must be the magic number because the first time I sat for FAR and thought "oh I can take any test without studying because I am a test taker" I mad a big 'ol 40!
was anything released anywhere today?
"I may then move to Mexico, eat 25-cent tacos, and crap on the ground........" LOL...that's what I needed on a Monday.
I saw an ealier post (from this morning) where a California Candidate claimed that his or her friend, also a Calif. Candidate, received his or her score. I'm starting to think that was pure horse poop because no other candidate via this site or CPA net has received REG
I could cash in my retirement funds and move down there and live real cheap that way; a fourth 74 on REG would be a darn good excuse to do just that.
yeah...if someone is caught trying to prank the score release crowd, I'll disable their IP from posting. Big loss, I know.
cross between an elephant and a rhino....... elephino
I'm thinking AICPA will do that late evening release for REG, as it did for BEC. That is wishful thinking at this point. It could be tomorrow. The thought of that is very unsettling. If this thing gets too deep into the week, I will be upset. I told a buddy that if I get a 75 or above on Reg, as opposed to a fourth 74, I'll be so ecstatic that on Memorial Day I will run necked down Skip Bertman Drive.
I'm waiting in TN for the AUD score to be release, and I just called NASBA's office in Nashville. The woman I spoke to claims they have not received any scores yet and to check back with them at the end of the week. I'm hoping she just gave me her 2 cent reply she gives everyone so as not to have to deal with them, and praying the AUD scores are released early this week.
Yep, I've called the Nashville office a few times over the last year as well. Not once have I ever gotten any thing other than we expect them near the "end of the month." They talk to us as if we are stuck in the 80s and do not have internet access, as though we are clueless. What rules would they be freaking violating if they simply told the truth, which is that the scores were received but are still being processed ? How hard would that be? Maybe Jeff's NASBA person can tell us why they keep giving us these standard, horse crap answers when we call.
Jeff, any thoughts on when TX will release AUD?
Did BEC really end up having a late night release? Im pretty sure that no one ended up getting their score. With that being said, I doubt we will get scores tonight (8pm-12pm est) I am pretty sure we will get our scores early tomrrow like always(6am-11am est) i am speaking in regards to AUD in NY..ive checked 150 times today already..
Jason - two people confirmed on Page 7 that they rec'd their BEC (NASBA) score Friday night. from Nan: "NASBA posted BEC scores just after 8pm Central Time on Friday."
dunno about TX...not even sure when they put out BEC...
problem is you would probably get shot or your head cut off in mexico right now... i would take the safe route and if things don't go well today, the fifth time has got to be the charm. Good Luck!
as much as i agree with you about NASBA lying to us i think they do it for their own benefit. I mean with all seriousness, Jeff was getting hate mail when all he was doing was being honest with us.. so imagine nasba getting all the hate mail
Anyone know when Texas released BEC?
Very true, I can only imagine what it must be like at those offices once 2-3 weeks pass and scores have not been released yet. Personally, I'm glad I'm on this side and don't have to respond to all the anticipation every testing window.
Yall are right. The AICPA is who I stay most upset with. Do we have to become members of AICPA ? I hope not. I can't stand those slimy worms.
Good Luck to everyone waiting... but especially to those waiting for REG....I must say that as an auditor, this has been the HARDEST exam of all to me! 2nd time around....I hope this is it!
I finally passed BEC!! I've taken this exam every window since I passed my first exam and received 2 74s and a 69. Now I just have AUD left next week and am trying to motivate myself to push through it. Please let the hell of the last two and a half years be over soon!!
hey guys, i posted a few days ago...everyone try and relax...i am waiting for audit...ive learned to trust jeff...refreshing every 10 seconds now is worthless, we all put the time in and we will be good! i knw its impossible, but lets relax!
I know someone in TX who got scores for BEC on Friday so that made me think AUD would be today.
I'm in Texas and I got my BEC score Friday morning.
I got my Bec score for NY on Friday night, and I'm hoping for Aud tonight. GL to everyone waiting.
Congratulations CM... That's big to keep attacking the exam every quarter and then finally pass. Good Job! Good luck on Audit!!!
Additionally CM if you have been an auditor for 2.5 years then the exam should cover a lot of familiar material. Make sure you pass before your 18 month window is up. You passed the two most in depth exams first. Congrats on that as well!
just called the TSBPA, they said nothing came in. I think it won't be till Wed. if they receive them tomorrow, they will run the batch at midnight and we'll have them wed. morning.Let'shope for a alot of good news!
Jeff, Today is May, 18th. I live in CA. waiting for my AUD result to come out..i am so worried.. I still have not gotton my result, its tourturing me here!! oh my god Char
fyi...my site might go black for an hour or so...server issue...apologies.
I am in CA as well still waiting for audit. One of my coworkers is waiting for audit too and he has yet to receive a score. So hopefully we will all see something soon.
Haven't heard anything from CA. Took FAR on april 8th...
I'm in Ohio. Sat for AUD on May 2nd and have not yet received my score. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Honestly the waiting is almost worse than the studying. Good luck to all of you!!
I took Audit April 25 (CA) and got my score on Sat morning...not sure what that means for the people that havent gotten their score (could just mean you have had a new sim) but if I understand correctly and you are in CA you might not want to hold your breath for the score since it doesn't sound like they release the scores in batches at least until wave 2, but I could be wrong, all I know is that some audit scores have been posted in CA....
Also, the total Audit scores released thus far is only 51 % according to Illinois. There will likely be another batch or 2 of Audit scores released, including those that are close to the cut (between 72 and 77).
It is only 2:00 California time, so my hope is that some of you will receive REG scores within the next few hours.
Any guesses as to when FAR will be published for Illinois?
I am in CO waiting for AUD score. Took the exam 4/4/09. 6 weeks... Does anyone understand why (with clear logic) they can't just set a # of days/weeks to report the scores and why they can't just release 100% (in all states) at the same time? (I don't mean literally the same second but over the course of 24 hours or something).
I took audit on 04/22 and going nuts to check every 10-15 min. I am preying...
I took AUD on 4/6 for NM and nothing..nada..zilch
Jeff, Do you know the run time of the Yaegar Regulation Audio Cram Lecture? I didn't see it mentioned on the website...but I may have missed it. Thanks! Your website is great!
Hi Jeff, I am from CT, and waiting on my AUD score. Should I be expecting them tonight?
Waiting for REG in CA. Any word?
Jeff, I know several wave one folks are still awaiting scores, but do you have any "bold predictions" for wave 2? Waiting on what I hope to be my last score and would just like some idea of a date to shoot for, so I dont try to pull up my grade 10 times a day for the next six weeks or so!!
Indiana-BEC was published 5/15 around 930pm.
What is considered Wave 1, up to 4/30? and up to 5/31 would be Wave 2 I guess?
AUD in CT is out!
The next wave of AUD scores in California are being released within the hour, I just got mine and I failed. :( Ironically, I scored a 71. AAHHHHHh Unfortunately, my friend at Deloitte received his score recently and he failed. Hopefully you have better luck in this wave!!!
I took AUD on 4/7 in NY....still no score :( The waiting truly is worse than the studying!!! I have a coronary every time I check the NASBA site...
Still waiting on REG in CA
I just got my AUD score in CO. I passed. 87!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still nothing in NH...took AUD 4/30
Hey, Any updates on REG CA? I feel scared to check out on CBA. Where r u checking it out on NASBA or CBA? Do let me know.
AUD in CT is out??? I just checked NASBA and still no result. Anyone from CT got their AUD scores?
GA-AUD released! I passed. 3 for 3 now just waiting for FAR.
So if AUD just got released in CA, does that mean that REG is definitely not happening on the same day?
no aud in ny
yea no audit in ny yet for me either.
Nothing for REG in california, any get their scores yet??
GA is a NASBA state.
Unless I missed something, REG has not been released by AICPA.
No REG in Cali =(
Does anyone know if MD is a NASBA state? Should I expect to hear this evening?
Any updates for FAR CA?
Is there a posibility we will receive REG in CA tonight?
MD is not NASBA. If you go to the state's site to get the score, it's not NASBA. I'm still waiting on AUD in MD as well. I thought they normally released before NASBA but maybe they had some issues. Hope I'm not in for another month wait.
Delaware is up!! I passed yayyyyyyyy
No AUD in MA yet ...
Delaware is up on what?
De on nasba
no aud in Ma unfortunately
Does anyone know when would REG be released in CA
I'm in MA. The BEC score that I got on Friday evening is no longer up on the MA NASBA site. What does that mean? Does it mean that they might be loading more scores? I'm waiting on REG, my last test.
No Audit in ME...
I'm in Delaware and I have no Audit grade. Looks like I might have to wait another month or so, just great...
ma audit is coming out either tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. NASBA informatio here...depending on when its uploaded tonight....crazy
Any news on AUD in LA??
Waiting for FAR & AUD in MA. Also waiting for your mom to come over.
site was down for a little while and i was dieing because you guys are my only communication to the outside world when it comes to who got what grade!!! as for me... still no audit in ny :(
This sucks....I still do not have an AUD score in CA. I hate the CPA exam. For all those of you who have passed, congratulations...but I am sooo jealous right now!
Waiting for REG too, no score came out yet. Will it be out tonight?
Can I assume if we havent gotten AUD in NY we aren't getting it tonight
no reg today..mayb tomorrow night or wed morning
Any news on SC audit? It is a NASBA state. Thanks Jeff!
aud comes out tonight by 1 or tomrorow mornign by 5 est
Any word on REG in PA??
Thanks. Ok, I better stay away from the computer before I go crazy.
California, you wrote, "The next wave of AUD scores in California are being released within the hour, I just got mine and I failed." Sorry about the score, but did you say you just received your score, after a first batch of scores was released for Audit? I have the same situation in Illinois. Waiting on my score?
Waiting for FAR & AUD in MA. Also waiting for your mom to come over. ^ ha ha ha ha ha ha. I wasn't expecting to read that!
Guys u all need a break... Here are the 10 tips on how to fail a exam 1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh gee, better get cracking," and scribble furiously. Turn it in a few minutes early. 2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!" 3. If it is a math or science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer or essay exam, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol. 4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor's left nostril. 5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read the questions aloud and debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out sarcastically, "I'm so sure you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is. 6. Bring cheerleaders. 7. Walk in, get the exam, and sit down. About five minutes into the exam, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand any of this. I've been to every lecture this semester! What's the deal? And who are you? Where's the regular guy?" 8. Bring a video game. Play with the volume at max level. 9. On the answer sheet find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example, write "I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs". Be creative. 10. Bring pets Lastly I am waiting for FAR in Delaware and preparing for AUD...and it's not fun.....not at all.....good luck to you all
I am waiting for REG in PA too
Anyone from CT got their AUD score?
I've heard that no one passed FAR this round. Sorry everyone.
anyone from MA want to grab a drink over these depressing/exciting scores? lol
Has anyone heard about REG in CA yet?? It's my last section! I can't take much more of this!
so if in CA we haven't received our AUD score it doesn't necessary mean we failed right?
Should we give up waiting in CA for a result on REG tonight? Is there still a chance?
To the person asking about SC, yes it is a NASBA state and I am here waiting to hear abt REG. I wonder what the AICPA guys would think if they read all these comments and SOB stories abt us!
Hi all. Has anyone in a NASBA state received an Audit score yet? Sorry if the question is redundant.
Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit. FML
One dude said he received his audit score through Delaware a few hours ago. I myself am testing through Delaware and have not received my grade.
Anyone else from Delaware receive their scores?
GA AUD is out. 94! I'm done! Thanks to everyone that posts here for helping me cope the past six months. You've all made it bearable! Jeff, Thanks for the great site and the moral support with your blog. I wish you the best with it!!
Nicely done Pete! Congrats on being done! Since GA is a NASBA state...did NASBA just release them?
Has anyone in Florida received AUD scores yet?
Prash - thank you. That was awesome!! Just the laugh I needed right now. Still waiting on my NASBA audit score in OH.
Does anyone have a reg score yet?
Does anyone know if Georgia has released REG yet?
I'm getting the same message when I try to get my score on the NASBA wesbite as Biff posted above (Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.) Is this what everyone else is getting?
KF: yep, same thing. again and again and again and again....
"I?m getting the same message when I try to get my score on the NASBA wesbite as Biff posted above (Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.) Is this what everyone else is getting?" It's the normal thing that shows up when your score isn't there yet...no worries. By the way - those of you who use Internet Explorer...double check your section ID just to be safe. Also hit control+F5 and it will refresh your cashe...I've heard of people's scores showing up when they did this.
Hey Jeff, I was wondering if it means anything when your other scores disappear on Nasba. My Bec score from Friday is not there anymore.
Thanks for the reassurance, Jeff :) I also tried your tip but my score still hasn't shown up....and my section id # is pretty much burned into my memory.
Yeah, I'm waiting for my audit score and just realized that my BEC score from Friday disappeared as well.
If you score disappears, that normally means that they're messing with the database...your score won't change.
Still waiting on OH AUD score. Anyone got AUD score in OH?
Are they releasing in alphabetical order or something? Like AZ, DE, ...GA...NY. If that is the case, mine is long way to go. I am in OH. This is killing me.
Jeff please answer this question that was asked earlier... oz says: May 18, 2009 at 8:50 pm so if in CA we haven?t received our AUD score it doesn?t necessary mean we failed right?
anonymous: you don't fail until you see a score of 74 or lower. i'm sure there is no hard and fast rule about when you receive the score deciding whether or not you passed.
hey- anyone ever heard of a case where the score shown on the nasba website turned out to be incorrect? like if the website showed a 75 and later the candidate was notified he/she actually scored a 57....
anyone out there waiting for AUD in KS?
Ok it is past my bedtime here on the east coast, but NASBA people please please please post as your audit scores comes out. Thanks everyone and especially thanks to jeff!
anyone get their test result yet?
char: nope
advisory score has never been changed for everyone i have ever spoken with... so i would highly doubt it ever changes... but never say never, but basically never
ah, cool, thanks. just always wonder if someone down the line has ever transposed a number...
Try to imagine a 71 being transposed into a 17. 71 is painful enough. I doubt it would happen. Checksums and authentication totals, y'know?
It seems like NASBA scores will not be published today. maybe tom.
Biff....i know it's not a rule that if we don't see our score that means we failed. But it just seems like the majority of the people who got their CA score have passed with a pretty high score. So I guess I'm just being overly paranoid in asking this.
yes, one would hope there would be satisfactory "controls" in place... but you never know...
visualize the 76, and it will happen, and it will come when it comes
yea, dont sweat it oz.... the first time i passed aud (and then let it expire like a moron) my score release was really delayed... and it was still above the mark.. dont beat yourself up yet!
Is there any shot of scores coming out this late? I am assuming this is done by people who go home in the evening, so even the fact that scores come out at 8pm suprises me... Is the actual release done by computers or what??? Basically what I am asking is, is there any reason to be checking at this hour???
oz I too am waiting for audit from CA (along with 2 of my coworkers)... checking this site earlier today I saw 2 people who said they received their scores and failed AUD in California... There was only one other person who claimed to have received their score. I assume they passed by the tone of their post..... soooo all I am saying is that I out of 3 people that I know who recieved audit scores 2 definitely failed
I took Audit in CT on May 8th and I got my score today...so apparently the cutoff for Wave 1 was not May 7th...just an FYI if you took it after May 7th, you should check to see if you have your score!
To: Is there any shot of scores coming out this late? I am assuming this is done by people who go home in the evening, so even the fact that scores come out at 8pm suprises me? Is the actual release done by computers or what??? Basically what I am asking is, is there any reason to be checking at this hour??? Yes. The scores get uploaded with some automated batch processing process. It used to come up only between 2-5am. Now, thanks in part to Jeff, it started coming out a little earlier. They seem not to have gotten the switch fully working, so it may come out in middle of the night, or they'll have to try again tomorrow night.
So there have been reports of scores being released by Delaware, Georgia, and Connecticut. These are all NASBA states I believe. Does this mean that if you are from one of these states and have not received grades yet, that you wont receive your grade until wave 2?
What is the difference in the way a NASBA states releases their scores and a non-NASB state releases their scores
@ Aarika, When did you receive your score? what time? I am from CT and havent recd my AUD score yet
I think watching paint dry is more fun that waiting for Wave 1 scores. Scratch that - I KNOW watching paint dry is more fun. At least you get to enjoy the side-effects of breathing the fumes.
Question: Where do I go to search for my scores if I sat for FAR in California?
To CAdreamin: The website is: https://www.dca.ca.gov/cba, but you need to have an active account to view your scores, and you also must have elected to have the electronic score release when you applied. Hope this helps... And I'm still waiting for my REG score...anyone in CA get theirs yet?
Go to the same place you entered your application information in for california. https://www.cba.ca.gov/cbt_public ... Log in and go to the status tab.
Its 1:06 a.m. in CA. My AUD result still hasnt came out yet. oh my god ..stress me out!!
CA AUD people: try not to get too overwhelmed, just wait for your score. i took it in 4/7 and still haven't received anything yet. the two friends I talked to today failed it. to me, by us not receiving our scores means that we haven't failed or passed until further notice.
dca.ca.gov/cba
I would just like to know when are they going to find the scores!!
ny aud, no score but my other scores are not being shown...
No scores at all being shown. Looks like they probably had another issue with the site. Awesome...
STILL NO AUDIT IN NY
Well i can't see neither of my previous scores on NASBA...which means they must be updating the scores.
No Audit in NY as of yet, taken April 27
I checked my AUD score at 8:02 EST PM and it was posted. I am as NASBA state. Just thought this would help ppl know it is released in the evening now... Waiting on Reg also, did CA receive it yesterday or IL? Any chance NASBA will post their's tonight? Thanks!!
nothing on NASBA. i'll check when i get to work in an hour, but NASBA said this morning at the "latest" for AUD scores...maybe another error in uploading them??? Jeff, any insight?
NASBA told me that I have a score given to them by the AICPA (on 5/15), so maybe within the hour?? i dont know if i cna wait till tomorrow morning...this is getting rediculous
'NASBA told me that I have a score given to them by the AICPA (on 5/15), so maybe within the hour?? i dont know if i cna wait till tomorrow morning?this is getting rediculous' what state are you? this is a good sign that for rets of us that you were told they have your grade but it isnt up yet
Anything from Texas for Aud? Nothing for me, but I just noticed at the bottom of the screen that it says last updated 5/16/2009 at 3:15 so maybe next tiem its updated? Anyone know how often the site is updated?
They may be having IT issues again if some scores have come out for AUD but others have not (I'm taking people at their word that they have received their AUD score...we're all grown ups here...this isn't the place to "punk" people). My NASBA contact is on vacation this week...they said they'd try to fwd me info from the AICPA as it came it...nothing on REG yet. I've been through this misery many times myself...I understand the frustration. Jeff
No REG in IL yet. Hopeful that it will be in this morning.
Jeff, "Nicely done Pete! Congrats on being done! Since GA is a NASBA state?did NASBA just release them?" Sorry I hadn't responded before now. Honestly, I don't know when they were released. I promised my wife I wouldn't look at the score until she was in the room (Good luck!) and she runs a restaurant so I didn't look at the NASBA site until about 11:30pm EST last night. It was worth the wait!!
"NASBA told me that I have a score given to them by the AICPA (on 5/15), so maybe within the hour?? i dont know if i cna wait till tomorrow morning?this is getting rediculous" MA here.
Ma here- NASBA said in their email that it would be posted "today at the latest" but they never release during the day in MA at least (I thought anyway), so im dying here...last one....
no IL reg yet...common
Has anyone, anywhere seen an FAR score yet? I received BEC yesterday, and I have failed FAR like 5 times, so I am afraid to look....
someone just said they got audit in colarado.. where the fu*k is NY audit?????????????????
FAR comes out today right? Is there a certain time it's expected to be released for MA? I have itchy 'check my score' finger and I cant' focus on anything else.
"NASBA said in their email that it would be posted ?today at the latest? but they never release during the day in MA at least (I thought anyway), so im dying here?last one?." -are you talking about REG or another section.
i have a bad feeling that audit for ny wont be out this morning. Usually on the oasis page where they ask you for your jurisdiction # it says scores have been attended but not yet recieved. Then just before release it says that scores are reported and to call xxx # if you havent gotten it yet. When i see that msg I know scores will be out the next morning and the past 3 times it has worked liked that for me. I am still seeing my score was attended but not yet recieved. (AUD in NY)
aud wont come out this morning, itll be tomorrow early am as ususal
To all those waiting on FAR scores in NY- I called a Nasba representative yesterday, and she said the FAR scores have no yet been released by the AICPA. She said I could expect the scores online by the end of this week (which I assume means Friday). While it is possible this is a generic response Nasba reps give, I've just convinced myself it's true so I wont check like a mad woman
any word on REG scores for VA? really stinks that we are no longer able to check our scores on the VA board website since that ability no longer functions on their new and improved website
How do you receive AUD scores on the 15th!!! and not release them until the 19th or more likely the 20th!!!???? Jeff, any idea if they will make an exception and release during the day today? specifically if a Tech issue occured? MA-AUD here
No REG in California yet.....
No REG scores in TX yet but they did update there website at 3:19 this morning so if u are waiting on BEC or AUD u may want to check....
No REG score in MI yet either.
Still waiting on REG in PA here. Any thoughts on if REG will be posted by the end of the week?
No REG score in PA yet. Any thought on if REG will be posted by the end of the week?
no REG scores in RI yet :( looks like it won't be until tomorrow
Call Va BOA for your REG score. Still waiting to FAR but was told yesterday that AUD, REB, and BEC were available in VA.
I am still waiting on my FAR score in FL. The waiting is worse than taking the test. I just want my score before I take REG on the 30th. If we find out Friday, that could make or break my weekend. This is so frustrating.
Stephanie - Texas only updates their scores once a day at around 3:15am every morning. If your score isn't there in the morning, it won't be there until the next day. I've worn out the website...so I know. :) Also - I got my FAR score back in February and Texas is now sending emails letting you know your score is posted. I didn't get my email until later that morning though (8 or 9 o'clock). Way too slow for me...I already check it before I get out of bed!
AUD out in Georgia! I got an 82! Two down, two more to go!
Does anyone feel like this score release is worse than usual? Usually the releases are the day after the previous part that was already released, so I would have expected REG today. I am waiting on REG in MA - hoepfully my last one.
Last window, the score release were all over the place...i won't be surprise if FAR is release before REG.
Good luck Erin, I am also waiting for REG in MA. This is my last one. I received my BEC score on the MA NASBA web site on Friday & now that score is not there. I wonder if that means that they are uploading scores for the other parts now.
Robb from NY- what do u mean that it says that your score is attended to but not yet received? I took AUD 4/1 and it says by me Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit when is NY coming out?????????????????????
Amen...I'm waiting on #4 too. Does anybody feel guilty not studying? Just sitting here waiting? I almost feel like I should be studying just in case. (Not that I would EVER do that...but it just doesn't feel right!) I guess even if I failed...it was a much needed break...right?
I'm kind of out of the loop - I took my BEC exam in April and I still don't have a score. I took the test in Wisconsin. Any feedback is appreciated!! Thanks!
REG has not been released yet by the AICPA...just got an e-mail...
Hi ANS, I had to talk myself out of studying "just in case". I didn't feel that confident after taking REG & I almost went back to hit the books immediately after taking the test. Anyway I figure that I have the whole blackout month of June to study If I have to.
anyone call NASBA about AUD? if someone leaves the number I will call
waiting on #4 - That is what I'm telling myself. I am waiting on REG too. I don't feel that confident either. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for a failing grade just in case. I've got until the end of February 2010 until any expire, but regardless, it'll be a hard pill to swallow.
i meant in regards ton AUD NY
If REG has not been released by the AICPA, then that's mean the earliest it will be release by NASBA is tomorrow (that is if the AICPA release them today)...
I have a bad feeling that audit for ny wont be out this morning. Usually on the oasis page where they ask you for your jurisdiction # it says scores have been attended but not yet recieved. Then just before release it says that scores are reported and to call xxx # if you havent gotten it yet What is the oasis page?
Any news on FAR? I took it in PA, and I'm am really anxious to get that score.
OK. I've been great up until now...but now I'm starting to hit the refresh button frequently to check on the availability of my FAR score. Not getting ANYTHING done at work.
Waiting on AUD in KS.
is it me or does it feel like everything is a MESS in this WAVE!!! EVERYTHING
For LA candidates: I spoke with our coordinator, and she said that they received some of the AUD scores yesterday (Mon), and that those will be posted soon (don't know when 'soon' is). Mine was not received, so she said to check back with her next week because they plan on receiving FAR and REG before the 2nd wave of AUD. I asked if if this meant that we were borderline, and she said "not necessarily". I hope this helps with some of y'alls anxiety...just try to stay positive :)
Jeff, You said you got an email back...any news on AUD + NASBA? Why there is a delay and if we have to wait until tomorrow morning (or tonight)? Because of the glitch i guess im hoping they make an exception and fix it today and run the process today. Any insights from that email?
Waiting on #4/ANS - same boat. I debateddoing MC every day after work just in case. My husband said I wasn't allowed to bc I'm a monster when I study. I just keep praying I passed - I don't think I can go through it again....
Yeah, I've also spoken with the Louisiana Coordinator a few times over the last 12 months and found her to be helpful. I'm glad to see that she provided some good info. once again. But I am still wondering what in the heck the AICPA did yesterday? My guess is they sat around and smoked cigarettes all day and did not grade the REG scores like they should have.
~NO AUDIT IN NY~
I'm just nervous as I had a passing score on BEC and now my score has disappeared. Is it likely that they messed up the posting of the BEC scores and I received the wrong score? :-/
When the AICPA release the scores to NASBA, NASBA have to then forward the scores to the Board of Accountancy for approval. Could it be that the board of accountancy is the hold up?
anybody got audit scores from OK board?
What is up with NASBA? I saw my BEC score two days ago.. Now its gone. It better not change!
The state boards could be the hold up. I wonder if AICPA sends them to the state boards first or if NASBA sends them to the state boards. I don't know. I would think that most of the state boards would be slow.....probably don't have a lot of staff.
As an FYI, I emailed the help desk at the ILBOA website concerning the release of audit scores and how they released only half of them. There response was as follows: Hi The amount of AUD scores we received is smaller. We hope to receive additional scores but cannot say when or for sure that we will receive additional scores. Have a great day. [deleted] on behalf of the Help Desk. Board of Examiners 100 Trade Centre Drive Suite 403 Champaign IL 61820-7233 Phone Number 217-531-0950 Toll Free Number 866-782-7230 Fax Number 217-531-0960 E-Mail help@ilboa.org Jeff, from reading your responses, the AICPA releases these scores to CA, IL and NASBA. Do you know if the AICPA plans on releasing additional Audit scores? Thanks for the help!
AUD guys and gals...I think you have to remember grades do not get posted mid-day, period...if someone who is in a nasba state can get in touch w a rep and ensure we are getting them tomorrow (if someone wants to give me the ny number I will call) then we can all relax a bit. I am sure everyone did fine!
My BEC score disappeared from the MA NASBA site too. I should have printed it out.
Waiting on REG in MA...hopefully its my last!
Thank you Jeff for letting us know REG scores have not been released yet. Now I can stop checking so often and get something done!
NASBA REG wont be out until 1 day after Illinois releases gets REG. Since they haven't received it yet, don't expect it today. https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/
Hi Jeff, Is there a way that NASBA can set something up so we get an e-mail sent to us when our score is posted? Sort of like an alert e-mail telling us that our "score is now available--log on to website to check". I don't see why that would be so hard for NASBA to do...it would save them lots of phone calls and it would save us lots of time. -Butch
Has anyone received a FAR score yet?
Jeff, Site reccomendation for the future maybe...divide these posts for release predictions into each of the 4 tests? Just a thought!
Any word on FAR release today for MA? Can't Focus....
Im with Butch on that idea. That's a great idea.
Anyone here about audit in MD yet?
By the way for anybody that knocks Jeff...you realize that we would just be sitting refreshing probably about a day after we took the test for a grade, or on the other hand our grade might be out for a week and we might not even know it?
Butch - good recommendation...I hope to have someone from NASBA on a future podcast (my first one sucked...my 2nd one was better...still working out the kinks...)...I'll ask. re: dividing up score prediction posts. I can do this...but I figured people would want *one* place to post and read vs four. People waiting on REG don't want to have to monitor the BEC post to gauge when their score will come out. Thoughts?
No audit in MD yet...and I sat for it on April 1st...
I just called NASBA and they said the scores for Audit/Reg/Financial can be released as late as the end of June. Does anyone who has taken the exam before know if this is likely? I was under the impression we'd receive the scores sometime this week..
Jeff, I think four boards might be nice, because everyone is interested in the tests they took, so it might be easier than reading posts about sections that you don't really care about.
"I just called NASBA and they said the scores for Audit/Reg/Financial can be released as late as the end of June. Does anyone who has taken the exam before know if this is likely? I was under the impression we'd receive the scores sometime this week.." That's the standard company line...they say that every window.
NY, it sounds like they just gave you a standard answer of "If you don't get it now, at the latest you'll get it in June." That's just with the second wave of scores. I think they were probably just trying to get rid of you.
Has anyone got Audit scores through the mail yet? I am kind of giving up on NASBA online... would we ever receive them in the mail before they were posted online??
I actually like to read what everyone has to say about their tests! It gives me way to gauge when I'll get mine!
It's easier for *me* to only monitor one post when people ask me questions...I'll say that. Maybe I'm being selfish :)
I agree with Mindy. I like the 4 board idea too. I keep skimming through the comments to see what people that took my exam are saying....
I concur with the 4 different boards because MOST people take the exams 1 at a time.
PA, my experience has been that the online scores were available up to 2 weeks before receiving it in the mail. I am also taking it in PA.
No offense...but because I don't took FAR this window....Who GIVES a shiznight about all you AUD and REG people!!! :)
Alright, good point about monitoring Jeff! Nevermind!
I like it this way. I enjoy tracking the entire release from 1 area. Hell I may still do this after I finish. I sure don't want to work. Work is boring. This is real.
Aaron that is funny....but ohhh so true! I only really want to hear about my REG peeps!
Jeff, your Wednesday night prediction for REG is looking good. If Calif gets them today, especially if before this evening, I could see NASBA having them posted by tomorrow night. That would give them all day tomorrow to prepare them.
Jeff, I can see the logic behind four boards being easier for readers. I'm not sure whether I agree - but it's a moot point. If you were charging to view the site, reader convenience MIGHT be more important, but as it is, it's not being selfish to make YOUR site more convenient for YOU. If somebody wants to not only pay the hosting fees, but also pay for your time, then they might be entitled to some decision-making authority, but otherwise - DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
Jeff, Any predictions on wave 2. Yes it is sad that I am predicting when your predictions will be released.
Thanks for the update Illinois Candidate. I took AUD on 4/2 in IL and have yet to receive my score and was wondering the same thing about the small percentage of AUD scores released. It was my first exam which makes the wait feel even longer.
Any word on AUD in NY yet? I'm dying ovah here!!!!
I don't like the 4 post idea for the reasons Jeff mentioned. But the most important updates do come from Jeff. Therefore, maybe there should be something at the top of the page, like a box, that houses only Jeff's comments. (like "Breaking News" that would scroll his comments) His comments would also flow through the dialogue as they do now, but all of his comments would be in one place. That would save time for people looking through what update info Jeff has previously posted. Then there should be a place for answers to questions that just keep being asked over and over as new people find this site.
Ok, for everyone who took FAR in CA. I have called the state board, and they said that they have began releasing FAR scores. They are released randomly. So I guess that some people may have received their scores by now. Anyone?
I'm waiting for both REG and FAR, and just to update everyone, I've got nothing so far. I'm in IL.
I added a poll in the sidebar...I see the merits of both...please vote if you have a preference...
Hi everyone: I have just called CA Board of accountancy again, was going to ask them how often they release the score. (this was with another representative). She told me that she believed that the 1st wave has already been released... the second wave will be released mid june. she asked me to just check the score once a week.
I voted. When it comes to the comments, it's nice to see when the other sections come in. Once I hear people commenting on their Reg scores I know I should start looking for my FAR score.
Has anyone received their REG scores in CA
Jeff, I waste enough time in the day just to come and read what other people are saying and to find out when I can expect my grade. I could imagine how much time you have to dedicate to keeping this site up and running. You have done enough for everybody here. Don't make it any harder then it has to be. This site is good the way it is. Now, if I can just get my REG grade I could move on with my life.
I am waiting for Reg in GA. I realize it will probably be up late Wed evening. I ran out of time on this exam and did not finish the simulations. Any advice on my chances of passing at all?
Nothing in Cali and I'm going crazeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff, since I reccomended it I can revoke it. I say 4 boards is not an option, you do enough already!!
re: 4 posts vs. 1 post I don't know how much this would take to implement, I don't mean to suggest something that would be a huge burden. If it wouldn't be too rough, then perhaps this could be the best of both worlds: One post, but the comment box could have either a radio button or checkboxes to say which exam section the post pertains to (checkboxes since posts sometimes pertain to more than one section). Then each post could display the section next to it so those who are only interested in their section could easily skim past the others. Or, if feasible, but I have a hunch it might not be, maybe posts could be sorted by date *and* section. Just a thought! Waiting on REG (last section!) in TN... (and pulling out my hair!)
Leah's idea is great! the section name next to your name or the date would make it sooo easy to skim through the comments, but if you happen to have extra time, you can also read everyone else's!
the voting box is very cool. I agree though. It will probably be too much work to sort out 4 posts, especially because there is so much overlap.
oh I missed your idea, Leah. that is a good idea.
I cant wait anymore? I am going to write them..!! going crazy!!
Anyone heard anything about FAR in TN?
Leah's idea - for section name next to your name, we could that ourselves (see my name above).
Someone said earlier that Calif has received Financial., which would mean that FIN was released before REG. This would not shock me, but until someone from Calif actually receives a Financial score, I guess we won't know. Jeff, doesn't your source tell you point blank which section is being released? The only 2 that have been released, to my knowledge, are BEC and AUD.
What happens when Becker "Expires"? Can we no longer access it or what?
I was thinking of calling IL to see what the hold up is, but don't want to if someone else already has. Do you just call and say, "Hey, when will I get my score?"
Did anyone for NY AUDIT contact nasba?
yep - they tell me exactly which section section has been released...I asked them about REG this morning..."nothing yet" was the response.
I was wondering about Becker expiting too. Mine expires June 17th and I still have 2 sections to pass.
Just called IL board, was told FAR score was not released yet. The lady let me check back later this week.
I took BEC in the first wave in TN, and I still have not gotten my score. Has anyone from TN gotten their BEC results for Wave 1?
A co-worker of mine got BEC in GA
I am surprised you haven't gotten your BEC score yet. As for Audit, supposedly only 51 % were released, which means that another 10 to 30 % or so should be released after a batch of REG and a batch of FIN have been released.
Does anyone know if they send out the people who passed first . And then people who didn't next?
Does 51% in ILL mean 51% everywhere else...I mean NY has zero reported AUD grades it seems...have we confirmed the system was in fact screwed up?
In the past, the only time scores trickle in by batches is in Wave 2 after the "big" Wave 2 release. If you don't get your score in Wave 1 ~ don't expect to get it until Wave 2...just saying this based on what I've observed in the past...
RE: Becker... Becker expires after 12 months and you won't be able to access your account online or have access to any of the homework questions (which I feel is the most important). You do have your book and the questions in the book. If you've completed all lectures and scored 90% or better on the homework, then you're eligible for TFCH (tuition free continuing help), which is supposed to be a "discount" on receiving updated materials. (The discount didn't turn out to be very much). Hope this helps....
ive been emailing candidatecare@nasba.org they respond in an hour or three
Just called Texas. They said they haven't received AUD yet so no scores today.
Ok. This scoring process is getting a bit intolerable. Jeff, in your opinion, has NASBA released all Wave 1 grades for AUD? I took AUD on April 11th, and I don't think I can wait until mid- to late June without sleeping a full night because I wake up checking my grade multiple times every night. I thought I read some earlier posts of people receiving their AUD scores in NASBA states. Do you think this is a reasonable guess that wave 1 AUD is over?
Wave 1 is not over. Some NASBA states have not received AUD yet. Nasba told me my AUD score was received on 5/15, but it has not been posted yet...some states havent released them for one reason or another
Please - no discussions of altering software...I will delete it. Thanks for understanding.
Jeff- I am currently an out-of-work auditor in the great state of GA. Your site has helped me tremendously in terms of motivation as I, also, have had some scores expire and had to sit for several exams, several times over. I would like to "give back", if you will, and I was wondering if you needed any help maintaining the site or doing research, etc... I would love to contribute my time as I cannot contribute $$$ (see previous para. "unemployed"). :-)
Umm... seriously, where did my score go?? Was it a delusion? Jeff, any ideas? I see I am not the only one whose score vanished off the NASBA site. We were going to go snake shopping tonight! Help!!
As far as Becker, the discount does not apply to the self study, does it?
Has anyone from Kansas received scores for any of the sections?
Jane - it happened to me once too...they are just updating the database... https://www.another71.com/2008/03/cpa-exam-bec-scor.html
CA - Audit score has not come out yet.
I have Becker that I purchased. It was installed on my laptop and it crashed. I have 1 more month before it expires and just want to be able to study for one more section. Any ideas? I have tried it in another computer, but of course cannot access it, and the files on the CD are encoded so I can't read them either.
just call Becker. they will help.
Well, Jeff, now I am going to die a thousand little refreshing deaths. I appreciate the info! It just seemed to good to be true, BEC took me totally by surprise the first time and I do not trust it! I am unreasonable worried that the site will update me back to a 74. Thanks for this site, it does help to have some info and not be left in the void...
Still waiting for audit in New Mexico!
Is there an easier way to print the homework questions or passmaster questions without clicking on each one and clicking print?
so Jeff wat has been released on NASBA so far..?
Does anyone know about the FARE scores for Texas?
Only BEC has been released as far as I know...
I got all excited when BEC came out ealier than we expected, and now here we all are.....waiting. Meanwhile, AICPA and/or our state boards are farting around with this thing.
so if some BEC scores were recinded and are no longer visible, does that mean that BEC may be re-released tonight and AUD on Thursday!!?P?P?P
My productivity had decreased significantly since i discovered these posts today. Who do i bill for this time? Still waiting in FL for FAR. This kind of stress is so unhealthy!
"I would like to ?give back?, if you will, and I was wondering if you needed any help maintaining the site or doing research, etc" Hey Hilary...I appreciate that. After you pass the exam - if you would submit an article for the "My CPA Exam Story" series - encourage others with your success story...that would be greatly appreciated!
Marie.. Thats so hilarious.. I would be having the same problem f I were working public.. Thank G-D I am still in private that I can abuse the system for now... :)
I heard that Pres. Obama is going to have the government control the issuing of CPA licenses starting in 2011. Is this true?
What, so does this mean our BEC scores may actually change? I got a 79...it may not actually end up that I failed it, can it?
I'm about ready to jump on a plane and head to the florida keys. I can't take this anymore. Tracking this thing was fun at first, but now I'm about to go crazy.
Anyone heard about AUD in TN?
So does this mean that my 79 on BEC may not actually have been that? It will be terrible to think that I passed it just to find out that I didn't...
Jeff, Is it safe to say if we do not see AUDIT tonight then assume we are in wave 2? Thanks for everything!
It is raining in Florida right now, not much to look at. And if i didnt have REG scheduled for the Saturday after memorial day, i would be at the beach too. What was i thinking? Oh yeah that i want to get this over with and make more money like Peter Olento says!
Izabella - i totally agree with you! hahaha!!! i was in public previously...and now i'm in the industry - and totally abuse the system to check my score. still no score for REG in CA yet
Is there any chance of passing the exam if you did not finish one of the simulations?
I didn't finish my 2nd FAR sim and I passed...I only had time for 1 tab and the written comm (always do the written comm first). No worries...
To anonymous. I did not finish one of my AUD simulations. I could not find the "model paragraph" and I left some parts blank when the clock ran down. I was sure that I botched the parts that I did finish. I got a 94 on AUD. So I think that maybe they didn't grade the parts that I botched.
Thank you, Jeff! I am waiting for REG and cried when I left cause I hadn't finished. I still may not have passed, but now I have a little more hope.
Michelle, I'm coming to Calif to hang out with you so that we can wait this thing out together. I've been thinking of moving there anyway. We'll just set up a safe place to meet that has internet access and go from there.
I didn't finish my 2nd REG sim either...got a 92
Jeff, your comments regarding not finishing the simulations are such a relief! I assumed I do not even have a shot at passing since I did not finish, at least now there is some hope. I never imagined the CPA could be so stressful.
The very first exam I took was AUD I was so over being there so I actually skipped an entire SIM (yes I don't know what I was thinking, I had plenty of time) and I got a 79. Waiting for FAR in Cali, hoping REG and FAR get switched again this window. If I don't pass I lose AUD and BEC. Note to those just starting...taking two in the same window seems like a good idea but don't.
people, the trick to being relaxed while waiting is to totally convince yourself that you failed.I've been in a very mild depressive state ever since i took the exam but at least I'm not jumping from my chair every time it takes the NASBA webpage a few seconds longer to load.
I am NY and I e-mailed that Candidate Care guy and I was told I am in Wave 2 :-/
Is it totally out of the question for NASBA or any of the state boards for that matter to receive two sections and post at once? It seems as though AUD hasn't been released from what I've read...so I guess that is pushing back REG and FAR as well?
Phew!! With the speed & efficiency of this new score releasing process...it sure is a good thing that the "wait got a little easier" for all of us. Very impressive!! Let's see...if I had to grade NASBA/AICPA on their efforts, I'd give them, let's say, a 71. FAIL. Of course I will wait another month before letting them know their score so their arbitrary 18-month window shuts a little more. Mwhaa ha ha ha!! I'd love to see them squirm! Still waiting for FAR in WA.
Jeff, What is the latest status on score releases/sections? I'm waiting on FAR in CA..is it now most likely pushed back to Wed/Thur?
I didn't finish my FAR second simulation but I passed with an 82...on the other hand, I was running out of time on REG so I skipped the first simulation (after doing the memo) because it looked really hard, and went straight to complete the 2nd one instead....unfortunately I didn't pass by 3 points (72)....so moral of the story, maybe finish a full simulation vs. trying to jump to the next one...
-me(AUD) - when did you sit for AUD? Where did you email the Candidate Care guy?
I emailed candidatecare@nasba.org Took it April 24, I am hoping they are just saying that because they know if they say they have my grade they will have me at their front door ya know? Jeff, maybe generic?
JOEY that really made my day!!! thank you so much... hahahaha:)
Yeah, everyone probably failed anyways...so just relax
Jeff, I got a 71 on my AUD, my performance on MCQ was comparable to other candidates, but it shows that my communication was weaker. I am positive I did a good job on the communication.I have 2 questions : If you ask for a rescore, how long does it take? I want to retake in beg. of July, will they let me know before then? What is the process, contact AICPA, I really feel I did a decent job with the comm. from a content point of view and a technical writng as well. Will I still be able to schedule it for July if I already asked for a rescore or do I have to wait. Thanks,
yea im interested in who this candidate care guys is too. I sat for AUD April 1st in NY.
I have this recurring nightmare that I refresh and refresh with no results til I go insane. Then as the men in white jackets are wheeling me out of the room I realize that I was using the wrong section ID the whole time.....
I took my AUD exam in CA on 4/19 and have not received my score. My friend took AUD at the same testing center in CA on 5/14 (a month later!) and she already has her score!!! Did I miss Wave 1? Why am I getting screwed???
if april 1st doesnt have it no one does...i sent a clarification email..ill let you know what they say
TX_09 Are Aud results out in Texas?
I thought the cut off for wave one was May 8th???
Yeah, Aud (TX)scores were out this morning :(
Fabulous...did you take REG in this testing window? If so, did you receive your score already??? I am in CA too, and am waiting for REG...it's my last one! I'm going crazy over here!
Hi Jeff: I'm getting different answers in regards to FAR. Do you think FAR has released in any states?
What about Maryland? Any word yet?
I took my AUD exam in CA on 4/19 and have not received my score. My friend took AUD at the same testing center in CA on 5/14 (a month later!) and she already has her score!!! Did I miss Wave 1? Why am I getting screwed??? Your friend who took the exam on 5/14 is lying about his/her score. You can't get your score in less than a week. I too am waiting for my audit grade in NY.
Maybe they had a bunch of new simulations on the audit exam this window? I'm waiting in MD, tested 4/11. Seems like there is a very low percentage of AUD reporting. IL BOA says they normally get 75%-80% and they only got 51% AUD this window. Very strange. Someone mentioned an AUD Wave 1.5. Maybe MD is waiting for this next mythical batch.
TX_09 thats funny because I called them earlier and they said not scores had been released becasue they hadn't received any yet. The site only updates once a day at 3:15 am. I'm not sure how you would have gotten your scores already. Has anyone else in Texas gotten their scores?
Anonymous at 12:37, there is no way your friend got her score in 5 days. Either she is confused and looking at a score for a different test, or she is screwing with you. Or maybe you have gone insane and imagined the whole thing. As they say, join the club, we have jackets.
any MA news? specifically AUD, but anything????
I'm in Texas and I don't have my audit score either
I received confirmation from NASBA via email that my score will be mailed this week, but I still haven't received my score online (AUD). So, I guess the USPS is going to get my grade to me faster than NASBA's website? Imagine that....ha.
Sarah: Yeah, this is my last shot before FAR and BEC expire so I am REALLY going crazy with this wait. This time around, I did not hesitate on answering anything....I just went with my gut and ended up finishing 20 mins early! I am hoping that was a good and not a bad sign though.... Oddly, my exam's MQ's on this window was TOTALLY different then last one (the 72 one). Last time I had a lot of calculations which took a lot of time for me.. on this one, hardly any...mainly concepts of Business law... Crossing my fingers and hoping for the very best! I keep telling myself "I want to be a CPA...I want to be a CPA" =)
Chris, so can we assume that NASBA has the AUD scores and will release them online tonight to Wed night?
Audit seems to be coming out slow all over the country... Review Jeff's article about is discussion with the NASBA (or AICPA, i forget), they say right in the article that if you get a new simulation, you will not get it till Wave 2. Additionally from a previous Illinois post, the state reported it received less AUD scores than expected. In reviewing CA posts of audit exam scores, there are a few people that have actually received them (see page 9&10)... If I don't see anything by tonight, I would guess we had a new simulation and we won't be seeing these grades until June.
The guy replied to me saying AICPA has not released my grade, what a bummer
Totally agree with Jane! Usually when someone said "I know someone..." or "a friend of mine..." is not trustable.
You could receive a score within a week but only BEC. For ex, if one took BEC on May 8, they likely would have received it on May 14 or 15. But the friend who allegedly took it on May 14 is full of horse puckey.
Any ideas on FAR from NASBA? I took it in Missouri on April 1st. The wait is beginning to kill me. I've now sat for 3 parts (all but REG) and have only received 1 score back, which was luckily a 76. Now I'm praying I get FAR before Friday. Then I can start worrying about BEC. Thanks! All the posts are keeping me entertained at work!
I believe that is everyone's assumption right now, yes.
HELP! I am having trouble prioritizing. I have to keep track of work, this blog, and my face book! Sorry work...
Hey Jeff, I think we originally thought REG would be on NASBA late on Wednesday evening. Do you think this is still the case?
If you tested after May 8, you will NOT receive your scores until mid to late June. And remember: Not all scores for all candidates with exams in the early date range will receive scores in May. Some candidates will have to wait until June.
Not a freaking thing happened yesterday, and now this day is half over and still nobody has received REG or FIN in California. This is brutal.
When it is all said and done we should get points for the wait! Those of us with 71-74's could use the bump!
We need a wireless refresh key!!
work. what work? i'm pretending that i've passed my #4 by writing my CPA journey. :P b/c i need something to distract me and to make me look busy at my tiny cube. :P still no reg at CA yet
What makes this slow process so shocking is the fact that we are in the 21st century.
When a Virginia or California person writes that they have received REG, I will be so excited that I will probably jump and hurt my knee on this keyboard rest.
I look like my puppy died after getting the email saying I am in wave 2, I am praying it is generic
How has this NASBA process gotten worse since i last used in in December?!! Its called progression...I thought moving forward was the goal
I just got my REG in CA.
Reg in CA - When did you take Reg? I took mine 4/21 no Reg score for me in CA. Ahhhh!
HA HA Just Kidding. I don't have a Black Berry or a spray on tan so I can't be from CA.
Oh and I didn't get my REG score. Still painfully waiting.
block him, tool
Agreed
Just having a little fun. Don't get your pantys in a ruffle.
You miserable piece of cow dung ! Don't joke like that !
Wow. Hey, I've got an idea for Jeff! Rename this site... AnotherVacuousAnonymousPost.com Brilliant!!
If you are going to joke, it should be funny. That wasn't funny and I think you should be blocked from the site.
Hey Anonymous don't hate on us in CA.
fun is everyone here meeting for drinks after we pass, not that haha
At least the crying stoped for a while.
Which Board is the fastest at posting scores, California or Virginia ?
Actually Texas does have their audit scores, mine was posted this morning.
Hey guys, Any updates on Reg for CA?
I would love to have the piece of mind that im in the 2nd wave and that all audit scores for wave 1 have been posted but I am not convinced because as far as I know NO ONE IN NY got AUDIT yet. Did anyone in NY get audit yet?
Nothing here yet. Ive been hiding in my office all day, checking evey 10 min. It's nerve wrecking!!!
so far only REG has been posted for NASBA
hey ny aud, i got an email saying i was wave 2 but im with you, wont believe it til i hear someone say they got theirs
does anyone have any idea whats going on with texas AUD?
Yeah! that was totally unnecessary from the "anonymous" person. Not funny at all.....
Is Reg posted on NASBA???
I think that knot head accidentally put REG, when she meant to put BEC. She needs some coffee.
I have been shocked before by this crappy process, but if AICPA doesn't release REG or FIN at some point today, I will be floored. Something has to be coming.
oh god. by the way how to locate on NASBA abt. the results. I am unable to find any link. Plz some one let me know. How can I check atleast....
Izabella, did you mean REG or BEC?
I'm still waiting on AUD too.
im sooooo sorry i meant to say BEC.. no need for name calling.. not a knot head .. thank you!!!!!!!!!
SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY :(
No, not a knot head, just stressed and probably burnt out like the rest of us :)
yes indeed.. Thank you Angela..

I looked into a rescore after my 2nd 74...it's not worth it...you'll have the results from taking the exam again before you get the results of your appeal. I got an e-mail from someone who scored HIGHER in every category than the avg passing candidate (according to them...taking their word for it...) and they failed. The diagnostic is not an exact report on how you did. I would get a cram and sit again...that's what I would do.
Does anyone got NY AUD??
Any other PA test takers hear anything? Specifically AUD???
Please don't make joke on score releasing!!!! It's NOT funny at all!!
by the way...if you call me names...I'll probably laugh. If you try to prank score-hungry candidates...I'll ban your IP from posting. I don't like to "be that guy"...but it's not cool to do that. It makes people think that they've missed the cut for Wave 1 and it's not fair. Thanks.
Hi Everyone. I received my AUD score last night, 88, and I am in GA which is a NASBA state. I promise I got the score... and I do mean Audit...
I feel for you NY Candidates. That board really sucks. I can remember you guys getting screwed in the last window too.
between refreshing this page , NASBA and CPANET I'm reminded of this Onion article Employee's Multitasking Doesn't Include Work PHOENIX?Though 27-year-old paralegal Pete Gossling prides himself on his ability to efficiently accomplish numerous tasks at once, none of these activities is actual work, his coworkers said Tuesday. "It's amazing?he'll be carrying on eight IM conversations at once, keep six web browsers open to different YouTube clips, and still be able to forward e-mail after e-mail of jokes from his uncle," said legal secretary Jennifer Paige, adding that when Gossling is out of the office, he uses his PDA to compete in several online poker games simultaneously. "I've never once received a work-related e-mail from him or seen him working on a legal brief, however." Gossling admitted that he often overextends himself so much that work simply isn't possible.
jeff i wasnt making jokes.. sorry it was an accident... i really meant to write BEC not REG.. :(
That is great news to hear that a GA/NASBA Candidate got an AUD Score. The same coordinator does GA and LA.
Izabella, I don't think Jeff was referring to you. Someone said earlier that they had received their score in CA and was joking.
I emailed the MA Board regarding REG - the response I got was "as scores are received, they are released on-line and hard copies mailed." She did not answer my question as to WHEN...At the bottom of her email, she qoutes William Newton Clark, "Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see." I hope she didn't specifically write this knowing that I failed and is pushing me to re-take REG again...
No worries Izabella...I wasn't referring to you at all...that was an honest mistake...i was referring to the prankster who said CA reg was out...sorry if you thought I was talking about you!
Congrats on GA AUD, but what about GA REG?!?!?!?
I rechecked and my score is still posted for GA AUD. But everyone else is making me nervous since I seem to be the only one with an AUD score... I hope it's real!!
Jeff, That customercare person, do they give generic responses?
No audit here either. I've heard some banter about the simulation being very odd, and unlike anything previously tested. Without disclosing, I assume that this is a new simulation and may mean second wave scores. Q: Are 2nd wave scores borderlines AND new sims or just borderlines? Is it possible that ALL NY Audit exams are second wave?
Sarah, IL says about half of the AUD scores are out. You should be fine. Congrats!
Jeff, Do the California and Virginia Boards usually post scores before your source emails you ?
"That customercare person, do they give generic responses?" Unless you get a friendly person on the phone who will give you a "hint" about your score like "well....I would just move on to the next one, mmmkay?" .. you're just going to get a generic response.
"Do the California and Virginia Boards usually post scores before your source emails you ?" no...I was e-mailed for BEC and AUD before CA released scores and posted the info...I have no idea what page they are on in this post...
So I guess I'm really confused. Should I look for my Audit score tonight/tomorrow morning or if it hasn't been released yet via NASBA then I've missed this wave? And hopefully my BEC score will stay as it was... :-/
Jeff, do you have a new REG prediction?
Did anyone else see this post from this morning (5/18) from Alice: "Ok, for everyone who took FAR in CA. I have called the state board, and they said that they have began releasing FAR scores. They are released randomly. So I guess that some people may have received their scores by now. Anyone?" Is this true? Jeff, have you gotten any notification that AICPA has released FAR to the state boards?
I sure hope you get an email this evening. If not, that will be 2 days in a row that AICPA sent nothing.
Sorry, this morning was 5/19
I anticipate AUD being out tonight via NASBA (I thought it would be out last night as well). I haven't heard anything about REG or FAR...I asked my NASBA friend this morning and "nothing yet" was the response...I don't think the FAR report was accurate.
Jeff: please, any enlightment on REG for CA would be greatly appreciated! Any thoughts?
Are there any updates on FAR for California? I was up 'til midnight checking for scores, and finally went to bed. I've checked about 20 times today and see nothing but "Attended 04/13/09." This is crappy.
plus...the IL board is on top of things...if CA had scores...IL would be releasing them too...FAR isn't out...pretty sure of that
FAR-IL, I also noticed that, but I eventually dismissed it as jargon, since nobody on this site or cpanet mentioned receiving FAR.
As soon as I get an e-mail (if I get one..) about REG...I'll share for sure.
So...do you think REG will most likely not happen today then?
Jeff, Would they lie anmd say my grade wasnt released by aicpa?
I think it will happen tonight.
Thanks for the quick update, Jeff. That post from this morning gave me a glimmer of hope since I know that if CA or VA get anything then IL will be right there with them!
How often does IL update their website?
What time do they usually post NASBA scores at night?
Jeff, I read that you believe AUD will be out through NASBA. I have also read on your site that a few candidates have posted that they have already received scores through NASBA states (DE, GA, CT, among others). What is your opinion on what is going on here? Because for each of these states, I have only read of one person receiving grades, with numerous others waiting, including myself. Thanks!
For all us compulsive score checkers, here's an idea. It's for you if you have a Blackberry or something that let's you know instantly if you have an email. Search for internet owl. It's a free program that checks for ay changes in a webpage and emails you when it changes. Install the program, have it check the NASBA site with your birthday etc. in the link. It can check every minute, I think. When your score appears, you'll be notified by email within a minute.
Jeff, I read that you need the wiley 09 for the cram. I have the 08-09 35th edition, volume 2, problems and solutions. Will it work with the audit cram? Thanks,
I'm not sure if this was been mentioned earlier, but AUD was released this morning in Texas.
Jeff, What do you think is going on with the NASBA AUD score release? I did get my score last night and I am in GA. What do you think the problem is? Do you think my score is correct? I'd be devastated if it's not. I got a 74 last window and got an 88 this time!
Any idea when FAR will be released? I passed all 3 (BEC, REG, AUD) took FAR last April 10... One credit is about to expire next May 28. :(... I am really anxious about this and I am hanging by the thread and constantly check my CA Exam Account ALL the time, hoping for a miracle...
FAR- IL, I totally noticed that too and was wondering if it was true. I don't know how much longer I can wait. AICPA, please release FAR scores!
OMG I'm so confused. I called NASBA this morning, and they told me that they have released FAR scores for CA; and then I called CA Board of Accountancy, they said something liked that the 1st wave has already been released, and she asked me to just check once a week. I have not heard anyone who got their FAR score in CA. Then I called NASBA this afternoon again, another rep told me that the score will come out continuously thoughout July, and that I should check it every day. Why everyone is giving me different answers? As far as I know, no one in CA has gotten their FAR score... What is going on??
Anyone wanna just go to a bar? ;lol
Amidst family probs and job loss..the exam wait has made me a complete nervous wreck....Colorado is yet to release and only god can help me.U r doing a great job jeff...Keep it up!!!!!!!
"What is going on??" The Terminator is your Governor.
I dont mean to be disrespectful but I would think NY would be one of the states that have their sh*t together. I can understand Ohio or Colorado having problems but NY should be one the first ppl out like CA.. that may sound rude but think about it..for every 1 person testing in ohio there's like 200 in NY. DAMN!!!!

DAMN!!!!" is it quicker for you to answer 1 question or 200?
Those of you saying that Aud was released in Texas this morning need to be banned from this site. Aud was NOT released in Texas this morning. I have talked to them a couple of times today and they don't even have the AUD scores yet. Jeff, Please Please ban these people from your site!
Any fellow PA test takers in here? I took REG on April 3 and obviously am still awaiting my score like everyone else. I just took Audit on May 11, so I will likely get that score mid June. This anticipation is terrible. I feel like I have clicked that stupid "submit" button on the NASBA website 200 times today, even though I know it won't be changing yet.
I'm with you. I find it very ridiculous that the NY Board is so slow. I expect this here in Louisiana but would expect more from NY
well...there's people who post from the same IP address...i.e. accounting firms...hopefully people will just be nice and pass on credible info...
FML. That's as simple a sentiment as it gets....
Well, not only that, but with the boards and nasba giving out company lines sometimes and sometimes giving more specific info, it is hard to say. It is possible that some Texas people got Audit scores today and that others will get them tomorrow. This whole thing is crazy. I'm in LA. I saw a few LA and GA people get their scores one day last window. Mine came exactly 2 days later and was not near the cut; it was just 2 dayts later...no rhyme or reason.
Has anyone in Florida received AUD scores?
It is now after 5:00 central, and these AICPA slimy worms still have not released a batch for today. They are absolutely horrible and should be whipped with thick, leather belts.
If i am taking FAR on Thurday (May 21),will I have to wait for the next round to receive my score? When should I expect my score?
You will receive your score most likely between June 22 and June 25.
Jeff, what do you think about me having received my score from NASBA for AUD? Is it going to change or is right? I could even email you my code and Birth Date to prove a score is posted for me...
AUD in Texas WAS posted this morning, silly to suggest that people should be banned. I received an email from tsbpa at 7:45am and my score was on the website. Whoever you talked to at the board must be confused because they definitely have some people's scores. It's a big state, maybe they just haven't released them all yet.
I've always wanted to go out with a Texas woman. I love Texas women. Maybe I should find a girlfriend there.
IL received only 51% of the AUD scores. Most likely other states have the same percentages and this is why some people in NASBA states have received scores and some have not (like say 1/2 have and 1/2 have not)! If you see a score you have that score. If you don't see a score you are in the group that has not been released. Try not to make this any harder on yourselves than it has to be!
I got my GA-AUD score last night. It is still there. GA is a NASBA state.
Have not received FAR scores in CA..whats the latest and greatest?
We've been waiting all day for someone from Virginia or Cali to say they got a REG or FIN, but it simply has not happened. The AICPA hasn't released a darn thing today.
Phew!! Another GA AUD score poster!! Now I feel better. I was getting nervous I was the only one and it wasn't real!
Fart Knocker - i wish i could be the CA one who tells everyone that I've got my REG Score. but i'm still waiting. and it's 3:45pm - i don't think i'll see anything for the rest of the day :(
PA - Reg anyone, any predictions for the April/May release dates...please let me know.
Still no audit in mass. Additionally, they took my BEC score down that had been posted on Friday evening. For some reason, I have a feeling it is coming late tonight since they have to get it together if they want to get them all out in a week.
My REG score is also still pending in CA at 4:31 p.m. PST.
Which states have posted audit scores? Any word from Maryland?
4:43....No REG score yet =(
not New Mexico that's for sure
4:54...No REG score in CA yet...
Anyone have a clue about FARE. I want to know if I should start studying or go to shaboom shabooms.
anyone here about FAR in Michigan?
I don't think NY has released AUD at all yet.
I sat for FAR on April 1st in PA... No score on the NASBA site yet.
Im waiting for AUD...still not up. My previous scores are back up though, so something happened. Hopefully I havent been pushed to wave 2.
Jeff, BTW, I read that you need the wiley 09 for the cram. I have the 08-09 35th edition, volume 2, problems and solutions. Will it work with the audit cram? Thanks,
No AUD score released in NY yet...I can't take this waiting anymore! :(
STILL waiting on AUD & FAR in Mass. Your mom still hasn't showed up yet either.
i am new york and my old scores are showing again...no audit yet though
5:52?No REG score in CA yet?
I think my REG peeps are tired of waiting.....have we given up for the day?
Audit is up in NY
Well my BEC score has re-appeared on the MA Nasba site. I'm still waiting for REG though.
anonymous 6:56 are u telling the truth? bec im in ny and i dont see my score!
All of you Californians...do you get your scores randomnly in the day? I know in Texas the board updates them once a day in the early morning, but I didn't know how the NASBA states roll...
anonymous are you lieing about audit in ny..please dont play with my emotions..
BEC score from Friday in MA showed back up. No results from Audit yet however...
ahhh i just check audit in ny is up...im serious!!!!!
I have no clue ANS.....I am hoping it is during the day too....
Still no AUD score for me in NY....
Has anyone heard anything about Louisiana?
This is making me very anxious!
Pennsylvania Audit anyone???
im in ny and still no audit score!
Ha! I guess my work wasn't too happy with me checking this site all day, just got blocked today. So I had to sit there at my desk ALL DAY with no info. Funny that I can check every single sports site available, but I want to check on my career and thats a no-no. What a long day! Seeing everybody still waiting for AUD and REG is so depressing. Will FAR (PA) ever be here?
Another day without my REG score in NY!!!! I took REG on 4/6! What is taking so long?!!! How am I suppose to concentrate on FAR for 5/30 if I dont even know how I did in REG 7 weeks ago!!! Sorry Guys...I just needed to vent =/
My score for previous sections reappeared, but still no AUDIT score. WTF!!!!!
question- i see that pp wrote that on nasba it says "attended xx/xx/2009 and by me it says Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit. am i doing something wrong? here in ny waiting for aud...
@ Anonymous 7:11 p.m. I believe the people who receive the message "attended xx/xx/2009" are looking on the website of thier state board (i.e. for states that report separately from NASBA). "Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit." is what you should see on NASBA if your score hasn't been posted yet. Hope this helps.
Audit is up for part of Indiana...we know some who have it and some who don't
Audit scores are on the NASBA website for Missouri! That's a good way to round out the night.
I don't think its gonna happen for me tonight. That means the database was updated, and my score wasn't a part of that update :((
All, I do not believe NASBA has posted all the AUD scores yet. I am from Indiana and know about 20+ people who took the AUD exam and should be in the first wave. As of this afternoon, not a single individual has received a score. I cannot believe that all of us somehow slipped into the second wave for whatever reason. I will continue to check and hope for the best.
I dont think its happening for me either... Jeff- when scores are posted in NASBA for a specific state, are they all up at the exact same second or do they show up in waves?
Any word on when reg is gonna be released in NY?
if they start releasing AUD, then there's a good chance that REG will releasing tomorrow
just got AUD for MA! Passed that crap with an 83. I took it May 7th, so that really must be close to the cutoff.
So if I'm a non NASBA state, would my AUD score be released tomorrow?
IT'S IN! IT'S IN! Hope all you new yorkers are still on because I just checked and aud is in!!!!!!! 92 baybeeeeee woooooooweeee
AUD up in OH
Anyone get scores from Delaware?
So, if they posted AUD for NASBA states early in the evening and no other states yet received REG does that mean all hopes for REG tonight for NASBA have to die :-(
No AUD for me yet. WTF
RP - this is not correct. REG has not been released to NASBA, so they cannot release it tomorrow.
Ayone got AUD scores in TN?
Any thoughts on CA REG timing?
has anyone received audit in pennsylvania yet?
still waiting for aud in ny 9:47 and still nothing
No audit in NY for me either
I see that some candidates in MA received their audit scores tonight....mine isn't posted yet (I took the exam 4/29)....so I'm guessing I'll have to wait until June? This is incredibly annoying!
Anyone get AUD in south carolina? BTW, congrats to the NY ppl that recently found out they passed :)
I also am from MA and took my audit exam on 4/11 and it is not posted to date. I'm crossing my finger it comes out at some point tonight
New York Audit, 86...and I'm a CPA
Am I the only one waiting on FAR in here ????????anybody plz let me know if any updates.......
Cherly_csr? I am with you. I took REG 4/1, and still waiting for score. I failed in FAR once, 65; and couldn't concertrat, which I know I have to.
Congrats to all those who passed. If I didn't get AUD yet, is it still possible to get it a little later tonight? I took it on 4/1, and not making it into Wave 1 just seems crazy to me.
My PA AUD score is posted on the website. Good luck.
I took FAR on 4/1 in Missouri. I still haven't heard anything. A friend of mine took REG in Missouri on 4/6, she also has not heard anything. This wait totally sucks!!! My new best advice is to sit at the very end of the testing window, by default the wait will be shorter... Congrats to everyone who has heard and passed!
I passed AUD with an 82!!!NM
@Audit 4/27 NY CONGRATZ !!! I am so jealous =p
Audit Posted in Indiana!!!
Still no REG score posted...has anyone in CA received theirs yet? This is the last one for me...I can't stand not knowing! WTF! This is so screwy! FML
i just got TN audit
Still no AUD in NH... sad...
Still waiting for AUD in NJ
I also took it 4/1... and my simulations werent too crazy... how can it be that im not in wave 1?
I took AUD in IN on 4/3 and still no score posted... :-(
I took FAR 4/2 and REG 5/7 and I have BEC on 5/28. Man I hope I passed those first two. I'll be bummed if I have to take BEC knowing I didn't pass one of those! I must have checked for my score about a million times! Great site by the way!
AUD in MA is out...... PASSED!!!! All Done---first try!! Thanks for the site!! goodluck to all
I know for a fact that NASBA released AUD Wave 1 tonight around 10pm EST.
AUD posted in KS
2 business days have come and gone and still no release of FAR or REG ........ this is absolutely ludicrous; there is no excuse for this archaic process !
Got my Aud MA at 930 EST...meaning if yours didnt come out then wave 2? email candidatecare@nasba.org- they will know if they recieved your score
cool... ks. ill check now... where abouts in ks?... i used to work for a cpa firm based out of salina.
So if they released AUD wave 1 and I didn't get a score does that mean I won't get it until wave 2? tell me it isn't so!!
anyone else having a hard time logging on to the IL egateway website? Could it mean that they are uploading scores?
hey ks- when did you take AUD?
Jeff, how could i have gotten my aud score last night then for aud and i'm from GA which is al NASBA state?
Good luck everyone! Just for the record REG: 68, 77 FAR: 75 BEC: 77 AUD: 68, 71, 86 Its a long road but it does end!
Still waiting for my Audit score in ME
Audit is out...but not in Maryland yet. Does MD lag behind the other states in posting scores???
I took FAR on 4/11 in FL and am still waiting. But with the release of AUD hopfully that means my time is coming soon. as for now, i am going to attempt to sleep before another stressful day of waiting!
JEFF- from your past experience, if nasba posted AUD scores tonight at 10 pm and I still did not receive mine, does that mean I am in wave 2? Is there a possibility that I will still receive it tonight? Is there any point in checking? I am going CRAZY here! I took the exam 4/1 at 9 am... this is insane!!!!
"Jeff, how could i have gotten my aud score last night then for aud and i'm from GA which is al NASBA state?" Not sure why...maybe an issue wit the batch? *** "JEFF- from your past experience, if nasba posted AUD scores tonight at 10 pm and I still did not receive mine, does that mean I am in wave 2? Is there a possibility that I will still receive it tonight? Is there any point in checking? I am going CRAZY here! I took the exam 4/1 at 9 am? this is insane!!!!" I am going to say that you're Wave 2 with the caveat that they could still be tweaking the new batch process...doesn't make you feel any better, I know. I won't have any more info until my NASBA person gets back from vacation.
I took AUD on 5/7, still no score yet... does that mean I have to wait until June? Any thoughts??? Is it possible that It's coming out later tonight or tomorrow morning?
I took Financial on April 20 for the state of florida. Has anyone from FL received a score yet? Thanks!
Jeff, Since NASBA released tonight and TExas updates their system at 3:15 in the morning what do you think the chances are of Texas scores being out tomorrow?
I am referring to Aud in Texas
I would say that they are very good chances...they've had AUD since Friday. Would I stay up for it? no. You know you're going to wake up in the middle of the night and check anyway...
Jeff - What do you know about Maryland's timing with score releases?
So will NASBA receive REG marks by tomorrow and be posted by end of this week possibly??
anyone from OK board got their AUD yet? please please reply....this is the only site that gives me hope. Jeff, you are great...may god be with you all the time for doing this for us. best wishes from all of us.
Thanks Jeff!
Hi Jeff, Do you know anything about scores for the state of FL? Took financial on april 20th and still havent received any score. Thanks
Anyone in OHIO got their AUD scores yet? My score isn't posted yet. Took the exam on 5/2.
Jeff, Is it pretty much late enough to say that Monday and Tuesday have gone by and AICPA did not release REG or FIN ? I do remember that your source emailed you fairly late one night, but I don't remember it being this darn late.
Hey AUD-NY2, I guess we had a never before tested sim or something, since we both took the test April 1st, and don't have our scores yet. I can't believe there is a good chance now that we have to wait another month. Unbelievable!
Jeff, Whats the chances of getting REG by the morning?
That ticks me off from afar. What an injustice that would be ! I really hate this AICPA.
Sorry guys...I don't really know that much about individual state BOAs outside of a few really fast ones and one really slow one. If they are NASBA - then they should come out with everyone else...that's how NASBA states work. My NASBA contact e-mailed me around 8pm...the AICPA had e-mailed them that evening.
"Whats the chances of getting REG by the morning?" I don't know what the chances are - but they are decent at least. I could see a scenario where they come out in the middle of the night...CA/IL has them uploaded by noon. It's feasible.
Emailed them what?
I took AUD on 4/7 in NY and I don't have my score either....Jeff, how much longer do you think we'll have to wait?
"Emailed them what?" E-mailed them to let them know the AICPA has released scores to NASBA and the state BOAs who are independent.
Hey Jeff- what is the timeframe for wave 2? thx
If someone doesn't have an AUD score by now and people from their state have their scores...I think they've Wave 2 based on past trends.
No REG in CA yet. 8:00pm
Thank you much. I'm about to drink a half a bottle of red wine, treat myself to some "creme brulee," and watch American Idol via DVR. I'll be back on here tomorrow, watching like a hawk. Thanks again, Jeff. Go to hell AICPA !
re: Wave 2 - I think it will be something like June 17 - 22
Does someone physically have to do something at the state boards, in particular Illinois, to get the scores onto their site? I have noticed scores posted on Sunday night at a rather late hour (i.e. audit this time) and I doubt someone was actually working at that time? Any insight on that Jeff??
Thanks for the response, Jeff - and Wave 2 AUD is expected end of June right?
"Does someone physically have to do something at the state boards, in particular Illinois, to get the scores onto their site? I have noticed scores posted on Sunday night at a rather late hour (i.e. audit this time) and I doubt someone was actually working at that time? Any insight on that Jeff??" yes - I know that the reason why IL was a little slow in getting scores out in Wave 1 was b/c of some IT issues dealing with getting the scores loaded.
AUD around the 20th of June...or there abouts...just a guess
So there are government employees working late on a Sunday night, what is this world coming to ?
Jeff, REG by tomorrow morning, or tomorrow at all?
NY- I seriously cant believe this... Do you feel like you were borderline when you took the exam? I thought I knew the information... I cant wait another month!
Financial in CA...never? :D
Got a 68 in AUD in NY! WTF this was the only test ive taken that i thought that i did well and i didnt fricken pass. REG and BEC i was sure i failed, and i passed with flying colors, and when i think i did well, i fricken didnt pass. AHHHHHH, but anyway, AUD in NY is out.
J, I'm waiting for FAR in IL and was hoping for something today, with no luck. I think FAR will come out before REG, because the exam must have been an established exam (since they are testing new consolidation methods next window, there would be no reason for them to make a new exam for this window).
NY AUD calm down, the same thing happened to me with REG and I ended up getting an 88. It was likely a new Sim that is why you are not getting it yet, it doesn't mean you failed.
Audit 4/27 NY says: May 19, 2009 at 8:30 pm Good luck everyone! Just for the record REG: 68, 77 FAR: 75 BEC: 77 AUD: 68, 71, 86 Its a long road but it does end! Gongrats, I just got a 71, what did you differently to score the 88! Thanks,
That's a good point about the FAR release with respect to its changes...Hopefully tomorrow morning is the big day! Keeping my fingers crossed..but gotta concentrate on Audit - taking Thursday!!
Thanks for the kind words, but i got my score, it is a 68. Im fricken pissed. BTW for the other NY AUD guys, I took the exam on 4/11 Hope you get yours soon too!
Study, study, study. I left every exam thinking I failed, but my lowest score thus far is an 81 in BEC. I am waiting for my FAR score with hope that I will be done.
NY AUD- Sorry to hear about your score. Did you just receive it? AUD NY2- I actually felt pretty good leaving the exam. I thought that the Sims might have tripped me up though, but the MC didn't seem too bad.
NY AUD - I'm pissed FOR you...if it is one thing I've learned about this exam, it's that it doesn't make sense period. On FAR my study buddy was sure she passed...74. I was sure I failed...85. Wtf? I have no idea, but I will cry with you tonight! :(
Good evening all - I'm a first time blogger, and I have to commend Jeff for this fantastic. I think you are doing a great thing here, and you give us all hope and something to do while waiting for our scores. I currently have two scores recorded and available under the NASBA website (AUD from 1Q Wave 2 and BEC from 2Q Wave 1). I'm not sure why the AUD score is still up, but that is neither here nor there with respect to the reason that I am writing. As we know, the NASBA submits grades through a batch process which sometimes takes, for what it seems like, forever. For the majority of the day today both scores disappeared (similar to a few other posters). This has happened to me in previous windows, and every single time my scores reappear...a new test's scores were processed and posted. Tonight was the same case. Right around the time when the AUD scores were posted, my scores reappeared. Therefore, I think that we may correlate a period when scores are taken down and disappear as a time when NASBA is updating their scores or submitting more scores. Just thought that I would pass along some observations, and throw out some ideas to give us a glimmer of hope and insight as to when scores will be (or are being) posted. Thanks again, Jeff and best of luck to you all!
OMG I don't think I can wait another month for my score :(
Guess what ....my home page is www.another71.com now!!!!
NY AUD - I'm sorry to hear that. My friend told me the same thing right after I took my exam. I'm still waiting for my AUD score, and I felt the same way about the test... I'm scared that I might NOT pass.....(Unfortunately I won't find out till mid-June, took it on the cutoff day 5/7!!!)
Hi, is there still a chance for NY AUD to be posted tonight?
Still no Florida AUD scores? Anyone???
Audit in PA has been posted.
I just tried to log onto my Illinois website and got an error message. This is total speculation but maybe they're updating the site? And maybe in a few minutes, I will magically have my fAR score.
Scores are out in Tennessee 93 on Audit! just BEC to go now
CO FAR scores are still not out...can't stay awake any longer...
Anyone received a AUD result from OH?
I took NY-AUD on 5/7. My score is not out.. this means I'm gonnag get the score for wave2?
Anyone from WA still waiting for AUD score?
Anyone from CT got their Aud scores? I am tired of waiting :((((
Took my AUD on 4/1 in Cali and am stilling waiting on my score!
Shuchi I'm waiting on CT AUD and I'm so tired of waiting too. Still no score yet.
i am still waiting for WA audit
For everyone asking about audit in CA, I would guess we will not see them until wave 2 as there have been a few people who have received scores on past pages, as well as, someone spoke with the board and was informed that if they hadn't received their score yet it would be in wave 2. If you don't want to take my word for it,see Jeff's post found within page 14 below: Jeff - another71.com says: May 19, 2009 at 8:59 pm If someone doesn?t have an AUD score by now and people from their state have their scores?I think they?ve Wave 2 based on past trends.
Are you serious?I will have to wait until June to get the result? and have high possibilites getting 73-74? that really SUCKS!! I have not recieved my score for AUD yet, i took it in April 1st. I just wrote a email to CA board of accountancy see if they will get back to me by tommrrow morning... this really drives me nuts
I took aud on 4/18 completely skipped the research section of sims haha... i thought we were suppose to use it to answer the essays... do u guys know how many pts that part is probably worth? btw i havent received my aud scores yet either but imma assume i failed so im hoping i somehow magically get it soon so i can schedule the retest =(
Does anyone have any idea on FARE results for TX??
So FAR for MA?? Do I bother checking every few minutes today? or should I put that off for tomorrow? I know everyone is still waiting on REG too, which one is 'expected' today? I just want my score :(
wow i took aud-ny in early april and still no score i realy better not get a 74
My score for AUD from the prior testing window is showing up again, but the current window score still isn't up yet. Does that mean that I won't be getting my score in Wave 1 and I have to wait for Wave 2?
To the poster asking about AUD in OH ---- It is up
3:28 A.M. PST...still no REG in CA...
the wait is killing..i just hope i dont get pushed to wave 2 !! Thanks Jeff, appreciate all your efforts...cheers
So, has anyone in MA received their AUD score??
i have auditing and BEC notes that i prepared..it is based on 2006 version though i guess there wouldnt have been many changes ...let me know if anyone needs them..cheers
Another day, another anxiety....hope REG come out today.
got to knw from a friend that REG should be out today..not sure tho..
I have my score -- AUD in Massachusetts
When do we expect to see FAR results exam taken in April
"FLHopeful (AUD & REG) says: May 19, 2009 at 9:36 pm Still no Florida AUD scores? Anyone???" I took audit in early April but haven't seen a score. Has anyone else from Florida received theirs? Could it be that Florida hasn't released audit yet?
Man, the one time NASBA released scores before I went to bed, and I got a 70 (AUD). That doesn't help me sleep much better than not knowing. I loath going through this process one more time (hopefully just once). I passed my first three sections first time, but not audit. Oh well...
still no aud score in MA over here. Has anyone heard that it takes longer to grade the exam if its the last one (more scrutiny)?
that's for AUD that is
Hey Jeff or Anyone, Any truth the whole wave 1.5 bit for Audit??
FAR in IL is out. Passed as the last one. I'm so happy. Wish everyone good luck.
WOOO HOO YES IL FAR IS DEFINITELY OUT! PASS!!!! OMG!
Anonymous says: May 20, 2009 at 4:18 am To the poster asking about AUD in OH ?- It is up Can you let me know when you took your AUD? Anybody else got AUD result from Ohio?
FAR is out in IL... and I passed with an 85! That was my last exam and I already knocked out the Ethics exam. Now a little paperwork and one last fee and I can call myself a CPA!!!
Still no FAR in FL. Any chance of it today?
So if FAR is out in IL does that mean states like MA will get it later today? Or do I have to wait utnil tomorrow?
Congrats for those passing FAR!!! what happened to REG? Is it the forgotten child? =(
Is FAR in PA out yet?
FAR out in IL, passed with a 75!!! I was sure I failed, and one more point less and I would have!! I seriously can't believe I passed, that exam was sooooo difficult, I couldn't believe it! I think I got more than half the questions wrong. Definitely didn't finish one of the sims!
anyone receive REG in VA?
Why does REG keep getting pushed back further and further? This is so annoying! I switched my schedule to take reg before FAR because I thought i'd get the score first! Now I take FAR on the 30th! Any hopes for two sections released on the same day or is that wishful thinking?!
FAR is out?!?!? Congrats, but WHAT?!?! What about REG? I am going to have to start scheduling the week of score releases off. I can't take this!!! And I will be at Disney during Wave 2 when I get my other 3 scores! (ok...stop...breathe...coffee...F5..F5..F5..F5.....)
Still no AUD in MA, took 4/10.
Still no REG in FL. Florida is aweful with getting scores!
Haha Angela that's hilarious. I think it should be mandatory vacation during the week of score release! We aren't going to be productive anyways, might as well save us the hassle and give us the week off!
By the way, for those waiting of AUD, I got it in the first wave last time and got a 73. So there is a possibility that you may get it late and still pass. I've read somewhere that a guy got a 98 and got his score in the second wave even though he took it early in the testing window. You never know I guess. I think we never know anything as it relates to the exam!
Has anyone in SC received an AUD score? I thought it would be this morning for sure! Took AUD 4/11.
I can say for certain that if youre in wave two that it doesnt necessarily mean that youre on the cut-off. I waited nearly 12 weeks for my AUD score about 3 windows back and made a 90.
Audit people, is there any truth to wave 1.5??
Looks like another day of not getting any work done. I shouldn't even be getting paid for this week - I have done nothing but check this site for hope that REG has been released.
I took AUD on 4/6 in PA I still don't have my score and my old one is showing up. I'm dying to know the result of the exam!!!! Are the scores up for AUD in PA??
I just called the VA board and they indicated they had not rec'd any REG scores yet. Jeff - any updated predictions on when they might release REG? Difficult to focus especially after receiving 2 consecutive scores of 74 on REG, hoping/praying this time will be different.
I checked my score for reg and see a 69. This is what I got the first time I took the test. A couple days ago, I checked and received the "score not found" message. Does anyone know whether reg in NY has been released by nasba?
No FL Audit yet at Nasba.org.
I'm new to this site...first post...so if i'm repeating questions that have already been asked/answered i apologize..but i'm going insane! Took FAR on 4/6 and Audit 5/5 and don't have EITHER results yet...do you think my audit score will come in with the first wave?? anyone else from NJ/NY receive FAR/Audit scores yet...this has got to be the worse process of receiving scores ever =(
Anyone from IL recieve their Reg scores yet. Anyone in any state recieve their Reg score back yet. Poster boy what is going on with Reg this window?
Any news on REG anywhere?
Hi All, Seems FAR is tricling out - Anyone in MA received his/her FAR score yet?
Jeff, Is there any truth to wave 1.5?
So if we haven't seen our audit scores in MA, should we just assume we're waive 2 now?? This is so stressful, my last exam, I neeeeed to know my score!!!
No REG scores in NY yet... WTF?! I might not make it to the end of the week (I think I need to get more coffee to at least appear like I am doing something at work)
I pass my FAR (take one) with a whopping 89!!! woohooo! a CA registrant.. Hope you guys made it as well.
I took Aud on 4/1 in NY and still have not received my score what does that mean?
I took AUD in NY on 4/20 and haven't received my score either. Could NASBA be releasing scores later today or does this mean I am in wave 2?
Ok. So if FAR is out in CA, then it will be up on NASBA tonight. Is there anychance of REG coming on the same day?
Anyone receive any AUD scores in Texas this morning?
FAR seems to be out in IL. If so would it show up on NASBA tomorrow?
CA scores are up! I received an advisory score of 86! I am so delighted, I literally jumped up and down. I was so worried that one of my credits (AUD) will expire before I received my FAR score. I now have motivations to finish the Ethics exam. This is a long winding and tough road to hurdle. I graduated 20 years ago from another country and getting back to the groove in studying and family life is a tough act to balance. Goodluck everybody!
No FAR or REG in GA.
OH Auditing- I took the exam on 4/3 (I was the one who posted that I received it)
I define persistencey, Does anyone know if there is any truth to the wave 1.5 for AUD???
I have not received my AUD in Texas and I took my test 4/2:(
Maybe NASBA hasn't posted AUD for SC yet?? Is that possible Jeff?
so if far is out in ca and my score is not up, what does that mean? my other 3 scores were published by the time i read that others' scores were up. this is my last one . . . rrgh. lots of praying going on right now. good luck to all.
Is it safe to assume that FAR is coming out before REG this wave? Which would hopefully mean that FAR will post on NASBA by 10pm tonight, then REG would post on NASBA Thursday night?
Can FAR post tonight on NASBA?
Anyone in MD get their audit score yet?
"Does anyone know if there is any truth to the wave 1.5 for AUD???" Don't count on it...there wasn't a Wave 1.5 for REG last window (50% released).
Any word on PA reg?
Has anyone in GA seen FAR? Or are you all still waiting, too?
Took my first section of CPA exam in VA 5/1/09 (FAR). Results should be on VA board website and not NASBA, right? Someone told me in VA releases scores over the phone. Anyone familiar with VA?
Also waiting for MD...
Still waiting on my FAR for GA
Jeff, If FAR is indeed out in a few states...is it a pretty safe bet that FAR scores will be on NASBA tonight or tomorrow?
If someone asks me a question and I don't answer...it's definitely not personal...you may have to ask again - or someone else who knows can answer...I get busy and forget what someone has asked....
I took AUD on 4/13 and FAR on 4/09 in CA, but they are not out yet. What's wrong ??
Also waiting for MD audit, at least the three of us are not alone...
I haven't heard a thing about REG yet...looks like REG gets the shaft again this window. I wouldn't count on FAR being out via NASBA tonight. Is it possible? yes...is it likely? no...you're looking at tomorrow night in all likelihood. I'll be back on in about 4-5 hours. -Jeff
Im in GA waiting on my FAR score (took it on 4/20). This is the email I got from the state coordinator - BEC was released on Monday, AUD was released today, and FAR will be mailed tomorrow, REG should be mailed by Thursday or Friday. All of the first wave scores should be posted on our website (www.nasba.org) by the end of this week.
Far score is released in IL!!
To clarify - I received that e-mail yesterday at 4:55 pm
Everyone! FAR CA came out! CBT Exam Advisory Scores received from NASBA. AUD: Schedule/Attendance Pending. BEC: Schedule/Attendance Pending. FAR Advisory Score: 91 - Attended: 04/08/2009 08:18:00 REG: Schedule/Attendance Pending. I can't believe my eyes, does this mean I passed? Thank you, Jeff, thank you everyone for making my wait bearable~~
anonymous says: May 20, 2009 at 7:25 am Took my first section of CPA exam in VA 5/1/09 (FAR). Results should be on VA board website and not NASBA, right? Someone told me in VA releases scores over the phone. Anyone familiar with VA? Virginia's web site doesn't work. You can call and get your score over the phone, though. When I called yesterday about FAR, they said to try back near the end of the week.
I still haven't received my AUD Score in NY. This waiting process is very frustrating. This was supposed to be my last exam which I received 74 last window. Now I am so scared.
Shouldn't AUD get released before FAR?
Thanks so much for the VA info. Now I can stop wasting my time checking the VA board website; it is misleading because there is a field there available for scores and the the information on their website indicates the scores are posted on line. So thanks!
Congrats Alice, that's excellent
I just called the IL board to see if they'd posted all of their FAR scores or just a small amount that they'd received. The woman told me that they had "not received any of those (FAR scores)." Thus, I have to think that people are making this website a little less credible by lying.
Ok.... so fromwhat I have been reading so far the predictions were based on non nasba releasing first followed by nasba states. Then with the IT thing being implemented, nasba states could look forward to getting scores abt 12 hours earlier (instead of early morning it could be late before midnight). Now, with all the scores being released from anywhere and nowhere the frustation sure is building up. So a non nasba state like MD still waiting for AUD while a nasba state like GA getting AUD score, and FAR coming out before REG in CA and IL (non nasba states) when can NASBA states look forward to REG? I know whatever i wrote is confusing but that describes my state of mind as of now :-(
Does anyone know of anybody that did get AUD in NJ? I am still hoping the scores just weren't posted yet. Am I being silly?
I took AUD on 4/13 and FAR on 4/09 in CA, but they are not out yet. What?s wrong ?? I am not sure why are you not seeing your FAR yet... but i got mine this morning from their website under status... (took the exam in TX but i am a CA registrant). good luck!
Anyone from OK board got their AUDIT SCORE YET...:(
I just received my IL audit score today so this could have been another batch of releases people were wondering about.
And good luck to you all~~
"I just called the IL board to see if they?d posted all of their FAR scores or just a small amount that they?d received. The woman told me that they had ?not received any of those (FAR scores).? Thus, I have to think that people are making this website a little less credible by lying." While you could be correct, I have known MANY MANY MANY state board reps to "not tell the full story". They are told to say things like this.
AUDIT - OK BOARD - ANYBODY - REPLY - PLEASE...
Jeff, I checked my reg score online and see the same score as the first time i took it. Is it possible that reg in ny has been released? Thanks.
just talked to a Kansas NASBA coordinator. She told me they (NASBA)have been receiving batches all week but its completely random, not by state or by exam. I was like what?? That makes absolutely no sense...and contradicts everything everyone already knows. At this point I don't even care...i'm quitting the score check process until mid June. Maybe not, who am I kidding...
Take your state BOA rep's words with a grain of salt...they get tired of people calling.
I just emailed customercare about a second bath of audit scores..i will let you all know
Some VA FAR out! Just called, their website is having problems. I got an 85!
Got FAR today in VA. They said some score released. You have to call.
me(AUD-NY): Please let us know when you hear from them. I took the exam during the first week of April and still waiting for the result.
Jeff- when are your predictions for Wave 2 Audit? This score process is beyond archaic and I think I might officially lose my mind before my final CPA exam score is posted.
If you want to know if your score was received by NASBA, here's the trick. Go to NASBA.org ---> Get to your state CPA Exam page ---> Find the link for exam reexamination ---> Click on it ---> Try to log in with your info: If you can log in, I believe that means the score you're waiting for has been received. I was told by some guy at 800-CPA-EXAM that there's a feature that won't let you log in to reregister as long as you're waiting on a score. They did that because people were reregistering only to find out later that they passed. So if you can log in, you should be part of Wave 1.
I received my IL FAR score this morning on the ilboa.org website. I passed it. A friend of mine who took it the same day did not get his. He called the state board and they said that FAR wasn't released yet. Any idea what's going on?
Got FAR in IL early this morning.
AUDIT - OK BOARD - ANYBODY - PLEASE SHARE...
Thanks, RP. And GOOD LUCK to you with your CPA!
NJ-The NASBA trick doesn't work, sorry. I went through the whole process just now and it gave me the amount to pay for re-exam for all 4 parts. I am expecting reg any day now, should get FAR and BEC in wave 2, and sit for AUD 5/29. It let me go through the process on all. Sorry. Nice thought!
@ Anonymous (NJ) I tried your method and it did allow me to log in.
I haven't received my FAR (IL) score yet either. I imagine it is similar to AUD this wave and they have only released a small percentage. I remember hearing that they were going to start doing batch processing instead of waiting for the entire load to get scored, which probably shortens the wait for some who get it with the early batches. Good luck to all!
Now I'm afraid us REG candidates are going to get screwed and not get results before the Memorial Weekend. I was hoping to celebrate for the weekend.
Who did you call? I was not able to get information over the phone. They said I just need to continue checking the NASBA site?
CA board website scores are gone...looks like tech problems?
Hi Rob in CT, Thanks for the update...I am glad to find someone from CT ;) am still waiting on AUD score.
"Now I?m afraid us REG candidates are going to get screwed and not get results before the Memorial Weekend. I was hoping to celebrate for the weekend." I hear you on that one. If they aren't posted by Friday, should we assume that there won't be any updates over the holiday weekend? I am going out of town and would love to leave my computer at home and avoid refreshing NASBA every 20 minutes.
They should lower fees if the cant get their $-hit together any better than this!!!
Anyone from Texas get their Aud scores yet?
Does anyone know how NASBA releases scores? Is it once a day or slowley throughout the day? I am from CT waiting on REG and I'm going insane!
PA, I actually received my REG score on Memorial Day last year through NASBA so it does happen. It was not there on Saturday or Sunday but when I checked it early am Monday Memorial Day it was there. If you are in a NASBA state I suggest you check it on Monday.
Thanks for the info kccpa
av - you are the first person I've seen posting from OK, so you may be the only one on the site - which would explain why no one is answering you.
Stephanie, TX received their AUD scores yesterday morning.
Waiting on FAR in PA! Someone a few pages back said a way to not be nervous about receiving your score is to think you failed. It does make sense, but why is it that while I'm positive I failed, I am a wreck?!?!?! By the way, a coworker took AUD April 21 & has not yet received her score. From what she told me, she got that weird simulation that others are talking about, the one they felt belonged on a FAR exam. I wonder if everybody who got that sim will be waiting for wave 2. Congratulations to everybody who passed, and good luck to those waiting :)
Waiting on FAR in CA...still no word for me...
Thanks cpa_hopeful. looks like i am the only one from OK. after i am done i will turn off the lights before i leave...how's that
Looks like I'm in wave 2. Bummer!
There's lights in OK? That place is the biggest dump of a state Ive ever been in.
I sat for AUD in NY on 4/7 and I had that weird sim as well.
Where is REG?? I don't think I can take it if I have to wait until June. Did anyone else get a REG Simulation about PArtnerships. I am worried its a new one and I will have to wait until June.
fla aud still waiting for scores. hopefully not wave 2. has anyone from fla recieved ANY scores?
Texas might have received some AUD scores yesterday, but they did not receive all of them. I took AUD April 7 and have not received my score. I called the board and was told the scores are being received in batches and being released in batches. The guy was one of the friendlier people I have talked to at the board, and he seemed like he wanted to help as much as possible. He said there was no reason certain scores were released and some weren't. They are just releasing them as they get them. At least that was my understanding. He said all AUD scores would hopefully be released by the end of the week.
Below the IL state board is saying that the first wave is ut to May 8th and they expect 100% of BEC grades. I took my test on may 8th and my score is not up. The Illinois Board of Examiners has received its second group of electronic scores from the April-May testing window. They are noted below. Watch this space for regular updates. This score release cycle covers testing events from April 1 through May 8, 2009. If you tested after May 8, you will NOT receive your scores until mid to late June. And remember: Not all scores for all candidates with exams in the early date range will receive scores in May. Some candidates will have to wait until June. We expect that 100% of BEC scores and approximately 75%-85% of the other three exam sections administered April 1 ? May 8 will be included in the early score release; some sections may be released in multiple batches. The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) controls what scores are released, in what order and what percentage. Electronic scores received at the Board of Examiners Released on line BEC -- 100% of total testing Thursday, May 14, 2009 AUD ? 51% of total testing Sunday, May 17, 2009 These advisory scores are now available for lookup
For many of us in NY awaiting AUD it looks like we might have gotten a never before tested Sim. I've been following this site for the past couple of days and a couple of people received their scores, but for the most part AUD in NY is either heavily delayed for some reason, or there is a substantially greater percentage of scores that will be wave 2 (if we got a new sim). The worst part about this is that the earlier test takers are for the most part the ones that haven't gotten their score. I sat for the test on 4/1. I'm hoping they will run a new batch in the next couple of days, because waiting another month is rough.
What is everyone planning to do to celebrate when they finally pass this beast??
what was the weird sim like?
Thanks for the update Anon in Texas. Thats what the state told me to but I wasn't going to argue!
Did anybody receive AUD in NY? It is horrible to sit and wait...
Amy in Philadelphia: I got that weird simulation too! I walked out and said "I think they screwed up, one of my tabs should have been on FAR!" I'm waiting on my score in SC, which is a NASBA state (took it 4/24), and haven't received anything yet either. I guess it's safe to say that it was a new simulation (or a test simulation?) since it was so misplaced. Uuuugh I guess we're waiting until mid-June then. Thanks for the info though! I hadn't heard about anyone else that got that tab.
Sorry, talking about AUDIT (SC)
"simmer says: May 20, 2009 at 8:31 am what was the weird sim like?" I wish I could help you out, but unfortunately we would be in ethical violation if we discussed specifics. All I know from what I was told is that it was a topic she never heard of before & it seemed more like a FAR rather than an AUD topic.
That's so ridiculous that the Board would actually lie about receiving scores. The other states are honest... who's running this, Blagojevich? I guess I'll just keep checking every once in a while?
FAR is out in Illinois!!!! I got a 76...cut it a little close, but now i'm 1 done, 3 to go!
I sent an email to a person in NASBA and received the following reply. I took AUD in NY and still can't see the score on website!!! We have received your AUD score from the AICPA and your score notice is on the way to you by mail. It should arrive to you very shortly. Also, you should be able to view your score on-line. Please contact me if you do not receive the score notice within 10 business days from today. What's happening here?
Amy in Philadelphia, I am also in Philly waiting for a FAR score. Good luck. If you should get yours please post here. i don't want to be checking all weekend if I have been bumped to wave 2.
wow, anonymous, thats good news for the rest of us bc its a second batch..you shud be up tonight, latest tmrow AM..good luck!!
IL - FAR, nope! Even worse, Barack!
"Anonymous says: May 20, 2009 at 8:34 am I got that weird simulation too! I walked out and said ?I think they screwed up, one of my tabs should have been on FAR!? I?m waiting on my score in SC, which is a NASBA state (took it 4/24), and haven?t received anything yet either. I guess it?s safe to say that it was a new simulation (or a test simulation?) since it was so misplaced. Uuuugh I guess we?re waiting until mid-June then. Thanks for the info though! I hadn?t heard about anyone else that got that tab." I feel for you, the waiting is torture! I know I will cry if I am in the 2nd wave...FAR is my last exam & if I did fail I'd like to get a new NTS ASAP & schedule for July so my entire summer isn't shot to hell!
Illinois Board of Examiners is actually the best state board out there...someone may have told you wrong info on the phone - but they are the most candidate-friendly state board.
For all ye NASBA impatient nerds, you can save a link that takes you direct to your score from your bookmarks/favorites. talk about instant gratification or lack thereof just update the link as follows: XXXXXXX - your Section ID MM/DD/YYYY - your birth date SS - your state https://www.nasba.org/nasbaweb/NASBAWeb.nsf/wpes?openform§ionid=XXXXXXX&dob=MM/DD/YYYY&stateAbbrev=SS good luck!
DMC, I certainly will post if I get anything. Good luck!!!
hey anonymous for ny, who did you email
Hey Ali, I am also waiting for my REG score from CT.
Anonymous says: May 20, 2009 at 8:36 am I sent an email to a person in NASBA and received the following reply. I took AUD in NY and still can?t see the score on website!!! Whom did u email? Can u post the email id? I emailed candidatecare yesterday and havent got any reply. I am from CT and waiting for AUD and REG scores.
Anonymous NY is either having a computer problem or giving us hope that another wave of audit scores came in
I just talked to someone in IL and they said that they usually update everything as soon as they get information and was surprised to see that anyone had received FAR. But then I got the impression by some other things said that the website had not been updated and we should see more in a couple of hours. I have no clue what all of that means, just FYI. I am in GA and waiting for REG so I won't see mine anyway for a while.
"Where is REG?? I don?t think I can take it if I have to wait until June. Did anyone else get a REG Simulation about PArtnerships. I am worried its a new one and I will have to wait until June." -Hey Joe, i had the same REG Simulation, so i guess it was a new simulation. Does anyone know if they usually wait for the second wave if it's a new simulation?
AICPA released FAR scores today...which people have already figured out. ***approx. 850 more AUD scores were also released...***
Jeff, any word on REG?
Jeff have you heard anything from Florida? I am waiting on FAR that I took on 4/11?
Has anyone in Illinois received their wave 1 REG scores yet? I took the test on April 3 and I'm still waiting.
i just got an email they have my audit grade in ny and i can see it later!!!!
C'mon NASBA....Post my FAR score!
So if AICPA released them today Jeff, then will they be posted on NASBA tomorrow or tonight?
Hi me(AUD-NY), I'm sorry for late response since I understand how much you were frustrated to wait for the score. The person I contacted was a State Coordinator (New York, A -L) which means if you are in other state board, it's not gonna help that much. I don't want to post up his email address so that he might get possibly crazy amounts of emails. Do you mind to give me your email address? I will forward the email right away.
wow thats good news. Good luck with the scores.
oops never mind me(AUD-NY)- Anyway GL!
Hahah I have the bets name ever on here..good luck to you all for all test results
AUD NY, did you e-mail anyone to ask about if they had received your grade? Jeff, you mentioned that 850 additional audit scores were released today. Will these scores come out tonight?
me(AUD-NY) - did you email someone first asking about your grade? If so, who? Thanks!
NASBA---POST FAR POST FAR POST FAR POST FAR POST FAR
I bet NASBA releases tomorrow evening
candidatecare@nasba.org well now I have to sit and wonder all day bc i got a grade 1 day later once already and received a 75..anyone else have the same?
man this is so frustrating. I took REG on 4/5 in MA and obviously still waiting. Took AUD on 1/3 and it was quite a long wait as well (I think 2/27 is when I saw my score on nasba). I have BEC on 5/29 and really want/need to know my REG score beforehand.
Jeff, Reason to think all 850 are borderline> I find it hard to believe they used 1 extra day to evaluate a new sim
I got a score a day later and received 77.
no...I bet they just had some more to release...
ok someone please post 'yes and i got a 90'
and thanks jeff!
Waiting for REG is a tough one when we though it may come up 2 days ago....I really hope they do it today....my work would actually get a bank for their buck if I can start concentrating sooner than later! =p Thanks for letting us vent here Jeff! I know my co-workers had enough already! =D
So, NASBA releases FAR tomorrow evening !! another 1 day wait :( Good luck to all waiting for results. Hope we make in Wave 1 release
Did anyone else receive their FAR score in California?
Received my CA FAR Advisory Score this morning at 5:30am. Got an 88! took on 4/1, and it was my 1st time taking the exam...what a wait, but so excited as i've had trouble concentrating on BEC on 5/28. For those preparing for FAR,,,stay focused and put in the time, 1st time around. BTW, I used Becker materials only
I didn't get FAR and AUD score in CA yet.
Took AUD 4/11 in CA, still no score... But my friend who also took AUD in CA on 4/27 (and at the SAME testing center too) already got her score!! She had hers on Saturday. What in the world??? Jeff, do you think I somehow got pushed back to Wave 2?
The AICPA released more AUD this morning...you *may* get your score via CA soon...
From contact at IL Board of examiners... "We got notice late yesterday afternoon of more scores for AUD being released and some of the FAR scores, no word on REG to date. I have not had time to update the website with the percentages yet but will be doing so this afternoon."
I took AUD in CA on 4/11 and still have not received my score. But my friend who took AUD in CA on 4/27 (at the SAME testing center as I did, even) already got her score which she saw on Saturday!! Jeff, do you think I somehow got pushed to Wave 2?
Oops... sorry I submitted that comment twice. Thanks for the tip, Jeff1
Just emailed my contact at VA BOA and got my FAR score - 88!!! WHEW! When I called this morning, they said FAR was not released, so maybe for those waiting in VA, email is the solution. Don't know but I am one happy and relieved girl! AUD next week and I am done....good luck everyone!
Jeff, I am seeing numerous posts about candidates receiving their FAR score last night or this morning. In your opinion, does this mean the AICPA has released FAR before REG, as they did last window? I am waiting on REG in PA and have a bad feeling that I may have to wait until next week as the AICPA has to release to NASBA, then NASBA to the state board, and so on. I hope this is not the case. Thanks buddy
Still no Audit in MD... Jeff, I would file this in your knowledge bank that MD is slow in sending out exam scores compared to other states. I even went back to previous exam windows to compare when you said scores were released to when I actually received mine. It was 2-3 days later. Ridiculous!!
Buckshot - FAR and AUD (a second batch) were released within the past 24 hours by the AICPA. REG gets the shaft again. Craig - is MD independent? I assumed they were NASBA.
CA FAR score is released this morning. I passed with 79 on 3rd try...
Jeff, do you think us NASBA people will get our REG scores by Friday night or get screwed into or after the weekend ? I know it is a crapshoot, but what do you think ? I had very similar simulations this sitting for REG as I had last window (nothing new), so I can't figure out why they are punishing us REG candidates.
Ok thanks Jeff, thats what i thought. Do you or anyone else think that I will have to wait until the holiday weekend is over to receive my REG score in PA online? I'm hoping that somethng comes out Friday day/night so I can at least relax over the weekend.
This might be a dumb question, but I don't think I've seen it asked on here before....do advisory scores ever change?
no. advisory score doesn't change...it gives u the number so that u can reschedule ur exam if you don't pass. the advisory score doesn't give you the details of your performance (how well u did in the section comparing to other candidates)
Yes MD scores are reported through their own State Run website. Last testing window I got my FAR scores the same time as everyone else (2 days earlier than predicted). I got an email indicating my FAR score was ready at the same time they posted it.
Any FAR scores for TN?
I am in CA and got my FARE advisory score this morning. After 3 months of studying and almost 2 months of dread waiting, I got a 79!!! I did it, and so can you! I blew both sims really except for writing and guessing. Today is a good day!
Can anyone tell me how to find my CA FAR score (took it 4/20)? Do we need to log on to nasba.org? I never created a username and password at that site. Should I be able to find my score information at the state of CA website?
Thanks michelle (CA-REG)! It had that disclaimer about how scores aren't official until approved by the Board, so I was worried that my 75 (just barely passing!) could get moved to a 74. I feel better now!
I see someone else has already answered, but they do report through their own website and not through NASBA.
Took FAR on April 10. Just got my score ..pass it with 87, in CA and..I'm done!!
CA - still no audit score...sat for the test on 4/6. if people are getting their scores already for this test, it gives me the impression that i must not have done well...
I dont see my score for AUD, 4/19, TX Anyone with similar situation??
@ Mindy: 75!! congratz! you passed it! :D u did well! i don't think they will change it (altho i once hoped it will change from 74 --> 75). but i think the score is not "final" because you haven't received the credit on the top of the Status page. even though u've passed (per the advisory score), the system doesn't show you have received the credit yet. again, congratz to all who passed in this window! :) n' good luck to all who are still waiting for the score. still nothing for REG in CA. argh!
Hey did anyone get there REG scores in CA?
I took AUD CA 4/4/09, no score yet. I just called CA board. The person is very nice and patient and told me that score released daily directly to our account, candidates see the advisory score before the board can see the final score. She told me that the only thing I can do is to check my account once a day.
michelle (CA-REG: Hi,I just wanna know where are you checking out for REG. On cba.ca.gov website right??? Plz let me know if its different.
Took FAR 4/24..in CA..still not seeing anything :(
I'm in CT and I haven't seen my FAR score - any other CT'ers received their FAR score yet?
I am also waiting for MD AUD. I'm pretty sure this is unusual. I got my scores earlier than wave 1 NASBA release for my FAR and BEC last testing window. Very frustrating. The only thing I can think is that they don't want to release as they trickle in and instead release one big wave 1 release. And that trickle is evident from Jeff's comment on the 850 new AUD scores released today. Jeff have you seen this wave 1 score release after the first wave 1 release in previous windows?
KY FAR scores are out.
jeff, im in CA, if aicpa released more aud scores and i haven't received it yet. i should give up hope for the month and wait till wave 2?
nai - we are on the same page. i don't think there's another site for californians to check the score...........(do we?)
no REG score yet. :(
timstocked: Congrats! I have the same situation with u. took FAR in CA on april 8th, and the advisory score says 91. First time around... Now I have a lot confidence to prepare for BEC that I'm going to take on Aug 1. And good luck to your other sections!
Lisa, Who should we e-mail at VA BOA to get our exam score? Thanks
I have just decided not to worry about my REG score anymore and focus on my BEC exam that I have on 5/31. I figure if I wait for the 2nd wave and get both of the scores together, I will get a little excited if I only pass one (drink a beer); get super excited if I pass both of them (have a sexy party); and get crush if I fail both of them(scream like hell). Anybody think that?s a good idea? I hope that I can wait for the 2nd wave scores.
Thanks michelle (CA-REG)
I just contacted NASBA via email, and they confirmed receipt of my score and assured me it would be posted by Friday morning, which is a relief because I was not sure what testing window I was in. I suggest other unsure NY testers do the same.
are any NASBA FARE states out?
so NY FARE is friday morning?
I took my FAR on 4/26 and just got an email from NH state board of my score - PASS. woohoo!!! I'm taking AUD next week - good luck everyone!
If you're gnawing your fingernails over score release timing: This morning's mail brought my NASBA offical letter with my BEC score results. BEC scores were received by NASBA on Thursday May 14th, and the letter was postmarked Monday May 18th. So that's two business days for NASBA to mail the letter, and another 2 business days enroute from Nashville to Louisiana. With NASBA's IT trouble, snail-mail is almost faster this time around.
I am a little confused. Some people are saying they have received their FARE scores in IL and CA, and yet the results are not released by AICPA & NASBA? How is that? Jeff, do you know if IL has released FARE yet? Thanks for your help.
Stacy - I took FAR in CT on April 2nd and I have not seen my score yet either!! Good luck!
Is KY a NASBA score release state? Someone just posted that they received FAR score in Ky so just curious. No FAR for me in TN
No Aud in TX for me either. I took it 4/25
for the people who took aud in ny and didnt receive their scores but received emails that their scores are on the way, can someone please provide me with an email address that i can contact to ask where my score is?
Hey everyone, some good news for those who expected their audit scores to be released in wave one but were not. I emailed candidatecare@nasba.org and asked them if my score was received or not. They responded (promptly actually) that my score had been received yesterday and should be posted some time tonight or tomorrow. I know a lot of you are in the same boat as me, with this being your last one, and extremely nervous because you might potentially be done. Good Luck to everyone.
NY FAR says: May 20, 2009 at 10:32 am I just contacted NASBA via email, and they confirmed receipt of my score and assured me it would be posted by Friday morning, which is a relief because I was not sure what testing window I was in. Thanks NY FAR. Good to know that we should for sure hear before the weekend!
Dave, Which state are u from?
anybody received their audit score for OK board yet? Please reply
NY FAR who did you speak to ?
Anybody know who to contact at the CA board for info on the scores. Took test 4/24...no word for FAR in CA yet
Hey Dave- Did you have to give them your section ID # in the Email? Thanks.
CALIFORNIA FARE Took FARE on 4/20. Got the advisory score today - 77! Steve, you should be able to see the score here: https://www.cba.ca.gov/cbt_private/login_form Good luck!
Sweet! CA FAR-passed! Now just waiting for REG.....man I hope I passed
Advisory Score = Final Score 99.99% of the time. I have never heard of it being changed on anyone and I have spoken with lots of people on the matter.
.... but never say never
I am from MA, I provided them my section ID, the date of the exam, and my name.
I'm from MA. I provided them my section id, the exam I was waiting for, and the date I took the exam.
So I have never posted on this site and typically just sit back and read everyone else's posts and find much comfort in knowing that I am not the only psychotic page refresher :) I also think that I may be one of the only few from MI. So from what I understand, we can expect MI REG scores this evening? (Not that this will change my incessant refreshing). I also felt that I received a ridunkulous simulation in which I was completely NOT prepared for. So is it also safe to expect that if I do not receive my score this evening it is because of the off the wall simulation? Do they throw these out if everyone does poorly? How does this work?
Did someone in NJ received their AUD or REG score?
Steve, Jeff posted (on page 16) that the AICPA released FAR scores this morning.
Took FAR in CA on 4/2, it seems that everyone else has received their scores...does that mean that I didn't pass?
I think I speak for a lot of people on this site when I say, people that constantly refresh for their score, but end up getting above an 85 (especially if you get above a 90), I really don't think that you need to be as stressed out as the majority of us here. If you end up getting above a 90, you had to have felt pretty confident.... With that being said, Congratulations, and speaking on behalf of the majority of people here, we are jealous of you. :)
I took my FAR in CA 4/24 and haven't received anything either...hopefully that isn't the case!
Anyone in Louisiana received FAR score?
Jason.. REG score... I emailed NASBA and they said that they did not receive the REG scores yet. Don't know about AUD
Ana, Where did you hear that we would getting MI - REG scores this evening? I have been checking the NASBA site all day.
I beg to differ CA AUD...I thought I nailed BEC and got a 75, like I was thinking 90 at worst
Yea...that is what I am afraid of. I'm thinking I nailed FAR (2nd time taking it) and watch me fail. If so that'd be it for me. I've put ALOT of time into studying for FAR and went through just about every tid bit of the FAR Becker materials and all questions and simulations. (and did well)
Lisa, This was based upon Jeff's comments under "NASBA Updates CPA Exam Score Release Process" https://www.another71.com/2009/05/nasba-updates-cpa-exam-score-release-process.html I am still hopeful that it will be earlier ;)
Dave, when you say they responded promptly how do u define promptly? I emailed them last night and didnt get a response and i re emailed them this morning about an hour ago... Im in NY, took aud 4/1 and desperately awaiting my score!
me(AUD-NY)... actually the same thing happened to me on BEC as well, so I guess I am just jealous. haha. Good luck to everyone... I hope we all receive 85 and up!!!
Does anyone know how long does it take to receive the letter from the state giving permission to apply for your license?
For those who were told their score was received but not online yet or in the mail, how come they can confirm they received your score but not tell what your score was?
AJ you might be in for the long haul..4-8 weeks but too many if's involved Waiting in NY- b/c than everyone would do it..remember, there are hundreds of people besides everyone here waiting for scores too CA AUD- 90s and above! Jeff- Hi
Okay . . . WTF . . . just have to vent. I've always been able to get my scores (last 3 exams) the day they went up for other candidates . . . now, on my last exam . . . I'm still waiting for CA FAR . . . I'm not going to be able to get anything else done until I know. DO YOU THINK THEY WILL RELEASE MORE FAR LATER TODAY OR LATER THIS WEEK? Or . . . do we have to wait another MONTH??
No Reg in NJ... bottom line this sucks.....
I sent my email to
Congratulations to all who have received their scores & passed! To the failers: Keep Going! I'm waiting on FAR here in WA. I checked early this morning but nothing yet (Castle Worldwide service). Sure as HECK not going to check my score while at work...NO WAY! This is way, way too emotional for me. I am hoping this is my last one & if I failed I swear I will start to freakin' weep like a baby in my cubicle. I'm going nuts...especially hearing that FAR is out there. But I'm waiting until I'm in the comfort of my home before I do anything rash. Good Luck To Everyone!! My Best Wishes to you ALL!!
Jeff, I am going insane (in case you couldn't tell)... I emailed MD, asking when I could expect to see my audit score when I sat for it on April 1st. The response I received? "13 weeks" Please tell me this is a generic response, I will be bald at age 23 if I have to wait until the very end of June...
Joey Altruda - i'm impressed by your determination and self discipline. i wish i have that determination so that i don't have to constantly checking the score every 3 minutes. i just want to see my score and get it over with. the score better comes out asap - if not, this will be the least productive week i've ever had at work....
Hey everyone. I emailed Board of Cali, and here's the response I got: In response to your email, for candidates who sat in April: Approximately 90% of the scores should be released by the end of this month. The remaining 10% should be released during the second half of June. Scores are released individually, and in completely random order. We are not able to accurately predict when a specific score will be released. However, once we do receive a score, it will be available to you within minutes of our receipt. This includes weekends and holidays. Hopefully I'm not in the 10%!!!!
audit released?
i just got my AUD score. it's my 3rd time taking it. I really don't understand what to do anymore. It was supposed to be my last one. AUD Score: 66 - Attended: 02/08/2008 11:07:00 AUD Score: 65 - Attended: 05/27/2008 11:05:00 AUD Advisory Score: 73 - Attended: 04/07/2009 11:26:00 I am bummed ..
should i call nasba?
i'm in CA for those wondering.
just keep trying
I'm in CA and still don't have my audit score :( Took it 4/17
LMB. take the holiday weekend to recharge your batteries and hit it again next Tuesday...you are not alone. be bummed for 1 day, and that's it. you've come too far, this is just a hurdle that you're going to have to accept and move on. Maybe try different study materials?
Joey Altruda - I am the same way with REG - hopefully my last one. I am afraid if I fail and find out at work, they will have me committed because of the tantrum I will pull. Good luck! However, I can't stop checking this site in hopes that REG has been released...
I'm sorry to hear it, Imb; I really am. Audit gave me hell too. It always seemed so easy as I actually sat for it, but I made 74, then another 74, then a 73, and finally a 76. You will get it !
I'm in CA. Still anxiously waiting for my FAR score to post. Took it beginning of April. The anticipation is killing me!
Fart Knockers finish last. I have the same battle now for REG. I made 74, then another 74, then yet another 74. Now I am waiting for REG to be released in hopes that I'll get a 75.
The key is to keep battling this thing, have lots of alcohol on hand, and treat yourself to Creme Brulee' as often as possible.
LMB, I know you are bummed. I have been in the same boat with FAR (this is my 6th time taking it, and I had to retake BEC because my score expired). Just keep your head up and remember how hard you worked to get to this point in your life. Most people wouldn't even try this exam in the first place. Don't let the "powers that be" get you down and make you feel like you shouldn't be here. Try a different study method (i.e. live classes as opposed to self study or Yeager instead of Becker). Stick to your study schedule and try again. All you can do is your personal best (sorry, don't mean to sound like your mother...).
LMB: keep trying! don't give up!....we are all on the same boat! have you tried the cram materials after you do the full version? I did the full book materials and the cram materials 2 days before my exams! it really made a difference on reviewing before the exam! plus the simulations are different than on the regular book. I used Becker but I am Yaeger is similar. Good Luck and keep going!
I am going insane
IL released FAR last night/this morning!
I emailed NASBA again if they are able to tell me the AUD score since they said they received mine from AICPA. According to him, my score was already loaded into their system. So I should be able to view it online in a couple of days. Since it was already loaded into system, can I expect to see it either tonight or tomorrow morning? Also I'm so worried about it because I felt like he didn't want to tell me. I wish they are not allowed to tell any scores to candidates. I don't want to receive another 74!!
CA AUD, I think that's really unfair. I've done well on the 3 sections I have scores for, but that doesn't mean I was less stressed about getting the results than you. As a matter of fact, when I finished REG (87), I was so discouraged about how I did that I was distracted and backed into a tree as I was leaving the test center. Also, I think it's unfair when posters attack people who post their high-ish scores. If I scored a 90 on a section of the CPA exam, I have a right to be proud of that. Friends and family who haven't taken the exam can understand what an accomplishment that is, and I know I'll get blasted if I post it here, so I end up with no one to share my achievement with.
Any SC audit?
Has anyone in GA received any scores yet?
any luck with audit in NY?
No luck for me for AUD in NY.....
cpa_hopeful: you should def be proud of your scores. It's a grueling and hard process and takes lots of time and dedication.
Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to keep myself occupied today and get to studying after this week. I've passed all the other sections with not much trouble. It's only AUD that I'm having trouble with. FAR Score: 74 - Attended: 11/27/2007 11:37:00 FAR Score: 80 - Attended: 02/29/2008 12:21:00 BEC Score: 77 - Attended: 05/16/2008 12:27:00 REG Score: 84 - Attended: 02/25/2009 12:54:00 FARE will expire on 2009/08/29, so I have one more attempt before this turns into a big nightmare.
What percent of FAR was released in IL?? ILBOA still hasn't updated the pdf.
Please share with us
For those of you in California, I just called the board to ask if scores would be released. They said that they're still releasing scores as they receive them all day today and tomorrow. I think they need to fix their system. Seems so horribly inefficient somehow considering it's multiple choice.
Please share with us in Ny
No aud in NY for me either. I emailed customer care about it and never heard back.
an update from CPA forum... NH state has started sending emails to the their candidates for FAR score... Those in NH can refresh your mail box :) Good Luck !
anybody called from NY, where is to call?
Where is REG and is it possible it will come out tonight?
no audit in NY for me either.. I emailed candidate care and never heard back.
it is so unfair to wait for so long
audit in NY - I also emailed customer care yesterday and I got a return receipt that my email was opened but no response yet.
Not yet in NY.
aud in ny will be late tonight/eatly tmrow
I can not wait anymore
Hoping for FAR in CA sometime today! taking audit tomorrow at noon so kinda debating whether to check tonight / tomorrow for FAR!! AHHHH good luck to all!
How do you know about audit-NY tonaight/tomorrow?
Good luck people, we all deserve
customercare@nasba.org replied back to me saying it
Far was released in IL i check my Score today morning.....
Jeff- when you say that 850 scores have been released for AUD, are those all for CA? Do you think some are for those of us in NY?
LMB, im sorry to hear about your score. it took me 4 times to pass AUD (and i was an auditor - opps!). i told my senior (when i had my first attempt) that if i failed, maybe i wasn't meant to be an auditor and i should quit my job. my scores were 64-74-68-81. the 74 caused me to lose my BEC credit. 68 caused me to lose my REG credit. i was laid off after the third failure. and passed it when i was unemployed. now i just hope i passed REG as well. keep moving forward. once u passed all four parts - no one is going to ask you the number of attempts to pass the exam. it's not shown on the license. good luck with your fourth attempt! give yourself a good break and then dive back to the study mode for the next window.
haha, i wonder how many people took that email address you posted and immediately emailed nasba (like me)
The 850 was just to NASBA
cpa_hopeful, I won't blast you if you get a high score. I'll be supremely jealous, but I won't blast you :)
Divya, Any news for REG in NH?
anybodies knows it is better to take exam at the end/beginning of the window?
ENDDD!! less of a wait :) ....well i mean..theoretically less..
customercare@nasba.org ?
A friend told me that they got their NY AUD score ...and, from what i can tell, i don't think they are lying so hang in there NY individuals waiting for AUD!
correct, melissa
:) Thanks, Amy. Although, don't be jealous - nobody cares what your scores were once you're done. Unless you have Elijah Watts Sells number, which I definitely don't. Just think about how much time I wasted over-studying. :)
just email to NASBA about audit in NY
Melissa, I've tested at very beginning of window (1/12 & 4/3), middle of window (4/30), and very end of window (2/27). The wait seems ridiculous either way. The only drawback of testing at the end of the window is that the testing center is MUCH more crowded.
I am in NY but have not receeived audit yet, check every seconds
it will NOT load now..check like 8 tonight
endless
Try to email customercare and it says that such email address "no such user".
5 hours before 8 going crazy
My boss firmly believes that if you score over 75 you studied too hard! Congrats to all of those that passed and double congrats to all high scorers! Keep those of us that have failed or are waiting for scores in your prayers!
guys, unless youre one of the independent states (CA, IL, KY i think) no grade will load before 8/9 tonight at the earliest..youre refreshing for no reason
what are talking about user/email?
what are talking about user/email?
Has anyone received REG scores yet?
Received my score by email at 1pm today. 75. Couldn't be more excited!!!
jason, what did u mean?
jason, what did u mean?
I think the server went down momentarily
Mississippi candidates- I took BEC on April 27th. Just called the State Board, and they said they have receieved no scores from NASBA yet. She said they expected them by now. However, when they receive them they will mail them out that day. Waiting sucks! Mississippi last as usual!
Yea...server has been down! Don't do that again Jeff!
I have what may be a very stupid question. But people keep saying that they are in a NASBA state; how do you know, and what is the difference? What is Florida?
jason, what did u mean?
Just got an email response from Texas "Grades will be coming out gradually over the next few weeks."
Does Jeff ever get tired of us?
What % of FAR was posted in IL on the board's website?? Will there be more scores released in wave one?
is audit expected be by 8pm in NY tonight?
That was an auto response. The original message was received at Wed, 20 May 2009 15:03:36 -0400 (EDT) from ltm-3-4-floating.mwga.mailwatch.com [216.157.255.9] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- (reason: 550 customercare@nasba.org... No such user)
NASBA state means you get your score from them. Non-NASBA means you get your score directly from that state's board, i.e., Virginia, California, Illinois, maybe others
me too; customercare@nasba.org no such user
any luck?
Thanks. Ok then FL is a NASBA site. Still waiting on FAR in FL. :(
so no NY FAR?
For those of you in CA - FAR taken on 4/6 AUD taken on 4/29 I got scores released this morning for these two items.
Has any REG been released? Is there any update on when it's expected to be released to the states/NASBA?
Still no, score in MD for REG and Audit Sucks!
Marie No problem, I got my score early this a.m. in Virginia (85! phew) Non-NASBA states release first for some reason then NASBA states. Just moved here from the sunshine state (Bradenton).
cpa_hopeful what I was saying was exactly what Amy in Philly said... we are jealous... I will still congratulate you and be proud for you; you should definitely be proud of your score and post it... and i will in turn be jealous of you... it's good to have people jealous of you... and I agree that this is way harder process than most outsiders think. So I agree this is a good place to share your achievement.
Finally, CA AUD score (advisory score) is out for me~ 82 :-) I guess CA does release scores in batches.
I have read this blog for two days and I am already sick of reading people asking the same questions, getting them answered, and then a new person coming and asking the same question....just read the whole blog and stop asking the same questions over and over!
I took audit NY on 5/7. Do I still have a chance to get my score by tonight? shit this drains me...
Any news on REG scores from CO?
Jeff are the score releases coming out differently than usual? I have read a lot about what sounded like the old grade release process was batch processing of each wave, where as now a lot of people are posting that state boards are stating the grades are being release gradually. Is this something new?
FAR Advisory Score: 81 - Attended: 04/30/2009 12:36:00 woot!!! Thanks Jeff....really appreciate your websites and efforts.
How could you leave the sunshine state? I tend to move all over, originally from Panaman City, went to FSU in Tallahasse, moved to Tampa and now am in Gainesville. The idea of being landlocked scares me, i need water near by (preferably the Gulf). :)
where supposed to email, anyone?
All those who are from CT, I emailed the NASBA - CT coordinator that I am unable to view my AUD score ( I didn't want to ask them when will the AUD score come out, as they have a standard answer for that question), I got a reply within an hour saying that my grade has not come in yet. Now, atleast I know something! I think all those waiting desperately for scores like me should try and email their respective state coordinator.
over and over, some people might know something new
Hey Chris congrats on passing FAR but what state was it?
shichi from Ct, I am from NY suggest whwre to email please
how to find coordinato from NY?
NY audit, still waiting...
pass BES waw
i hear of people in CA getting their FAR scores back already, yet I have yet to receive mine :( does anyone know if they tend to release the passing scores first and the borderline/failing scores later? or is it random?
Congrats Chris!!! I am studying Governmental right now... I hope to be in your shoes in a month!
Go to NASBA.org -> Exams -> CPA exams -> Select your Jurisdiction -> click on the "Contact Us" tab. You should find an email address or an option saying "email us".
Still waiting for AUD and REG in Puerto Rico. This wave has been dreadful.
share with us plan to study
share with us plan to study ,
Just got my FAR at IL.... 72! Re-take on 7/1!
NY state co-ordinator email id - cpaes-ny@nasba.org
I called NASBA and they reiterated that the results they are receiving from AICPA are random and will continue to release them in batches till Mid July.
not FAR away... Just got my FAR at IL?. 72! Re-take on 7/1! do you mean it just got posted on the IL board website this afternoon???
I saw info regarding changes in Audit/reg/ bes when does it will be in a affect
just send email to NY , thanks
No REG in CA.....
Marie Believe me it was hard leaving - I froze this past winter. My husband lost his job in FL, so he got something in VA, we're originally from here. But hey, I still have a home there I can't sell, been on the market over a year, so maybe we should move back in lol.
I have read this blog for two days and I am already sick of reading people asking the same questions, getting them answered, and then a new person coming and asking the same question?.just read the whole blog and stop asking the same questions over and over! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T READ THE BLOG!!!
I just e-mailed my contact person in CA Board on REG score, let's wait to see what she says... I will keep you guys posted.
Marie, I have always loved Florida and even moved to Fort Lauderdale for a while. It rains far too often in the state of Florida, and it really should not call itself the sunshine state because the sun is not out consistently enough. I lived it, and I even researched it to obtain definite weather facts. Florida is one of the rainiest states, and Miami gets tons of rain each year. San Diego, on the other hand, is in the top 10 least rainiest cities. I'm in a better mood on sunny days. I'm moving to San Diego.
But we have no state tax... Always a plus!
taking BEC 05/30
This blog really helpful. Thanks
I do not like my co-workers's non-stop chit-chat while waiting for the score. This woman hasn't stopped since she got here in the morning.
I just lost a job in NY too, takaing advantage to pass CPA
what woman are you talking about?
not polite
You've got me there, Marie. It is nice not having the state tax. They usually get you somehow, but it is nice not having to fool with state tax returns.
Has anybody gotten their REG scores back yet?
still no score for REG
I promise you that either I will post that REG has been released by the AICPA - or some CA/IL candidate wills scream it from the rooftops when it happens.
still no FAR in CA for me :(
The server this site is hosted on is freaking out which is why it goes dark once in awhile...47,000 page views yesterday alone.
From IL Website "Electronic scores received at the Board of Examiners Released on line BEC -- 100% of total testing Thursday, May 14, 2009 AUD ? 63% of total testing (UPDATED) Tuesday, May 19, 2009 FAR ? 78% of total testing Tuesday, May 19, 2009 REG ? NO SCORES RECEIVED"
My FAR score from 1Q is showing again. Are they having problems?
Jeff... or anyone I got in a friendly argument with my uncle over lunch that the current CPA format (4 parts spread out) is harder than the past written CPA format (take all parts same weekend) that he took when he was my age... The problem is I don't really have anything to back my side up on because doing it all in one weekend seems a lot harder. Does anyone know what the differences are? Is the test harder or easier now? Is it more complex now? Still waiting on CA audit.
Has anybody got Audit score from MD?
I haven't heard of any AUD scores released in MD.
I believe the questions are more detailed on the computer based test than when the test was written. I'm not certain because I never took the paper and pencil test.
How many people are going to be checking NASBA tonight for FAR? :)
Still waiting on my score (NM) ...Dagnabit!
Thanks MD-AUD (sat 4/11) Please post/update when you get your score.
To answer someone below: I've taken both the paper and the computer. Although the material is the same, the mental stress of taking the sections for 16 1/2 straight hours makes the exam way more difficult. By the end of the 2nd test, you're already so drained you don't CARE about the other sections anymore. Most stressful test situation I've ever had, and the fact that I have test anxiety doesn't help matters. Plus, you're in a room with hundreds of people with proctors walking around, being annoying. The testing environment is so much better now. That's really the only difference. I'd even say the similations are not any more difficult, perhaps easier, than the by-hand problems we had to complete.
CA Audit, I was doing an audit and the controller brought up this topic and told me the exam is easier with the new format but then changed his mind when and said there were only about 12 FASBs when he took it, lol.
Respond from NY regarding score:audit-NY We just received AUD score from the AICPA. You should be able to view it online by Friday.
just a thought jeff - when you have the latest information regarding when scores have been released, could you post an update to your original post? This way we don't have to constantly wade through comments that are unrelated to when scores are released.
What up with the next wave is it EVER going to come? Does anyone have really and/or live info updates for FAR or REG?
Jeff recently posted an interview with a long-time accounting professor regarding which format is more difficult. I've also seen several authority-types come to the same conclusion. While the current format is easier, the questions are harder and there is extremely more material covered. Overall, the consensus is that it's a wash.
may be tonight
re: update... I did this last night...is this what you mean? Revised NASBA release prediction: # May 17 - BEC # May 15 - BEC actual NASBA release # May 19 - AUD # May 19 - AUD actual NASBA release # May 20 - REG # May 21 - FAR
I truly do not understand why it has to be like this. Seriously, how hard would it be for the AICPA to set up a page that tells the dates they are going to release each section? They could save the test takers and themselves such anguish. If I knew my grade was going to be released on 5/22, I would be mentally prepared to wait that long. Why does score release have to be shrouded in such mystery? If I don't get my REG score soon, I might actually just explode in my chair!
computewr exam is easier in some respect but more difficult in other
Illinois posted 78% of FAR scores. I took my test April 1st. I didn't receive my score in this wave does that mean I am borderline?
The old paper exam, you only had o take 2 parts, not 4. And then you could take 1 part at a time, after you passed 2 parts.
yep! just saw that after I posted. Greatly appreciated!!!
I posted this earlier, but it acted like it never went, so if I am re-posting this and someone has answered - I'm sorry! Question - does anyone know if your response on the Communication section matters? I swear I read something in the Becker materials that said you must stay on topic, but that you are graded on your writing abilities, not whether or not the answer is correct. Anyone know? Jeff?? I ask because I made the mistake of thumbing through my book in the car after I got out of my test. DUMB! I know one of my communications was WRONG!! Oops...
FAR 4/1 says: May 20, 2009 at 4:03 pm "Illinois posted 78% of FAR scores. I took my test April 1st. I didn?t receive my score in this wave does that mean I am borderline?" No, that doesn't mean that you are borderline... I have read a lot here that people receiving their scores in Wave 2 instead of Wave 1 sometimes receive great scores. so, you need not worry :)
If IL has some FAR & no REG, then they are switched around, and we should give up hope for REG today?
ANS (REG) TX The most important thing is the format (no red and green squiggly lines) and that you are at least somewhat on topic (hence using the words within the question) for the INITIAL grading which is done by a computer. However if you are in the range of 73-77, an actual person will read it and then that is where getting the question right matters... However format is generally more important than correct context, as long as, even your wrong context is still on the correct subject.
I took FAR in Illinois on April 1st and did not receive my score. Did anyone else take it on that date and get their score or not get their score?
?Illinois posted 78% of FAR scores. I took my test April 1st. I didn?t receive my score in this wave does that mean I am borderline?? <---- Not at all. My friend took Reg on Jan 7th last window and didn't receive her score in wave 1 and then received it in wave 2 with a 95. And I know for three other people that made 85s! Don't stress yourself out about it.
Thank you CA AUD! I always wondered!
Laura (AUD) says: May 20, 2009 at 3:40 pm Still waiting on my score (NM) ?Dagnabit! Laura, I feel your pain. This is my first exam and I hope it is not this way everytime.
I took FAR in Illinois on April 1st and did not receive my score. Did anyone else take it on that date and get their score or not get their score?
Still waiting for my FAR score in CA, I sat for the exam 4/2.... :(
Still no FL AUD score. I'm beginning to lose hope for this wave. :(
Still nothing for AUD in Maryland. Does Maryland usually lag behind the other states? If anyone has heard anything, please post.
CAdreamin, Did other people in CA get their FAR scores yet?
Jeff, do you think CA/IL will release Reg tomorrow? If so, then there is a chance we will get it Friday night for a NASBA state?
In regards to "Anonymous says: May 20, 2009 at 5:27 pm CAdreamin, Did other people in CA get their FAR scores yet?" From what I have read on this website, YES! This troubles me because I have not received mine yet and I took the exam at the beginning of this testing window.
I haven't received my score and I wrote FAR 4/2 in IL.
Aud-MD Not sure why, but in my experience Maryland is a little slower than the other states in posting scores (I have passed two sections, waiting for audit to be my third). I know several people who have taken audit in the current window, and everyone is still waiting...
still haven't received my audit score (NY). has everyone else?
Craig - in your experience, has MD ever released scores at night? I guess it's good that no one has heard...
no score for me! FAR in CA on 4/24...This is so painful!!! I have AUD tomorrow at noon and I can't concentrate!!!
anybody from NY finnaly got a grade?
My guess is that REG will come out tomorrow, but of course, I won't know for sure. When I get an e-mail...I'll pass it on. However - yours truly is playing golf all day tomorrow (I play once a year...my real hobby is my dirtbike) and if I get an e-mail via my phone - I will post an update on TWITTER...I can't post it here via my phone. So...if you want an update tomorrow (if one comes out...) ... please join twitter and/or follow me. https://twitter.com/another71
MD AUD As Craig said, I have noticed MD is behind other states by a day or so as well. Additionally, I have received three of my previous scores in the morning (not sure what that actually means). Finally, last section I had waited on I saw numerous posts that MD had been released, and I heard nothing that day and assumed I was in the second wave. A day later, the score came in. Hope any of that helps.
No AUD for me yet.
I am still waiting for my AUD in NY result. I took it during the first week of April.
yea me too, I took it on 4/1
My scores were released around 11 am and 12:30 pm. Everyone else that I know has received their scores around the same time. The latest time I've heard from anyone is 3 pm. In short then, I wouldn't expect to see scores from Maryland at night.
CAdreamin and IL 4/2, Sounds like all three of us are in the same boat. We all took FAR in the early part of the window and did not receive our scores. Let's hope it has something to do with some Sim or something. I felt like I did ok, but now this is driving me nuts
can i join that boat? waiting on FAR in CA took 4/24...
Nevermind...I added the twitter code to the sidebar under the bird...updates will appear there.
IL - Received my FAR score this morning, 78, third time is a charm. took it on 4/25 and completely relieved. I am all done including the ethics exam and wanted to say best of luck to all those in their journey.
Anonymous (NY) @ 4:04P... w/the old paper exam in IL you had to take ALL 4 parts (not just 2) and then you had to score 75 on 2 parts, and at least 50 on 2 parts to be able to re-take the parts you failed. So, if you had a 75, 72, and 2- 45's (good grief!) you had to retake ALL 4 parts again!
I see hey update the system
I took FAR on 4/20 in CA. Received my passing score in the morning today
hopefully tomorrow Audit score in NY
hopedully tomorrow
congratulations lacycat!
any oklahoma candidate got their audit score yet...
So on NASBA, it said my BEC score was 76...but when I went to look at it again, it says error, score not received or something like that. Is that normal? Please don't tell me that they changed their mind and are going to give me a 74?!!?!
did anyone using wiley?
to Gabriela:the score not found because they update the system
Does that mean they might be putting on the FAR/new AUD scores?
Let's cross our fingers...NY is in the process of updating scores. (I know this from past experience. Whenever my old scores disappear, that means they are adding scores to the system.) Hopefully those of us who didn't get our Audit scores last night will get it tonight. Oh yeah, also those of you waiting for FAR/REG, I hope your grades come in too. :)
?
ti Lisa NY: Do you think srore willbe available tonight or tomorrow?
I studied BEC from Becker and Wiley
yep, system is updating
I don't have as much knowledge as Jeff, but last night, around 10PM, a handful got their AUD scores. Jeff said 850 additional audit scores were released, sooooo, I'm hoping we are included in that 850, and the system is updated again at 10pm.
Is that 850 additional audit scores just in NY or can it be anywhere? I am waiting on Audit in PA... just wondering if I have a chance at getting it tonight.
any luck from NY?
To Teresa and Lisa: I'm waiting for my FAR score as well, so when you say they are updating the system to add new scores, does that mean they are going to add my FAR score soon, or they are just adding other people's scores? Thanks!
Sorry, I am kinda of new here. Who is Jeff here? Instructor?
I am slso waiting audit NY
I as well am waiting for my Audit score. Is there a way to figure out how many people took AUD from 4/1 - 5/8? I am trying to figure out what chance I have of being one of the 850 receiving scores soon.
not yet
Jeff is the site creator. He has the NASBA leads. He's our GOD, (welcome to our cult). And those additional 850 audit results is not just NY but a number of states across the country.
I have no idea how many people took audit. As far as I know, a few my coworkers
I have no idea how many people took audit. As far as I know, a few my coworkers

I'm out of Delaware and hoping my AUD score is released soon, anyone either receive or waiting for grade out of Delaware?
NJ no score yet
Let's see, before the 850 grades were released, 51% of the AUD grades were released. Now, 63% are released, so 850 is approximately equal to 12%. Therefore, the accountant in me thinks there were about 7083 AUD exam tests taken. :)
Sanjaya whats up? Congrulations on passing BEC, and REG man!!!!
Girls Rule Boyz Drool!
I am waiting on FAR as well. This is killing me. I better get it tonight. I am surprised they haven't blocked this site at my work. Because i keep refreshing hoping to get new informaiton. My productivity is way down. Stressing in FL over FAR.
Still waiting for FAR in MA. And where the hell is your mom? She's 2-days late now
Marie Would you like some ice cold beer with a passing score ? Do you wanna supersize your score to 98?
far takes much longer to grade
What about REG is that out anywhere?
Does anyone know what time they post new scores for NASBA?
Believe me the alcohol is flowing. :)
Its a bit weird that I still can see my AUD score (68) of 1Q in the NASBA website. Shouldnt it be refreshed for the 2Q release? I'm waiting for better score for 2Q!
I'm going mad and still waiting for FAR and AUD in CA. I took those at the begining of this window. Please show me the scores soon. :(
chin up
I can not see my 1Q grade , does it mean system is updating in NY
I can't see my Q1 grade either (MA)
Can anyone answer Gabriela's question from above, I'm having the same problem: I took the BEC and received a score a few days ago, but now its gone. Someone said they are updating the system, so the grade will be gone temporarily, because they are adding new scores. I?m waiting for my FAR score as well, so when you say they are updating the system to add new scores, does that mean they are going to add my FAR score soon, or they are just adding other people?s scores?
me too
When this site was down for a while earlier, I thought our IT department blocked my access thru this site; but it couldn't stop me though. I went to a co-worker's workstation and used her computer.
Marie from FL...im stressing about FAR too! anyone from FL get there FAR gradE?
Hahaha, pickinchikin...i remember reading your comment a few days ago about waiting on your mom...that was a much needed laugh. And, yes to answer your question Gerry from above, Jeff is our Gandhi, our MLK Jr., our Mother Theresa, our savior. (ok im done) But anywho...any updates on FAR in CA? Where my FAR people / CA people at?!!!? HOLLA
yesterday also 1Q is gone temparary, but I have not received grade
The only ones i have heard that got their FAR grade was IL. I am hoping by tomorrow morning it will be posted. Rumor has it that some were released today.
Audit people are here?
Marie, you waiting on FAR? I have audit tomorrow at noon, cant concentrate or focus without a FAR score!
I wish I may, I wish I might, have that darn FAR score tonight I just cant handle waiting another day.... please o please NASBA give me my score
Jeff, interested in telling NASBA that they should embrace the power of email and their system should email people a notice when their scores can be accessed via the system? I can't believe they don't have that feature yet.
nothing
I can see my REG score from 1Q disappear and my FAR score hasnt popped up and its driving me crazy while trying to study AUD for 26th
Yes. I took FAR on 4/11 and have been a nervous reck since i discovered these posts monday. I have REG on 5/30 and need to concentrate as well. I passed BEC on 2/28, so i need the FAR to continue the streak. I am an auditor, so i am saving that for last. :)
My site got blocked by an IT dept? That's big time! :)
Good luck! hopefully we will see some results tonight (im CA are you?) Seems we are practically in the same boat..i've also passed BEC, but putting off REG till mid summer. Lets cross our fingers! I messed up pretty big time on one of my FAR sims, hopefully it was immaterial..(little acctg humor cmon...)
I took audit on 04/22
So, Jeff you think scores willbe available sometime soon?
Question: Anyone receive their FAR scores and not pass? I feel like they only people we hear from are those that pass...does that mean the people that haven't received their scores did NOT pass? I'm wearing out the refresh button on my computer praying my scores will come!
I am in FL. Yes i laugh at all of those stupid accounting jokes. My non accounting friends think i am such a dork. I feel ok about most of my SIMs but know i missed one little part on each of them, and missed a key word on one communication, but know i got the other parts right. so i am praying hard. If i pass FAR i will go ahead and schedule AUD for July. I just finished my last REG lecture and plan on reviewing until 5/30. What a fun Memorial Day weekend i have ahead of me.
anyone?
CAdreamin, Hope your theory is incorrect...Definitely don't want to receive the depressing <75...praying for an update tonight!!
lol, still waiting
**if it were me** I would call it a night and do something fun - get away from the computer. I don't think you'll see scores tonight...I haven't heard one way or the other...I just think it makes sense for them to come out via NASBA tomorrow night - not tonight. While I am very thankful that everyone visits my site like they do...I think a night off could calm some frazzled nerves. Having been through this many times myself - I know that you can drive yourself MAD and it affects every aspect of your life...can't eat/sleep/work/emotionally connect with family...you're thinking about one thing - YOUR SCORE. Go do something fun tonight...I bet they come out tomorrow night. Again - this is based on nothing but a guess. If I knew either way - I would certainly tell you. Thanks again for everyone's contributions today. -Jeff
WHen people say they got their scores last night at 10:00, is that EDT or Central?
I am going to s;eeo, hope tomorrow
Seriously, how did they arrive at 75, in high school 65 was passing, and that was fine by me...where do these people get off?
do you think REG (NASBA) will be released next week??
I agree with Jeff. I am headed to bed. As it is almost 11 Eastern time. And tomorrow will come that much faster. Another day of waiting gone. :) Night all and good luck.
JEFF! I can't go out and do something fun anyway..lol got audit tomorrow..but I appreciate the words of encouragement! I will utitlize all the effort I would have put into having fun..into studying TIP PIE ACDO and GAAS. Fun Fun. Heres to passing!
AAAHHHH!!!
I think Jeff is right, good night everyone
re: score time last night it was 9pm central
Crap. Was hoping FAR was going to be posted tonight. I'm off to bed.
I'm with you Jeff...I have now consumed many brews!!!
i can't beleive that, its look like i am the only one from Oklahoma board therefore no body answer my question if anybody else gotten their audit score yet. i knew its a poor and dull state but never knew that no body takes cpa exam from oklahoma, you got to love this state
I've been drunk now for over two weeks.
I envy you jim..i must say, lemme get the next round.
Dying an agonizing death in NY waiting for FAR. Praying that I passed this time around(second time taking FAR, passed Audit and Reg.) Why do they torture us this way???
For so long...the AICPA did me so wrong...and I dont want to go on...living in this world without my REG grade.
not sure about any okies taken the exam... but people from kansas do. hello oklahoma - from up north.
" I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks" Nice Buffett reference Jim Going Crazy over a PA FAR score. 12:30AM here and I can't sleep
Still waiting on FARE in MA. Anyone get their scores back yet??? This waiting game is worse than the wait to see the Celtics back in the playoffs.
here's response from NASBA on FAR scores..nothing concrete Hello, Nasba has not received any FAR scores from the AICPA yet, we should soon. Thank you Coordinator, National Candidate Database (NCD) National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, Inc. (NASBA) Celebrating 100 Years! P.O. Box 198709 Nashville, TN 37219 Toll Free: (800) 297.6096 Fax: (615) 324.1268 All candidates for the Uniform CPA Examination are advised to download and read the Candidate Bulletin.
Plenty of people (here and those I know personally) have received FAR scores early this morning, but sadly I was not one of them...I finally called the CA State Board and the girl that everyone thought was lying from Tuesday morning was right. CA is releasing FAR scores in a trickle. I was told to keep checking from now until the end of June. GREAT. As if the CPA exam didn't take enough time from my baby son now just checking for the damn score continues to...he always wants the keyboard bet he learnes to type my password lol! FARE will be my last if I pass, otherwise I lose AUD and BEC. Thinking of quitting public accounting and becoming a surrogate mother for the stars if I don't pass ;o)
Texas board is unavailable until 5am. hope they are updating some scores!!! good night
For FAR-CA: The following is the message I got from the state board this morning, regarding an score request email that I sent to them yesterday. I have got my score this morning, but just want to share this email with those of you who did not. Hopefully this will give you more hope. And good luck: In response to your email, we received _some_ of the first wave FAR scores this morning. Scores are released once a day. within minutes of our receipt. This includes weekends and holidays. So I guess the next time they are releasing the score is tomorrow morning. So good night everyone!
Question about NASBA- Why would they bother to lie? Obviously scores were received, AICPA doesn't only send them to Illinois for fun. I don't understand why there can't be a reasonable turn around like there are for the other parts of the CPA exam. Also, still waiting for a REG score here in NY. Come on let's pass and be done with this darn test once and for all!
thanks alice
Thanks Alice, you are soooo kind !!!! Anyway, are they releasing AUD tomorrow morning, too ? Still waiting for FAR and AUD in CA with a hope to pass....
NY AUD WTF WHERE ARE THE SCORES
I was told my score is in and it is not posted, is this some sick joke?
i hvnt been able to sleep the whole damn nite..no luck on FAR
Anyone received AUD scores from New Hampshire?
any scores released last night?
wow, could it be true no scores were released??? this is kind of ridiculous...
Has anyone received their REG scores yet? I took the exam in April and am REALLY hoping not to get the score during the 2nd wave.
still no score, even though they told me they had my score yesterday morning. My God is this frustrating. I thought for sure it would be posted last night. I even convinced myself to not check until I woke up this morning. I simply can not wait any longer.
did anybody get audt in NY?
No Florida REG yet. Actually, I am surprised how well I'm taking it. I go to the site, type in the info, hold my breath, and.....nothing. I shrug my shoulders and forget about it. I do think not knowing is sapping my motivation for BEC upcoming, though. That, and work. I know that the true pressure only really starts when I know that I've passed something.
I emailed my contact, will immediately post response
No FAR or REG in GA. It will be another long day!
this is going to put me in a poor mood all day. have REG 5/30, receiving a FAR score from 4/11 would give me the boost I need right now. not receiving a score while knowing other people have theirs drags me down more than I thought it would. FUAICPA
haven't received my audit score in NY yet.. did anyone get theirs this morning?
ok, so I am not the only one they told they had a score and not posted...remember, AUD NY came in friday and was posted tuesday night....heres to grades tonight...again, i will immediately post when i get a response from my contact...maybe anyone in ny who was told they have a grade wait to email and do not flood?
nothing
I got audit from the website yesterday afternoon, but this morning, when I was checking for REG, I checked audit again and it was gone.
Adam - Hopefully that means they're updating the database for REG!
adam, what state are you brotha
any REG updates?
Is anyone here work full time, study for the CPA exam, and go to grad school all at the same time? I just want to know if it's doable because i'm going to be on that boat soon.
RP-I work full time, went to grad school, went through a divorce and remarriage, and have 2 teenagers! Hang in there. It is tough but that is the beauty of this site...we are all here for each other.
This will not come as a surprise to anybody, but no FAR for me yet. For the fun of it, I checked to see if my BEC & REG scores were still on NASBA (I took those sections during Q4 2008), and they were still up. I thought that was odd.
I am still waiting for audit in Michigan and I took it the second week of April. :( The is my 5th time taking it and last time I got a 74. I had no idea how much fun the CPA exam would be.
Thank you Angela, good to know that someone else if did it as well
Nasba said by Friday audit in NY
Still no FAR in FL. i took it on 4/11. This will be a long day of work and waiting.
I know just a few people who passed from the 1 time
The waiting is literally making me sick. I had to take off from work today because my body is just a massive ball of nerves. Everyday waiting is another completely unproductive day for me. I haven't done anything at work all week, except go between this site, cpanet.com and twitter. It is so unfair that we actually pay thousands of dollars to be tortured. Forget waterboarding! This is worse!
The actual waiting (when everyone else is waiting) doesn't really bother me. What REALLY gets to me is when 78% of the other people get their scores, such as FAR, and I don't get mine. So many things run through my mind as to why . . . then it ends in my mind with me failing. I hate it.
I'm right with ya, Phyllis! We're getting ready for May close next week...I'll be enough behind with having Memorial Day off, and worrying about my score isn't making matters any better!
But I am not that lucky
Has anyone heard when the Reg scores will be posted in NY?
I am with you Amy
another nonproductive day
I'm really going to have a big problem if I don't get my FAR score tomorrow morning.
from NY
anybody receive anything new in CA today? just trying to figure out if i should stop checking for the day. i think i checked at least 50 times yesterday for my far score.
RP- I worked full time and went to grad school, finished school and then sat for the exam (still working Full time) I am waiting on my scores from my final section (AUD) and passed all others on the first try. I think anything is doable but I don't know if I could have personally done all three at once. I have a friend who tried it and after her first section she learned her lesson and put off the CPA exam until after she finished school. She was also in public accounting though- If you have a more laid back job you might be able to swing it but I wouldn't say its optimal. Why do you want to do all three at once?
This is ridiculous. Now I am angry too. At first I was being patient, but my job is relying on this exam. Just give us the scores, we payed enough money to take this exam. IM GOING TO SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phyllis, I totally agree with you ....this wait is worst then any kind of torturing techniques out there...it?s killing me severely (not softly) ?
Av, You're not the only person in OK who is taking the CPA exam. I'm waiting on my reg score. But, I will tell you this for whatever it's worth. I took audit on Aug 25 and got my score in the 2nd wave with CA,IL,VA people in the middle of the day. Let you know my reg score comes in on time.
Nj - anybody received their scores?
I can't believe scores still aren't being released. This is really frustrating. Has anyone heard anything about the release for FAR? I really don't want to be waiting (or worried about checking for that matter) during the holiday weekend.
I honestly can't believe how technologically challenged NASBA and this whole testing system is. It's insanity! I dreamt about getting my score all night!
mot yet?
I can not wait anymore either
For what this is worth, my Q4 2008 BEC & REG scores are no longer available on NASBA. Hopefully this means PA is updating. *crossing fingers*
Hi Cassandra, i already pass one part, waiting for REG that i took on 4/27, and i have BEC on 5/30. my grad class start on 5/28, but i figure that it's doable since they are summer online class. i just need to make sure that i pass all 4 parts over the summer before my live classes start. The only problem is i get up at 5AM for work and i don't get home till 5:30PM, which only give me about 4 to 5 hours a day to study. I'm afraid when i start grad school, i won't have enough time to study.....i'm feel like i'm going to put myself through HELL.
anybody recieved FAR in TX?
I feel bad for all you guys still waiting for your scores! Hopefully they will come out before the long holiday weekend. VA released scores yesterday a.m.
Thanks Amy. That actually gives me a little bit of hope.
far in NY?
WA State FAR results are in............
Still no FAR in NJ. And as far as I know from my coworkers no one has gotten reg yet either. Dammit, I need reg to come out today so that there's HOPE that FAR comes out tomorrow. I don't want this hanging over my head all weekend.
Wendy, it looks like one of those weird times that FAR is released before REG.
Just as an FYI, still no REG in IL either. I just want to know if I passed!!
Has anyone in CA or IL received REG??!? :)
I emailed NASBA about FAR in NY, will post if/when I get a reply.
Is grad school worth it if you can pass the CPA exam? Meaning is it an added advantage?
THE GIANTS WIN THE PENANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENANT!! oh my god - i passed! ! I am going to be a CPA ! ! After 3 LONG years - countless nights & weekends - the birth of my son - the loss of 2 jobs - 13 FREAKING exams - -- -I HAVE DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! AND _you_ CAN TOOOOO!!!! ! ! !! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! I LOVE YOU ALL ! ! ! thank you thank you thank you a H U G E _Thank You_ to Jeff Mr. Another 71! You are an incredible inspiration & a true professional...You will do great things. Good Luck To All ! !
I can not see my 1Q far grade
can not see my 1Q far grade
NJ nothing for audit or fare yet..hahah so true, this is definitely worse than waterboarding...but to be honest..i think having this site is worse for me..before knowing about this site i didnt know about the whole lame processes of some ppl gettin their scores before and some so late and i would just check daily for my score and if it werent there i'd just keep trying and i got it within 3 weeks..now its been nearly 6...but still i think ignorance is bliss..cuz before i wouldnt be on here checking who got it and who didnt!
Hey Joey Congrats!!!!!
No FAR in Texas yet for me neither.
WAITING and WAITING
RP- That's good news! Sounds like you will be able to make it through the summer with what you have planned! GOOD LUCK!!! :)
Way to go Joey!! Major congrats!!
CONGRATS JOEY!!!! BTW, what state and what exam?
Congratulations Joey!
That was kinda emotional joey
Anyone heard when FAR is supposed to be out for NY?
No AUD is Mass yet. Took exam 4/25 Emailed Mass coordinator this morning, reply yet
do we expect audit today?
Did anyone receive FAR for MA? Just being curious . . . I hope I am not in the second wave . . .
I feel like REG is never going to be released... took REG 4/5 in MASS. Have BEC 5/29, just want my REG score for peace of mind.
Passed audit in TX. 78!!!
yep?
I just got all my scores today! (May 21) I took all four sections in Florida. Got 76s across the board.
Ok, soooo...Tuesday night at around 9ish, my Aud score was online. I passed! I made a screen print to memorialize the momentus occassion and now... it's gone! My score is no longer available online?!?? What is the meaning of this? Why was it taken down? Jeff, help!!! Is the score still valid? By the way, I'm in NY.
SCongradulation Stephanie ; did u get ur grade just now?
I just talked to my coordinator [after receiving all my scores in FL today (may 21)]. he said if you don't receive your scores by 10:45 EST, you failed. good luck all.
You got all of your scores from FL????? all four sections? When did you take FAR? and what crack are you smoking that you took them all in one window?
Mike Congrats but does that mean you got your REG score?
congratulations Joey
hey any one in CA recd Reg?
mike is full of it bc BEC has been out for a while..youre a tool, pal..and NASBA would never say that..ill save jeff the posting time yeah stephanie, when did you get that grade? oh, youre a tool mike
Congrats, Mike Oxbig! Good work!
"Marie says: May 21, 2009 at 8:28 am You got all of your scores from FL????? all four sections? When did you take FAR? and what crack are you smoking that you took them all in one window?" Marie, I think going by "he said if you don?t receive your scores by 10:45 EST, you failed," we can safely say someone is trying to pull our collective leg.
I am also from NY how come there is no my grade yet?
Guys he's lying and if I had to guess he's about 13 years old with a user name like that
still waiting on FAR for MA as well, your not alone :(
Wrong site for this, Mike. We ALL know better. Reps don't say things like that, that DOES NOT mean you have failed, and REG is not out yet!!!
how nice to say if do no receive by 10:45 u failed
Hey, Me(aud-NY), way to go 'murder she wrote'!!! how did you figure it out???? genius!
I just called the VA board to see if I was one of the lucky ones to get my audit score released in the mini release update. The person on the phone checked, and then reminded me that I called earlier(Monday, like I forgot I called), and said they dont have it in an angry voice. Maybe, if they didn't "upgrade" their website and no longer give it the ability to update scores online they wouldn't have to deal with me calling once every 3 days. And.....now I'm even more frustrated now that they had an attitude about my call. I realize their phones are ringing off the hook but that is just unprofessional.
Has anyone from MI received audit scores?
do not u understand u put people down
I can't study for BEC until I know what I got in REG. Nothing in IL yet. :(
DMC PA - even if i am 13, i have one thing you obviously don't. if you don't know what it is, i'll give you a hint... it has three letters and comes right after the name on my business card.
J did you give them like a 'Oh? I did? Oooops'
MikeOx, then why are you on this site?
called nasba
why am i on this site? because i get CPE credit for posting enough.
This sucks....I need to know now if I passed Reg...
Mike there is no need to be a jerk... and FYI Jeff will ban you if you are lying. pay attention. We are all professionals. Grow up.
Did you have your mom print those cards up for you at Staples? Don't be a clown. No one here has time for it. I would have imagined that a CPA could find a better way to make use of his time.
(I guess in some peoples case CPA really does stand for Certified Pain in the A**.) Remember Mike, you didn't always have your license, if you indeed have it, and unethical behavior can get it taken away. Please go to another blog and harass someone else. We are here to motivate each other. This is not cute, funny, or even ethical!!
I have to do CPE, and no you dont get credit.... maybe someone is playing a bad joke on you.
MikeOx is probably some bored low level intern...go get me some coffee boy. And i want REG in NY...like soon
Hey Texas FAR - I saw on CPAnet somebody from TX said they got their scores. I hope that doesnt mean we are in the second wave.
melissa, you called NASBA and they gave you your grade?????????
Melissa, Thanks! I got my grade at 6:00am today
Jeff will ban me? I'll ban him first.
they said between now and June
BigDave - what you said about me is so untrue. I'm not bored.
Mikes mom likes valium and lots of drugs thats why mikes on what he's on cause he's his mom.
trolling a CPA prep site? Dude get a life.
melissa and stephanie, sorry i mixed the 2 of you up hahah, melissa got the generic response..stephanie congrats!
i am mad
You guys can say what you want about me, but I'm not going to let you ruin my day of golfing with my good buddy Jeff. I think I'm going to turn my blackberry off now. BTW - Jeff isn't even studying for the CPA exam, he's a jazz dancer hoping to make it on 'so you think you can dance'.
Hey- For those of you who had a score up the other day and now its gone, it happened with people who took BEC too, their score was up over the weekend and now its gone. Clearly there are issues with the site this time around.
We all are going to pass, chin up
Mike, I have your IP address and I will be reporting you to the local authorities. You might want to get off of your daycare providers computer, pull up your diaper and make a run for it while you can!!!
Just ignore the troll, they feed off of your responses.
no audit in ny
Anyone know anything on REG? You have us spoiled Jeff! We miss you!
We are here to help each other, Mike if you are bored do not be bothered, grade till 10:45 or whatever does not mean anything.
you have my IP address and will report me to the authorities? uh oh, how many years in prison do you think i'll get for the several laws i've broken here today? can we cut a deal? i'm so sorry!
I e-mailed Jeff.
Wait a sec, were you kidding about all that news, Mike Ox?
I apologize for being such a tool, just jealous of you all. :)
keep my fingers crossed. NASBA is updating DE scores right now because my Auditing score from this window disappeared. Hope I can pass FAR my last part.
Beware of posers. The real Mike Oxbig would never be lame enough to use an emoticon.
Oh where oh where haave our audit score gone oh whereeeeeeeeeee oh where may they beeeeeeeeeeee
would be nice to receive grade before Holiday
Mike Ox, people are nerves, it is not fun and time for jokes.
Everytime, I go to this website, I hate seeing the picture which reads "the wait just got easier." In my opinion, this is the worst score release yet - anyone else feel this way?
FYI i got my FAR score in TX this morning and i passed! it's going to be a good day. hope you guys don't have to wait much longer.
kim, there is no better time for jokes than when people are nerves. btw - you're welcome
Got FAR this morning in Texas. Passed! Took the test on 4/27 for anyone worried about being in the second wave.
agree with Kim
Waiting on REG....it's my last one and the only one I failed with a 73....what a kick in the ass.
Mike Ox, make yor jokes somewhere else, w do not need ur stupid joke
Reg in NY that is
Hey all - These are Jeff's words in response to Mr. bigOx. "Plz dont feed the troll..." Via Twitter!!
I am still waiting for my AUD score in NY. Just curious, did anyone who is still waiting for the score in NY get those weird looking FARE typed simulations? I wonder if that causes the delay.
ok, i'm done. sorry for being a jerk. i remember the pain of waiting for CPA scores. just be thankful, when i got my scores it was snail mail only (and one of my scores got sent to the wrong address). you will all be CPAs one day, and you will always cherish the day you met Mike Oxbig.
whe worth score released I hav had before
anonymous watch the talk on simulations, but i got the 'unique one' i believe....i have sent 2 emails and got no feedback after getting feedback the past 2 days
"Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 9:18 am I am still waiting for my AUD score in NY. Just curious, did anyone who is still waiting for the score in NY get those weird looking FARE typed simulations? I wonder if that causes the delay." I'm wondering the same thing, my coworker got what sounds like the sim you are describing, and she hasn't received her score yet.
I agree with the wait on this wave being the worst. I don't know why I am on edge, checking grades every ten minutes. I know I failed REG because I didn't finish it. I seriously thought I had more time but after I finished one tab on the second simulation the computer timed out and that was all she wrote (literally)!
Any Indiana FAR results yet?
no audit in ny either
lacpa - I am with you as I didn't finish the sims either. But many on here have assured me that that doesn't mean you failed. MANY MANY didn't finish the sims and passed, some with rather high scores.
still no score for me
I had AUD type sims and still no grade.
MikeOxbig whats with the arrogance, I'm sure you aren't that great in real life!
lacpawannabe, I am in a similar position as you. I know I failed FAR...I felt like the testlets didn't change much in difficulty, I had one communication that I couldn't expand on in more than 2-3 sentences, one simulation tab that has always been a weak point, and after I left the Prometric center I realized some stupid mistakes I made on another simulation tab. Yet I keep checking and I am really nervous! I guess this is because I was really sure I failed BEC (lots of topics I didn't recognize, lots of guessing...), and I was surprised with a 78. I guess in the back of my mind I'm hoping for the same thing.
audit is hard
audit is hard for me
Thanks Angela. I needed to hear that! Two 71's behind me and I don't want to fail another test. Family and friends are mostly school teachers and don't understand how hard this test really is.
still waiting for my FAR and AUD in CA. getting tired of waiting. PLEASE NO MORE DAYS !!
Unless they have taken it, no family or friends realize how hard the exam is....they cannot sympathize.
keep checking verey 10 min
So it seems like some in TX have FAR scores and some don't. I'm in the "don't" category...took the test 4/19. Here's hoping they release more throughout the day!
Still no word about FAR in CA...ugh! anyways guess I gotta get it out of my mind and go concentrate on AUD. (Test at noon today!) Good luck to all!
I had a FAR type simulation for my AUD exam also (NY)! I walked out wondering what that was all about. Still haven't received my score yet.
I am wanting to see if anyone else is having the same type of frustrations as I am. I am currently taking the exam with 6 other coworkers and we are all using the SAME Becker materials. Throughout the process I have consistently scored much higher on the homework and simulated exams than the people I know, however, the tests I'm receiving (based on the experiences my coworkers have had) are night and day different from what they're receiving. For instance, I was scoring a 95% on the Becker simulated exams and homework in BEC, and I walked into the test and could have hit quit after the first testlet b/c the questions were like nothing I'd ever seen. I was literally ill...and I'm not a bad test taker. Anyways, to make a long story short, my coworkers are walking out of the tests seeing the exact same types of questions that they did in the review materials...just less complicated...whereas I believe I'm getting totally different types of tests. I have my MBA and over 11 years of accounting work experience. I finished both my undergrad and grad school while working FT and completed them with a 3.5 and 4.0 respectively. Does anyone else out there feel like you're being given more difficult tests based on your educational level, etc. versus others that you've talked to that do not have the same qualifications as you? It is just hard b/c I now feel like it doesn't matter how hard I study or how high I get on the homework and simulated exams...when I'm walking into the test I'm not being given the same type of exam and there's nothing I can do about it. I cannot logically explain why I am scoring so much higher in the SAME prep. materials, yet, I am getting a 71 on the test, and others are getting a 91, 86, etc. If we are using the same materials, I should be having the same test experience if the tests are really all equal. I'd just like to find out if anyone else has felt this way. Thanks!
Still no REG for me.
my husband does not understand how hard it is, 2year staght 2 passed section waiting audit, bec on 05/29/09... endless
Does NASBA upload scores during the day or is it pointless to keep pressing the submit button?
Does anyone know anything about how AL releases? I can't find any website for it, so I assume I have to wait for snail mail?
Just got an email reply from Senior Examination Coordinator & State Board Liaison for Delaware, Indiana and Hawaii.. part of my question: I have been checking my score since yesterday, but I cannot see my score there (refering to NASBA.ORG), does that mean I fail ? Response: No. Just keep checking on it and you will get the score letter shortly. Thanks I am hoping "letter SHORTLY" is "today", and I am hoping WE ALL pass.
From NASBA's website. This stinks. I am sorry. Alabama SCORE MAILING All scores for the current testing window are mailed via U.S Mail. Scores are not faxed or emailed to candidates. Score notices are only distributed via U.S. Mail.
Steve - Thanks! Amy - I can never tell if they change in difficulty. Maybe I can't because I haven't passed one yet. I was the same way with BEC. I had about 6 educated guesses and quite a few wild guesses on topics I hadn't studied. That score is coming 2nd wave so I'm not stressing about it YET.
Of course, Alabama, at the rate this release is going we may all get the snail mail before the online!!
it is going to be rediculas
Correct NY AUDIT...they do NOT upload...I am checking this to see if anyone gets updates from anyone..thank to you to the people that are posting...so lets keep hope up for tonight, folks
I got an update from NASBA for Delaware. The person said that they are receiving FAR scores and if you havent got your yet, there is a strong possibility that you will get it sometime between mid-end of June.
You mean ridiculous? (spelling)
anyone else receive audit in NY????????????????
I mean ridiculous or rediculas still ridiculous
RP - I will tell you I took all four sections my last semester of full-time grad school, while working *very* part-time and it was really tough. I don't want to say that what you're trying to do is unrealistic, just be prepared to have ABSOLUTELY no life. And definitely try to get done before live classes start.
any news about NY FARE ?
rediculas= red - eye - colors = all of us who stay 27/7 studying and refreshing blogs and score posting boards!
Oh well, thanks anyway! I was afraid of that (though hoping they would email me like they did the NTS). Guess I need to just try and focus on studying for BEC which I am taking in one week and pray that the results are in the mail at least by Saturday. Either way I think I will be able to study better knowing.
no audit score
me too, I would rather know
pass/fail
has anyone in VA received REG score?
Anonymous (May 21, 2009 at 9:35 am), you articulated this point much better than I ever did! I felt that exact way after my FAR exam. I started to think that maybe the examiners looked at the Becker material and purposely left out questions that are considered "heavily tested" in favor of the "optional" reading material.
For people wainting for REG scores in MA & WI, i contacted the Senior Examination Coordinator & State Board Liaison (WI & MA), and she said that no scores have been release by the AICPA yet. my best guess is a lot of candidates had a new simulations, so they need more time to evaluate the response.
JustCurious: some states require grad school in order to be a CPA, so if you don't have the extra classes, you could pass the test 1000 times and still not be a CPA.
waiting for audit score
Jeff - Do you think IL will get more FAR scores soon (more than the 78% released yesterday)??? I'm dying here!!
GA FAR scores? anybody? i'm dying here...
Jeff, do you see a possibility of FAR scores releasing in wave 2?
still waiting in CA for FAR...sat 4/2....this is eating up, I just want to know!
Amy: I have a theory about the increasing difficulty of testlets. For the first three sections I sat for: BEC (90), REG(87), and AUD (90+), I never noticed a change in difficulty. My theory is that if you are fully prepared and know the material well, you won't notice the change in difficulty because you still know the answers. I also had a friend who definitely noticed a change in difficulty on AUD, and she failed. So I don't think you should be pessimistic just because you didn't perceive the change in difficulty.
CPAHopeful - You are correct. My boss is a CPA and she does not have her masters.
You are required to have 150 credits to even sit for the exam in some states, which means you may have to go to grad school to get the cred.
Jeff, I too would like your opinion on if IL will release more than the 78% of FAR scores. Or should we just resign ourselves to waiting for Wave 2? Thanks!
That's true. Basically it all depends on the state, but in GA, you can go to Grad school long enough to get the credit and stop. You do not have to complete the degree.
I am tired guys
come on NY any news?
WA State FAR results came in early this morning. WA is not NASBA state. We receive our results online via Castle Worldwide. As you heard with my great elation, I passed. (!!!) I took my exam on 4/18. My simulations seemed pretty "normal"...meaning there were no weird curveballs or oddities. They were actually pretty easy & I felt that there was no way that either of them were "test" sims. My advice for future FAR takers out there (without giving too much info): 1) Don't skip over anything. They can (& will) ask questions on everything...bonds, pensions, ratios, leases, fair market value, taxes, etc. But you will probably find entire swaths of stuff untested as well...which is a total drag. 2) Don't underestimate non-profit / governmental accounting. It is 20% of the test & I find those questions & material to be relatively easy. Know it. 3) Totally know inside & out the "basic functionality" concepts of financial accounting...that is, the ACCRUAL process. This is heavily heavily tested thing: prepaids, depreciation, A/R, A/P, etc. 4) Do hundreds upon hundreds of practice MCQs...this is key. You will find questions reused over & over again on the exam. I used Becker for this. 5) Maintain positive attitude. No matter what. 6) Don't psyche yourself out the night before/day of exam day. Relax. Have confidence in yourself. The actual exam (although I failed plenty of times) is not as bad as the practice questions you so diligently studied. 7) Find time for yourself. Look at clouds. Listen to music. Drink booze. Have fun. Life is short, so inject some good into it during those dark days of exam-study-time. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY! If I can do it -- & I am crazy -- you can do it! Thanks again Jeff - Keep up the good work!
Does anyone know if Texas releases scores throughout the day? Or is it once per day? Just wondering if I should keep checking or wait until tomorrow. Wasn't sure if TX was different since the scores are on the state website instead of NASBA.
Jeff is out playing golf today. We are on our own for the day.
Anonymous @9:35: I think this has more to do with your prep material rather than your education level. The assignment of testlets is random and has nothing to do with education or experience level. But Becker is all about studying efficiently. They try to predict what will be asked on the exams and only tell you to study those things. If they guess right, you (the candidate) ends up being successful with much less study time invested. However, if they guess wrong - as they apparently did in your case, you (the candidate) are screwed. Obviously you knew the material that Becker focused on, but were tested on different material. The AICPA puts out a 'Content Specification Outline', which is what the questions are written from and includes every area that could be tested. Some prep courses take this outline and expand upon it, teaching you everything that could be covered - this is obviously much less efficient, but potentially infinitely more effective. On a side note, you could lose your license, even before you get it, by discussing test questions. If you are determined to risk that, I highly recommend you don't mention those conversations on the internet.
What is up with Maryland?
cpa_hopeful, thanks for making me feel better!
Amy, I experienced the same thing as you. I scored very well on the Becker review software, yet was thrown so many curve-ball questions/simulations on topics Becker claimed were hardly tested at all. My close friend, on the other hand, said he had questions/simulations on all the items emphacised by the software. I know for a fact he hardly studied, but lucked out on the exam. So my point is, yes- it does seem very unfair, but I'm hoping the AICPA takes the exam difficulty into account when scoring it.
Jeff, please clarify for us, thanks
It seems like WA state FAR results were posted this morning. I took FAR on 4/1 in WA State and I did not receive my score this morning... looks like I'm in Wave 2... so frustrating because this is my last one! ugh!
Any news on REG in NY??
my NY person didnt email me back :-/
On the masters degree requirement debate, you just need 150 hours, it could be from an undergraduate or graduate curriculum. But, honestly, it's kinda dumb not to finish the degree if you're only 3 hours away from it once you've hit the 150 requirement.
I"m waiting for audit in md too.
he is out today?
Big thanks to Joey Altruda! I totally agree with you on "5) Maintain positive attitude. No matter what." I am still waiting for my REG score in CA and this is my third time. The first time I scored 67 using Becker and didn't have time to study Chapter 4,5 and 6. So I felt pretty good about getting 67. Then I took the second time, my goodness the questions were all extremly foreign to me. I told myself just forget it , I was giving up in the test room and I scored 72. I should have earned three more points if I didn't give up. So my advice to all of you never give up when you are taking the test and please try your very best.
"So my point is, yes- it does seem very unfair, but I?m hoping the AICPA takes the exam difficulty into account when scoring it." I'm hoping too!!! :)
Yeah, looks like Jeff abandoned us. I haven't seen a comment from him in the last 3.5 hours that I've been on here.
Jeff is playing golf and will update us via Twitter (there is a feed on the upper right) if he gets an e-mail that anything is posted.
yetsrday somebody said audit NY willbe by Friday
I think we can all learn a lot from Mike Oxbow. Never take life or the CPA too seriously, you'll never get out alive.
The AICPA does take into account the difficulty of individual questions and testlets - that's why pre-test questions exist. But I'm pretty sure they don't consider whether or not Becker covered the material.
But if you joke around in the wrong crowd, you may get hung! :)
Does WI post theor scores differently? I took BEC on 4/20/09 and still have no score. I see people who took FAR after that and have scores? Help! I didn't feel too good about this exam (but then a gain I think I felt the same about AUD and I got a 83, so I'm trying to be hopeful!) and I am trying to plan a wedding and all I can focus on is this dang score!
Anyone Know if FAR is out yet for PA?
how are doing guys?
Has anyone called or heard from MD? any thoughts???
Hoping for AUD tomorrow.
A lot of the publications I read say Wave 1 and Wave 2 are determined by the end of month cut-off and content, yet I have also heard that if I took FAR May 4 I could be in wave 1, any hope? This is the last of the 4 for me through 2 years of trying, if I don't pass I start losing sections I already passed....
I took REG 4/9 and still got nothing....
released usually happened on evening ?( I am talking about to sees core in the system)
A couple people have asked if there is a chance that more than 78% of the FAR scores will come out soon. I don't have time to go searching through to when Jeff said it, but typically, Wave 1 only includes around 75% of the scores, and the rest come out with Wave 2. I got to experience this myself firsthand, I sat for REG on 10/11 with 3 friends, two got their scores in wave 1 and the other 2 of us waited. Then the other person waiting got his in the initial release of Wave 2 and I had to wait for like the last batch. I found out on Christmas Day that I got a 75, so I waited over 12 weeks for that score, thank god it was a good one. So at this point, if you don't have FAR yet, put it in the back of your mind, chances are you are waiting till June. So enjoy the freedom you have to not worry about it because there is nothing more you can do, relax, enjoy the start of summer and then deal with your celebrations of study reboot when the score finally comes. For the rest of us, NASBA only releases once a day, there is no point in giving yourself the heart attack of hitting submit a ton of times during the day, the newest release will most likely go up tonight. I'm waiting on my last two parts, so hopefully if I failed one thats the one I find out about so I can resume studying.. but I could really use the good news too. Good luck to everyone!
Does the 18 month validity period start the day you took the passed exam or when the score is released?
I contacted MD about audit, and I received the generic "it takes 16 weeks" response. They apparently tell everyone who asks them that, so don't freak out and think it will take that long. I then remembered (I don't know how I forgot) that I do have a contact on the MD board, whom I quickly emailed. He said it should be rolling in any day now (he's not directly involved with the score reporting process), and that if it's not in by next week I can email him again and he'll try to see if he can expedite the process.
I swear on everything holy, I typed my section ID and birthdate in yesterday and I had a score (88). Today, when I looked at it again (because I wanted to see that beautiful number again) it wasn't there. Instead it said "score not found." Has this happened to anyone else? I'm concerned. Details below: State: NY Exam: Audit Date of Exam: April 14, 2009 Date of Score: May 20, 2009 Date Score went missing: May 21, 2009
Guys, let take a lunch
Just saw on NC web-site that BEC and AUD was mailed out today, May 21 if anyone interested...
JD, it's possible that the site is being updated. Your score remains 88, don't worry. Many have faced the similar situation !
JD do not warry, you wi;; see this magic number again, it happned to me too
Your 18 months starts the day you take the exam.
Anyone hear that REG was suppose to be out today, do scores usually come out on Fridays. Someone told me that scores only run moday thru thursday. Please clarify if you can or have information on when REG should be coming out.
they send score before they posted?
With regard to the 18 months, I took BEC on October 9 and passed it, and my credit expires 04/30/10. That would mean they started counting as of November 1.
So no REG for me today
Amy in Philly--Are you single? We should hang out sometime...
I was to;d NY audit by Friday, is it possible today afternoon ot tomorrow morning?
Okay. Thank you for calming my nerves, Divya and Kim. :)
yeah you New York ladies, lets hang out...good thinkin Matt haha
As I said before, I received NY Audit from the website yesterday afternoon. Today it is mysteriously gone.
nothing again...
Hang out? What's that? All I know is "study"!!!
Sarah...No FAR for me in Texas either. I don't know if they update throughout the day or not..I'm pretty pissed though at the idea of waiting longer
Adam from NY just for curious, your last name starts from which letter? I am just trying to understand in which order they release scores.
matt got shot down
L
Adam, afternoon, what aproximate time, please
I am h,mmm.........
By teh way did you pass ,man? Hope you did
I checked it multiple times because I am waiting for REG and I liked looking at the score. Between 2pm and midnight.
yes, thank you
Perhaps we can be study buddies?
Where is Reg????????????? Someone anyone?
they must be having system issues
AUDIT AUDIT AUDIT
I say we all simultaneously call NASBA so they realize that they need to speed things up.
Has anyone received REG?
Wow.....I think being on this board makes you a little more crazy about checking the score....I normally didn't really stress it until I started checking this place out....
Where is the NASBA headquarters? We should make signs and have a rally.
Has anyone taken BEC in the first wave (April1-MAy8) and not recieve a score. I took BEC on May 8th and have not recieved a score. I thought IL state board said that 100% of the BEC grades have been recieved?
Adam , did u receive audit score you have taken this window? I have not
NASBA is in Nashville, TN.
Here's the email I received today regarding to CA score releasing: The first wave of scores just started to be released last Friday, May 15, 2009. NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) releases scores as they receive them from AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) in no specific order. As of right now, no scores are late. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the Exam Unit at 916-263-3677 or examinfo@cba.ca.gov.
I took NY-aud early April and still waiting. Does this mean that we scored between a 71 and 79? Is there anyone out there who received a score in this range? Just trying to understand why i have to wait 7 weeks for a score but will only have to wait 3 on reg when i take it on Wed.
Basically we still have REG and FAR out there for Wave 1. Face it, if you are in a NASBA state and don't have your AUD or BEC score, you are in wave 2. I am hearing that FAR will be out late tonight, is this true?
who alsr receive score in NY
sophia i took BEC on the 8th and i got my scores on the 14th itself so you should call up the board co-ordinator and ask him/her. good luck with your score. does anyone have a clue when do they officially send us the scores? and how do they send us the scores? by mail or post?
their system is so bad, whu they can not post a schedule saying who and when receive score in such order

Error: Score not found. Please verify Section ID Number and Date of Birth format and re-submit.
Did anyone get there reg results in PA. I took the test 04/01 and it still says score not found. Does anyone know when the score will be released
Thanks Big Jake, didn't realize that you worked for NASBA with your insight of the fact that we are in Wave 2 if we havent received our Audit score yet. The Illinois Board is reporting that they expect to get 75-85% of the scores for Aud, Reg, and Far, and they only have 63% so far. That would appear to me that we still have a chance of getting our scores this wave as they are releasing in batches. But I guess you know more than the Illinois board. Thanks again.
I heard FAR would be released tonight as well. I am hoping that is right. Stressing is not good for my health. Waiting in FL, at least the rain has stopped (for now).
Not a problem OH-AUD. Audit is the easy section...if you can't pass that you should consider a different career path all together. I am just saying, you are not in the initial Batch of Wave 1 there stud. Don't even start with Big Jake.
Big Jake, I think you are in the wrong place to be throwing out statements like that. There are plenty of people on this website who have struggled through Audit. Pretty sad that you have to refer to yourself as "Big Jake"....what a man you are
Reg here in PA and I got nothing. Whats the scoop?
any audit score
Well I could put the name your mom calls me OH-Jake...!! Audit is easiest of all the sections and others on here will agree with me.
@CA-REG: does that mean that we got new stimulations in REG that require additional time? but i had a bad experience last year with my AUD score and it was something wrong btwn NASBA and AICPA - i took the exam in april and i didn't got my score until july. so i hope this is not the case...
I agree with Big Jake...Audit is probably the easiest of the 4 and if you can't pass that, you got problems...
I wanna see how Big Lake pass other section, trying to be smarter than the rest of peope here.
Haha...nice one Big Jake. OH-AUD is annoying!!
Was that a mom joke?
Big Jake is right....one shouldn't mess with Big Jake.
How am I annoying? I am just anxious to get my Audit score like anyone else. I cant comment on the easiness of Audit because I havent received my score yet. While I thought it was easy, obviously that doesnt always mean you passed. I have also already passed Reg and Bec, both on the first try.
Sounds like it was. Hey me(AUD-NY), Your mom is so big, we have to put her down as a change in accounting ESTIMATE because it is impractical to determine her size!!
I don't condone internet bickering but I must Agree audit was the easiest of them all. Here is my order in easiest to most difficult. AUD, FAR, BEC, REG. I passed all on the first try except for Reg...I am waiting on my second try results. I hope everyone here passed.....
Wait, was that an accounting-mon joke...good god release the grades already!!!
PA Reg, I haven't heard about anybody, even the non-NASBA states, getting their REG scores yet.
yea, no news on the REG scores either.
Has anyone heard FAR yet? I really hope I made wave 1
Hey me(AUD-NY), Your mom is so fat that she has a depreciation method for each of her legs. Your mom is so poor, she gets the Earned Income Credit. Your mom eats so much she has a depletion accountant at the refrigerator door. I agree...release the scores...lol.
Michelle, I'm not sure about new sims, but knock on wood, we'll get our score soon, hopefully no later than next week. I can't concentrate on studying for another section until I find out my REG score.
KUSH NJ or anyone!!!!! How do I get in touch with board coordinator in pa?
were you waiting for this topic to come up? creative- yet a little scary how you were waiting with them! RELEASE THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Just got this. I e-mailed the AICPA directly just in case... "CPA Examination Services, Nashville, TN, is responsible for delivering the Georgia CPA Examination. All questions, concerns, etc., should be directed to the attention of Letitica Pinkney, Georgia Coordinator, at lpinkney@nasba.org. Some FAR and AUD scores were released yesterday. You may contact Ms. Pinkney at the e-mail address listed above for your specifics."
different people find different sections difficult. not ALL of us do audit for a living, so audit isnt necessarily the easiest one. stop being so closeminded
I swore off this site after i jumped out of bed at 5am this morning and no NASBA scores for CT this AM... but i'm so glad i came back to witness these past few hilarious posts.... someone said before....you have to have a sense of humor or you'll just lose your mind!!!!! I'm (still!)waiting for FAR in CT and its my (hopefully!)last time going through this... for now i'm going to the bar!!
IN FAR says: May 21, 2009 at 12:04 pm "Has anyone heard FAR yet? I really hope I made wave 1" Nopes, no news on FAR score release by non-NASBA states. Hoping to receive it tonight. Good Luck !
Jeff, Any word on FAR from NASBA?
Regardless of which one is the easiest or hardest, did we forget what this site is for....SUPPORT. SO lets not through comments out there like "if you can't pass AUD, you should pick a different career". Come on now!
I hope Jeff gets a hole in one even though he left us with several aholes on this site.
Jeffs on the 14th green right now....hes 3 under on the day, its all in the hips YEAH
I know Jeff and there is no way he is three under after 13 holes, HA!
I meant throw...not through...I'm sure I'm going to hear about that one!
PA coordinator can be reached from the contact us tab on nasba. Not very informative though.
I don't know if I can take the wait much longer. Each hour that goes by I lose more and more confidence.
All kidding aside, remember I emailed candidate care this morning? just got a response 'There is no problem. It should be available online shortly.' Thats for AUDIT in NEW YORK
PA coordinator email = nbuchanan@nasba.org
me(AUD-NY)- I hope that is true for all NASBA states!!!
Yes, I was in that 850 score release...good luck to you all..and feel free to call me by my nickname..were all friends here...just call me 'me'
FAR scores for Delaware were mailed yday...Delaware coordinator (mshin@nasba.org)

Anyone from NH receive their REG marks? mail or on nasba??
There is no number 4, they just want us to think that there is
Whats a NASBA and Non NASBA state? What's the difference, and why do some states get there's earlier than others?
Anyone hear from FL yet regarding FAR????
FL is a NASBA state it means we get our scores directly from them. I am also waiting for FAR. No word yet, and i took it on 4/11.
Basically, some states scores are received by NASBA from the AICPA and then NASBA releases scores to the candidates. Other states however do not use NASBA and instead receive and release the scores themselves. These non-NASBA states normally release their scores before the NASBA states do.
which is why we are stuck here waiting in the dark. very frustraiting.
Has anyone received their Audit scores in Georgia?
incredibly frustrating.
I'd like to know the rationale as to why there are NASBA and non-NASBA states in the first place. I would think score releases would be more efficient if all were the same.
Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 12:46 pm Whats a NASBA and Non NASBA state? What?s the difference, and why do some states get there?s earlier than others? Anonymous, The difference is if you are a NASBA state you get your scores online at NASBA. If you are not, you get your scores from the state which can be from a variety of ways from online (state website), calling or normal mail. From reading this blog I get the impression that non NASBA states get their scores earlier because NASBA has to coordinate with the states prior to release. This is only an educated guess since this is my first exam and I am still waiting on AUD and basically if I am not in the 850 release, I will probably be in wave 2 even though I took the exam on 4/21. Hope this helps.
I cant believe we are all still here since Monday hahahaha, last week actually
yes i think i started reading then. it is very addicting. but i think after i receive my score i wont be on until after the next test. but wait no, after i take REG i am going on vacation to VEGAS baby!
Marie, when are we leaving? I can be packed in an hour
This is craaaaazy. Where are the scores?
.... it has been for while since I start longing for my scores (AUD & REG) but now I start question myself if I really took the exams. :(
Has anyone heard anything from anyone about REG in NY
I think once you get your score you should donate somethibng, even $20, to Jeff. it will all add-up. Where would we be without this? I know I will be doing it.
I actually have a conference for work in Tampa the first week of June and Vegas is planned for the second week. Staying at the Mandalay Bay. Totally excited, it will be my first trip to Vegas.
I don't think any REG scores have been released yet, regardless of the state.
Amy in Philadelphia says: May 21, 2009 at 1:00 pm I?d like to know the rationale as to why there are NASBA and non-NASBA states in the first place. I would think score releases would be more efficient if all were the same. Amy, I think NASBA can provide the answer to it ! Agreed, that if score releases are made uniform like they have made the testing uniform, it would be the same waiting time for all the candidates, atleast !
For the 2nd wave in a row, the AICPA is simply sitting on the REG scores. It is absolutely ridiculous !
OH-AUD and BIG JAKE you guys are rude for indicating that audit is the easiest. You guys are some big headed people!
At least no Reg scores yet so I don't feel left out.... PS VEGAS IS 0utta Control.
Waiting for REG in FL still. I agree with Marie that I'm glad the rain has stopped here!
I too said Audit was the Easiest FOR ME. I am not trying to be rude just telling my experience. Some might say BEC was the easiest but for me it was one of the hardest....
I guess those NASBA workers must having fun reading this blog by thinking: "mentally torturing these crazy people are fun, let's hold the scores for another week or two..."
If REG scores aren't released today, us NASBA states will get screwed through Memorial Day Weekend.
Hey, I just got an email from NASBA saying the AICPA still had not given them REG scores.
were are you FLGRL? I am in Gainesville. it has rained non stop for the last 4 days. finally a break. but i am sure it wont last.
Anyone with NASBA state got their score for FAR?
That sucks! It is now 3:18 Eastern. NASBA in Nashville will close in less than 2 hours.
can't believe there's a 1 week+ spread between BEC and REG score release...
Sunshine in CA, but it feels like rainy day... still no score...
Each person has their own level of understanding a particular section. It could be easy for some, tough for others ! So, is AUD easiest or toughest is a non-debatable topic :) Be it it AUD or any other subject, hope that we all clear the exams, that's the main goal !
anyscores today?
Has anyone received a REG score in NY yet? I'm wondering if I was put in the "bucket" of lower scores, or if everyone else is still waiting too!
FLGRL - I dont think OH-AUD said that he thought audit was the easiest. I believe he said that there were many people on this forum that have struggled with audit that would disagree.......But anyway,I agree that Big Jake should not have said that.
Yep, no excuse for this horse crap service
I think the reason a lot of people find Audit the easiest is that it's more memorization of facts rather than calculation heavy. It was definitely my easiest part, partially because I'm pretty good at memorizing facts and partially because I really like the material (go figure, I used to be an auditor and HATED the work!). But all is subjective. I agree with Steve, so many people say BEC is the easiest and I thought it was a beast.
BEC was a beast for me too.
Good to join the forum,Wrote Auditing and BEC 4/1 and 4/8 respectively ,have not checked the results yet (Colorado),am writting FAR 5/30 ,after which will check results ,dont want to put myself under pressure with the results but otherwise i am enjoying the final moments and the contributions each and one of you guys make.
So our best case scenario now is for REG to go out today; CA, IL, and VA candidates get their scores tomorrow morning(ish) and us NASBA folks hope we get them Friday night at 9 central ?
I was told I will receive score audit NY by Friday, what does it mean, I keep cheking and get nothing
Whoops I just noticed an earlier post from Lance answering my question :)
Anybody from Ny receive ANY SCORes?
Melissa they said sometime tonight or early tmrow
Melissa, I have been waiting on AUD. I believe for the most part NASBA only updates in the evening. It is unlikely you will be able to see your score until sometime this evening or early tomorrow. I feel your pain in the wait.
Just got this from IL... "We have not received any REG scores and have not heard when we will be receiving any. Please watch our web site at www.ilboa.org for any score up-dates and check your online account. Unfortunately, that is the only answer I have right now."
Marie, I'm in Jacksonville. It has finally stopped raining here too. I can finally go for a run now...I need to burn some of this frustration off for waiting for my score!
soooo if i took the test may 13th i should hear about june 15th?
Oh i had to get a treadmill to burn off my stress. i cant run outside in the 90 degree heat. the waiting is terrible. Well i am off to a meeting. see you guys tomorrow. good luck and hopefully we will get some scores tonight.
me(AUD-NY) I have emailed several times to NASBA over the last 2+ days and have not got a single response back. If I knew if NASBA had my score or not would be nice. I just want to know one way or the other.
bec_may13th says: May 21, 2009 at 1:39 pm soooo if i took the test may 13th i should hear about june 15th? bec_may13th, b/w June 15th and June 30th, more probably
thanks Divya.
My best bet is for the people that are waiting for REG, we won't receive them till Monday. according to NASBA the AICPA haven't release them yet, so if they release them tomorrow, NASBA would need at least a day to do whatever they're suppose to do, then upload them.
Monday is a holiday "Memorial day". SO, would they be working on that day also? I am uncertain !
Anybody contact the Texas State Board regarding the release of FAR? I could not get a straight answer from them....thanks for any help!
ANY RELASE TODAY??
Texas FAR, the FAR scores for TX are out... Some have received their scores today morning. saw few posts regarding it on cpanet and here also...
candidatecare@nasba.org is who to email
Many seem to be confused on the process of score releases. Here is a brief overview: AICPA does all the test administration (through Prometric) and all the grading. The only identifying information the AICPA has is your Section ID. Once scoring is completed it is sent to NASBA who then has to match all Section IDs with individuals. Next NASBA releases these to the individual's states (who are in charge of the licensing). At this stage some states take the responsibility of notifying candidates themselves (Non-Nasba states). NASBA states must approve scores and send them back to NASBA who then releases them. The lag comes from the turn around between the state sending approval back to NASBA. Hope this helps...
Looks like CA is so broke that they can't even afford to pay someone to update the board website with our scores anymore! I should probably go ahead and call the Governator himself to get the job done and hopefully get my REG score at last ;)
My AUD score went away... whats goin on with that
Thanks Divya for the response. I wonder if they will release more of the FAR or if thats it...I did not get mine as of right now and pretty disappointed at the fact I'll probably have to wait another month.
memorial dayis coming so w no gona get grades
Why is the need for the State Approval for the results? I am suspecting something. What is there to approving? Bump some people up or down?
It is possible that they release scores on Monday. I got my Reg score on Christmas.
"Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 1:53 pm Why is the need for the State Approval for the results?" I'd like for the AICPA & the state boards to explain that one. If some states don't have to go through the approval process, then why do any states have to? Or conversely, if some states require approval, why don't they all? I better not think too much about it, it's already giving me a headache!
AICPA did not release any scores yesterday (FIN was released late Tuesday night), so I have to believe AICPA will release REG today; but I have no idea if NASBA can have them posted by tomorrow night. Hell, the state boards may sit on them. They probably don't do crap on Fridays. I bet we're gonna get screwed. I still blame AICPA though because they should have released REG yesterday.
I do not know what to do
They charges so much money for each exam that would speed up the process
I don't either. But I can't let myself click and cry all weekend on this website. Hell, I guess I better travel somewhere or something. After Friday night, I have to stop this.
Texas FAR - I can't get a straight answer out the Texas board about FAR either. Post if you find anything out, hoping there are more to be released. Really don't want to wait another month!
what time they ussually release score, I am in NY
9 pm
I HATE BEC!!
anybody anything?
I Hate BEc big time also, so broad
Still no CA REG. Anyone get their REG yet?
I amusing becker and Wiley for BEc
The "non-nasba" states receive grades from nasba?
No FAR in NM yet.
sat for FAR on April 10. Got my score on May 20.
No FAR in the non-nasba state of WV. Sat for it 4/13.
What state are you in Ace?
Any comment on Gleim test prep cd-rom? I plan to buy it to supplement Wiley. Anybody finds it helpful? Thanks!
Response from NASBA rep for PA: "Scores come in to us in the evening and candidates can view them after 7:00 CST." Not very specific, but sounds like we're wasting our time looking for scores from NASBA throughout the day.
@Georgia...some audit scores in GA went up Tuesday night.
I use the Gleim Test Prep CD and like it very much!
I only used the Wiley books and found them very informational. But, as such, I may have performed much better if I had used other material, but you don't need it to pass. I think it also depends on your preferred method of study. I preferred to just have a book to read and focus on that alone, but I'm sure others are different. But just having Wiley is sufficient in my opinion, I think after that, you could go with any review course and be fine.
Did anybody receive score????
Jeff has said earlier that he bet that FAR would come out on NASBA tonight. I hope to GOD he is right...otherwise we might not see these scores til after Memorial Day.
Thanks Amy & Mindy, I don't read Wiley's book, I just use their CD for MCQs. I don't like practice MCQs from a book, I like practice in a computer...
I've made it through three on the fisrt try using Gleim test prep CD ROM. Hopefully four if my REG would ever come in. Gleim is great.
No FAR for NJ yet. UUGHHHHHH. I took it 4/6 so feel like I've been waiting forever.
If FAR was released late Tuesday night but won't be available on NASBA until tonight, then us REG people have almost 0 chance of getting REG Friday night. My question is this: If REG is released tonight, what freaking night would us NASBA people get it, Saturday night ? I doubt that. So then would it be Monday night? I doubt that too. What a crying shame this is ! They have screwed us once again.
FL is still waiting for FAR as well. Yuck! I am hoping Jeff is right that it will come out tonight.
I wonder when Jeff will be done playing golf ? I want to ask him to ask his NASBA source if they will do a Saturday night upload.
I sat for FAR on 4/3 still waiting for score from DE. As of this second, my audit score disappeared too. It really sucks.
You can send Jeff an email and he will respond.
I hope it's because NASBA is uplaoding new batches.
I sat for REG on 4/3... was hoping scores would be out by now in CA. I sat for REG april '08 too... received my 72 Sunday morning of memorial day weekend. Hoping that doesn't happen again this year (score release on sunday and/or failing).
from Jeff on twitter :- "Yes...NASBA does Sat night uploads...I asked already..."
it is look like the systaem is updated
I just want to have a good reason to drink this holiday weekend! either celebrating or crying....the suspense just seems waaaayyy too long this time around!
Found out I passed BEC with 86 via mail today!! Two down, two to go...
Those who are still waiting for Auditing result from CA,IL ( other Non NASBA states).Do you know any reason for that ? By the how many of you comes under this list ? My state board told me to wait till second wave 2 which is in june.
Stephen - does your score for BEC show online as well as did you just get the score by mail. I ask b/c I'm wondering if we'll get our score by mail before it posts online.
C Man...my test runs through TN and due to a glitch in their system with candidates taking the test with a "Proof of Enrollment" as opposed to having completed 150 hours, my score was not presented online. Other people I know that took through TN and had 150 hours, had their scores last weekend.
audit has been released?
Has anyone waiting in GA received FAR?
From what I understand, GA and LA will get their FAR scores tonight between 9 and 12. That comes from the coordinator that handles both states (Pinkney).
I got this response from NASBA-TN: Your TN FAR score should be revealed online tomorrow. Also, your hard copy result of FAR will be mailed out to you tomorrow. Does anyone think I can view it on nasba.org tonight although they say tomorrow?
That goes against what Jeff's NASBA source told him, but as crazy as this has all been, all I can say is elephino.
i still haven't received my reg score in CA. *SAD* yes, the suspense is killing me =(
Thanks, Fartknocker! I will keep my fingers crossed for us all to receive tonight.
Is NASBA ever going to post FAR for NY????????????????????????????
Fart knocker: If LA and GA are supposed to get FAR tonight, what are the odds of us seeing REG before the weekend? Any guess?
Michelle, if you don't have yours tomorrow by noon, I'm going on vacation and not looking at this anymore. For CA and IL to not have REG yet is an absolute travesty, and it is especially horrible for us NASBA people who will be 2 days behind regardless.
"fabulous (REG-CA) says: May 21, 2009 at 3:36 pm I just want to have a good reason to drink this holiday weekend! either celebrating or crying?.the suspense just seems waaaayyy too long this time around!" hahaha...I said pretty much the same thing. Regardless of my result, my reaction will bee the same, tears & booze! Brian, thanks for the PA update, hopefully we will see something late tonight!
That is what worries me, lacpawannabe. I felt that for us to get REG by Friday night, the scores would have to be released by AICPA on Wednesday night. I wanted to be partying at Tin Lizzy or somewhere on Friday night, but I don't think that will happen now. Could we get our scores on Saturday night? I just don't feel good about it.
I agree. I wanted to go to the lake this weekend, drink heavily, and forget about the failing score I'm going to see. Looks like I'll just have to look at the F hungover. Are you in GA or LA?
For us to get our scores on Saturday night, wouldn't the NASBA people have to work on Saturday? Otherwise, why wouldn't they have just processed all of them on Friday. Pinkney told me that they do not work on weekends. I don't know what the hell to think anymore.
I am in Baton Rouge.
Me either. I'm as lost as a goose. I'm just going to enjoy this martini tonight and forget about REG scores and the CPA (Can't pass anyway) exam. I think I've worn out the refresh button on my computer. Good Luck to you!
I'm in Many just west of Natchitoches.
Thank you. Good luck to you too. I have definitely heard of Many, very pretty around there, huh? We'll have to keep talking on this site and maybe even flirt a little. I've been told that I'm about a 6 or 7 on a scale from 1 to 10 but could easily move to an 8 if I dropped 15 to 20 pounds and/or become ripped.
Does anybody have some advise for the audit exam? Specifically, is there any strategy that is helpful when picking the answers? I can usually narrow the answers down to just two, but I always fall for their tricks.
I had the same problem with Audit multiple choice. I failed 3 times ( 74, 74, and 74). The 4th time, I spent lots of time doing the Becker SUPPLEMENTAL multiple choice questions, as well as the multiple choice from Becker Final Exams. I even began writing the most tricky ones down. I finally passed with a 76.
I had the same bad luck with REG (74, 74) and waiting on what I hope to be 75 or better....if they would EVER release the scores. Any idea if we might see REG scores in VA tomorrow?
Waiting for AUD in OH...still sat 4/15. No idea what the hold up is. The fees keep increasing but the service still sucks.
Is there anyone who got Aud score in WA? god, I'm sick of waiting for the result of AUD test
Fart knocker: I'm glad I'm not the only LA candidate on the planet. I was starting to think that I was all alone here. Are you an LSU grad? I graduated from NSU in Natchitoches and I'm starting to doubt my professor's abilities. HA HA I just hope I can finish all of this before hurricane season. I don't want another Rita or Ike screwing things up.
You would think that the people at the AICPA who grade exams and release scores are themselves CPA's. Of all people, shouldn't they understand the anguish we go through waiting for our scores to be released? I can understand NASBA employees not knowing. They are probably just adminstrative staff who release the scores and truly have no grasp of what we go through, but the AICPA???? They should know better. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to continue to let them wreak havoc on our mind, body, soul and test performance. If you have a test scheduled around release time, you know what I mean. It is impossible to concentrate on the current exam when you are checking for release updates every 5 minutes. Sorry to ramble, just so tired of waiting for REG release. I wish I could make myself stop thinking about it, but I can't. It is all consuming. My husband just asked me if I was depressed and I told him yes. After all that hard work and time from my family, I need to know if it paid off.
Has anyone heard when they will relase audit scores in Georgia? Will they relase them tonight when they release far?
I am tired of waiting for my REG score. I have my BEC exam tomm and cant concentrate for a single minute.
Phyllis, I totally agreed with you. The point is, because AICPA people been through all these waiting, frustrationtion, etc. and enjoy seeing us go through the same thing... I feel sorry for my husband and kids that I'm so emotional during this period and they are ones that suffer...
@Fart Knocker - if i don't see the score by the time i leave work for the long weekend tomorrow, i'll just act like as if i've passed the exam and have tons of fun :) cuz i'm so tired with this waiting process...ah!
Still no score...took the test 4/6. This is ridiculous.
Anybody know anything about FAR in SC?
Took REG on 4/3
I'm in BR too, Fart Knocker. Waiting on FAR. I took it on May 1. Hopefully, i'll get my score in this wave.
Took REG on 4/4
I know that if I don't get my score yet after first wave, i will have to wait till June. does that mean that my score is in the range between 70 and 75?
Is it possible for me to get more than 75 when i get the result on June?
I received my audit score for AUD Monday evening around 8:05.
OOPS sorry I meant to add in that I took AUD in GA and received the score Monday at 8:05
Joe, plenty of people are held to the 2nd wave and score in the 90s. I can understand you being anxious, but often scores are held due to, for example, a new simulation the examiners are trying out & they want to see how others do before granting a score.
Does anyone know, does NASBA release on Friday evenings? Just wondering if we can hope for REG tomorrow night or if the earliest is Sunday evening?
*Amy It is not necessary for me to believe that my score is near passing score?
Joe, anything is certainly possible, but a score being held to another wave is no reason to immediately assume the worst. Are you waiting on AUD? I have a feeling an awful lot of them are being held not due to borderline scores, but due to an odd simulation that many seem to have gotten.
Regarding taking Audit. You say you always fall for their tricks. That's their point. What you must do is approach a question assuming there's a trick there. If you can't find one, maybe there isn't, but you should go with the assumption there is, and try to figure out what the trick is.
Joe, I am in the same boat with you. Took AUD on April 7 and scores have not yet been posted. I am in IL. You? I got a 73 on BEC - took in last window of 2008. So I am inclined to believe they are holding my score for AUD as maybe it was close. Good Luck to you!
GA AUD folks- I even received my letter from NASBA today with my score...
It's 7:00 PM CST..... The countdown may have begun. Let's hope the waiting time ends. Good Luck to all !
AUD 60, 81 BEC 83 FAR 80 REG 62, 72, ??!!
*Amy Thank you for responding to my question Since Aud is my last test, I guess that I will start preparing for Aud soon in case that I need to retake on July. Hopefully, I will get the good result on June.
i keep asking my mom if shes sure i was born on the day im entering hahaha...IF YOU GET A GRADE SAY STATE AND TEST
"GA AUD folks- I even received my letter from NASBA today with my score" Me too.
Does anyone think I can pass BEC this window on 5/31. I am half way thru the lecture. I took the next week off to study but I do feel there is alot of material. Should I reshedule, or put in the 12 hrs a day for the next week and take the exam? Please leave your advice? I am not usually a slacker but work has been killing me lately and I really dont know too much about these exams.
CRAP CRAP CRAP. Still no FAR.
no audit in NY, I just checked
Give it a try. I just studied for a few days before and passed.
Still no NASBA REG score...
Beatles4Eve I took Aud on Apr 23rd in WA which is my last test. now I'm waiting for the result. I really hope that I will get the score this week. otherwise, i gonna have to wait till the end of June. According to what Amy in Philadelphia said, it is unnecessary for my socre to fall into boardline score but that could be the reason. It really drives me crazy. i hate myself checkin my score every time hoping that i pass. Good luck to you too. we will get the good socre on June!
No AUD in NY for me either.......
BEC is passable. keep on the questions. if i can pass it so can you. I guess the real question on pushing it off is are you close to losing credit? If yes study hard and take it 5-31 if not better to pay about 30 to reschedule instead of another 200?
How are you supposed to focus on the next test when you have to check for your score every 5 minutes? Maybe they should make the window 2 years instead of 18 months. That way you have time to check for your score! Waiting for reg is killing me!
jp CA - I totally agree with you...I have REG coming up next week and I can't focus as much as I would like to because I'm checking for my grade all day long.
share with us anybody git their scores tonight?
I wonder if there is anyone who took any test in the first wave and got a good score after the second wave?
I think we are a few min early it was 850ish on tues so i will be check then
I will post when I get my FAR score. Studying AUD now. BEC 78 REG 68, 73 FAR 72, ?(felt good walking out of the exam) AUD (1st attempt May 26)
KF - which grade are you waiting for? I have BEC next Thursday and I can't focus on anything. I'm not even sure I will get me score for reg since I took it 5/7.
me either , nothing tonight
Anonymous @ 2:36P... I used the Gleim texts, CD-prep and their online simulations. I think that they're great! The materials do relate to what we need to know for the exam.
guys , you think score will released after 9PM NY time?
Fart Knocker is back in the house. Yes, I did graduate from LSU back in 1998 and then again with a Masters in Accounting in 2007. I am glad to see my fellow Louisianians here too. I need REG to be done. I made a 74, then another 74, and even got a 3rd 74 last wave. lacpawannabe, don't give up. This was my 14th sitting in 12 months. I got through it by being as silly as I could possibly be for a 33-year old and also by drinking red wine after I finished studying each night. I sleep like a baby. To the fellow Baton Rouge hopeful, my friend is also waiting for FAR. We are hoping he will get it tonight.
From Lake Charles here.....
Anyone heard on FAR in NY Yet? I took the exam 4/27 and still waiting. Studying for Audit now and taking it 5/30 but I can't concentrate........
I know you all are waiting for score information, but for anyone using Becker that has taking the final exams, why does it mark things wrong when you get them right?!?! For the simulations, what I assume to be an incorrect answer comes up in yellow, yet the solution has the same number I entered. This happens on the MCQ too sometimes. Does anyone have this same experience?!?!
I just checked nooooooooooooooooooo result
same here...waiting on FAR and studying for AUD on may 26
I didn't receive my score for Aud in NY
still waiting or audit in upstate ny
Do wanna be CPA's like Obama?
Just got my score in TN 73. Got to start studying again.
Score for Audit? Reg? Far?
Jonathan says: May 21, 2009 at 6:52 pm Just got my score in TN 73. Got to start studying again. Is that for auditing?
Jeff, after you're finished on the 19th hole, any chance you can update your "Revised NASBA release prediction" section above? Cheers.
NASBA FAR IS OUT
NASBA FAR IS OUT NASBA FAR IS OUT NASBA FAR IS OUT NASBA FAR IS OUT NASBA FAR IS OUT GOT AN 83!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED Reg. My life is on standstill.
anybody from NY check ur scores
yes 75 is minimum pass!
So NASBA has saved REG for last?
74. that was the worst thing I could have seen right now. REG on the 30th and it would have been my last one.
Melissa...was this your first time sitting for FAR? I got a 72 the first time I sat.
I just got my AUD score!! I passed!! My first one...so EXCITED!!! 3 more to go...i keep looking at the score to make sure its real!!
Melissa, keep smiling and keep trying. If it were simple, everyone would do it and then the value of the CPA would diminish. Not many people pass any, let alone all sections, on their first try - so keep at it and the second time studying will be much easier and less strenous!! Good luck!
Just got FAR score on NASBA - MA
far released in michigan - 89 woo!!! good luck everyone!
so scores are now updated around 8 pm central I'm so PUMPED!!!!!!!!!
Just got my FAR in maine. 89. it was posted at 9pm EST.
no update for AUD in Delaware for me
Any luck for those waiting on FAR in FL??? I just checked...no score :(
What are the chances NASBA will update more scores tonight?
Anyone get FAR in NY?? I want to know if I'm Wave 2 or not. To everyone who's posted a score/waiting please please PLEASE say section and state to help cut down on repititive questions!
Son of a .... no score in PA... ugh. make it end

I just got my Audit score in ME. It was the 2nd try(49->78). I feel soo lucky. Good luck to everyone!
Waiting for FAR in PA
Still waiting on FAR is CO (nasba state)
OMG!!! I passed AUD finally!!! I was so depressed last time after I received 74. People who just received 74, don't be so discouraged. You will pass eventually with another try!!! YAY I'm done. :)
i took AUD NY on 4/11 and still no score posted...
I just saw my reg score posted but it's the same failing score as the first time I took the test. I'm wondering if reg has actually been released in ny. Anyone in ny get their reg score tonite?
sorry, Melissa
No AUD for me yet. I sat for it on 4/1 and it looks like i'm in the 2nd Wave.
No score for me in NM :(
GD I just got my audit score back, was hoping to be done (passed three) and I got a 73. Its the only one I felt confident leaving too. Wtf
REG NY, its probably your old score. I haven't seen any posting yet of ANYBODY who has received a REG score yet...
Just received FAR in GA (NASBA state). BEC: 90 (taken 1/12/09) REG: 87 (taken 2/27/09) AUD: 95 (taken 4/03/09) FAR: 97 (taken 4/30/09) while attending Grad School full-time and working part-time. It can be done! Done!!!! I cannot recommend GLEIM strongly enough.
84 on FAR in PA!!!!!!!!! OMG I am DONE!!!!!!
FAR in FL is finally out! I passed! Thank god!
hopeful_CPA.... what went wrong with BEC? lol. Congrats.
and REG...!! :)
I am in PA, and I sat on 5/7 and got my score. I was one of the unlucky 74's. This was my third time on FAR. 69, 67, 74. The 1st and 3rd times I took it I walked out in tears, which ws this time. The second time I walked out and told everyone I passed, and got the worst score!
Bito.. did you just get a reg score?????????????
Man Im bummed, my scores werent showing up earlier today so I thought they were updating my audit score in Delaware. Still nothing. In all honestly, I think I would rather know that I failed then have to wait another month for my score.
I passed FAR in TN! Good luck everyone!
FAR 85 in Missouri, thanks for keeping this site Jeff!
and... still no far in PA
any luck
No score for me AUD in NY yet. I took it in early April.
how many 1st wave still waiting on audit?
Finally PASSED in Ohio! 90 up from a 73 the last time. Keep with it everyone! Good luck!
I think I am giving up on stalking my nonexistent REG score for the night...
No, i was referring to hopeful_cpa's comment above. REG doesnt seem to be out anywhere...... damn frustrating if you ask me.
Score is out for FAR - NY
So I took FAR in CA on April 21st. What do you think? Second wave?
jp CA - I'm waiting for AUD
OH my goshhhhhhhhhh.. how in the world did this happen .. i swear i thought i failed... i actuay passed... i passseddd!!!! PEOPLE its so doable.... 83!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CR FAR, I am waiting for my FAR score in Illinois (took on 4/1). I feel like I did ok, but I think I'm in the second wave and its driving me nuts. AUD 93 REG 88 BEC 81 FAR ???
I promise, if i can pass so can you. Good luck everyone! i promise Becker works. Yeah for getting FAR for the weekend. On to study for REG!
Congrats Izabella! The vigil is still on for us Reg takers ;-)
Jeff, I PASSED FAR with an 81. Thanks so much for hosting this great site. For all of the insanity I just experienced, this site kept me sane. I am now done with all parts. YAHOO!!!
Do all FAR scores post at the same time? or could there be more coming tonight?
Ray, what state are you in?
Teague719 thank you so much.... Do not stress it .. You probably did perfect.. If anything you can always take it again!!! Good luck and keep me posted
Question: For those that passed. When you hit the submit button, where was your mouse arrow located on the submit button? Right, Left, On the word submit, Above the word submit, Below the word submit, etc
Still waiting on AUD here in IL - took exam 4/7 - congrats to all those who passed! Never give up, to everyone else!
I'm still waiting for audit in SC (NASBA state)taken on May 2nd. I'm pretty sure I'll be waiting another month for my score. Just crossing my fingers its worth the wait! Once I pass I'm taking my CPA bonus and going to a beautiful 5 star restaurant...i can almost taste it now!
me too 74
PA waiting on FAR
Still no FAR in NM (NASBA state). Crossing fingers for a release tonight...
73 on Aud. I don't even know how this happened. I was so sure of myself when I left the exam. I told myself that I was 90% sure I passed. I guess that is what happens when you take it during busy season and you are working 70 hrs a week. Is it even worth it to appeal? I almost positive the content in my written sections would take it over the top if they actually read it and didn't just look at grammar?
I'm not even going to get a raise for this. My company is in the toliet.
I took FAR in GA on 4/1 and no score as of now. I hope I don't have to wait another month. Is there a chance it may still post tonight? I read that someone has received a FAR score in GA already tonight.
Still no AUD for me in NY
I got 3 74s on Audit and appealed the last. No change. I have never heard of it getting over turned.
Any intel whether AICPA released REG results today-that way we'd know whether to stay up till the wee hours or call it a day and stalk this site again tomorrow?
I'm not sure of the validity of this, but I read earlier this evening that of all the rescore requests in 2008, not one single score was changed. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
its such a bummer. I was working till 12pm and then trying to study for an hour each night. I guess that wasn't worth it. I hate to admit I'm a damn auditor. How long does the appeal process take?
YAY... FAR 77! Took it April 10th and was VERY worried, but YAY!!! This was the 2nd attempt for me, 70 on the first try... Took AUD 5/6 and still waiting, but it will be (hopefully) my last one! REG 10/11 75 BEC 11/26 76 FAR 4/10 77 (last July 70 first try) AUD 5/6 fingers crossed! (last Aug 50s but I barely studied and moved in between exams)... Good luck to everyone still waiting!
I heard that somewhere too Beatles!
Regarding the Rescores that was actually posted as a story on this site. Thats the answer the AICPA gave Jeff
YAHOOOOO WHAT A relief...much needed.....long waited FAR is out and I passed it............Yahoo..godd luck for rest of you
91 on FAR in MA. O'Doyle Rules.
Izabella, same here.......congrats !!! lets go party....
"I know you all are waiting for score information, but for anyone using Becker that has taking the final exams, why does it mark things wrong when you get them right?!?! For the simulations, what I assume to be an incorrect answer comes up in yellow, yet the solution has the same number I entered. This happens on the MCQ too sometimes. Does anyone have this same experience?!?!" I had exact experiance! Also, does any one get your AUD score yet in CA? I took it on April 1, and have't got my score
1:45 PM From: "Jon" Add sender to ContactsTo: No reg has come out yet. -----Original Message----- From: Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 1:56 PM To: Exam Subject: Question about scores Hi, I sat for the REG section of the cpa exam on 4/24/09. I believe that puts me in Wave 1 (?). Please do you know if the scores have been released and when they will be posted to the website? Thank you so much.
was the 850 new aud scores posted in ny yet? still nothing by me...
The email is from the Texas State Board. "No Reg has come out yet" I presume that means no REG nationwide. So lets all forget about REG for now :(
the new aud in ny was posted but i too was sol.
nothing in CO yet...
Thanks for the info. A-TX. Hopefully we'll get the results tomorrow afternoon. Congratulations to all who passed BEC, FAR, and Audit. For those who didn't, persevere until you make it.
Took audit in Georgia on 04/08 and still waiting. Did my score get held until the next month? Did this happen to anyone else in Georgia?
I sat for audit in Florida on April 7 and still no score. Has anyone from Florida received their audit score yet?
ugh still no score guess i'm second wave. waiting on FAR in PA
Sat for NY AUD on 5/4, checked for score yesterday, 94 showed from 2pm to midnight. Waiting for REG score, so I checked AUD score again this morning, it shows "error..." now. What's going on?
i sat for FAR in april 4 and still nothing OMG when it's going to end
I took audit first time got 61, actually was not ready, 2nd 74 ... very frustrating
"i sat for FAR in april 4 and still nothing OMG when it?s going to end" right there with you, so nerve racking
anyone received FAR scores from Colorado?
76 in FAR thats all that matters..congratulations for all who passed and best of luck for all the hopefuls..
should I use Wiley for audit in addition to Becker?
FAR Colorado is posted!
should I also use Wiley in addition to Becker review?
Far is posted in Indiana!
How'd you do Kate?
I still have got anything from CO does this mean i will be in wave 2
Far for Florida is posted! I passed! *does happy dance*
Hi Jim I got a 69. Missed it by 6 crappy points! And you?
I'm in CO still waiting.
So Audit in NY is out..Congratulations to all those who passed and good luck to rest. Anyone from CT got their AUD score? I m tired of waiting :((
good luck jim hope you'll pass this monster
Good Luck! let us know how you did. Have you taken any other sections?
I passed AUD earlier this week 79, but i'm not very optimist regarding FAR crossing fingers
Woo-hoo. Passed FAR with a 95. My first section. Take AUD on Saturday.
I passed BEC and am studying for Reg. I have been taking this exam for 6 years now. I took the last paper exam and got 4 - 70 through 73. It's been a long ride. We just have to keep on pushing!
still waiting for FAR in TN. I really hope I dont have to wait until wave 2 for my last section!
FAR is out in CT - I passed woo hoo!
FAR in PA is my last... Looks like my last is going to be a second wave. Sucks because I took it April 18
Still waiting for AUD in CT.
DONE 4/4 IN FAR - 83! THANKS ALL I would have started losing sections May 31, what a relief!!!!!!
Congrats to all who passed!!! Good luck to those about to sit. I am waiting for REG in GA- took 4/3. I sit for AUD on the 29th. I am expecting FAR and BEC in wave 2. This has been a long week and promises to be a long weekend for REG folks.
FAR is out in DE. i failed miserably.
Congrats IN FAR which state are you
Indiana
Adam, when did you take it? My FAR score in TN is out. I hope you don't have to wait until wave 2.
I think I know what is happening. There is a tracker that says how many times each Section Number has clicked the submit button. They add a minute to how long you have to wait for each click. Therefore I won't receive my score until August 23, 2016.
Colorado-Audit 66 -BEC 73 -FAR Next Friday Gotta pick myself up,dust up and get going.
NY FAR is in!
I took it in Madison. My scores from previous testing windows are still available to view too. I don't get it because I shouldn't be able to see those.
OHHHH..... COME ON NASBA GIVE US OUR SCORES!!!
anybody waiting for AUD in NY? I took the exam during the first wk of April.
mka - I took AUD in NY on 4/7 - it seems like a lifetime ago. I can't believe it's taking so long for our grades to be released. When did you take the exam?
Has anyone had Texas FAR scores posted since the ones that got them this morning? I'll be sooo frustrated if I'm in Wave 2, I got my AUD score on Tuesday, only 8 days after taking the test. No FAR score and I took it 3 weeks earlier than AUD...
Still waiting for FAR in CT...does this mean I will be in the second wave?
FAR is out in GA!!! 3 down 1 to go YEA!!!
Still nothing in colorado
I passed FAR!!!! I could've sworn I failed, got a 76!!! One more to go, BEC next Saturday
haha, any chance I am blind and the 73 I am seeing is actually a 78?
took audit in NY on 4/20.. haven't gotten my score yet.
TX Sarah...I'm still waiting for my FAR score also. When I spoke to someone at the Board today, they said FAR came out today and to look in the morning for the scores. I assume they meant Friday morning. However, others on this website already got scores today. So, hopefully some more FAR scores will be released in the morning. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure we are in the second wave. Let me know if you get yours in the morning and I'll do the same.
I took NY Audit on 4/7 also, score showed up at 10:00 tonight. 78. 3 Down and I have FAR on Tuesday, so hopefully I can be done this whole process soon. Good luck to everyone still waiting.
So, if I still have not received scores for CO tonight, is it a possibility that scores are still in the process of being loaded or should I say Wave 1 is over tonight? Thanks for any responses !
FAR in IN Ny
mka, I took AUD on 4/25 and I'm waiting (very impatiently).
Still no score of FAR and AUD. PlEASE SHOW ME THE SCORES !!
TOOK FAR 4/25 in NY. it in at 10 pm tonit
FAR just came through for Kansas! Killed the monster moving on to REG on 5/30.
Anyone from Colorado got their scores yet....??? please respond
Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 8:47 pm Anyone from Colorado got their scores yet?.??? please respond Anonymous, Quite a few have received their scores from Colorado. I am still waiting
Anyone check earlier in the night for their FAR score and get the "Error: Score not found" message and then checked later to find their score posted? Still waiting for my score in GA. Am I wasting my time refreshing since my score hasn't been posted yet while others from GA have already received their scores?
BB - did your exam have the "weird" simulation that looked like it belonged on FAR instead of AUD?
thanks divya
Ray I'm waiting on a FAR score in PA too. I saw Amy got hers. Hopefully they aren't all coming out at same time.
Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 8:47 pm Anyone from Colorado got their scores yet?.??? please respond I am also still waiting.
Jenny - I feel your pain. This is terrible!!!
I also hope the same, DMC PA.... It's hard to wait for score till Wave 2... Let's keep our fingers crossed and expect for the best !
Is MA audit out or not??????
DMC, unfortunately not looking good, just checked again and not there. Depressing
I am new to this process of predictions and waiting but is it crazy of me to think: 5 CO people waiting for FAR. 2 have received 3 still waiting. More must be coming? Am I crazy?
KF - Although I haven't taken FAR, during my AUD exam, I did receive a FAR-like simulation.
I took it on the 9th
Jim, add me to your category.... Even, I am crazy to think that I would receive FAR score in Wave 1
I don't know why it's taking them too long. is it that hard to process some scores online
Is there anyone else from PA waiting on FAR? I like the looks of Jim's CO breakdown. They just may not be fully posted yet. Does anyone know if the copy will come out by mail even if the score isn't available online?
AUD NM - did you get your score? When did you take the exam?
Jeff, do you have any updates ?
Not yet, and I'm not sure that I even want to know after feeling confident then crushed by that sim. I sat on 4/10.
KF - I don't exactly remember my sims very well at this point so I'm assuming they weren't weird. I do remember thinking when I left that nothing seemed crazy so I shouldnt have to wait for 2nd wave. I emailed the people from the Contact us part on the NASBA site and I got an email this morning saying that they received my score and it should be posted soon. I would say try that if you havent heard anything yet.
just in case...does anyone know when the 2nd wave would be?
from mid of June till June end...
KF - I had such a "weird-looking" REG sim today. Might have been the same one you were hit with. It was really obscure. The Becker REG books didn't cover it in any depth at all. I looked up the topic I was hit with in both FAR and REG sources (not just Becker) and found out it really is a REG topic. However, FAR does cover something very similar.
By the end of june around 25
Got Colorado AUD and FAR. Passed both.. :-) All the best everyone else.
BB - thanks for the tip - I just emailed them :)
Still waiting for AUD & REG in PR!!!
Any word on FAR for TN???
Has anyone received an AUD score in OH? I am still waiting, took it 4/17.............
V says: May 21, 2009 at 9:07 pm Got Colorado AUD and FAR. Passed both.. All the best everyone else. V, Congrats !! Did you just check your results? Were they just loaded? Did you try to check them an hour before also? Sorry to ask these questions as I am also awaiting on FAR scores from CO. Thanks !
Is it all over for AUD in NH for Wave 1.
I still haven't received my AUD scores yet out of Delaware and my sims seemed audit related, so I don't believe I had a sim that related to FAR.
I havent heard anything from OH yet.... I took mine on 4/27... Is there a chance I will have to wait for the second wave to be released?
I am there with you, Hunter. Which section did you take? I took AUD on 5/4 in OH. This waiting is killing me. Looks like NASBA updated the scores today but my score is still not up. I even emailed to NASBA twice but no reply. So frustrating.
anyone else from CT receive FAR score?
I took FAR, I am pretty sure you will have to wait for the second wave to see your score. I was told by an official that usually if you take it in May your score will be included in the second wave..
Just out of curiousity how much time a day does everyone spend studying?
By the way I felt pretty good about FAR until i got to my 1st simulation and I literally had no clue how to do what they were asking... I mean I pretty much just guessed several numbers and put them in the answer boxes and my writing section for that one was awful as well... Luckily I am pretty sure that I nailed the second simulation.. This is my 1st time to take it, do you think that one simulation will hold me back very much?
i heard some people in florida got AUD
I study my ass off, I know I study more than gleim recommends but my biggest problem is the time issue.. It was hard for me to focus because I kept thinking I was going to loss track of the time and fall behind..
any word on TN yet?
Hunter, I just got my FAR grade back and I surprisingly passed. Seriously, I completely messed up on the first simulation and was completely confused on the second. And on top of that, I didnt know about a third of the MC questions. As soon as i left that test, I knew I didnt pass. I got my score back today, 85. How did that happen? I have absolutely idea. Same thing happened with my friend. she thought she, honestly, failed. but she passed. so dont worry about it.
Which State?
That was too abrupt, oops ! BTW, Congrats !
Divya, FL FL FAR is out.
I honestly just dont know how to handle the wait any longer....I feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown!
Hunter, I took FAR at the end of Apr in TN and I have not received my score yet. Several people have posted on here stating they have received their FAR scores.
"Hunter, I just got my FAR grade back and I surprisingly passed. Seriously, I completely messed up on the first simulation and was completely confused on the second.

Hahaha did you take it in MA on 4/27 because I had the SAME exact testing scenario, same exact result, and same disbelief when I got my score tonight. Congrats to all who passed! And good luck to those taking parts soon!
awesome that makes me feel alittle more confident, atleast for now... If I dont pass that might make it sting alittle worse! ha.
by the way 85 is really good thats awesome... Adam* Do you think that they just havent released the FAR scores yet for TN, or do you think that we will have to wait for the second wave of scores?
Hi everyone, Congrats to everyone celebrating victories tonight. For those who came up on the short end of a 75...as you know...I've been there. I almost quit the exam, but I'm glad I didn't. Keep moving forward! For those frustrated b/c their score didn't come out...I know how that feels too. A year from now - when everyone here is a CPA..any failed sections or frustration over not getting a score...will be a distant memory (it will be replaced by worrying about CPE :) ) I haven't heard anything about REG (sorry REG people!). For those curious about Memorial Day...I got my score for REG a year ago on Tuesday morning after Memorial Day...so in theory with the new system...it could come out Monday evening if scores still are not out. Remember- if you don't have your score yet...it doesn't mean you failed...it means nothing. Maybe you got a new sim and are Wave 2 automatically...who knows...it means nothing as far as your score is concerned. I try to keep up with the site questions but I won't do a very good job of it this weekend...I'll be helping with a family project. Thanks again for everyone's contributions to the site...I really appreciate it. Have a good weekend...(try to enjoy it REG people...I know the misery of a holiday weekend without a score...I did it a year ago...) -Jeff
I have no idea. It looks like several people did receive their score in TN so hopefully we will get lucky and they will submit some more scores by the morning? I dont know if I can make it til June to find out my score.
So it has been confirmed that FAR has been released for TN?? Yeah I really dont want to wait another month.. IM hoping there might be a chance that some TN scores will be released at midnight..
89 FAR in CO!!!
hey anonymous - in ct, still no FAR... hard to believe that person got thier score since CT only uploads once a day and its like WAY early in the am....check tommorrow morning.
So if FAR's are released in your state then the entire wave is released? If we don't have it now we are in the second wave? These questions have probably been asked 1M times and are probably so annoying but I can't help it. I am pretty sure I will turn gray if I wait that long.
Just got FAR in SC...93!!!! Just got one more to take next Friday and I will HOPEFULLY be done!
Bcool* nice, 89 is awesome... What date did u take your exam on? I know diff states will vary, but im hoping there might be a slight comparison there..
Jim* Im wondering those same questions.. If anyone knows that would be very helpful..
I think we need a FAQ post or something that explains this process. Anybody have such a link?
hey anonymous - in ct, still no FAR? hard to believe that person got thier score since CT only uploads once a day and its like WAY early in the am?.check tommorrow morning. Thank you! I might be able to sleep tonight knowing there's a possibility the score will be there tomorrow.
no problem. im waiting too, there is no more brutal feeling than seeing others getting scores and having to wait more. red wine helps ;)
Is there anyone who took Aud in Wa and got the score?
I took AUD on 4/1 and still nothing. I vaguely remember a weird sim, but I'm not sure. I guess I might be waiting for another month.
I got my FAR score for CT tonight at 9 PM and passed and am finally done with the exam (I must have taken the exam over 10 times by now so I've definitely been in your shoes for all of you that may have fallen short of the 75). So good luck to everyone and thank you thank you thank you Jeff! This site has really helped pick up my spirits and push me forward throughout this whole process. I don't know what I would have done without it!
I just want to know what it feels like to pass. Just once and maybe that'll be enough to keep me going.
NJ far out...
"Anonymous says: May 21, 2009 at 7:51 pm I sat for audit in Florida on April 7 and still no score. Has anyone from Florida received their audit score yet?" I took AUD on Apr 11 in FL and still haven't received my score. I've been asking the same question. Any other FL AUD people???
Question** This is my 1st time to take the CPA exam and I was wondering if there is a chance that I could receive my score sometime tomorrow, even though someone on here has already received their score for FAR in TN????
FL I would go back and read the past 3 or 4 pages if you arent able to find an answer... i think I remember seeing several confirmations for FL scores. Im not sure if they were for AUD though... GL
I guess that I'm just hoping against hope now, but has anyone from LA received their scores for audit?
82 FAR in NY!!!! After one and a half years of studing!!!! Jeff, thanks for the help!!!
Pretty sure AUD for NY is out... my friend got her score tonight.
I took audit on 4/2 and didn't find out my score until tonight (while others in my state learned there scores Monday night). For those who have not seen scores yet don't worry yet that you have been pushed to wave two, NASBA has no clear way to release scores.
Reg...Regggggggggggggggggggggggg....i cant take this waiting game much longer.....someone please post if they see reg scores up thanks
Anyone in the great state of Maryland receive any FAR scores??? Took my exam on 4/22 and haven't heard back yet.
Jeff, you were correct about NY releasing scores. I just got my FAR score back. I took it on 5/6 and got 88! I am finished with the CPA exam!!! Thank you for your wonderful website!
"FL I would go back and read the past 3 or 4 pages if you arent able to find an answer? i think I remember seeing several confirmations for FL scores. Im not sure if they were for AUD though? GL" Hmm I haven't noticed anyone from FL posting about receiving an audit score in the last couple of pages... maybe it still hasn't been released?
still no FAR in CT...assume second wave?
I took REG in Michigan on April 1st..........so apparently this is one big April Fools on me! It is my last section and I would like to know if I can get on with my life, or start studying again! WHY does it take the AICPA, at the very least, OVER 7 weeks to grade an exam? I am so frustrated.
But on the bright side, I am working a half a day of work today, and then driving the 7 hours to my "home" for a long weekend, and I get to spend time with my 8 month adorable grandson!!! =)
"Anyone in the great state of Maryland receive any FAR scores??? Took my exam on 4/22 and haven?t heard back yet." Maryland has only released BEC scores so far...I'm not thinking it's a great state anymore :-P
I received my AUD score at 9pm last night. It was a 72. I immediately re-registered for it and will be taking again in July. I would say that is it for this AUD release. IF you have not received your scores yet, you will not get them until wave 2 if you are a NASBA state. It looks like REG and FAR are still outstanding for a lot of people and will be released in the next few days. GL to everyone out there. I will be checking this site again in august.
FAR scores are out for Colorado! 88!!
FAR is out in PA!
anyone know if FAR is out for Missouri yet?
Still no FAR in NY for me.... from reading the other posts it seems that makes me a Wave 2 chump. Jeff any word from NASBA on a possible trickle-release?
Anyone in MA received their FAR score?
Anyone in CA received their FAR or AUD score ? no score this morining?
Maryland AUD is out!
So if you have a new sim, you're automatically in wave 2? I did have a weird FAR sim that a few people commented on. I wonder if that's my hold up. So frustrating. Oh well...
"But on the bright side, I am working a half a day of work today, and then driving the 7 hours to my ?home? for a long weekend, and I get to spend time with my 8 month adorable grandson!!! =)" Enjoy the weekend with him! ... I bet he makes you forget about REG
Oh and that FAR sim was on an AUD... stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Jeff, you were correct about NY releasing scores. I just got my FAR score back. I took it on 5/6 and got 88! I am finished with the CPA exam!!! Thank you for your wonderful website!" Nice job Kate...congrats on being done!
I haven't heard anything about anything...I'll certainly pass it along the nanosecond that I get something...either on here or twitter...
No Florida AUD yet for me.
I did not receive my FAR score last night(sat on 4/1) and I was hoping maybe it would post sometime over night but no score. Looks like it will be a very long month waiting for my score in the 2nd wave.
Still no AUD in NY (exam day: first wk of April)
Still no AUD in Mass yet. Took exam 4/25. Here is the email response I got from Nasba "As scores are received, they are released. If you cannot view your score on-line, it hasn't been received to date. All scores are due to be received by the end of June."
Still no Florida REG either.
NY AUD 5/4 - got score on website 2 days ago, then it disappeared. It's back this morning. REG 4/13 - still waiting
Did anyone get REG score in NY?
why the holdout on REG - has this happened before where their first release is everything but REG?
Any MA candidate in-house, I am just wondering if MA released any result aside from BEC. I am waiting for my FAR score, its my last one for MA
I've got FAR this morning. 86! It's the same score as my auditing. Will them mess up my scores? What if is a mistake? If my scores are correct, then I passed CPA exam. Please hang in there, you will pass. Anyone can do it if you take one day at a time.
I'm from CT and just called NASBA as I did not receive my score yet. They said there is still a chance I can hear by the end of the month. If I don't, I will be in the second wave. Does this seem right?
Tested for FAR on 04/2 for state of CO and still havent got my score..... which number is everyone calliing to varify if they got your score?
Where oh where is REG? Wanting, Waiting, Wishing in SC for REG to post. R G R G E E R E G REG REGREGREG REG REG REG REG
according to VA board, no REG scores have been received. its going to be a long and fretful memorial weekend.
Me too I took FAR in CO early april and nothing yet, i saw some people received their FAR score. I wonder how this work??!!!
I'm from MA, have seen NO results posted from anyone in MA besides BEC. I'm waiting for my AUD score, trying to figure out if I should just give up until Wave 2....
....and its my last exam in MA too, so I feel you....
NJ- FAR score came in last night. Passed! Whohooo I'm done!!!
blbennett32 - I took FAR on Apr 25th in Missouri and haven't gotten my score. I was wondering if mine might not be released during Wave 1, but maybe they haven't even released them yet?? I wish we got updates from our board like IL does....
No FAR in CO! Seems like a lot of us, but I guess we all are in the 2nd Wave. I can't believe I am going to have to wait another month to find out my score! GRRRR. Oh well. Have Reg in a week have to stay focused.
I still haven't received my audit score (NY). Do you think I'm in wave 2?
NO FAR in CA ! really tired of waiting a score. It's hard time to check it every day ! If no score this wave.. OMG !!!
this is really unfortunate for us folks waiting for REG. I cant imagine having to wait until wave 2 to get a score. I took REG on 4/5 in MA. I do recall the 1st sim I got to be somewhat of a surprise. The topics were familiar, but what they were asking us to solve was somewhat complex to me. I sat there frozen for what seemed like 20 minutes...by the time I gathered myself, I had 24 mins for the 2nd sim and clicked finish with 1 min to spare. Anyway - hopefully we hear by next week. good luck everyone
I feel like theres more people than usual that are still waiting (more than the normal wave 2 holdovers)...maybe more will be released later?
Am I the only MA candidate here?
Hello guys do you think NASBA will release more FAR scores during the day/evening, or that's it for wave one.
Nope, I'm from MA, posted earlier, still no AUD score...
audit in NY, I'm in the same boat. I took AUD on 4/25 (NY) and still nothing. I just called and she gave a generic "scores are posted as they are released" response. No help.
I'm a MA candidate and still waiting for REG... I took it 4/2
This is the reply I received from CO state board :- "Your FAR grade has not come in yet" I have no option but to wait until Wave 2, then... Have BEC scheduled next weekend. Back to BEC for now !
Has anyone received their FAR score in Wisconsin?
Called VA board. Still has no my audit score. Now I have to wait until next week. Really want to know. Need to foucus on my REG next week too.
What are the odds that more states will release FAR today? I really dont want to wait another month.
I feel rude! I was so excited last night about passing FAR and being done with this beast of an exam that I forgot to say some things. First of all, thanks, Jeff, for a wonderful web site! You have helped make this whole painful process a lot more emotionally tolerable. Congratulations to everybody who passed! For those of you who did not, please keep plugging. I have taken this a total of 9 times (FAR x 3, AUD, REG, and BEC each x 2). Believe me, I am not a "brimming with confidence" type person, and I hate studying with a passion, so if I could do it, anybody can. For those of you still waiting on scores...I know it's really hard, but try to hang in there! Everybody have a good long weekend :)
does anyone know if your answers entered into the simulation are saved if you let the clock run out?
Erin, I'm in WI took FAR on April 29th no word yet and killing me. I also wonder if anyone in WI has received scores yet? Try to have a great weekend! Dan
Anyone receive AUD in TX?
yeah your answer will be saved. MD results are out today for wave 1. I passed AUD and FAR.....................whooooooo what a weekend..........
Yes, if the clock runs out, it will save what you have input for the sims at that point.
For those of you waiting on reg I am sorry last October I took it on October 6th and got my score back on Jan 1st hung over and feeling great with a 79 however pissed off I had to wait a full 12 weeks. I feel your pain their is hope!
Has anyone in Illinois gotten a score back for any of the sections?
Congrats Amy! Well done! If you (or anyone else) that are done want to write a story on your experience - what worked for you - what didn't - what you learned throughout the whole process...that would be great! e-mail it to me at another71cpa@gmail.com if you're interested (please include a pic if you're comfortable with that.) -Jeff
i took FAR on 5/5 in NY? STILL NO SCORE
re: sim clock running out. Yes - your answers are saved...it happened to me on my final 2 exams and I passed both.
No FAR score for me in Texas...Guess I'm in the second wave...I'll be back to check on the second wave predictions...Thanks for the site Jeff...Good luck to all.
79! My first passed exam! So happy!
Benjamin - I got my FAR score back in IL, but I know others that did not get FAR.
Hey hi Jeff!!! I took my exams for the CO board at LA on April 1, 2 & 3 - All 4 papers... I had got my results for the AUD and BEC and have passed both successfully !! But its been 4 days since i got my AUD & BEC, i have not got FAR & REG... Any ideas?? Does that mean it would come up in the second wave?? Could u tell me tentative week they would release the second wave?? Is there any reason for me to be worried??? Please help Jeff!!!
"Remember- if you don?t have your score yet?it doesn?t mean you failed?it means nothing. Maybe you got a new sim and are Wave 2 automatically?who knows?it means nothing as far as your score is concerned." Jeff, Do they hold random tests for reasons other then a new sim or bordlerline grade cases? Thanks, Texas FAR
Hello Jeff, from your experience do you think that all of wave one is released for FAR, or their is more to come. Thanks
Jenny in CA- I am in CA and took far on 4/2 and received my score two days ago. From my experience it seems that the CBA site is only updated once a day and I don't recall ever seeing a new score after about 9 or 10 am. But I still check every couple hours since I'm waiting for my reg score.
Its my 1st time to take the exam and I havent received my score yet... Even though I was eligble to take the exam, I wont reach 150 hours until August. Does that mean I might have to wait until then before I can see my score??? I didnt think that was the case but some FAR scores for TN have already been released.
Dan, I am glad to know I'm not the only one waiting in WI. Good Luck!
AUD (NY): Was your score just posted?
Has anyone from GA seen FAR results yet? I sat on 4/28 and was hoping for good news before the long weeekend.
"Jeff, Do they hold random tests for reasons other then a new sim or bordlerline grade cases?" Not sure about this one. re: FAR scores I think FAR people will wait until Wave 2...approx. 78% of Wave 1 scores are out, which is higher than the normal 75% or so. Sorry for those still waiting...
Will have to wait until wave 2. Just received email from NASBA that my score will not be released until wave 2. At least I know. I am a little bummed but will concentrate on getting back to studying FAR. I did get that strange sim.
What about AUD people, Jeff? Wave 2 at this point??
I havent seen any FARs from GA yet.. I sat for FAR on 4/27 and I havent heard anything either..
It was posted as of 9am this morning when I checked it.
Jeff, do you think more AUD scores will be posted since they have only released 60 something percent?
Jeff, Does your contact have any info on REG, or is it still in the black hole known as the AICPA?
I sat for FAR in GA on 4/1 and I have not received my score. I do remember seeing two posts last night from GA test takers receiving FAR.
My guess is that AUD scores are done until mid-June, unfortunately.
Lee Does NASBA email all the people who have to wait until the second wave or did you contact them first?
REG is still in the black hole as far as I've heard
Thanks, I will wait patiently, although it is not easy? Congratulations :--) Jeff, any idea about the delay for AUD in NY? I took the exam during the first week of April.
Still no Audit in MD:(
Any suggestions for studying for Reg?
I WAS crying , I got 74 in audit
Jeff - another71.com says: May 22, 2009 at 8:21 am re: FAR scores I think FAR people will wait until Wave 2?approx. 78% of Wave 1 scores are out, which is higher than the normal 75% or so. Sorry for those still waiting? Jeff, Thanks for the update. Another one month of wait :(
anyone get FAR in CT this AM?? Sat on 4/27...didnt think that was wave 2... but still 'error no score found'
Thanks JP CA - You mean they don't update scores after 9~10 AM every day ? I really want to know when they update a score each day. It was my first try to take the exam and I don't know well about this system. Nowdays I'm not easy in my mind without scores, but I think I need to get away from visiting CA board a couple of hours. Anyway thanks this site and all of yours..!!
Just don't study for Reg. You probably won't ever get it back anyway.
Passed AUD (TN)!!! Thanks Jeff for the site! One down, three to go!
cmw* did they just now release the AUD for TN?
My friend got his FAR score last night around 930 pm. We're in Louisiana. Our coordinator, Pinkney, handles Louisiana and Georgia.
Your score will be released in wave 2 in June. Penny Vernon, Manager Candidate Care, NASBA Isn't that just dandy?? So much for the cut-off/Wave 1 theory...another month of waiting...which means I can't start studying for another section until late June...Thanks, NASBA!! Fuming in GA!
TN-FAR-4/27 I emailed my NASBA coordinator first. I took auditing on 4/21.
I got the score for FAR in New Mexico this morning - 87 and I'm done with all four! Thanks, Jeff, this site has kept me sane--at least as sane as you can be while checking your scores 10 to 15 times per day :)
kstrong1 says: I received the same email. Did you get that strange sim?
Should I appeal 74?
How did yall get on the list to receive emails?
Did anybody appeal 74 in the past?
Lee-IND Truth be told: all sims are strange to me....but I got a SIM that to me should have been in FAR...this is the second time I've taken this exam and I received something similar last time. I don't have any idea how I'm supposed to study for this thing. I don't even remember what the other sim was.
anna, im not sure this is my 1st time to take it, but i did read something last night that said your chances of success in an appeal are 1 in a 1000... I think if its your 2nd or third time to take it though they might be alittle easier on you though.
Jeff, IF REG is released by AICPA tonight, isn't it true that NASBA won't start its preliminary processing until Tuesday, since they are closed on Monday for Memorial. This would mean that Tuesday night or Wednesday night would be our best bet. I realize their IT can upload on weekends, but the preliminary steps would require more staff huh?
ive mailed jess regarding REG.. with an asap reply but he hasn't really bothered to reply me back and im sure he checks his mail every now and then. disappointed jeff
ive mailed jess regarding REG.. with an asap reply but he hasn't really bothered to reply me back and im sure he checks his mail every now and then. disappointed jeff
Anyone get Audit in MN?
got grade, not happy
"ive mailed jess regarding REG.. with an asap reply but he hasn?t really bothered to reply me back and im sure he checks his mail every now and then. disappointed jeff" kush - my apologies. I get an e-mail everytime someone leaves a comment...so I have hundreds of e-mails each day...sometimes the e-mails get lost in the crowd...I haven't figured out how to rectify this. I was out all day yesterday...I do my best. I'm getting my tires rotated today and my plan was to answer e-mails while I waited. Sorry you were "disappointed".
I did appeal a 74 in AUD... and got no chage of score... I have not heard of anyone who has appealed and got a change of score.
2nd time, i studied like crazy, and 74...
need this, thanks
re kush nj: give the guy a break, it's not like you're a paid subscriber
So I just called NASBA and asked if they had received any REG scores for VA and they said YES but that I would have to speak to my state coordinator to get any further information. They transferred me but of course, the VA coordinator did not pick up. So what the heck? If NASBA said they have received scores for VA why hasn't VA posted these scores yet? Jeff - any idea?
That is the most promising post I've seen in 3 days. Hope it turns out to have validity
I think appeal it is waste of money
Hi, Has anyone in California seen results for AUD? Took exam on 4/2.
Has anyone got thier audit result in MD. I have been told they haven't receive the results from NASBA. is this true??
Jenny in CA-that is correct. I have never seen an update on California's website for a score after about 9 or 10 am. That doesn't mean its not possible... Don't worry you will be fine just stay focused and get it done so you can move on with your life. I've taken these tests about seven times and I finally got fed up with the test and my half @$$ attempts and I committed to studying and finishing them. Losing credits is the worst. it took me about 3 years to decide to be serious about passing
well, after NASBA said they had rec'd REG scores for VA I contacted the VA Board and what do you think they said - yep - they said they had not received any REG scores yet. I don't get it. If NASBA indicates they have rec'd REG scores for VA what is the hold up between NASBA and the VA Board? Normally it wouldn't be a big deal if we could access our scores via the "new and improved" VA website and thus have the ability to check over the weekend but, absent this ability we are at the mercy of calling the board either before they close today or wait until they return to work on Tuesday. What a long weekend it will be....
Re: Should I appeal 74? No, it is not worth it. Read the story Jeff posted about his interview with the AICPA (https://www.another71.com/2009/04/cpa-exam-curved-myths-debunked-my-interview-with-the-aicpa.html). There is a question specific to appeals that stated no scores were change in 2008 as a result of an appeal.
Jeff, If NASBA really has REG scores, when can we expect to see them posted on the NASBA website?
I had emailed candidatecare@nasba.org 2-3 days back inquiring about my AUD score, I just got a reply saying that I will receive my result in Wave 2. I gave AUD on April 17. Needless to mention that I am not happy to hear this. But atleast I know that when I have to start waiting again :P
i have not passed too
I thought that IL, VA and CA were Non-NASBA states? In reading this blog my understanding is that Prometric forwards the scores to the AICPA. The AICPA forwards the scores to (1) the state boards of states who are not affiliated with NASBA (IL, VA & CA) and also to NASBA who administers score releases for the NASBA states. Historically the Non-NASBA states boards (IL, VA &CA) are quicker at turning scores around (by a day or two) than NASBA. Is that the way it works? I'm confused because Anonymous says that a NASBA is saying they received scores for VA ( a non-NASBA state) Am I missing something?
Internet score posting is driving us all nuts, but it could be worse. I have a friend who had to pay $7.00 to see her nursing board scores on the internet. Can you imagine having to pay extra for the "privilege" of seeing your CPA exam scores on line?
Still waiting on audit results in MD.
I wish VA scores were posted on NASBA site since the VA Board can't seem to get a functioning website to include posting of score information after over 4 months since they launched the so called "new and improved" e-gov site. Nothing improved that I can see and only thing new is less available information (eg scores) nice to see our tax dollars hard at work.
I'd pay an additional fee if there was a guaranteed 2 week turn around or something similar.
far been released?
Haha, don't give the AICPA anymore ideas for exorbitant fees!
In all honesty, I really do think they have someone assigned to monitor this board....am I paranoid?
I got my AUD score from Maryland this morning (8 am). I took the exam 5/8
"Does your contact have any info on REG, or is it still in the black hole known as the AICPA?" Here's an idea for the AICPA......how about giving a REASONABLE REG exam, free of ridiculous simulations that cause everyone to scratch their heads? With all the material in that section, why throw such crazy simulations out there? Hit an individual tax return sim, then a corporate tax return sim and leave it at that.....
I believe NASBA gets the scores and if your state is a NASBA state then your scores will be posted on the NASBA site. If your state is not a NASBA state then NASBA forwards the score info they received onto your non-NASBA state (eg IL, VA, etc) and then that state board will post your scores. So for example, NASBA receives scores and if you are PA your score will be available on NASBA site since b/c PA is a NASBA state but if you are VA then NASBA submits the information to VA and the VA state board then posts the scores on VA Board site.
when they will actually improve their system
I received my FAR score from MA last night(around 10ish) although I know someone who took it the day after me (4/22) and hasn't gotten his score
I took FAR May 4th, and just found out I failed. This was my first time taking. The site says people who fail are supposed to get a diagnostic report indicating which parts you need work on. Does anyone know where we can get that report, or is it going to be mailed to us since I haven't gotten anything?
Has anyone in PA received your REG score? I took it on 4/8. Been waiting too long!!!!
RK... the report will be mailed to you, you'll get it in a few days probably, it'll be on the back of your score report
far in NY anybody?
Hey all. I just got this from a NASBA coordinator. "Generally, REG scores are the last ones to be released. We've yet to receive REG scores, so it appears it'll be Tuesday due to the Holiday. You still may want to check online tomorrow." aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Angela!!
Ernie, I am still waiting for CA AUD results as well. I know of some people who have received them, but both myself and another coworker have yet to receive our AUD scores.
In response to a complaint about me not getting back to them via e-mail, I have set up Club 75. I give away many hours of my time a week to helping people in any way that I can - and have been glad to do so. Still, I get complaints. This is a solution, I think. This way - if I don't get back to someone who has subscribed - they actually have a right to complain. https://www.another71.com/club-75 Have a great weekend everyone.
CA AUD, It is nice to know that I am not the only one waiting. I'm starting to freak out because it took nine weeks for me to receive my REG score only to find out I got a 72. This waiting is torture!
REG! REG! REG! REG! When will you come out???
Next Tuesday for REG?! I think I will remember this Memorial Weekend forever!
Hey all, look. We are all burnt out and frustrated. Some of us are staying blitzed to survive this and some may already have that perfect cliff picked out to dive off of. But Jeff has been there too. Most of us are avoiding other responsibilities in our lives to refresh constantly. Jeff has been there too. But ya know what? He has served his time and now deserves to be able to live his life as he chooses. And he still, somehow, finds time to keep this running and active for all of us. There are over 40,000 hits a day on this site. If he is asked a question he may not see it before enough comments come in to flood another page or so. And I can only imagine how many e-mails he gets a day. Sorry for the sermon or soap-box. I am just saying, be mad at NASBA, or the AICPA, or even me for all I care, but please give Jeff a break. He has done nothing to deserve negativity and again, has been there too. I know this may not apply to everyone. On behalf of the majority of the users of this blog, THANK YOU JEFF!!
I got an email from NASBA today saying that I'm in the Wave 2 of AUD scores, because the AICPA has to wait for enough people to take a particular exam. I took it on 4/1, so it looks like AUD scores for Wave 1 might be done.
NY, that suonds like you might have gotten a new sim that they need to "compare" to how other people did.
Jeff, Honestly, you are doing a great job in helping out the CPA fraternity. It?s not a simple task to balance your job, family, friends and another71.com. Still, you manage to provide us the updates here and there to keep us in the loop. For the past week, I was fretting on FAR score. This resulted in bad consequences on my study for BEC which is scheduled next week. To add on, I have not still received my FAR score in Wave 1 but still I am somehow at ease now. As soon as I read your update that 78% of the FAR scores have been released, I immediately knew I am in Wave 2. Magically, a big burden has been lifted off my mind :). I don?t know what are going to be my results, but for now fretting is at peace. Obviously, when I know that I have to wait until Wave 2, so better to wait happily, isn?t it ! Thanks to you for providing me a peaceful one week before my BEC exam otherwise I would have messed up BEC. Have a great weekend :)
yea I figured that was the case when my score wasn't released last night.
Someone was asking this earlier - I ran out of time on the second simulation and the test "timed out". I passed, so obviously your answers up to that point are saved. Also, since I ran out of time, I did not get to the written communication on the second simulation and still passed so it must be true they only grade one of them. Luckily, the one I did. I will say I think I nailed the first simulation and got most of the tabs right on the second one, except of course my memo I didn't get to.
Angela, My thoughts exactly. Could not have said it better.
I am waiting on my FAR results in TN and it is my last section. If I don't pass by July 31st, I lose AUD. Should I start studying for FAR again in case I don't pass? How has everyone handled that situation?
Soooo, I called NASBA, seems they are already gone for the long weekend because the office is closed. Way to make an extra effort to get our scores our :)
Soooo, I called NASBA, seems they are already gone for the long weekend because the office is closed. Way to make an extra effort to get our scores out :)
Can somebody please tell me if they have received a single AUD score in MA? Saw someone claiming to be from MA and turned out to be from Maine....
hey jeff look im sorry if i upset anyone here for complaining but i dint mean to oblige you in any way i was jus expectin your mail already failed in BEC... plus REG comes up in a week havent really touched it as yet so really nerve wrecked so i apologize to whoever got offended with me bein disapp and i know im not a paid subscriber or somethin... but i never claimed any rights to a reply or somethin... i jus put up what i was thinkin... anyways... jeff if u want i will mail u again the difficulty i have or if you could trace my mail kindly respond to it asap.. thank you all and good luck to all cpa students... back in India im doin CA... counterpart of CPA and we have exams only twice a year that is in may and nov. and we have established a phrase for the fraternity of CA students "Where there's a will, there's a way, If you don't pass in November, There's always May" so keep it going peeps... ;)
just called IL boe and they said they will be closed on monday. guess if they arent up by the end of today it will be a long wait until tuesday. my advice is to just relax and enjoy the 3 day weekend.
I received my MD Audit score this morning.
FAR FAR
There is no hope, There is no way, To get the scores by Memorial Day
I emailed PA NASBA yesterday and got a reply back today regarding the REG exam. Here is what she said: "The first wave of scores are coming in now and the second wave will be here around the middle of June. " Not really sure what "now" means as i still have an error message when I look up the score on NASBA. Hope I'm not in the second wave ;(
Does anyone know for CA- if you didn't pass, would it show your score AND 'no credit' or just 'no credit' on the website? I took FAR beginning of April and have been going nuts waiting for it and am starting to freak out now.
There is always hope Chances slim at best So enjoy the holiday And forget the test.
Jeff, You're a butt munch. just kidding..........silly is all I have left as we wait this stpid reg thing out.
PA - if she is correct, they come in but our status will not change until much later in the night or early AM. If scores are coming in, non NASBA states may see them tonight or in the morning but we won't until Monday or Tuesday probably at best.
Yeah, if the REG scores are indeed trickling in as we speak, I look forward to the posts from Calif and Illinois candidates. Us NASBA people will just have to live vicariously through you guys for a few more days. At least we can cheer for you and know in our minds that this thing is at least moving.
I will have a much better weekend knowing that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has at least received a REG score ........and that the whole batch wasn't lost and we would have all passed but now we have to all re-take and............. ...sorry...my other personality took over my keyboard for a moment. I am sure all is fine and someone soon will GET A FREAKING SCORE FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! :)
Angela thanks for the PA insight info. I was hoping they would be here today as I take Auditing on Wednesday (my last part) and was hoping to get REG back as a motivational tool. Instead i suppose I'll just have to suffer through another Memorial Day of studying instead of a beach weekend.
Hey, is anyone on Facebook? I could use some psychotic CPA wannabe friends like me.
no score yet
Well if at all possible, take a little time and run off to the beach. Maybe if you give yourself a little me time as a reward, the rest of the study time will be even more productive. I sit for AUD on Friday
NY - I just got the same email from NASBA. I can't believe I wasted all that time this week checking my score & stressing.
I wonder if ppl who didn't get the score in the 1st wave still have a chance to get higher than 75% after the second wave. Please let me know if there is anyone who had this experience. I don't wanna lose my hope.
Hay Angela, I am in face book...
Joe, not in the first wave does not indicate your score. It could be that there was a new sim that needed to be evaluated or some other circumstance. But many have passed in the 90's and gotten pushed to the 2nd wave. PLEASE do not give up hope.
Angela Thank you for saying that. I needed someone to tell me not to give it up. Since i didnt get the score, i guess that i have lost my mind. I am sick of waiting for the socre all the time!!
i still haven't received my REG Score yet (as of 11:31am pacific time) *argh*
Angela, Thank you for the kinds words earlier. Also - please be prudent with whom you add to facebook...my advice is to not do it at all if you don't know them...too many bad stories out there...my $.02
Dunno what you guys think about this idea, but I've been filling my day with completing the Ethics course instead of checking for my REG score. Hopefully, this way, I'll receive my REG score and be done with the whole thing!! Just a thought for those of you who need to get something accomplished.
Joe- we are all tired of waiting. It may be a waste of time to refresh constantly knowing good and well that it isn't going to change any time soon, but if we quit in the middle then we really have wasted even more. Jeff- Thanks. Might have gotten carried away there.
Does anyone know if Texas scores come on multiple days, or if we don't have FAR by now we have to wait until wave 2?
I deleted your post Angela...if you *really* want to give out your e-mail addy (which has your last name in it)...you can re-post it.
Thanks
Has anyone actually received a REG score yet?
Guys this is directly from the VT, NE, and PA director as of 12 pm this afternoon. Your score has not come in yet from the AICPA, sorry. I think its going to be a very long weekend for those states. Lets start drinking and blackout to the fact that we in took this exam, and to the fact that AICPA has no consideration for our well earned time off. Hope you all have a great weekend.
NASBA just e-mailed me and said I am in wave 2 for Audit (im in New Mexico) even though I took my exam 5/4. Illinios says the cut-off isn't until 5/8 so are they feeding me the corporate line? I mean I realize I am not getting my score anytime soon but it sounds they are trying to make me go away. Email - candidatecare@nasba.org Illinois - https://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com/ Dagnabit!
Well, I just took and passed the Ethics exam....guess I'm back to checking for my score every 30 minutes.
Jeff i feel like you are our big brother watching over us.... thank you so much for everything you do!!!
Just FYI guys. Facebook has a page for "Becker is ruining my life" it isn't as good as Jeff's site, but if you are looking for more CPA wannabe's it is a good place to look.
I just called VA BOA about the REG Scores and they have not received them yet, in addition they told that they do not work on extended the week-end
?
Just to let everyone know, I e-mailed the NV board which usually releases scores the same time as CA. They said they are expecting to get REG scores on Tuesday.
make sure you guys have low expectations cause expectations is directly proportionate to disappointment proven by the following formula- Disappointment = Expectation divided by Reality
"Does anyone know for CA- if you didn?t pass, would it show your score AND ?no credit? or just ?no credit? on the website? I took FAR beginning of April and have been going nuts waiting for it and am starting to freak out now." I think the Credit Status will not change until the 'View Score Report' button is available in the Action column in the Application Status section below. They are 'advisory' scores until they are finalized. If you didn't pass, it doesn't change the Credit Status Information section.
"Just to let everyone know, I e-mailed the NV board which usually releases scores the same time as CA. They said they are expecting to get REG scores on Tuesday." Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I'm pretty irritated my very last score (FAR-NY) got bumped to Wave 2. Though a big part of it is the wait - and that my work review will pass by the time Wave 2 comes and it would have been good to say I passed - its also the fact that I scheduled it early just to be part of Wave 1. If I was going to have to wait until June anyway I would have taken it this upcoming week and had an extra month to study. God I hope I'm done with this mess.

I was just laid off and it would help LOTS to get a job if I knew if I passed REG. I will be ticked off if I get bumped to wave 2, because I took it in April (tax test on tax day) to get my score earlier. With all my free time not working now, I could have studied lots more.
I bumbed the audit
Maybe the REG scores were just that bad and they are having trouble deciding what kind of curve to add to all the grades...
Jeff, I'm taking AUD in a couple days (May 26). Any predictions for when the score would be released. Sorry for jumping ahead of REG folks still waiting!
audit 73, 74, 3rd?
Aaron(FAR) Louisiana I?m taking AUD in a couple days (May 26). Any predictions for when the score would be released. Sorry for jumping ahead of REG folks still waiting! hey first of all good luck with your test! i jus appeared for AUD on the 20th. it was a very pleasant paper and i finished the test with ample time to review in 4 hours. as regards the results, again first of all you must not think bout the results now, just go give your best and secondly the results would be out by mid-june. good luck Aaron
Sweet. Mid June is good. After that......1 more to pass: The dreaded REG. Already taken it twice....68, 73. I'm going to buy the Becker materials for it this time around....so I plan on being a CPA in mid July after I take REG July 1. Can't wait for this to be over.
Is an ethics exam required in all states? Louisiana?
how do I find out if I got bumped to wave 2? because I took FAR in April and no score yet.
Got an e-mail from NASBA saying I'm in Wave 2 for AUD. :( Here's hoping I'm not in Wave 2 for REG too.
Just got an e-mail... REG released by AICPA today after NASBA offices were closed. NASBA people could see them by Tuesday night, but Wednesday evening is a more realistic scenario due to the holiday. CA/IL/other independent boards...it just depends on each board...some could release this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone.
Anyone else having issues with audit in MA? Starting to get impatient....
I just contacted the CA Board of Accountancy (they're open today!), the lady I talked to told me that if AICPA release the score to them today, there's a possibility that we will receive it over the weekend as an advisory score. So there's hope for CA candidates!!
We will probably get the letter in the mail before it posts online.
CA-REG: so people at the CA board will work over the weekend to release the score??
I'm not sure. Michelle, why don't you give them a call and let us know (916)561-1705. Thanks!
Now I am almost certain my AUD score will be in wave 2. I think my 2nd sim is a new release because it's an update added to Becker review material. I will be patient now.
Noone from CA...who has appeared in apr 2009...are scores released yet...
CPA2009, when did you take your AUD exam?
I am sorry..I meant anyone from CA...who has appeared in apr 2009...are scores released yet..
OK - I guess I am going to have to wait until wave 2 - I took AUD on April 7th in Illinois. If I didn't pass, I honestly wish they would just let me know... :(
That would be awesome if CA receives their scores over the weekend bc then the NASBA states may receive their scores Tuesday night instead of Wed!
ny-reg- no scores, 1st section, grueling wait.... i'm guessing tuesday at best? we have no shot for tonight via NASBA, correct?
Ernie in CA, I took AUD on 4/17/09 in VA. I called VA board everyday this week but now I will just wait until June. I felt I could pass but without knowing it I am still in doubt. One of my friend felt good after the exam but failed. I hope I will be luckier.
I took the AUD exam last month 4/22 in Worcester, Massachusetts. My score was initially posted to NASBA's website around 11pm on 5/19 and then it disappeared the next day. It just reappeared this morning.
Anyone still sober?
Waiting on Reg in NJ... My grades from 1Q which were earlier today are not up anymore does that mean anything for them possibly releasing scores?
Does anyone from CA expect to see their reg scores tonight?I am really new to this whole system and the way scores are released and will really appreciate if someone can help. Basically since it is after regular working hrs, I was wondering if the NASBA system needs some person to be present to update their system, and if CA board needs someone as well to update their system. Otherwise how can it be release over the weekend? Or is the whole thing in NASBA and CA Board an automatic process, without any manual intervention?? Someone pleaaaaaaaaaase reply if you know. Just a few words. Thanks
Ann, not sure about CA but as far as IL (which is the same in terms of score release), I remember I read somewhere at the state board website that they do update the scores online even on weekends. In fact, I received my FAR score on Sunday. And now waiting for my REG score...well, it's such a shame that the whole score release process is not standardized, after all it's a UNIFORM exam, that's why so many people are stressing here because no one knows when exactly the scores will be released. On the other hand, NASBA can choose to wait until the close of the window to release 100% of each section's scores but then it would be extremely inefficient. So we'll see how NASBA will decide to better streamline the whole process (if they ever will). But then, again, I would be hard-pressed to expect a great combination of efficiencies and standardization from non-profits...
I took audit today. It was my last section. I finished it in 2.5 hours. Is that a bad sign?
I took audit today. It was my last section. I finished it in 2.5 hours. Is that a bad sign? i finished audit in 4 hrs. i guess 2.5 hrs is a tad too quick for audit.. how did u manage with the sims? and didn't you review your testlets? if considering all of the above yet you finished AUD in 2.5 then you're a genius!
took FAR in CA on 4/23...still haven't received my score. Does that mean I'm in wave 2 forsure? when does wave 2 come out?
Is it too early for wave 2 prediction?
I also finished Audit in 2.5 hours last window. Got an 83. In my opinion they give too much time for that section and not enough for REG.
I finished AUD early as well and passed with an 82. But my background is in auditing.
I finished audit early as well, and got an 81. They definitely give too much time for AUD, I haven't heard of anyone who didn't finish early. They could give some of that extra time to FAR and REG!
Dang, 7:03AM, and nothing on REG. Going back to bed. Someone please post if you're from a non-NASBA state and your score posts.
Taking FAR at 12 today. Really don't know how to feel!
CA REG came out..Top portion indicates "no credit" but the bottom status information shows a score of 86! Have a great weekend!
Any wave 2 date predictions?
WooHoo! REG finally posted in Cali! 3 down, 1 to go!
Jeff since CA received their REG scores, what are your thoughts on NASBA states release?!?!
CA score came out..Good luck to all
Thanks Jeff for keeping us updated as soon as you are! It has been very helpful! I'm in California. I got my Regulations score and I passed! Thank God! For those of you still waiting, the scores do come...
Does Texas release scores over the weekend? I'm anxiously awaiting REG-first time taker....
I took REG for the first time yesterday. I coasted through the multiple choice and think I did pretty well on the first simulation. The second simulation was a different story. I know I nailed one of the tabs but the rest I'm pretty sure I bombed. I hope that one simulation doesn't kill my score. Well now its time to begin the wait we all enjoy so much. Good luck to all.
does NASBA release scores on Saturday/Sunday?
REG is out in CA!
I took REG and nailed the writing on the first sim, but bombed all the other tabs. I didn't have time for the second sim. I was sure I was going to fail but got a 77...so there's hope if you don't do well on the sims.
Anonymous who got 77, As for MCQ, how did you feel for each testlet? Was it easy?
No clue....when I was taking practice tests before the exam I thought I was acing them, but kept scoring in the 50s. So when I took the exam and thought I did well, I didn't trust that feeling at all. I will say that the exam questions seemed easier than the Wiley practice questions.
Did anyone see Reg for IL?
I haven't got anything for IL yet.
Texas doesn't update over the weekends, but maybe we can hope for Monday? There's a time stamp at the bottom of the score page when they do update it (usually for 3:16 AM)
My old scores disappeared this morning. I am waiting for Reg. Took exam on 5/3. Are they going to be released during the day or by tonight. this is for nasba state
Jeff, any thoughts on receiving NASBA Reg scores tonight? If not tonight, what do you think about a Sunday release? Sorry to bug you on the weekend!
yayayayaya! I'm done 78 REG!
Got my 82 this morning! I'm officially done!
Reg 85. Yayyy i passed
CA REG advisory score released.
what about nasba reg
NASBA wont see anything until Tuesday
Sorry, I may be a little clueless on this but can you please explain the distinction between NASBA and non-NASBA state? Still waiting on NY REG from beginning of April. Anyone else hear of NY scores?
Anyone in MD receive REG yet? I don't understand why CA always releases first. MD is not a nasba state so why can't they release the same time........not fair!
I passed! I PASSED!!! One down three to go... It's a great motivation and I can move on to another section!! YAY!
Did anyone get AUD scores in TX?
anyone from IL receive their Reg scores? Keep me updated.. Thanks
Yes! 3 down and bec left to go!
Reg scores out in Nevada this morning!
"I took REG and nailed the writing on the first sim, but bombed all the other tabs. I didn?t have time for the second sim. I was sure I was going to fail but got a 77?so there?s hope if you don?t do well on the sims." I did the exact same thing on my reg test, thought for sure I failed this one, but passed! That was a HARD test
Hi everybody. REG scores out in ca finally. I got an 80!!! Just need to get my bec score and I'm done!!! Shout out to all y'all who have been waiting for a long time.....
Congrats to all who passed! now if nasba will come through....
so nobody has any hope for reg tonight, from nasba states
IL Reg out. I passed. To all who passed-Congratulations. To those who failed on this window-NEVER QUIT.
i decided to hang out with friends last night...so i just woke up and checked my score AND I PASSED!!!!!! it's my last one! :D AUD 64,74,68*,81 FAR 68,59,76 BEC 80, 75 REG 77,77 the AUD caused me to retake BEC n' REG. but i'm glad that it's OVER after all these years!!!! thanks jeff for this blog. and thanks for everyone's support in the past week on this post as we went thru the waiting period... and thanks for everyone's word of encouragement in the past =D
IL reg is out...passed baby...one more left
From IL board of examiners "Electronic scores received at the Board of Examiners Released on line BEC -- 100% of total testing Thursday, May 14, 2009 AUD ? 63% of total testing (two releases to date) Tuesday, May 19, 2009 FAR ? 78% of total testing Tuesday, May 19, 2009 REG ? 100% of total testing Saturday, May 23, 2009" Does this mean there is hope for us NASBA states to get ours this weekend?
100% of REG scores released this morning in IL. Good Luck! No more AUD or FAR scores released. Appears we will be waiting until Wave 2.
Jeff from all of us want to tell you thank you for this very helpful and supporting website
So does the fact that 100% of scores are in mean that everyone that took REG from April 1 to May 7 will receive their score? Im not sure, but if that is the case, Ill gladly trade a week or so more for a 100% chance rather than a 75ish% chance. Thanks!
Good day in IL. Just got home from FAR (last one) to see my REG score. Goodbye library, hello summer!
I took FAR last week and it was very tough .My mcq was ok and i did both the simulation and i know most it was right but i didn't do well in communication part(i didn't leave it blank). Is it possible for me to pass?
Jeff, Any idea why those of us who took AUD in early April are being pushed back to wave 2? I sat for that exam on 4/3 in California and was just wondering how much longer I should expect the torture to continue. Thanks.
Absolutely FAR.
2 more to go
FAR...you will pass..take my word for it..
Prash: Thanks for your positive reply..Still i am checking whether my answers are right or wrong..i guess both of my simulation is right except very few mistakes .. When i took FAR last time i did really well in MCQ but not in simulation and left one communication.so,in my report it says i m stronger in mcq (on the whole) weaker in simulation and communication.That time i got only 69. This time i know for sure both my simulation is almost correct .I am still worried about my communication part even though i didn't leave it blank.. Mcq was really hard..i didn't come across those topics in BECKER.

I sat for AUD on april 1, and am still waiting for the score which is my last the section. It was my third time to take the exam. 73, 69. I don't even know if I want to see the score. Every day, when I check the score online, I am relieved becuase there is no news
Any rumors about the release dates for Wave 2? I'm taking my last part on May 30th and was wondering when I could expect to have my results.
Does anyone here remember scores ever coming from NASBA over weekends? Please NASBA.... have pity!
"The ?non-nasba? states receive grades from nasba?? No - they receive them from the AICPA...everyone gets them from the AICPA...NASBA just represents many state boards." "But its been 4 days since i got my AUD & BEC, i have not got FAR & REG? Any ideas?? Does that mean it would come up in the second wave?? Could u tell me tentative week they would release the second wave??FAR is probably Wave 2 - REG isn't out yet for NASBA. Is there any reason for me to be worried??? none at all "What about AUD people, Jeff? Wave 2 at this point??" yes - it looks like it "Jeff, do you think more AUD scores will be posted since they have only released 60 something percent?" I doubt it at this point "Passed AUD (TN)!!! Thanks Jeff for the site! One down, three to go!" Nicely done! "Jeff, this site has kept me sane?at least as sane as you can be while checking your scores 10 to 15 times per day" I appreciate hearing that. Thank you! "Should I appeal 74?" nope - don't even consider it...get a cram and get back in there and take it...I had 2 74's back to back...I looked into it - trust me "IF REG is released by AICPA tonight, isn?t it true that NASBA won?t start its preliminary processing until Tuesday, since they are closed on Monday for Memorial. This would mean that Tuesday night or Wednesday night would be our best bet. I realize their IT can upload on weekends, but the preliminary steps would require more staff huh?" correct - I don't think we'll see REG scores via NASBA until Tues or Wed...CA or IL releasing them has NOTHING to do with NASBA. "I think appeal it is waste of money" The AICPA stated in their interview with me that they had changed zero grades due to an appeal in 2008. "If NASBA really has REG scores, when can we expect to see them posted on the NASBA website?" Tuesday evening at the earliest "Honestly, you are doing a great job in helping out the CPA fraternity. It?s not a simple task to balance your job, family, friends and another71.com. Still, you manage to provide us the updates here and there to keep us in the loop." thank you! I can't always respond when people say nice things...it balances out the hate mail...haha...I can't always respond and say "thank you" but I do appreciate it "I wonder if ppl who didn?t get the score in the 1st wave still have a chance to get higher than 75% after the second wave. Please let me know if there is anyone who had this experience. I don?t wanna lose my hope." not getting your score in Wave 1 has nothing to do with your score...you may have gotten a new sim which would put you in Wave 2! "I?m taking AUD in a couple days (May 26). Any predictions for when the score would be released. Sorry for jumping ahead of REG folks still waiting!" I'll close down this post in a few days and put up a Wave 2 post...I'll write them soon "Is an ethics exam required in all states? Louisiana?" Call you state BOA and ask themor check their website...the only way to know for sure. "I took audit today. It was my last section. I finished it in 2.5 hours. Is that a bad sign?" People finish AUD half an hour to an hour early...2 hours is really early, but maybe you just knew your stuff "Jeff since CA received their REG scores, what are your thoughts on NASBA states release?!?!" Tuesday - they're not related in any way other than they got their scores at the same time. "does NASBA release scores on Saturday/Sunday?" yes "Jeff, any thoughts on receiving NASBA Reg scores tonight? If not tonight, what do you think about a Sunday release? Sorry to bug you on the weekend!" no problem at all...I do think it's Tuesday though "Sorry, I may be a little clueless on this but can you please explain the distinction between NASBA and non-NASBA state?" if you get your cpa exam core via NASBA.org - you're a NASBA state. If your state BOA uploads the scores independently on their own site or mails them - you're not a "NASBA state". "Jeff from all of us want to tell you thank you for this very helpful and supporting website" thank you! Please let me know if you see ways to improve it "Jeff from all of us want to tell you thank you for this very helpful and supporting website" taking it in early April or late April means nothing as far as Wave 1 or 2 goes...you're just one of the unlucky Wave 2 people
btw - I have a lot of e-mails to get to...if you sent me one...I'll try to get to it soon. -Jeff
I passed REG!!!! I'm so excited, that was my last one, and I finished the Ethics exam yesterday, so I'm done!! What do I do now??
Jeff, thank you so much for your reply to our questions.
hey mindy which state you apppeared for
"Anyone in MD receive REG yet? I don?t understand why CA always releases first. MD is not a nasba state so why can?t they release the same time??..not fair!" Not Yet! .... Tell me about it.
hi all, wiating for REG blahhh! --quick BEC question---will they give you factor tables related to the time value of money calcualtions? or do we have to calculate the factors on our own?
Any input from people who crammed for BEC. I take BEC the 5/31..one week from today. I have gotten through lectures but not all the homeworks. I have taken the week of study, is it possible for me to pass this exam within a week of cramming?
PA Reg - totally possible to cram and pass bec. I only had two weeks total to get through all the material and still passed. I would advise using the week to review and definitely do the homework. now back to my regularly scheduled whine... where is reg!!?!?
i have been waiting for REG forever now (NY) i have been obsessing over this website, i actually check the website before i even think of checking my grade... i check this website maybe 5 times a day get updated on all the posts.. and then check my grade on Nasba once a day late at night.... the process is ridiculous i cant deal with this much longer! i took REG 4/6 and FARE 5/18... im obviously dying for REG.. what is with this grading system, i cant deal with it anymore!!!!@!
anonymous, I'm in IL. Sorry for the delay, I went to bed after I posted!
I have still not received AUD scores in TX? Has anyone?
this is my last post untill tuesday evening. Finally, I've decided I will not check my reg score on nasba until tuesday evening. this is so frustrating...........
For those of you who took REG using Becker, I'm scheduled to take REG at noon on Sat., May 30. I've finished the lectures, homework, and progress tests for Ch. 1- 4, taxes. Just finished the Ch. 5 lecture. So, I have the Ch. 5 homework and everything for Ch. 6 & 7 left to study. Haven't done any supplemental Qs. Do you think I have enough time or should I reschedule? I have about 40 hours of reasonable study time available from now until Saturday. Thanks for your input!
Anonymous says: May 24, 2009 at 8:07 am I have still not received AUD scores in TX? Has anyone? If you have not receive your score by now, I am pretty sure Jeff has said AUD is done for wave 1. It appears that you are an unlucky wave 2 like myself. Took exam on 4/21 and will wait have to wait until wave 2 which more than likely will not be until sometime after Jun 15. Good luck anyway.
does anyone got 74 in audit? I was so pissed....
I am planning again in July
Congradulation for those who passed this window
?
Took AUD 4/4 in NJ, and haven't got my score. Don't know why. The Sim didn't seem weird or anything. Maybe it was just a new non-weird sim. Oh, well. I'm taking FAR on Tuesday, and I guess I'll be getting the two scores at the same time.
Is it me or dooes it seem a lower % of grades were released in this wave as compared to other ones. It seems lower than usual.
Just to all of those still waiting on Audit score this wave. I spoke with the NASBA rep from Ohio, who has provided me with very reliable information previously, and he said that they are supposed to receive some more Audit scores next week from the AICPA. He said if you aren't in that group next week, then you are definitely waiting until the 2nd wave.
I wonder if there is someone who took in the first wave and didn't get the score but passed REG, FAR or AUD later after the second wave. I took AUD on April 23rd and didnt get the score for some reasons yet. Please somebody tells me that it is not a bad sign.
In regards to if you have time to take reg on the 30th- I would say to try to take reg on the 30th then if you dont pass you can always retake it. Just use about half that time to finish up chapters 6 and 7. Then I would review everything by going over the book doing a practice test, and the supplemental questions (as much as you can). If there is anything you know you have down you can skip over it. Remember they say that the tax part covers two thirds of the exam. Hope that helps
That does not necessarily have anything to do with your score. It certainly does not mean that you failed.
Ernie-CA, I took AUD on 4/6, the same day as my husband. (AUD is the last for both of us) He got the score on 5/19 and I am STILL waiting. Probably I had new sim so got pushed to Wave 2. Good luck to both of us! I have been very cranky due to the wait...
hey jeff - I have a little dilema...I sat for 3 out 4 and passed. I have one more (REG) on May 30. I lose my credit for BEC on May 31. Will I lose my credit for BEC even if i pass REG..Also, I haven't takken the ethics exam - will that affect my credit?
The credit is based on the date taken. If you pass REG on May 30, you will retain your credit for BEC. When you pass a section the clock begins to run on the date (18 mos) taken.
Are the simulations for AUD easier than REG and FAR? That is what it seems at first glance of the Becker AUD simulations.
Is BEC adaptive.My 2nd testlet was easier,but the 3rd one had lots of calculations involved. When will wave 2 come out for BEC? Thanks Jeff!
Has anyone else experienced you not being able to use the research part to help gather information to use on the communications tab?
Is there anyone who knows the rules for Wisconsin? I took BEC in April and I still haven't received a score. I heard a rumor that Wisconsin doesn't release any of the scores until they are all completed, but I would think that BEC would be posted by now?? Thanks!
Hey- I can't believe we are still waiting for REG scores... I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I wanted to leave having passed. As for BEC, its not adaptive. I repeat not adaptive. The other three are (not including the Simulations). Good luck to everyone and I'm hoping we find out tonight but I know we won't.
Has anyone else experienced you not being able to use the research part to help gather information to use on the communications tab? In my experience, when i took the AUD, i tried the simple way by gathering information from the research tab and basically copying line by line except for some words that i changed to appear as if it was my own. I am pretty sure that i nailed the communication part... Unfortunately though, they didn't like that... I still passed with a grade of 82, because i was stronger with my MC and Simulations... i think i lost maybe 10 points because of the communication. They have graded my communication weaker while stronger for the other 2 categories.. Then when i took the FAR, i tried to answer the communication based on my knowledge, on my own, without even bothering looking at the research tab and they have graded my communication stronger and passed with a grade of 89. That's my two cents worth.....
how would you know whether they graded it weaker or stronger... i thought if you pass, they don't tell you your performance. They only tell you how you perform in each section when you fail.
RP- at least in CA candidates are provided a basic analysis of their performance. Besides your overall score you are provided with a score covering general topics that were covered in the test. Plus your performance is judged in terms relative to the average passing candidate. You are either "weaker" "comparable" or "stronger." So depending on your approach to the test you may have a rough idea of how your score was impacted by what did.
jp CA is correct RP...
From a previous post: "Just to all of those still waiting on Audit score this wave. I spoke with the NASBA rep from Ohio, who has provided me with very reliable information previously, and he said that they are supposed to receive some more Audit scores next week from the AICPA. He said if you aren?t in that group next week, then you are definitely waiting until the 2nd wave." Hopefully you are right! Jeff, any chance you might be able to look into this?
Anonymous's comments about communications kind scares me. I was able to pass my FAR with 84 without using research tab to do my communications. Then I heard it from a Becker classmate about this trick - find the answer in research tab. So on my AUD test, I did use this trick to do one of my communication - copied a lot from codes. I wouldn't find any answer for the 2nd communication and did waste some time. Though I am still waiting for AUD score now. Hope I will pass. If it's true that AICPA will grade communication lower if you are not using your own words, I better be careful on my next REG test. Do anybody have any thoughts?

MA REG is up. 88! I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GA REG is out
MO Reg is up! I passed!!!!
Looks like NASBA came through earlier than expected. Good stuff.
REG is up in PR!!! 83 :) Still waiting for AUD!!! one to go.
Anyone received NASBA-AUD score today? I saw someone contacted NASBA-Ohio re: AUD score release. I wonder when it would be. This wait is killing.
reg up in NY
85 REG in NJ!!!! One more to go(Fare) Congrats to all who achieved success and for those who fell short keep at it!
Got my Colorado score for Regulation: 88! BEC on Wednesday and I am (hopefully) done!
I got a 93 on REG in NY!!!! I'm so happy!!! Good luck to everyone else.
Still no REG in Oklahoma, I've never been more nervous to go to a website before. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow...
WOOHOO! Passed REG with a 78, now I need my papers congratulating me on passing all 4 parts to roll in.
Jeff, is it possible that REG would be up in some states and not others?
"Jeff, is it possible that REG would be up in some states and not others?" If you're a NASBA-releasing state - no...they release all at once. If you're an independent state, yes...still could be some straggler states.
I will leave this post open until I'm sure that Wave 1 is done and then close it and post Wave 2's predictions. Thanks for reading everyone, Jeff
wow, passed REG...cannot believe it! BEC & FAR left
Jeff, So if I my score is not up, does that just mean my state board is lazy? Or that I am Wave 2? Thanks Jeff, I am new at this (first exam score)
So, for all of you late night birds up and for some ungodly reason (like me) hitting the refresh button like nobody's business, I just checked and NASBA released PA REG tonight. Got my score and just barely passed. Thank god (it only took 3 tries). All I have left is audit on Wednesday. I hope you all luck out just as well.
I hitting the refresh button like crazy as well, but to no avail, it appears Oklahoma took the day off?
Tx has blocked access to candidate log in till 5:00 am so I'm hoping it means they are updating the scores!!!
OKpoke what exam u r waiting for? i am waiting for AUD as well from OK board, took my exam 4/21.
Waiting on REG, seems like NASBA posted all REG scores tonight (just not in OK). From what I gather, I would guess your AUD score is pushed into Wave 2. Jeff should be coming out with those expected release dates soon.
Still waiting in WA for REG.
Nasba Reg Is out for NH I pass Thank God i am done Aud 91 FAR 82 BEC 82 Reg 74,93 I was so angry when i fail REG but it taught me a valuable lesson of not taken any exam for granted. this time i studied REG completely and actually appreciated the course. many thank Jeff for this wonderful sight. Congrats to all who pass and those who did not pass this time dont give up. put in the time.
Many thanks for this wonderful site Jeff ( sorry) i guess all these exam has drive me crazy.
I meant to post last night, but GA (NASBA state) did post REG last night!!! :)
Oh thank god. 90 on REG.....how the _______ did I do that???
I took my REG exam on 04/03, but it's not showing up on the TX site. Has anyone in TX received their score? Thanks, in advance.
Yay! 89 on REG! Now only if I could get my AUD score, and I will be done!
85! So glad to be done. For those of you with sections remaining, this exam is nothing more than a test in perseverence. Unless youre in MENSA, you simply have to put in the time. There is no other way around it. That's the bad news, but the good news is that anyone who has taken the 150 hours with 30 of those from accounting can pass this exam if they put in the time and effort. All the best!
Actually, I don't think that even MENSA members would have an easy time with this exam. On this exam, general intelligence will not save you.
Just checked TX and no score yet...what in the world were they doing from 12 am to 5a,????????????????
has anyone in VA received REG score yet?
Donna, I think the Tx Bd website automatically does some sort of "maintenance" each morning from 3-5AM (on business days).
To all those who didn't think they did well in REG and haven't gotten their scores yet - MA scores came out last night- and I felt the same way as many of you and I got a 99! This was my last exam - Jeff, thanks so much for the site - you kept me as sane as possible during this process.
99? yIKES! darn near broke the thing. Nice job! -Jeff
Still no Florida AUD for me.
I just (8.00 AM Eastern)received by score online for REG (Delaware) - 91 To Erin: I thought I didn't do well at all when I got out of the exam, but amazingly, I passed. So there is hope for everyone. I thought the SIMS I got for the REG exam were either new or untested as I thought I didn't do well at all. So may be there is that "relative scoring" after all!!!!!!!! Good Luck to all who is waiting for their scores. I used only Wiley CPA books to study and passed REG, BEC and FAR comfortably with just that study material..
REG in GA is up. I missed earlier this year with a 74 and got the Yaeger cram to put me over the edge with an 80. For those who fell just short (70-74) I highly recommend the cram. I've got 3 down and 1 more to go...
Received my PA Reg score last night, I didn't complete any of Simulation 2 and scored a 92!!!
Just called the VA board (since you can't check the website...) passed REG with a 77!! Three down- waiting on FAR for wave two. SO excited.
Hurray !!!!!!! My REG results are out !! I got 77 !! Eagerly awaiting my FAR results.... My last one !!
Me too passed with 78 from CT!! Its a big relief.
Phew - just got REG. Third time turned out to be the charm - thank goodness as I dont think I could have continued if I had failed. I sit for BEC tomorrow and if I pass - I'm all done. If I don't pass -I lose credit for Audit which has me really worried. I'm so ready for this whole thing to be over. 4 kids, FT public accounting and CPA studying has about killed me.
*sigh of relief* MD REG is out. Somehow passed with an 84. I have now passed the CPA Exam; on to the take-home ethics course. Good luck to everyone else still awaiting scores!
Have anyone received Colorado AUD scores yet? waiting is killing me....
Jeff -- Any idea if FAR is out in Missouri? I took the test on 4/13 and still nothing? Thanks
REG is in, Jeff what's your prediction on wave 2 - I'm taking BEC this Sunday?
Donna - Still waiting on Texas REG over here too. I am thinking we will get them tomorrow! I hope!
Has anyone received scores from AUD in TX? I took my test 4/2
It is in. 91!!
Yea!MD REG is out! Thank god I passed! but still no Audit.
WOOOOHOOOO! Passed REG with an 88, 3 down last one FAR taking in July. Passing a section definitely motivates me to get this thing done. Congratulations to all who passed, and good luck to everyone waiting and to people who couldn't make it this time believe in yourself and handle this beast and you all will be dont soon!
confirming what others reported, MD reg is out this am
I believe Jeff said if you are still waiting on FAR you are in second wave. It seems like a lot of people are waiting on FAR I took it 4/29 in WI and still waiting.
Please let us know if anyone get AUD score this week.
86 on REG! One more to go! Thanks Jeff for the site. I found it two weeks ago and it enabled me to get through waiting for my score.
74 on REG...wooohooo!!!! Failed Again....and to top it off FAR expires next month during the closed window....YES!
Third time taking REG - 76. That was the last section! It has been a long road over the past three years. After passing BEC right out of college, I really struggled with FAR and REG, managed to have BEC expire and my AUD was set to expire next month. This really was my last shot. Congratulations to everyone who received good news today and for those of you who are still working at it, keep studying hard and you will get it.
Is there anyone who knows the rules for Wisconsin? I took BEC in April and I still haven?t received a score. I heard a rumor that Wisconsin doesn?t release any of the scores until they are all completed, but I would think that BEC would be posted by now?? Thanks!
Still waiting on REG in TX......... I took REG on 4/11. Any Texas scores out for REG?
Anyone from Texas get their REG score yet?
Failed REG...I used Becker this time. Any suggestions on what to use to review for next time?
anonymous who failed reg. My suggestion is use becker but make flash cards!! Make a flash card for every concept and review the flash cards every day. You may end up with a crap load of flash cards but then towards the end you can weed out the cards that you know well and focus on the concepts you need help on. In addition do every question on the becker cd at least twice. Keep at it, it will happen.
Use Wiley book, create your own flashcards, and use Yaeger Cram. That is how I passed 3 out 4 scections
I just got off the phone with some folks at the CPA exam services. I am waiting on FAR in WI I took it on 4/29. The first person I spoke with who was not responsible for my state who told me "to go enjoy a good dinner" I hope that means I can pay for the dinner with my CPA raise. Furthermore and more importantly he transferred me to the Wisconsin person who told me that WI scores are not being verified at this time because scores for WI are not released until all scores are in. And they should be available late this week or early next week. So for all my WI friends out there might as well kick back and have a cold one we have more time to wait for official word.
NJ Reg is Up
did anyone take BEc and study only for one day and pass??? help my test is tomorrow. havent even opened the book. Too many things going on :(
Jeff, any word on AUD score. Does the wave 1 is all done or we may have few scores coming out this week. Any guidence will be greatly appreciated.
Izabella, you should probably reschedule the exam. One day is not enough time for studying. It's better to go in there prepared.
Thank you for your reply.. the only problem is that my NTS is expiring. so i figured i might as well take it.. if i fail i could always retake the test.
I'm awaiting word on whether or not Wave 1 is closed or if more scores are expected...I'll update when I find out...
I studied for 3 days and passed REG... if you have a business background it is possible. Study the IT section as that isnt intuitive.
I meant BEC, not REG:)
61 in LA :( I am so bummed. I just wanted to pass ONE! Any one would do. I guess I still have a BEC score to look forward to. But 2 71's and a 61 aren't giving me much hope for that one either. Yaeger FAR will be here this afternoon. So I start over but I don't quit!
Called the VA Board and they gave me the good news on the telephone, I passed REG which means I am finished! Best of luck to those with sections remaining, hard work will put you over the top.
Still no audit in California...took the test on 4/6. Getting really frustrated now...
Anyone heard anything for REG in TN yet?
Took FAR on 5/3 in NYC, score out already on NASBA, passed with a 82. Taking BEC this Thursday, studied for about 3 weeks, what sections should I focus on?
ok so i guess i will just try to study what i can and see what happens. What do u recommend other than IT in BEC.. ( i find IT stuff easy)
Passed Reg in Oklahoma.
Just an FYI... I'm in Mississippi, and received my Audit score last Thursday/Friday (not exactly sure which day) in the mail, via USPS. So at least some of the audit scores have been out for nearly 1 1/2 weeks, for us to get them through snail-mail. Hopefully there are still more to come, though. I would hate to wait for another month before I received a score!!! Good luck, guys!
Izabella, I am sorry to rain on you here but I don't know if anyone can really answer that question on what to focus on while staying within the rules. I realize that there is so much info out there I would suggest reading the books. skim it and look for stuff you don't know. Good luck I have heard it is possible and when you do it it will be one hell of a story to tell on here in 2 weeks! Take care!
88 on reg in pa! waiting on bec and taking audit tomorrow
Yeah, I thought you lied before . . . I dont think 3 days is possible for REG. For BEC maybe, I studied over the weekend and I scored 72
"So if I my score is not up, does that just mean my state board is lazy? Or that I am Wave 2? Thanks Jeff, I am new at this (first exam score)" I don't know...if other people from your state have their scores...you're Wave 2...still waiting to hear if Wave 1 is complete.
To blbennett32 FAR has been posted for Missouri. You could be in Wave 2.
Hey Jeff, Do you happen to have any information on Wave 2 Score Releases? It seems like Wave 1 scores were released about 15-20 days following April, would it be safe to assume that we could expect Wave 2 scores mid June? Again, thanks so much for all of the information - this site is a great resource and is quite addicting ;)
Jim - Wave 2 will be around mid-June just like April...I put the Wave 2 post out within a day or so...as soon as Wave 1 is confirmed to be over. (thanks for reading, btw)
Confirmed: Wave 1 is complete.
I took FARE on May 4. My score hasn't been released yet which means taht i wasn't in the first wave?
Jean, I'm afraid so. I had a co-worker wait 11 weeks for his score once...brutal.
Jeff, I got a 74 three times in a row for Reg. Is there any point is going through a score appeal process. I'm really frustrated as this is my last part.
Did anyone received AUD in WI? I took it on 4/20 and no feedback yet...
Lisa - the appeal process isn't worth it and it's a waste of money. I looked into it...you would have your next score before they looked at your current score. According to the AICPA in my interview - zero grades changed due to appeal in 2008. After two 74s on REG - I got the Yaeger HomeStudy and finally passed it (92)...you might consider it. -Jeff
Jeff, Quick question/request. If I took Audit on 4/3/09 in Illinois and have not received my score, I'm sure it will be released in Wave 2, as you have informed us. My question, can you or do you know if there is any differentiation between my score being released and say that of someone who truly took their exam in Wave 2? As in, will they release my score in June (earlier, or with like per say, BEC scores - sooner since, they have the score), or actually wait to release my score with the rest of the Audit scores in Wave 2, whenever that release is made? Thanks for all of your help, this site is a blessing.
For those in states who haven't discovered the uses of the internet, I received my FAR score today via USPS - 88! Sat for it 4/13.
called texas state board, they have not released any reg scores for wave 1 or received any. Is it possible they could release them soon?
IL - you won't get your AUD score until the Wave 2 AUD release happens...when they release a section in Wave 2 - it's everyone - Wave 1 and 2 people together. Even though there will be BEC people who only took BEC a few weeks earlier - they will get their score in Wave 2 before you do...that's just how it works, unfortunately.
Ok. Thanks for your input.
Hey all Texas wave 1 people, I spoke with the board this afternoon and they said that they were still receiving REG scores from NASBA. The rep said that she did not know when the scores will be posted to the website. I'm guessing that thats her default answer...but I have a feeling that REG scores will be posted tonight or tomorrow.
Anyone received their REG score in WA? Does any other state use Castle Worldwide to release scores rather than NASBA website. Historically Castle's releases fall real close with Jeff's predictions but no REG yet.
Jeff: Now that wave 1 is unfortunately over, what are the predictions for wave 2. I am expect FAR (last paper) in MA
80 on REG on Oklahoma, great motivation for BEC Friday!
Thanks for keeping us updated, Jeff. Anxiously awaiting Wave 2 dates. (As are my poor bitten fingernails....) BTW, I liked 100 posts per page better. It's too difficult to follow a question-answer sequence with only 10 per page.
Thanks for letting me know Nan...I was experimenting with 10...it allows people to keep track of what page they were on instead of trying to find the last post they read in a sea of 100 posts. I'm just trying it...if too many people hate it, I'll change it back.
I agree with NAN
Just talked to NASBA rep regarding OH-Aud. I am not sure about other states but he said 1st wave for AUD will be still going on till the first week of June and might want to check the score tomorrow and this Friday. He said next week is still in play. I am just keeping my fingers crossed.
I will be around less since I am DONE, but I agree with Nan. Just my 2 cents.
i agree with Nan too.. sorry Jeff
Just talked to NASBA rep regarding OH-Aud. I am not sure about other states but he said 1st wave for AUD will be still going on till the first week of June and might want to check the score tomorrow and this Friday. He said next week is still in play. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. This person was trying to help you...but they're wrong...100% sure Wave 1 is finished.
I was told the same thing for Wave 1 AUD in Ohio. The rep I spoke with told me he knew for a fact that they were receiving more scores THIS week.....Not questioning the information you have provided to us Jeff, that is just the info passed along to me by the NASBA rep. Also, I checked today, and my scores from past windows which had still been up previously have disappeared. Hopeful I may get something tonight!
anyone wanna bet ?? :)
I switched it back...thank you for the input!
A big pass for REG,,yay~~~~!~~~~More motivation for BEC !
"anonymous - I was told the same thing for Wave 1 AUD in Ohio. The rep I spoke with told me he knew for a fact that they were receiving more scores THIS week?..Not questioning the information you have provided to us Jeff, that is just the info passed along to me by the NASBA rep. Also, I checked today, and my scores from past windows which had still been up previously have disappeared. Hopeful I may get something tonight!" I was wondering the same thing too. I wasn't able to see my old scores last few times when they were updating the scores. Then got back when people start to post score release. I believe those were missing since last Saturday night. Hope this is a sign for the update. Jeff - I know you said 1st wave is done but do you know it is for all of the NASBA states? I am wondering if NASBA do the process per state basis. I'm thinking you, Jeff, are probably right but don't want to give up my hope till next week.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get scores if scores are mailed only? (no website to check) Wondering how long I should be anxiously looking into the mailbox before resigning that my FAR score (taken 4/23) will not be there until mid-late June.
I took AUD on April 6th and am still waiting for my score...impatiently. This is so frustrating!!! I can't believe it takes this long.
I've called NASBA 3 separate times, and each person I spoke with gave me a different answer about when I can expect my test results... I took the BEC exam in Wisconsin on April 18th and one person from NASBA told me that Wisconsin waits for all test results, so we should be seeing something by the end of the month or early next month, another person from NASBA said that all of the test results are in for BEC, so I have to wait until the third week in June because I am in wave 2, and a third person from NASBA said that it could be anytime within the next month or two until I receive the results......does anyone have any valid insight for Wisco?? Seriously, does it really take 3 months to grade a 90 question multiple choice test??
Any scores from Texas for REG?
Pam, I hope we get them tomorrow! Usually, Texas is only 1-2 days after IL releases. :-/
So I failed REG and my husband asks why I didn't study. I guess people who don't go through tax season don't understand that it is already difficult enough to have to work 60+ hrs a week and try to find time to do anything else. Especially when you add on Board meetings for an organization I'm on the Board of and training for a half marathon. I didn't have much of a choice but to take the exam at the end of tax season because my 6 month window was expiring so I crammed the weekend before and ended up failing. What else was I supposed to do? It's hard working in public accounting and having to manage clients and staff all day with a significant workload during tax season so it's unfair that someone that has never been through it would say something like that. I guess he just doesn't get it and never will!
"AL FAR says: Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get scores if scores are mailed only? (no website to check)." Al, NASBA mailed my BEC score one business day after it was released (I checked the postmark date), and the letter took another two days to arrive. With FAR Wave 1 being released last Thursday, the mailed-out reports should be arriving between now and this Thursday. Of course, sometimes the USPS mis-routes the mail I've sent out myself. I could tell you horror stories about lost, damaged, and mis-directed mail. If you don't have a letter in hand by Friday you might consider calling NASBA.
Has anyone out there passed a section of the exam but didn't finish it?
Let me clarify my question: has anyone been working on a simulation and it timed out in the middle of it (so you didn't finish), but you still received a passing score?
Jeff, What about the rest of FAR, do you predict that to be in Wave 2 like you do audit??
"Anonymous says: at 5:09 pm Let me clarify my question: has anyone been working on a simulation and it timed out in the middle of it (so you didn?t finish), but you still received a passing score?" I didn't finish my 2nd simulation for FAR. I completely didn't do the research tab, and I left 1/2 of another tab blank. I passed with a 93.
"I didn?t finish my 2nd simulation for FAR. I completely didn?t do the research tab, and I left 1/2 of another tab blank. I passed with a 93." Wow! That is impressive.
83 on REG Wohoo!!!
Anonymous says: May 26, 2009 at 5:21 pm "Wow! That is impressive." Trust me, I was surprised too! Maybe that simulation was a "test" sim that got thrown out.
has anyone got texas scores?
To those with online scoring....be very thankful that you have it! I'm in Alabama (no online posting) and waiting on BEC and REG scores. The State Board in AL says I am on the list for early release for both parts. Come on June 5th....at least I'll know my destiny. Until then I'll continue to have panic attacks thinking about it. I already have FAR and AUD but lose FAR if I didn't pass both of these.
"Trust me, I was surprised too! Maybe that simulation was a ?test? sim that got thrown out" I didn't realize there were test simulations.
Praise the Lord!!! I passed REG (Michigan) and am done with the exam! My 50 birthday is in July and I have achieved my goal! I am so happy and feel so blessed. I wish I would have found this website before 2 months ago. It is awesome and a great support system for CPA candidates. Thanks Jeff. ...........and I didn't even think about the exam score all weekend and enjoyed spending time with my 8 month old grandson. :-)
Does your score on MCs affect the way your Simulations are graded. I read these stories about people who only complete one sim and still score in the 90s.
Has anyone got FARE scores from CA board? I am getting impatient here! I really don't know where to look - this is my first ever CPA exam. please help!
hey Jeff this is really urgent i am regd with the Colorado board and on the 14th of may i saw my BEC test score online for which i had appeared on the 8th of may and now when i punch in the section id n birth date, my score doesn't show! what does this mean? any idea? anyone?
Jeff, thank you so much for the site, I just discovered it last week, just in time to anxiously await my REG score today (1st test) and I passed! I am so excited and ready for more now. Thanks Jeff and keep up the good work!
kush nj, No worries, sometimes scores disappear as the website is being updated. A few others have had the same issue.
oh! so this means the score is still intact. by when could i expect the score mail from the board? any clue dave?

wow!! lisa you seriously have not only successfully cleared the CPA test! but also succeeded in providing us a whole lotta inspiration to complete the course as Divya rightly said! seriously i mean... hats off to u! god bless. and a happy birthday in advance!
Hi Jeff !!! I took my exams in Los Angeles and registered with the COLORADO board. I took my exams on April 1, 2 & 3. I have got the scores for (1) BEC (2) AUD (3) REG But the FAR which i took on April 2, is still not out... Any ideas on what it means???
Well done Lisa, CPA...you're awesome! Kush - as others have said...no worries...I have yet to hear of someone's score appearing...disappearing...and then changing. Suneel - it is probably due to you getting a new simulation...which automatically puts you in Wave 2. OKpoke...I was just in Edmond this past weekend...random fact. Congrats on REG..bet it feels good getting that beast behind you. re: "test" sims...there are no "test" sims...there may be some "test" tabs on a sim...and one written communication is not graded...but both sims count.
thanks Jeff i rechecked it now and it appeared! and it did not change =(
Hi, Lisa! At last - someone else my age! I turned 50 this past January. Congrats on passing. I'm awaiting my REG score in Wave 2. It's my last section too.
I'm briefly mentioned in an article published today by the AICPA's CPA Insider...you might find it interesting... https://www.cpa2biz.com/Content/media/PRODUCER_CONTENT/Newsletters/Articles_2009/CPA/May/Twitter.jsp
I took REG 4/17 and passed it. But still waiting for audit 5/7.. which is killing me..
Anonymous says: May 26, 2009 at 6:55 pm Has anyone got FARE scores from CA board? I am getting impatient here! I really don?t know where to look - this is my first ever CPA exam. please help! Scores for CA FAR that came out in Wave 1 are out, they came out last week. You were bumped to Wave 2. So was I. This is your first and my last . . . it sucks, eh? Oh well . . . just keep studying for your next one and circle back to FAR if you don't pass. You can't wait for your scores to be published before moving on to the next exam, you'll end up having your 18-month window expire if you have to retake more than one or two . . . and you don't want to do that if you can help it. So . . . I'm back to waiting for another 4 weeks. Ugh. Passed AUD, then REG, then BEC and then CA Ethics while I am waiting for FAR . . . . and we wait . . . .
Per the Ohio Audit discussions above, I noticed that my scores from the Jan/Feb testing window also disappeared this past weekend. Mine disappeared around 11pm on Friday night. I have not received my Audit score yet (sat for it on 5/2), and Jeff - I believe you that we will have to wait until wave 2, but I'm checking everyday just in case. I really don't want to wait another month. :( Also - for those of you who are compulsive checkers like me, you may want to check out Internet Owl. It's a free download and will tell you when a website has changed and can even send you an e-mail when a change has occured. I have it checking my score every hour just in case.
When can those of us that just took the exam expect to see our scores on nasba.org? Thanks.
This is for audit.
I just received my CA- Audit score on 5/26... a freakken 74!@?#?!@#?!#@?!#?!#?! that hurts
I got an advisory score in TX..... 79!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now just waiting for AUD!!
I don't even know what an Advisory Score is. "On 5/26/2009 the Board received an advisory score of 98. The score is being validated." BUT I HOPE IT DOESN'T CHANGE!
123 says: May 26, 2009 at 10:10 pm When can those of us that just took the exam expect to see our scores on nasba.org? Thanks. I saw my score (REG) yesterday morning at nasba.org. I took it April 1st in Michigan.
I got an advisory score in TX?.. 79!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now just waiting for AUD!! How did you check your REG advisory score? On the website?
Me too! 83! What an awesome feeling!
A-TX REG, You have to go to "Review your CPA Exam Testing Activities," and click on "REG." It should say that your score was received on the 26th, but is being validated.
On 5/26/2009 the Board received an advisory score of 84. The score is being validated. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
I just looked on the Texas board, it said I received an advisory score of 83 for REG on 5/26. Do advisory scores ever change?
I just checked the Texas site and my REG score is not posted. I took it on 4/11. I wonder if they update during the day?
Does anyone know if TX has released any AUD scores?
Where are the WAVE 2 release date predictions? :) I just took AUD on May 26.
Thanks CA-FAR, Just one last question. How does CA-Board release their scores? I checked my account and it shows no credit. I took my FARE paper on April 11... Do they send the score report by USPS?
Aaron - Jeff said yesterday that wave 2 prediction will be available in a couple of day.
Has anyone ever seen an advisory score changed?
I'll get Wave 2 up today around lunch time hopefully.

Thank you for this amazing website. It really got me through! I'm finished with CPA forever and luckily the first time through! REG-91 FAR-88 BEC-90 AUD-85
Congrats on passing all four the first time..those are excellent scores! -Jeff
Hey Jeff - I just took BEC today - any idea (guesstimate) how long it will take to receive my score? Its hopefully my last section so was just wondering what you thought.
People in TX waiting for their Reg scores- If you look on the tsbpa website and click on REG, it will show you what your tentative score is. It is waiting to be validated but I called the board and they said that score usually never changes. It's been a long wait but alas, it's finally here! Good Luck!!
Anyone receive any scores from Wisconsin?? I took BEC on 4/18 and still nothing!! Thanks!
I just realized that I cannot account for what happened last week . . . delayed report . . . missed deadlines. . . what happened? Ans = Jeff's + NASBA's fault - I spent most of the time checking result and reading comments here. Still I did not get my FAR result - its the last part for me. Now playing catch-up at work today. My third testlet was very weird - strange questions that I dont know whether they are CPA questions or some Psychology questions that got mixed up with FAR (for real) and to add insult to injury my exam was interrupted briefly by network failure . . . Jeff, thanks for this website. Please post the guestimates for 2nd wave, it will probably keep me sane.
Can anyone see Jan/Feb window scores on NASBA now? I know couple people from Ohio saying they can't see their Jan/Feb. How about other states, can you guys still see your old scores on NASBA?
I took FAR on 4/6 yet, until today I have not yet received my score on CPA CA webpage.... Anyone out there got info? Or just me ~~
Leanne from WI: I took BEC on 4/9 and have not received my score yet. I know two other people who took BEC and REG between 4/3 and 4/8 and they have not received their scores either. One of the girls emailed the WI exam coordinator today and received the following response: "Scores from the first set received are due to be released at the beginning of next week as long as all scores have been received." So, hopefully early next week, we will have them....I understand your frustration!
I just looked at the TX website under the text for REG and my tenative score is 74 and my last time was 72. Do they ever raise the grade to a 75 during validation?
Wave One is complete and comments on this post are now closed. Please continue the discussion at the Wave 2 predictions page. https://www.another71.com/2009/05/cpa-exam-score-release-april-may-2009-window-wave-2.html Thank you for reading and contributing to the discussion. -Jeff
Waiting on AUD score in GA - Took it on April 14.
I took AUD in early April in NYC and I registered in AK. I am still waiting for the result.
Has anyone in PA received AUD results?
I took AUD on 04/23 in Georgia and am waiting for my score too - anyone in Georgia receive theirs yet? I am getting neurotic waiting. Any thoughts?
I took FAR on April 6th as well and have not received my score yet! It's so frustrating because I check everyday and get disappointed!
I just found this website and I am glad that I am not the only checking the NASBA website like a maniac! I took the AUD exam on April 21 in GA and still no scores. Anybody know when we can expect them????
Is there anyone who haven't received score report form 1st Wave? I took my exam early April and I was able to check my advisory score online, but I haven't gotten my report yet.
Hi Liz - I don't think that we receive the report until September (atleast for Georgia). I could be wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere.
bec/bec/bec?
autit/bec 74
anybody receive scores back from wave 2 yet? i'm a ND candidate and am waiting on AUD and FAR results. i will be done if i pass both. crossing my fingers and checking my email every 5 minutes!

I took AUD in wave 2 and haven't received notice yet. Been also checking the NASBA website about 5 times a day this week. Keeping my fingers crossed.....
Can you check advisory scores for Wisconsin???
Still waiting for my AUD score in Hawaii... Does anyone know when it'll be released?
So if I am sceduled to take FAR on 7/9/09, I will for sure be in wave 2??? I am wondering if I should try and change my exam to the 6th or 7th of July so I have a chance to make wave 1.
7-9 would be Wave 2, yes
So i just recieved my scores for BEC, and REG. I failed both and i'm extremely dissapointed. I got a 67 on BEC and a 72 on Reg. I took a becker Cpa review course and felt like i really put in the time an effort.
I really dont' know what to do..... I"m an "A" student master's in hand with honors......
I feel so much like a dissapointment.
Hang in there...it's frustrating I know. Many people are in your shoes at this very moment.

If you are being completely honest with yourself and believe you put in the required time then you need new review material. However, I have a feeling you are not being completely honest with yourself.
I'm a "B" student, I consider myself an extremely below average standardized test taker, I have no masters and I have no work experience. All I have used is the Becker CPA review materials but I study my butt off. I passed audit with a high score and I'm taking BEC next week which I feel even more prepared than when I took audit. Granted I only have these two tests to show for but all I'm saying is that you need to give a 100% while you're studying and you should pass.

Hi, I don't normally publish comments on blogs, as I like to read only. But I find the article that you've written earlier has very insightful info, and I find it very informational. Anyway, I'm questioning whether or not you're open for link change, as I hope that we can agree on a mutual hyperlink alternate agreement. Hope to hear a positive reply from you, and have an important day!
