Is a CPA Exam Score Review or Appeal Worth It?
A CPA Exam score appeal is not worth it.
If you've read My Story, you might remember that I had back-to-back 74s on Regulation (and wanted to rip my hair out – which, looking back, now that I'm in my 40s, I'm glad I didn't).
Not only did I have two 74s in a row, but I also lost my FAR credit.
My CPA Study Planner was born out of these struggles.
Desperate for any type of remedy that would save me from going from one “point” away from passing the CPA Exam back to only two sections passed, I looked into a CPA Exam score review (because surely there was something that could be fixed, right?).
What I found is this: by the time I paid for the appeal, and they looked into it, ultimately coming back with a “sorry, kid – better luck next time,” I could have re-studied, retaken my exam, and gotten my score back.
In 10+ years of helping people pass the CPA Exam full-time, I've never heard of a successful score review – and hundreds of thousands of CPA candidates have walked these halls over the years.
A better plan is to re-study after failing, getting back in there, and punching the CPA Exam in the face.
Also, supplementing with fresh CPA Study Materials may be in order.
When do CPA Exam scores come out?
CPA Exam scores are released on a schedule set by the AICPA, not on a rolling basis. For the core sections (FAR, AUD, REG), scores usually post one to three weeks after the exam date cutoff for your testing window. For the discipline sections (BAR, TCP, ISC), scores are released quarterly, so the wait is longer. The full 2026 and 2027 CPA Exam score release calendar is on this page.
What time are CPA Exam scores released?
There is no guaranteed release time. NASBA typically posts scores in the overnight or early morning hours Eastern time on the release date, and candidates often report seeing scores the evening before the published date. The AICPA does not commit to a specific hour, so refreshing your NASBA CPA Central account every ten minutes will not make it faster.
Which states release CPA scores through NASBA?
Almost all of them. The only exceptions are California, Illinois, and Maryland, which release CPA Exam scores through their own state board of accountancy websites. If you sat in any other jurisdiction, your score will show up in your NASBA CPA Central account on the scheduled release date.
Is a CPA Exam score review worth it?
No. In over ten years of helping candidates pass the CPA Exam full time, I have never heard of a successful score review. By the time you pay for the appeal and they finish reviewing it, you could have re-studied, retaken the section, and already gotten your score back. If you got a 74, the faster path is to re-study your weak areas and sit again.
To Your Success,
