Found this post to help those out on the loophole – must use OH:
Who does this work for? — NASBA Candidates who have past three parts and are waiting on the score for their fourth
When does it work? — After the AICPA has released your score to NASBA, but before NASBA has released your score.
How does it work?
1) Go to NASBA.ORG –> Exams –> CPA Exam
2) Select OHIO and click “go”
3) Click “Re-Exam Registration”
4) Click “Apply Now”
5) Click “Continue”
6) Choose “No” for “Do you have an OHIO jurisdiction ID”…since you are not from OHIO
7) Choose “Yes” for “Do you have a US SSN”
8) Click Submit
9) Type in the CAPTCHA letters, your Birth Date, and your SSN
10) Click submit
11a) If you receive the following message, the theory is that you passed:
“We are sorry. Our system shows that you have already passed all parts of the Uniform CPA Examination. If you have questions, please call your Coordinator at the number given below. Please call the number below.
800-CPA-EXAM
615-880-4250″
11b) If you do not get this message and it lets you proceed, the theory is that you did not pass.
Does it always work? — Nobody knows. But it does NOT seem to work for ALL NASBA states.
Does it work at ALL? — If history is a guide from what I have read, everyone who got the message passed.
If you have different results, please share. Or correct me if I am mistaken.
Thanks to whoever originally found this out! I hope it holds true for me!
