Does anyone else feel like this is the longest week ever? I am so anxious to get my first score………!

connieCPAin2010 – The calm before the storm, I mean the week before the release always feel like that. This will be my sixth release since I had to go through two to get my first AUD score and hopefully my last. Just try to focus on your current exam or your studying will suffer since you have no control over the release dates. At least there is a 99.9% certainty that you should get your BEC score in wave 1 and not get bump to wave 2 like many other candidates will with the other exam. Good Luck on your BEC and your REG study.

The most frustrating thing about waiting for BEC results is the exam takes 30 seconds to grade..

I just had my 5th interview for a manager position at a management consulting firm… everything is going good its just the economy is so bad here companies are really taking a long time to make a decision and will interview forever.. A few interviews ago I was told they had received 200 resumes from qualified staff (probably 200 more from unqualified staff). I'm sure a lot of those people are overqualified which is good because companies know that if you hire someone overqualified they will jump ship as soon as the economy shows light. All of my meetings have went really well and I've followed up with some great reassuring emails, but the suspense is killing me. I find myself visiting this website frequently hoping that someone blogs “BEC SCORES ARE UP”. Thankfully I'm studying for Audit right now and I worked in internal and external audit so its not too intense.. If I was studying for REG I don't think I'd be the best person to be around haha. Do you think the people who issue the test, decide when to release, etc… know what they are doing to us!!!!????

FAR 11/13 - 78, BEC 1/13 - 82, AUD 2/23 - 94, REG 5/15 - 86

Yes, I think the examiners take great joy in the torture they put us through with the waiting. LOL Especially for BEC!…we should know our score when we walk out of the testing center.

skiw97- 5th interview sounds like they are very interested! Best of luck.

They can't because it is depended on how everyone else does

CPA EXAM - Passed

But if the test isn't “curved”, then why is that the case?

From my AICPA interview:

BEC – Why the wait?

another71.com: A widely held frustration among people who sit for BEC is that they don’t get their score right away. Since there are no subjective elements to BEC since it is 100 percent multiple choice (currently), why is a candidate not given at least a “preliminary” score with the caveat that it is subject to review?

AICPA: Scores — even preliminary ones — cannot be released without state board review and the application of standard quality control procedures. For these reasons, issuing scores at test centers is impractical and the possibility is not being considered.

They release the grades in waves, correct? Therefore you are on the same field as sum1 who could have taken the test weeks after you in terms of when you see your grade. But..the board must also review the test and any responses from all candidates in that way about possible bad questions that may need to be looked at or thrown out that would ultimately change your score. this is another reason for the wait.

Thanks Jeff. I've really enjoyed this forum for the past 6 months. Can't wait til they release BEC.

AUD 87 - REG 93 - FAR - 94 - BEC 2/6/10

Thanks Joran…hope you have your BEC score by Monday evening via NASBA. We'll see what Friday brings…

[Anonymous]

I'm too excited to work! I really hope the prediction for tomorrow corresponds to the actual score release! I'm not in a NASBA release state, so I'm hoping to hear good news Saturday 🙂 AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Good luck again to everyone waiting for scores! I hope by this time next week we'll all have celebrated after getting our passing scores.

[katiem13]

I am so nervous to find out on Monday (hopefully)! This would be my last test . . . I passed all the others on the first try but don't have as much confidence on this one. And it doesn't help that I keep having a dream that I get a 69 . . . Oh only time will tell!

Good luck to everyone!!!

AUD-98 FAR-82 REG-92 BEC-82 DONE!!!!

[Anonymous]

with your lowest score at a 82 with a 92 and 98, im pretty sure you passed bec which at least to me, was the easiest exam. GL!

[Anonymous]
