I know I posted this in another tread but I just wanted to throw it out there because I am really interested in the answer.

If my REG expires 1/31/14 and I am planning on taking the last part of the exam in early Jan 2014, will my REG score still expire? The only reason I ask is because we will not get our score releases till the beginning of FEB. So will I have considered to have passed all 4 parts when I pass the last one? Thanks

if you take your last part (and pass) before January 31st, you are good to go. Doesn't matter when the score is released, it matters when nasba/your state board/whatnot receives your test

Thanks gsnyder00,

don't think that's fair at all but whatever. You would think the state board would just look at when you took the test. Guess i'll try to take it in late Nov. Thanks

The state board does just look at when you took the test….I think you misunderstood. You can take it in January and it doesn't matter when you get the score back as long as you pass.

Hey mla1169,

just got back from lunch and saw your post. So you're saying that if I take it Jan 5 or so and pass my REG won't expire when I get my score. (sorry for being thick I guess I just don't get it)

sorry if my explanation wasnt clear. if you take it anytime before January 31st and pass, your REG credit will not expire. so yes, taking it in early January is ok

Yes, technically you can take it up until the date it expires (you could take it on Jan 31) but most people say to shoot for the day before (Jan 30) at the latest.

In some states (CA) your REG will show as “expired” on the website as you are waiting for scores, but they reinstate it to a PASS status when they receive your passing score.
