Just thought I’d start the update for when anyone sees any WI scores show up…

[WICPAMKE]

07STI – Sure, take a look at the other forums. You will see that WI is the only state that holds all scores until all four sections are in. As for not receiving them until January, that did not come from me. Someone else posted that in the FAR forum. They said they talked to Geneva who is the WI Nasba rep. I am still holding out hope we receive them before Christmas. If they made us wait until after that would be down right cruel.

[07STI]

Okay, I'll just keep checking. I might email Geneva tomorrow and lay into her a little. Not to be mean, but just let her know that we're all a little frustrated and would like an idea on the timing. I've emailed her in the past and the majority of the time she doesn't even respond.

BTW 07STI, I am waiting for REG myself, not audit.

[07STI]

I'm waiting for FAR and was thinking it would be released tonight. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait another few days…hopefully.

[07STI]

Has anyone checked with Jeff to see whether he knows anything about the release times for WI scores?

Jeff posted on Twitter: “Wisconsin is unique – they make CPA Exam candidates wait until ALL scores for the Wave are received… “

I e-mailed Geneva and will post if I get any kind of response. If she doesn't respond by tomorrow afternoon I will call. I have been waiting long enough! I can't take the suspense!

[WICPAMKE]

That's not a bad idea…the worst part is not the waiting longer than other states, rather it is not knowing why. I don't understand why NASBA's WI rep can't just give us an explanation of why they wait until all scores are in. If we get Jeff on our side he might be able to put some presure on WI to fall in line with the other states or at least explaining their logic!

[WICPAMKE]

When you email Geneva you should include a link to this forum so she can see the effect she is having on all of us!

[07STI]

Even if we can get enough people emailing Geneva, or someone above her, it wouldn't hurt for getting something in motion to get scores more timely. It really doesn't make any sense.

Forgive me, but I'm just picturing someone receiving all the scores for the respective sections and just sitting their playing games on their computer. The scores are piling up in their inbox (email or actual mailbox), until they decide to “get around” to posting the scores. Every time they get an email they just get annoyed that we're bothering their game playing, or whatever it is they do.

[WICPAMKE]

Haha, that's probably what they are doing, and why they are working there rather than having a real job like us!

[07STI]

I'm starting to regret finding this website. I was really hoping to get my score tonight and know whether REG is my final section on January 4th. Now I'll continue checking for my score instead of focusing on REG…Lost credit for REG, which is the very first exam I took and the only exam I've studied more than 75% of the material 🙂 Anyway, I'm logging off for the night. Good luck to the fellow WI people. Hopefully we hear by tomorrow night, as you know there will be no one loading scores in our great state on Thursday.

Good Luck to everyone. I just had to create an account and share with everyone that I have never really had very good luck being able to get in contact with Geneva not to mention she is not very friendly. Hopefully we get our scores by next Christmas 🙁

I would bet that no one, including those who handle the scores, knows why Wisconsin does it this way. Very often, procedures are followed for the sole reason that they have always been done that way. The original reasons have been lost, and the individuals responsible just blindly follow precedent.

[07STI]

Below is what I sent a few minutes ago…I'll post her response, if I get one…

Hi Geneva:

Can you please narrow down the date that we will be able to view our CPA exam scores on the NASBA website? From what I understand, we are the only NASBA state that hasn’t received a single wave 2 score at this point. If it were the same in all states I would understand, but when Wisconsin is the only state that has not received a single score it becomes a little frustrating. I took FAR on October 6 and will lose credit for AUD in February. This makes it difficult to re-register and schedule an exam in time when we wait over 11 weeks to receive a score. Is there someone we can talk to about the lack of timeliness, so future candidates do not have the same issues?

For your reference, below is a link to a website noting Wisconsin is the only NASBA state that hasn’t released any scores from wave 2.

Thanks for sharing. I won't hold my breath waiting for her response.
