Thanks Allyson! I'm waiting too!!

I just emailed Donna about 10 minutes ago, and she just sent me that response.

This is what I wrote her:

Donna,

The TSBPA website says that the scores are available for view for BEC as of June 27, 2011. My grade is not listed on my exam candidate account (Megan Davis 02******). Have all grades been received, or am I still waiting on my grade to be released by the AICPA?

Thanks!

Has anyone ever done a score review before? I am thinking about doing it since I got another 74 and this is my 4th 74 in a row… Any help would be gretly appreciated!

[hilaryh_88]

CPAchic3 – I would typically say no way, but in your case, I'd certainly be tempted to do it also. Maybe Jeff can give you his take on it.

AUD - 82 Becker
BEC - 75 Becker
REG - 71, 82 Becker
FAR - 66,61,71,74,70 and #6 80!!!! FINALLY DONE!!! 9/20/12
Yaeger and Yaeger CRAM for the final battle!

@CPAchic

I would consider it too. If you don't mind losing the money just in case they do not change your score. Your case is definetly unique. I have never seen anyone with that many consecutive 74s. That is heart-breaking. That's like one freaking question!!! I wonder if the AICPA knows or looks at your previous test scores before posting the most recent. Your story is crazy, and will be a very motivational one of perseverance when you succeed. If you were to attempt a score review, I would continue studying as if you are re-taking the exam so no time is wasted. GL!!!

BEC - 71, 74, 77 (Feb - 2011)
FAR - 73, 78 (Feb - 2011)

@CPAchic3

I feel for ya, but just because you're on your fourth 74 doesn't mean the odds of success increase at all. You are better off going and putting your money on one hand of blackjack. It sucks, but get back too it and hopefully a better outcome on the next go-around! Good luck!

Thanks guys! I did still apply for my NTS for the next window and plan on taking BEC again the end of August. It takes at least 8 weeks to get a response from the AICPA regarding your review. I am frustrated mostly at my WC being tested on topics not related to BEC and clearly from other sections. Can they do this? I did not see anywhere in the CSO that these topics could be tested. And the fact that my test was held back and not released until yesterday due to a possible regrading by humans of the WC piece (not sure if this is true, but what people were saying).

[herbert7890]

Congrats on passing, Allyson!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me real happy to see you tackle BEC and be so close to your goal of becoming a CPA. I will be here following you when you receive your REG score next window!!! Celebrate like a champ!

FAR 88 - BEC 86 - AUD 90 - REG 85

@CPAchic3

The trick for the WC is using key words. They are first computer graded. If you have a borderline score, they are then hand graded.

First, restate the question you are being asked. Next, answer their question, be sure not to use a list. Examples are ok.

Conclude by thanking them, and letting them know to contact you with further questions, or that you look forward to discussing the matter further.

Hope this helps.
