Thought I’d start an official score release thread 🙂

I don't understand…movies, scripts, hell even “classified” information from the White House gets leaked on a consistent basis.

How in the hell are our scores not leaked by now?

[tskits75]

Haha I was wondering where you were going with that when I started reading it.

Is it just me or do some people not understand the unwritten code of honor that you do not ask someone what they got. It baffles me especially when its other CPAs that ask people. At my work we had a senior manager ask a couple of the staff what they got in a traning basically infront of everyone. Even when they said “oh not so well” or something like that she would drill them for the score. I couldn't believe it.

Anyone else have any stories like that?

AUD - 92
BEC - 79
REG - August
FAR - TBD

@tskits75: I think it's in our nature to ask how others did. Whether to determine if we're better than the other candidate or trying to get “a gauge of how long to study for a section to get a certain result”. As a new candidate, I feel comfortable disclosing my score, especially since I talked about the score I expect to get for each exam. If each exam goes the way I think it will go, I wouldn't have any problem with someone asking me how I did.

At the end of the day, whether you pass all four section with an average score of 75 or 96, we're CPAs and what matter is the work you do in the real world, not knowing the intricacies of a sale-leaseback transaction or accounting for partnerships by rote memorization when it can be easily researched and discussed amongst colleagues in about 30 minutes.

@jordan.davis I'm on the east coast and will try to sleep in. I managed to do it for my Q1 score (except I only “slept in” until 4:30…)

@Anthony ,”What I'm expecting to happen ” is hilarious but I can't laugh because I have gone though just like that in March.

[Anthony]

@wannaFree That was what happened to me on my first go around. Except I had to take BEC that morning. Boy, that was fun. Feeling like garbage because I failed FAR by 1 point right before a big exam. Can't even concrete on the damn questions on BEC at all with the self doubt going over my head. Felt like I was just pressing random buttons on Prometric computers. Fun times..fun times.

[tskits75]

I agree, but I was talking more along the lines of if people bring it up that is one thing but to try and drag a score out of someone is another thing. I think its pretty easy to tell if someone doesn't want to talk about a failed test, espeically in person.

AUD - 92
BEC - 79
REG - August
FAR - TBD

@Anthony ,that's why I was thinking how come this was so real.

I slept through my first score release, but I wasn't as worried about that one. Now I think I'm going to stay up for it because I'd rather cry before sleep than right before work.

[Karrie]

I always *try* to sleep through it, but I think my mind plays tricks and I either end up not being able to fall asleep at all or waking up in the middle of the night. Then, the site is usually down or takes forever to refresh, so I end up staying awake for an hour trying to see if it'll load.

I hope this forum doesn't go down with all the traffic since so many of us are going to be on here I imagine.

[cshatfield13]

The first two I somehow fell asleep right away, but woke up at 1:30… by then the site was running smoothly, I got my scores and went back to sleep. My third one, I woke up at 12:58… spent the most grueling 30 minutes refreshing my phone and computer, trying to get just one of the 3920 browsers to come up…. I suspect tomorrow night will be an even more hellacious version of the last time, if I can get myself to sleep at all will be a miracle.

The site crashes when there are 2 weeks worth of people trying to get their scores…. imagine what 2 months worth of people is going to do 😮

[4thand75]

I study for the next session up until about 10 minutes before the release then just sit there refreshing over and over again until the site works. However since this is hopefully the last one I will be studying FAR for that time incase I failed because I will have to take it again by 8/30.

[acardone51]

@4thand75 hope you passed! But just so you know, they extended Q3 through September 10th…so you'll have until then to re-take the test. I'm in the same boat….Let's hope it doesn't come to that for each of us!

[TBone]

I don't think expiring scored extend out into the next quarter just the testing window. REG expires for me on 8/30 if I don't pass FAR so I'm in the same boat with a quick retake…assuming I can find a spot at Prometric.

FAR: 66, 75
AUD: 67, 69, 70, 74, 74
REG: 71, 79
BEC: 73

[danko1983]

@jordan.davis I'm just waiting till the morning or when I inevitably wake up in the middle of the night. My biggest conundrum is since I've gotten my ADHD straightened out I've gone 3 for 4, and on the 3 I passed I waited for the email letter to come and didn't check online. The one that I did, well….. but considering this could end it I have no idea how I could wait for a few more days, especially if I'm going to try to retake it in this window if possible. But let's hope it doesn't come to that!

BEC - exp 2/28/13 (crap)
AUD - exp 11/30/13
