@terpcpa

so are you going to call them?

I'm right with you, it's my (hopefully) last exam, and i've never experienced MD releasing the scores before the official release day….

AUD - 90
FAR - 83
BEC - 81
REG - 80
ETHICS - 100

(here in MD0 I know that I got mine on a Sat last time REALLY REALLY hoping it's the same situation this time. This is my third try at FAR… fingers crossed I really don't want to do that again.

[Topsya]

well….. maybe next day release is a new MD thing? Would be awesome!

I called the State Boards and the lady I spoke with said that she does not have a specific date. She also said that in prior periods, they realized that they were uploading the scores a lot later than most states due to an IT issue and are now aware of it. Since then, they have automated the process and it is a direct feed from the source. I do not know who the “source” is but she said the only advice is to keep checking throughout the weekend. So there is a chance that the scores will be posted over the weekend. I guess its a 50/50 shot at this point that we might see our scores earlier than Monday.

BEC - Passed
REG - Passed

@terpcpa thank you for calling!!!!

[Topsya]

The source is NASBA

Oh, imagine that, State had no idea there was a system error for several prior periods…. why am I not surprised?

@jcarrick goodluck with FAR! I am waiting on FAR as well (last section). Praying that I passed!!

@topsya…yep not buying the whole “we had no idea.” I've called them before when after a week past the release date I still didn't have my scores. That was last September/Octoberish and was given the same “oh, it's an IT issue” explanation. It wasn't until the last window that I saw any change. No possible way it takes that long to resolve an IT issue.

@jcarrick

bahahah

you probably never dealt with the State of MD!

Every little thing takes x5 times longer for them. It's completely normal.

@topsya correct, the CPA is my first interaction with this state agency. Gotta say though, they are still faster than Baltimore City 🙂

[jcarrick]

@terpcpa GOOD LUCK TO YOU AS WELL!!!! How are you feeling about it? How were your sims?

[Topsya]

@jcarrick

and yes, they never know what's going on “behind the scenes”. As an example – they have NO IDEA themselves when the scores will be released. One big MYSTERY.

Just keep checking guys…..

WTF?

AUD - 90
FAR - 83

[jcarrick]

@topsya, hey, at least it's in the next couple of days right? Could be next weekend…. I think i'd actually have a heart attack if I had to wait that much longer.
