If I take FAR on the last day of the testing window at the end of November, 2011 then how long would you estimate I would have to wait to receive my score? I want to wait to the last day of November to give myself the most amount of time to study right now. I understand that it can vary from 2 weeks to 8 weeks, so given the time that I plan on taking the FAR exam at the end of November, how long should it take. I’m in Indiana if that helps any. Thank you!

Q. When can I expect to receive my scores after October 2011?

A. During the 2006-2010 testing windows , candidate scores were released in two rounds: The first round approximately one week before the end of the testing window, and the second approximately two weeks after the end of the testing window. In addition, not all candidates who tested early in a window were eligible for the first round of score release. Candidates who took test forms with new test content that required additional analysis and review before scoring were not eligible for the first round of score release.

With CBT-e, improvements have been introduced into the process. Beginning with the October/November 2011 testing window, scores will be released faster and more frequently.

The first round of score release will be approximately one month after the beginning of the testing window. Subsequent score releases will be made every two weeks after the initial release.

In addition, with very few exceptions (see below), candidates who test early in a window will be eligible for the first round of score release.

Q. Are there any differences in score release by Exam section (AUD, FAR, REG, BEC)?

A. Yes. Candidates who take the BEC section may get their scores in a subsequent release due to additional analyses that may be required for the written communication tasks. Also note that written communication tasks now appear in the BEC section only.

FAR 76
REG 76(2x)
BEC FAILED (2x)
AUD FAILED (2x)

As gottagetmycpa wrote, the faster score release process is supposed to begin next test window. However, even if that change is delayed, you'll probably get your score within 3-4 weeks since you're taking the exam at the end of November. If Indiana isn't a NASBA state, there may be a delay of a couple of days after NASBA releases scores before it's posted to the state system. I'm assuming that Indiana isn't one of the snail mail states which would delay your notification by a few more days.

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
AUD 4/15/11 - 85
REG 4/29/11 - 80
BEC 5/13/11 - 85
