@Rollwithit,
You are right on with your earlier commnent. Couldn't have said it better. ;D
“Anyone here a stats nerd? Could the scoring process really take this long? AICPA has had at least a 90% population available to them for 2 weeks and 100% for at least one (bc of the east coast extension). I'd be willing to wager you only really need by 70% to 80% of the population to scale the scoring system fairly. That being the case, the AICPA likely has had all they need for a fair scoring system for a month now. So my question for you stats nerds is: “how is it possible to take this long to score the tests?”
I'm not even a stats guy, but I bet I could do the whole thing in 2 or 3 days if you give me the results, an answer key, and microsoft excel!
I guess it takes awhile to BS the data enough to come up with the magic 75 number while simultaneously forcing a fail rate of ~50%. In my opinion, the longer the score release takes, the more it indicates their scoring framework is a load of garbage. Seriously, it's 2011 – analysis of standardized sets of data, no matter how large, doesn't take that long. Unless of course you are forcing the data to produce an answer you are happy with. I declare shenanigans!”
…….. Hoping for the best St. Patrick's Day ever with a 75+ tomorrow …….
