Here is a good one for all of you – my daughter to her ACT with the written section and received her score in 10 days with the written section – YES even the ACT kids get their scores in a reasonable turnaround period. Juniors all over the country sat that day to take the exam – Hello AICPA – take a lesson from those grading the ACT!!!!

@Haze – I only use Gleim to study because I can't afford much more. I think it works just fine, and I've known others to pass using Gleim too.

REG 68 (2010), 76
BEC 58 (2007), 75 DONE!!!!

At least people are putting the aicpa and nasba on blast as they should be, this is unfair and ridiclious. The only reason anyone is putting up with this is because we have no other choice and they know it, we can't do anything. I'm starting to feel like I'm dealing with the motor vehicle administration, we pay tons and get terrible service and support yet can't do anything about it. <3 NASBA <3

Audit - 11/23/10 - 90

we can't do anything about getting scores sooner but we can do something about better “customer service” keep bugging them until they apologize and do something to accommodate our circumstances

Naturally they have no intentions of making any concessions or admissions to anything as anything of the likes becomes EVIDENCE when they find themselves in court.

ts not a matter of IF but WHEN.

Plan accordingly!

I think NASBA's post was pretty pathetic. They are turning the tables and trying to blame us for the confusion.

It's not like we were promised a date today; we just want to be promised something.

The AICPA and NASBA are the ones who created this environment of secrecy and mystery. What do they expect from people who are waiting on critical, life altering information which they are hoarding?

[mattsmeesh]

The statement about giving enough notice last year to “manage your testing schedule accordingly” is utter bullshit for the following reason:

Anything that happened last year, by definition, happened no less than 14 months, 16 days ago. Doing some challenging maths (all accountants are good at maths after all) I have determined that the difference between 18 months and 14 months 16 days is 3 months and 15 days. Using deductive reasoning, I, mattsmeesh, have determined that it's possible to formulate a testing schedule within 3 months and 15 days. Suck on my logic NASBA!

Also, they made the announcement on October 21, 2010. https://goo.gl/RWTYV

FAR - 86
AUD - 78
BEC - 84
REG - 68, 67, 8/4

For those that were wondering about earning additional credits for their 150 requirement, I used LSU distance learning. It is snail mail based but u can get some approved 4 year university credits for under $300 a class (from what I remember). They aren't the only school that does this but I believ they are one of the cheapest and you can get the class done pretty quickly.

FAR-92
AUD-94
REG-87
BEC-(April)

Wow…they really threw Jeff under the bus and were completely disrespectful and condescending towards all of us.

[jdiiorio]

Well I had planned to finish by july. PLANNING ACCORDINGLY that if I had failed BEC I'd take it early may and take reg first week of July. BUT given the fact that I wont get my score til almost april. Will have to retake late may and that will mean reg will be pushed to end of july.. Still july but my plan which had been planned accordingly was to finish before my birthday. And before I got reallocated for work. AICPA and NASBA THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!

Wow.. in one day this post has gotten out of control. I just wanted to say sorry to everyone and your families for our miseries 🙁

[SecondTime]

The best thing to do is email your state board. They should have a candidate advocate of some sort. If they don’t have an advocate email the Board Members and beg them for help, chances are they really do not know what is happening. By the way, the person that answers the phone when you call your board is not an advocate. You must reach a “Board Member” or an advocate.

Next, complaine like hell to NASBA and the AICPA.

Once again, the AICPA should not have initiated the new test if they could not process it in a timely fashion. Furthermore, NASBA should not have gone along with this foolish plan if the AICPA could not guarantee minimal disruption to the candidate. Also, I do not recall either of them posting any information about a scenario remotely like the one that we are now experiencing.

Truly, I do not believe that either of them had the foresight to think this through, mainly because they do not consider the impact to the candidate.

Just as I posted before, NASB and the AICPA are smug low lever bruecrates enjoying a monopoly and as we know from “B” school, a monopolist does not have to consider the client.

BEC:84,exp'd. retest 2/28/2013 (74)
AUD:88
FAR:77
REG:2013

WE HAVE NOT FAILED UNTIL WE QUIT

It's funny that they think releasing this information last year was helpful, considering the people most adversely affected by the window started the exam 18 months ago. The extension requests are for those who had no opportunity to “plan accordingly”.

REG- 79
BEC- 87
FAR- 84
AUD- 81

[IslandCPA]

I just posted this on the AICPA FB page:

So if you recognize that during the first 3 testing windows the score releases are delayed, why can the people who test in them not receive an extension equal to the amount of the delay towards their 18 month limit? I live in Japan (military wife) and have to coordinate trips home to take the test, and not knowing if I passed my sections in this window make it difficult to do that. If I didn't pass and I don't find out soon I will not have enough time to even coordinate a trip home for the April-May window, taking into consideration the reapplication process before I can even schedule with Prometric (not to mention the time off work/coordinating childcare with my husband who is often gone, as well as STUDYING!). I am glad that the scoring process is evolving, but the current process is extremely unfair for candidates who are testing in the first 3 windows of 2011, and though the 18 month window was set in 2004, the exam conditions have changed and that warrants a review of this rule.

I retook AUD and took REG this window and so I don't even have anything to study for right now. I feel like they are wasting my time. Grrrrrrr

A- 74, 80!
B- 83
F- 85
R- 86!!

[herbert7890]

Sometimes I believe this is just a bad joke……….I really can't believe an organization that have such a “strong emphasis” on quality control and timeliness can operate with such lack of respect to the future CPA's and members. Why talk about the importance of timeliness in the accounting standards, when you cant even score an exam in a timely manner???????????????? There is a saying that says “You lead by example”. If this is the example we are getting from our “almighty masters”, I have serious doubts about their operations as a whole.

FAR 88 - BEC 86 - AUD 90 - REG 85
