This has been the worst exam window so far for me. Usually by now I would have had my score. This window it was a hard test combined with a longer than normal wait time for scores & that the fact that for the first time I think I failed a test. This has not been a good past 7 weeks. )-:
LaniWai – I got the same email. This is very similar to the report that we used to get but maybe now more states are sending it out? I don't know. The way WA used to report was by giving the actual grade at the top and then each section would have a grade and it would show the average grade of those who passed with a 75-80. Then it would tell you if you were weaker, comparable, or stronger in those areas. I believe 75 is still the passing score.
Ugh, the NASBA email also states that all scores will be released at the end of the testing window for the next 3 windows. If I failed my last exam, that will really screw me up.
I didn't notice any difference between the new sample reports and the old score reports.
LaniWai: I think they were just giving 3 possible scenarios,not saying that you had to get 90 in order to pass. I believe the passing score is the same.
Actually, now that I look at the sample report again, It looks like they got rid of the numerical scores. It just says Stronger, weaker, and comparable. I hope they don't plan to do the same for the actual score report…
I think nasba owes us some compensation for this new score release business. They're making it awfully hard to create a study plan in case of failure with the new score release
Ugh – I know Bob! I check my email SEVERAL times a day just in case for some reason they decide to email me my score before the projected release date. You never know – it's a possibility. I hate hate hate waiting.
CPAexcel on my FB page just posted that there was a tweet from AICPA to NASBA that scores wouldn't be released until the end of March. By the time this is over with I will have developed a serious ulcer. I MUST pass FAR and BEC before May or I lose my AUD credit and have to start over. I am seriously rethinking this career move and going back to being a project manager.
I also noticed on the FAQ they mentioned BEC could be released after the others due to it having Written Comm. Not what I wanted to hear—I am waiting for BEC and am currently sitting on my hands since if I fail I plan to just retake it ASAP rather than jumping into Reg for 2 months
Does anyone know how to interpret the post NASBA put earlier on their FB page that says “For the first three testing windows (January/February, April/May, July/August) in 2011, all candidate scores will be released after the close of the testing window. Prediction of mid-March are incorrect – After the CLOSE of the window.”
Assuming CLOSE of the window is Feb 28 (now March 6), I don't understand why mid-March predictions could be so incorrect? Any ideas from anyone?
I just took FAR for the second time and I actually feel good about it. My BEC expires April 5 and i was thinking in being extra safe and sending my re-application fee incase i dont pass. Does anybody know if they will give you a refund if i did pass. Anybody had this experience happen to them? Thanks.
