    What did NASBA or AICPA say is going to be for the 4th quarter 2011 – how will the scoring be released?

    I need to schedule BEC again (please let that be the only one!) and was going to do it for the end of November, but then remembered reading somewhere about a change in score releases and that maybe if I schedule it in October I’ll get results in November…

    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.

    So does that mean scores will first start getting released Nov 1 for people who took the exam in Oct, and every two weeks following that? I find it REALLY hard to believe that they would be doing score releases every two weeks during the testing window…sounds way to good to be true.

    Most people that I have talked to about this have been really excited about the new scoring timetable. I would think that it helps a lot with study planning.

    Too bad the current process makes it EXTREMELY difficult to plan subsequent tests!!!! 😀

    wait! So, if you take your exam on Oct 1st, you have to wait for at least a month to receive your score??? I took AUD the last day of the testing period and received my score today…that is less than a month…so, I wonder how long the wait is if you take it the last day of the test period?
