There have been several different answers to this same question. Can some clairify how many points is the research simulation and is partial credit given. There are three boxes to fill in when you input the answer. Is each box worth 1/3 of the credit? This would make sense to me if it were worth more to have partial credit. If it is only worth one point then partial credit would not apply. Someone please help.

REG - 84
BEC - 79
FAR - 79
AUD - 71,71,95
Ethics 100

I've researched this on the AICPA's website and I could not find a definitive answer. Someone else may have better luck than I did. Sorry 🙁

“Section scores are reported on a scale that ranges from 0 to 99. A total reported score of

75 is required to pass each section. This is not a percent correct score and cannot be

interpreted as a percentage. The total score in the AUD, FAR and REG sections is a

weighted combination of scaled scores from the multiple-choice and task-based

simulation questions. For the BEC section, the total score is a weighted combination of

the scaled scores from the multiple-choice questions and written communication tasks.

Scaled scores on the multiple-choice and task-based simulation portions of the Exam are calculated using formulas that take into account factors such as whether the question was answered correctly and the relative difficulty of each question.”

P.S. I think the last sentence of the quote will probably help you the most in understanding the scoring. Honestly I don't think anyone actually knows. : )

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Audit 4/19/12 - 77
BEC 5/31/12 - 75
FAR 8/30/12
