So I took the FAR portion of the CPA test on April 12th, the same day my BEC expired. I emailed the California board of accountancy and asked if this was okay, and they said it will still count if I pass. Now I’m finding out I won’t find my score out until August 18th!!! My AUD expires on October 10th. To be honest I don’t think I passed my exam, but I’m not completely ruling out a chance. What am I supposed to do though, just hypothetically take my BEC exam again, even though I might have passed my FAR? This is absolutely ridiculous to me. I feel like there should be an extension to the 18 month window, if there is a weird gray period like this till Aug 18. I mean I can’t just pass up on taking the exam this window in case, because I figure you should take it every chance you can. Is anyone confused by this, does anyone have any advice? Has this situation ever happened before? Thanks for any responses, I really appreciate it, because I’m pretty frustrated right now.

I may be wrong, but I think that you wouldn't be able to take an already passed exam again unless it expires. I don't think you can select it when applying for a new NTS for that section.

All in all, I completely agree that there should either be an extension to the 18 month window as a result of the inconvenience. However, I won't hold my breath waiting on it. I hope you passed your FAR exam btw.

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

You retake an exam until it either expires or you receive your score. If you don't pass, you can petition to your state board and they can choose to grant an extension due to the extended score release.

Thanks for replying guys. I'll try and write them and request an extension. I'm missing a whole testing window. I'll let you guys know the response I get.
