This is for people taking their exams in the January/February 2010 testing window.

Recommended prep time for FAR is 6-8 weeks @ 20 hours a week.

Loophole in Ohio, Missouri, Georgia and I believe one other state. I just don't remember. They all came up with the same message that I had passed all 4 parts.

Sounds like you are done, MJM73. Alright!

[MJM73]

Nebraska too. There seem to be quite a few states that have this loophole. I hope they aren't wrong, i already told my kids 🙁

[MJM73]

Well, whether this loophole thing is correct or not…..I studied from DVDs at home and my 13 year old now knows all about partnerships and she is really good at the FOB concept. I still have one testing window. Maybe the 4 year old will pick up on pensions. My 19 year old sat down in front of one of the DVDs for about 10 minutes and said forget this. I have no idea what this guy is talking about.

Thanks MJM. I did it using the other two loopholes and it said that I passed all four parts as well. But I think I am going to keep it to myself until I actually see the score posted on NASBA. When are scores expected to come out? I am registered for PA and I see that some people have received their scores already.

Is a Monday night NASBA release probable? I tell myself not to get excited about OH saying I passed all 4 parts until I see it from NASBA. But I must say I am ALOT less stressed today then I was Friday when they released to NASBA.

does anyone know if the loophole works for Oklahoma?

Hi everyone, FAR was my first exam so I'm a little new to the score release process. Question – NASBA tweets that 5,406 FAR scores were released from IACPA to NASBA on Friday. First of all, does this mean ALL scores for Wave 2 were released to NASBA? Or could 5,406 just be the tip of the iceberg?

Assuming that 5,406 were ALL the scores for Wave 2, does that mean we'll all be receiving our scores 24-48 hours from Friday? I live in VA. I'm assuming it's fairly likely the score will be available online by Monday night. Any reason why it would be significantly later than this? (i.e. Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/even later?)

Thanks in advance!

cpapleez – most likely the 5,406 FAR scores released on Friday by AICPA do not represent all the scores that will be released for far in wave 2 – however I wouldn't say it's “the tip of the iceberg” either as if I remember correctly usually there are approximately 6k to 7k scores released each window for each section. So I would think that these are the majority of scores that will be released for FAR in this window, but not all.

To answer your second question, it takes 24 to 48 BUSINESS hours for NASBA to release the scores to us through their website, which means that we can see them as early as Monday night (usually after 9PM EST) and as late as Tuesday night (again after 9ish).

Hope this helps and good luck!

Ms_X – thanks, really helpful and informative reply. Sounds like we can be confident that we'll know our FAR scores by Tuesday night, but there's a small chance our scores haven't been released yet….

[Anonymous]

yep – hopefully we will know tomorrow night!
