This is for people taking their exams in the April/May 2010 testing window.

Recommended prep time for REG is 5-6 weeks @ 20 hours a week.

Have anyone in MA received their REG scores yet?

@weneedrealtimescores- Maryland is an independent state and not NASBA (thank goodness!)

@drjohns6- I didn't even have a time difference between my testlets.  I posted somewhere my timing for the exam, but I believe it took me about half hour per m.c. testlet, 50 minutes for the first sim, and half hour for the last.  My sims were nuts but somehow I scored stronger  than average on them- go figure!

I took FAR for the 2nd time yesterday evening and came home to a 75 from AUD, I was so pumped, now waiting for this damn REG score, I bet it will release tonight since the indies are out in full force

MASS - BEC 79, AUD 75, REG 80, FAR 71 FEB'10, FAR 71 JUN'10, FAR NOV'10 77 and I'm spent...

Hope you're right weneedrealtimescores. I also tood FAR last night. terrible. I did poorly on it, but it's ok. I'll take it again in the fall. It was definitely the hardest. Took REG on May 10, right on the cusp of wave 1/2, so I don't know if I'll get score now or around June 20. we'll see shortly.

I'll Pass Eventually
REG (67, 66), BEC (79), FAR (5/26/10), AUD (August 2010)

Scores in VA are up, I passed, good luck everyone!!

FAR ? | REG ? | AUD ? | BEC 5/29

josephm,

If the loophole says “scores are in progress”, that means one of 3 things:

1. You passed
2. NASBA hasn't loaded your score because you're in Wave 2
3. NASBA hasn't loaded your score becasue you're in Wave 1B (I was in the ‘B' wave of each wave last window….I would not be surprised if the AICPA released more scores to NASBA today)

FAR: 81 (1/20) AUD: 88 (2/27) REG: 91 (4/19) BEC: 75 (5/20)

@glutenator – oh god the sims were on FAR last night were BRUTAL!!! They were both heavily weighted on journal entries for obscure transactions, like an extremely difficult one on something that rhymes with… Bale-weaseback if you catch my drift. The sims just blew my mind exactly like the first time I took it, so who knows!!

I hope I am right too, waiting for the Audit scores was so painful the last few days but I got it done in the end. Good luck everybody!!

MASS - BEC 79, AUD 75, REG 80, FAR 71 FEB'10, FAR 71 JUN'10, FAR NOV'10 77 and I'm spent...

REG 67, 81

GaJone… couldnt “scores in progress” also mean your score from Wave 1 has not bee loaded yet? We know NASBA received the score, but that does not mean they have been loaded up yet…

[jdhlb]

@jean2019 It's OK, it happens to the best of us.  Just get your NTS submitted ASAP and keep your head down and take REG as early as you can in the next window – it's what I did and I passed with flying colors the second time around.  RIGHT NOW, write down everything you can remember being clueless about the first time you took it, then use that list as a guide for what to go back and read and do questions on.  If you feel like you're starting to mope around just direct that emotion into doing an hour or two of questions/studying – I promise once you make yourself get back on the study train it gets easier if you just start studying NOW and have the next four weeks to kick REG's ass.  Then, have BEC scheduled for the end of the next testing window, and take the ~2months in between REG and BEC to restudy for BEC (you'll want more time than you think you need cause you took it awhile ago).  Take 3-7 days after you take REG to decompress, then get back on it.

Remember: next 3 months of hell = lifetime of payoff. You got this.

FAR ? | REG ? | AUD ? | BEC 5/29

GaJone/Trop…I called NASBA this morning and they told me that they have my score and that I should receive it within 24 to 48 hours (which is their standard answer)…..so I'm in wave 1 for sure. I've been trying the loophole for the past several days even though I knew the scores weren't up yet and I was getting the “scores in process” messgae which is what I expected. Now however, shouldn't I be able to get into the registration screen and see what is/isn't open for registration??

FAR 89 REG 88
BEC 85 AUD 82
Done!!!

[The GaJone]

Yeah I guess that could be an option also Trop. Either way, it's hard to tell. It could mean a lot of different things. Hopefully it means we all passed : )

FAR: 81 (1/20) AUD: 88 (2/27) REG: 91 (4/19) BEC: 75 (5/20)

[The GaJone]

josephm,

For you, FAR will not be open for re-registration since you passed it, and BEC will not be open for re-registration since you take it today (good luck by the way). And obviously AUD will not be open for re-registration since you haven't scheduled it for the first time yet. So that just leaves REG. If you are getting the “exams are still in process” message that is a good sign. It doesn't mean you passed it necessarily, but it doesn't mean you for sure failed it. If you for sure failed it, then it will let you go on to register for REG.

FAR: 81 (1/20) AUD: 88 (2/27) REG: 91 (4/19) BEC: 75 (5/20)

Per “Ohio loophole” I passed REG! If this turns out to be true, I am done!!!!!!!!! Priceless!

I am from NM (NASBA state).
