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.

Nsane10,

I'm the wife of a CPA candidate, so I feel your pain. I stalk these boards, hoping for something, just release the scores! This is his last test, so we have been in a holding pattern waiting for the score release. He took the test on May 7 and somehow his score got dumped into the second wave… it's been a very long 6 + weeks… as the clock ticks down in the 18-month window.

BTW, thanks to all you CPA candidates for sharing your experiences. I try to wrap my mind around how awful this process is and be as supportive as possible! I guess the earliest we'll see REG scores is Wednesday night (NASBA state). Oy vey!

Really hoping! weve been waiting since last week, the agony! Its so difficult having to wait for a score while studying for another, no way to focus or keep your head on straight.

REG, NOW, please?! AUGGGGGH. Can't wait much longer. The torture, it burns.

(IL) / BEC - 81 (2/20/10) / AUD - 94 (4/19/10) / REG - 86 (5/24/10) / FAR 96 (10/18/10) / DONE

This waiting game is the worst! I am waiting on REG and if I passed I am done with the exam forever. If I failed I have one more shot before I start losing parts the end of July.. it is killer.

Does anyone know when the loophole starts working? For example, if they release REG tomorrow (fingers crossed!) when will the loophole start working? Is it later that night or is it early the next morning. I am in PA which is a NASBA state so I think I should be able to find out a little bit earlier with the loophole…

[Yes We Can]

Been told the loophole starts working after scores are released by AICPA, try it after. Have two sets of scores been released in one day ever? Any hope at all for tnight?

This waiting is really making me go crazy! REG was my first section and I left almost in tears. I felt terrible with both simulations and have been waiting and waiitng for the score while trying to study for BEC which appears even worse than REG ever was. Almost makes me just want to say forget this whole process and the hope of becoming a CPA!!!

REG 88 BEC 72,77 FAR 70, retake 1-2011, AUD 85

Kathyb16, I know how you feel. I took AUD in the first part of March, felt like I had done pretty well on it, and then got a 72!! I felt like why bother, but then I keep trying to remind myself that if it was easy everyone would pass. That if you fail, don't give up, try try again. So, pout for a day or two, but then get back on the horse and try some more!!

Hopeful this time around.... Back after a 2 year break!!

BEC - Feb 2013 78!!
FAR - May 2013 76!!
REG - 70! 71! 80!!
AUD - Oct 2013 79!!

FINALLY DONE!!

Kathyb16 don't dwell on the past exams we all have failures in life. Just remember that you are a winner because you have not given up on becoming a CPA. Failing means success and through this experience we grow and appreciate more the things that we have in life. We always see ourselves in a negative way but if we think positive we can always win in this struggles…..CPA exam.

BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

He…he , hope i keep my head up till i get my result , its been 2months 3weeks.This has been the longest wait i have enjured in the CPA testing.

FYI – the loop won't work until NASBA has ENTERED your score into their system (which is usually done overnight). So, in best case scenario, the loophole will work the morning after AICPA releases scores to NASBA at the earliest. Although, there have been times where NASBA uploads some scores the night of AICPA release, and sometimes it takes them two days to update. Of course, you won't know if your score is actually there for sure.
