I’ve read you receive a score report when you fail saying whether you’re stronger, weaker, comparable on subject areas when you fail an exam. Haven’t received one and never hope to, Why don’t we receive one when we pass? I would like to know what areas I struggled with so I can make sure I can look them over just because. Feedback is important to me and lets me evaluate my weaknesses and correct them. The score you receive is such an arbitrary number and with the AICPA’s goofing grading technique I have no clue what it really means. Anyone know why they don’t send them out to people who fail? Probably because it cost money and since you passed they aren’t getting another ~$200 out of you to take it again, but at the same time ~$200 flippin dollars and you can’t send me a piece of paper letting me know how I did!

My understanding is that it is up to the state as to whether or not they include the breakdown with passing scores. We don't receive them in VA either, but I believe that some states do include them. I also would have liked to know how I did. And I'm sure it's an automatic computerized report anyway.

i rec'd a scoring breakdown when passing AUD. (i live in MD)

[mmtx]

Received that score report in TX for pass and fail

[Anonymous]

LA doesn't give them if you pass. I've never put much faith in them.

[mbbransc]

I received a score report for my passing score for FAR but not for my FAILING scores for AUD or REG (in NC). I've often wondered where ppl learned what areas they were strong/weak in.

------------
FAR - PASSED
BEC - PASSED
AUD - PASSED
REG - 74
<sigh>

[Herbieherb]

Lol based on your scores in your signature you are stronger in all parts…good job

NEW YORK- DONE

@Da Bears

Seriously, dude, who the hell cares? You're averaging better than a 90 on your exams. You obviously know your stuff better than most of the people who take these tests. My understanding is that when the score report says you're “weaker” or “stronger” in a subject, they're comparing you to people who scored in the 75-80 range (not sure where I read this – can someone verify?). You're probably stronger in all categories.

I'm just a nerd man haha I like seeing the feedback, the more data the better!! I'm such a nerd I'm on this site in between sets at the gym…

@Da Bears

I need to start going to the gym more. When I started studying in July, I was a lean 147 lbs. Now, I'm a flabby 162. I've been trying to do cardio, but I get winded after jogging 1.5 miles. Embarassing. I ultimately end up eating fast food and crying in the fetal position. Gotta get on a better diet and workout plan haha. The “C” in CPA doesn't stand for “Chunky”.

[Da Bears]

Damn you need to hit the weights man! Loose so much more fat that way then cardio yourself to death. My build is probably just a….little different haha 225 with a pouch from these exams, as long as I keep shirt on I look good. Need some protection 😉

We got a thanksgiving/Xmas intermission weight loss challenge going on at my place, I've been going hardcore cardio and cut back on weights till I leave for Hawaii on the 16th. Gotta get cut up for those nude beaches 😉 plus winner gets pizza paid for and here in Chicago we have amazing pizza! Can't wait for Lou Malnotis after I win this mofo!

Just start logging your food and you'll think twice before getting that extra Mcdouble haha try eating natural food for a week and you'll amazed at how much better you feel. All these food manufactures pump their food full of garbage, no wonder America is obese

Haha that's awesome @jiddy

Damn, you must be 6'4″ or something. I'm 5'10” so I assume a good target weight is 150 lbs. I'd rather be cut up than buff, but it requires a lot of work in either case! I'll take your advice and hit the weights tonight, focus on upper body and do lower body tomorrow. Shoot around a bit afterwards. And I won't double-fist McDoubles or Chick-fil-A sandwiches anymore haha. I don't understand how guys like Raymond Felton and Boris Diaw can succeed in the NBA and double-fist all the food they want. In fact, when Felton was with the Blazers last year, he REFUSED to eat something unless he could double-fist it. It increased his perpetual weight-gaining efficiency.

[Da Bears]

haha nah im 5'11” I've been lifting for about 4 years straight taking protein, cycling creatine, and eating the bodybuilding diet. My step father is about 20 pound lighter than me and my mom always teases him why do you guys look so different…..If you young like me…23…you are in the prime testosterone levels so hit the gym hard, buy some whey protein and eat clean. You won't blow up like the dudes you see on fitness mags…those guys are taking a lot of test to get that huge! Took me about 1.5 years to start seeing real changes in my body and for the past 2.5 I've been just maintaining my size and strength. Some people like playing video games, playing guitar, etc…I like pump ze weights, chyea! Those NBA dudes are ALWAYS moving and in the gym, hence why they can just eat food non stop. some of us sit on our asses and file TPS reports all day 😉
