    I noticed that the score that was released and posted from Q1 is no longer available to view on the new Gateway 2.0 site. Also, I heard that exam candidates who have access to CPA Central can view their scores, but the state of North Carolina does not fall under CPA Central so does anyone have any idea how we can view/access our scores or is this something that the NC State Board takes care of?

    Did you get the Score Report mailed to you? I passed my last section as they started using the NASBA portal, so I don't know if mine was different due to that or due to it being the last one.

    I saw my score on that portal, then they mailed my score report to me with my Congratulations Letter. Before the new portal, I always got my score report mailed to me anyway, but like I said, I dont know if that changed last quarter.

    @Ashley – I've never received any score/performance report via mail from the board. I asked my friends who took different sections in the same quarter (Q2 2018) after they released the new NASBA Gateway website, and none of them (they all passed) have received the report either and their passing scores on the portal disappeared after a certain number of days because NASBA kept the scores on there for 30 days or something. I believe you don't get a report if you pass in the state of North Carolina.

    But you're right – you get the congratulatory letter after you pass the last section.

    Like I said, I always got one before the new roll out of the portal, but I wasn't sure on how they were going to do it afterwards. I thought it was extremely poor communication on everyone's part including the NC Board about how we were going to be notified of scores after that portal release.

    You might want to email Phyllis Elliott at phylliselliott@nccpaboard.gov if you haven't already. She probably can tell you and she has always answered my questions fairly fast.

    @Ashely – I agree. I wish they were a little more transparent with communicating. Thanks for the reply!

    North Carolina candidates can use the portal/gateway to view scores just like candidates in CPAES states. You just have to log in and look. This is from their website:

    ONLINE SCORE RETRIEVAL & SCORE REPORTING
    After the Exam, candidate responses are forwarded to the AICPA for scoring. The responses are identified by Exam Section ID only. When advisory scores and performance information become available, the AICPA forwards them to NASBA for processing where the scores and performance information is matched to individual candidates. When the Board is notified by NASBA that the scores have been released, a notice will be posted on the Board’s Facebook page and the Board’s Twitter account. Check the AICPA’s website for the target score release dates.

    North Carolina Exam candidates may utilize the NASBA Gateway to retrieve scores within 24-48 hours of NASBA receiving the scores from the AICPA. NOTE: You must create a “NASBA Single Sign On” account to view your NTS, scores, etc. Candidates will continue to receive paper score notices by mail from the Board, but the online score retrieval allows candidates to know their scores more quickly. Because there is a lag time between NASBA posting the scores online and when the Board receives notification of the scores, letters to candidates are not immediately available. If a candidate does not receive a passing score on a section, he or she may submit a re-Exam application for that section and will be issued an NTS for that section.

    Score reports include the following basic information: section name, section ID, date, section score, result, and credit status with respect to other sections taken. In most instances, scores are reported in numeric form. The numeric scores are reported on a scale of 0-99, with 75 as the passing score. The scale does not represent “percent correct.” A score of 75 indicates performance that reflects sufficient knowledge and skills to protect public interest. This information illustrates a candidate’s relative strengths and weaknesses in the identified areas. The sole purpose in providing this information is to help a candidates focus on his or her weaker areas when he or she studies to re-take an examination section. Performance information is not provided to successful candidates.

    The Board may grant candidates credit for passing other parts of the Exam in another jurisdiction. To be considered for credit, the passing grades must meet the Board’s conditioning requirements. To transfer credit, the candidate must file an application for transfer of credit with the Board prior to sitting as a North Carolina candidate.

    @workingforaliving – I'm already aware of the fact that we have to use the new Gateway 2.0 portal to view our scores. It's just that the scores posted on there are no longer available to view. I thought I was the only one, but it looks like several of my friends are experiencing the same thing.

    I'm having the same problem. Passed REG last testing period and can't see my score anywhere now. Did you ever figure out how to view it online?
