    Hey everyone,

    I know there tends to be confusion regarding the 18 month window of when you can actually take your test before an exam score expires, I’m just copying and pasting a correspondence from a State Board Liaison (NY State) I received last week, hope it sheds some light on the process…

    ” Exam Credit

    You may take the required test sections individually and in any order, but are required to pass all four sections of the examination within a rolling 18 month period, which begins and ends at the end of non-testing windows (March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31).

    Examination credit expires by section. You will lose credit for each section passed outside the 18 month period, and will have to retake those sections.

    Best Regards”

    *Edit: I wondered because I took FAR on 8/31/17 but my Score notifications and the website always said it expires March 31, 2019, which would be 19 months. I never thought about it but found a random thread where a candidate said NASBA claimed her test didn’t expire but the State Board disagreed, and I definitely don’t want to be on that boat.

    Interesting. I'm bumping up against expiration… 4/20/18 (I passed Reg 10/20/16) – it says at the top of my scoring, expires by 4/20, but that statement you have above “at the end of each period” just confused me.

    I think this may vary depending on the state. I spoke with someone at the Georgia Board today as per NASBA, I have until 4/30/18, yet my technical “18 month frame” would have been April 9th. He responded that I am eligible up until April 30. Im taking his word for it, however, NASBA does state this under Georgia rules:

    “You may take the required test sections individually and in any order, but are required to pass all four sections of the examination within a rolling 18 month period, which begins on the date the first examination section passed was taken.

    Credit for any section passed shall be valid for 18 months from the actual date the examination sections were taken. Examination credit expires by section. You will lose credit for each section passed outside the 18 month period, and will have to retake those sections.”
