That 18 month window sure is going to go by quick when we are having to wait 2.5 months to get our grade back. Especially for people who work full time and have to study between 1.5 and 2 months. Your looking at a 4 month block of time potentially waisted for people who work full time and are on their last exam.

I personally don’t get this. I understand that the old paper testers had to wait like 6 months, but I thought part of the switch to an electronic test was to slow the lag (and increase the AICPA revenue by letting us take the exams more often). But with a 2.5 month release date it really can throw things off.

Ex: Say you have AUD to go and BEC expires on Aug 5th. You take what you hope to be your final AUD exam on June 1st. But you won’t get your score until the middle of August (after your first BEC expires). Are you allowed to purchase another AUD NTS and take it say Aug 1st? Or do you have to wait to get your score back in the middle August? In the event that you fail you will lose BEC. But if you were allowed to sit for AUD again on Aug 1st and pass it, you wouldn’t lose BEC… or am I missing something?

FAR - 75 November 2015
REG - 69 April 2016 (WTH? Test I got isn't what I studied for)
BEC - 81 June 2016
AUD - TBD

I'm in the situation where I have to rush through REG and AUD and I work full time. If I waited and took AUD in April or May I wouldn't get my grade back until August, and I had planned on taking a few more college courses in August to get my license by next December.

@oldercandidate21

Good point. I'm actually in a similar situation as your example. Except my BEC expires in November 2017. But really hoping that they would allow me to take AUD again in August before the score comes out. Or else I would waste an entire testing window just waiting!
