Does anyone know when the AICPA plans to release pass rates for second quarter, 2017? Thanks.

I was just wondering the same thing!

Yet to be published

I actually emailed the AICPA a couple days ago directly asking when they'd be published. Got a very-helpful “This information has not yet been published” as the response 🙄

So I guess we'll see…

NASBA just released them on Facebook.

AUD 52.00%
FAR 43.76%
BEC 55.09%
REG 48.32%

Hopefully that low FAR pass rate will be bumped up for Q3, as I'm waiting my FAR score and it's my last exam.

so NASBA is saying all performed better than old format.This result is clear example of manipulation of score to achieve a set percentage.

The scary part is that scores are actually higher for every sections when comparing to Q1. Hope that doesn't spell bad news for us Q3ers.

It appears Aud is well above the typical range but others are in the range compared to historical results. Looks like they were merciful for Aud for some reason.

@Fratty Redneck

i don't think you can really compare these results to Q1. There were alot of people who tried to cram all the parts in before the changes so I'm sure there were plenty of people who sat that weren't really ready to take the exam for Q1

[Radez]

Conversely, due to the format change, people in Q2 may have over-prepared.

CPA Exam Pass Rates – Q2 2017 Released

[Yahmon]

Looks like all the freaking out was for nothing haha. Pretty much if you prepare properly you will have a very good chance of passing. Based on my only exam I took so far under the new format (REG 84) time management is very important but if you know the material well you will be OK. On to FAR I go hoping to be part of the 44%

FAR 8/20/15 - Passed 77
AUD 10/10/15 -
BEC TBD
REG TBD

Thanks for sharing Jeff. It will be interesting how Q2 will compare with Q3
