    I just received my score notification service email around 03:00 PM, but I’m very confused. It says the breakdown for AUD, REG, and FAR is 60/40. The new test is supposed to be 50/50 for those sections. So did they just use the old template? Or is this worth investigating? I got a 74 on my final section and would do just about anything for that extra 1 point!

    BEC - 04/25/2016 - 81; 11/25/2013 - 74
    AUD - 05/26/2016 - 75 HALFWAY THERE
    REG - 07/01/2016 -
    FAR -

    Going after that one point will be like chasing a unicorn. It won't happen and you will be out a few hundred bucks

    I received my NY report, the bottom of page 2 where says Multiple Choice (60%) and Simulations (40%), the new format should be 50%/50%, I confused too.

    They must just have used their old template, but honestly after making everyone wait 10 weeks plus for their score, they should have remembered to update their templates!!

    Not sure if they would send us the updated score report, obviously the info is not correct.

    Between the delay, the site crashing, and erroneous emails, they get a 68 at best.

    @cmcook That's generous.

    A score 48 would be my assessment. The delay holds 80% of the weighted score, while the site crashing holds 15%, and the erroneous emails hold 5%.

    I email NASBA about the % breakdown, here is their response:

    I am not sure. We do not handle the content or the grading of the CPA examination, but you can find that information here through the AICPA’s website:

    I still haven't gotten mine back and I am in Colorado. Should I be worried, or just wait it out?

    I posted a separate response to this. I still haven't received mine as well as another individual in WA, I'm guessing they haven't sent them out for everybody yet but I emailed them about it. Probably shouldnt expect anything until Monday at this point though
