So, apparently the NASBA account is only allowed to tweet about CPA exam score releases and nothing else. Yesterday, they experienced a bit of a Twitter snafu, reposting an article about best accounting colleges no less than eleventy billion times. They attempted to apologize but in doing so, only pissed off anxious CPA exam candidates further. See for yourself:
@MrsTLaw Talk about playing with your emotions… Sorry! We're expecting scores some time tomorrow or Saturday morning.

DID SOMEONE SAY TOMORROW?? OMG SCORES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE OUT UNTIL THE 9TH!
Yeah, about that… scores are due out on the 9th.
Twitter did not take this tweet well. Not well AT ALL.
@NASBA You have no idea the anxiety you've caused making us think scores would be released today. Be more careful with your tweets #shameful

So @NASBA are you going to release scores today!! Or shall I wait until Monday? Please respond. You've ruined people's weekend by this tweet

The nice thing is the person who started this all reminded her fellow future CPAs to CHILL.
Things NOT to do when trying to become a CPA, send rude tweets to @NASBA. #cpaexam #scorerelease #smh #ProfessionalOrganization

NASBA tweeted that they are "truly sorry for the miscommunication regarding the score release. The anticipated date is still Tues Sept. 9." So go ahead and get blackout drunk this weekend, you eager little beavers, it's gonna be a long one.
