Right now in Canada, about 8,000 would-be CPAs are sitting around twiddling their 10-key fingers not knowing A) if they passed September’s Common Final Examination, and B) if their scores will even count after a long legal review into the disaster of an exam that plagued thousands across the country. From testing center Internet outages […]

Impatient CPA Exam Candidates Won’t Be Pleased With the 2017 Score Release Schedule
A tip came in earlier today noting that the 2017 CPA exam score release schedule looks a bit different than in recent years past: I'm not sure if it has been like this before but they aren't releasing CPA exam scores nearly as often this year. Looks like in quarters 2-4 they are just saying […]

NASBA’s Website is Shut Down Again
For a third score release in a row, NASBA is locking CPA exam candidates out of its website so you people don't break the Internet with your obsessive refreshing.

NASBA Is Shutting You Out From Their Website Ahead of CPA Exam Score Releases Again

Here’s Your Open Thread for the First CPA Exam Score Release of Q4 2014
Last week, we learned that NASBA had all but shut down their website to prevent eager score-checkers from blowing up the site like they did last CPA exam score release. This was a first for NASBA and we'd be lying if we said we didn't secretly hope they'd somehow screw this up and end up […]
NASBA Is Now Taunting Anxious CPA Exam Candidates With a Countdown Clock
I'm really not sure if this is hilarious or cruel, probably a nice mix of both. I mean, it's NASBA after all. As we reported last week, NASBA decided to shut down access to scores completely until the target score release date of 11/4, which is tomorrow. Can you all handle waiting just one more […]

Friendly reminder: scores aren’t actually due to be released until tomorrow.
Look How Well Some CPA Candidates Are Taking the News That Their Scores Are On Time
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 […]

We will reopen Monday, December 17 at 8 am CST — […]

If 2012 is the first year you've had the pleasure of taking the CPA exam, you probably have no idea just how torturous waiting for your scores used to be.

Raise Your Hand If You’re Still Waiting for Your CPA Exam Score
From what we hear, everyone in California should have their arms in the air.
Texas, however, has finally ended the suspense:
Everyone in North Carolina, on the other hand, is still waiting on the USPS (still in business!):
While you wait, we’ll knock the dust off an old video to cheer you up:
NASBA Website Is Down UPDATE – They’re Back! (Sort of)
Now you’ve done it. Hot off the Twitter.
If you still haven’t seen your score and you’re interested in sharing some anxious thoughts or frustrations, you may do so now.
UPDATE:
We did see the homepage briefly but now it’s loading awfully slow. Please bear with them.
Here’s Your CPA Exam Scores Open Thread for the July/August Testing Window
BEC scores have been released so it won’t be long until you’re doing a happy dance or sobbing in a bathroom stall.
Either way, it’s your God-given right to react with euphoria or complete rage. Since most places of employment aren’t too keen on streaking through the cube farms or kicking over chairs, we invite you to let loose in the comments. We’ll update this post as the scores are released.
UPDATE: If you took the exam at an international location, NASBA just tweeted out a friendly reminder that you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
UPDATE 2: Yesterday afternoon while I was out playing, NASBA announced they got a boatload of AUD scores. Hopefully this doesn’t ruin your weekend.
UPDATE 3: More BEC scores were released yesterday. At 5 pm on a Friday, no less.
Here’s Your CPA Exam Scores Open Thread for the April/May Testing Window
If you passed, congrats! If you failed…well, we still love you but you may be hopeless.
Sounds like people are getting anxious for REG scores now, so keep us updated for when NASBA drops the word.
UPDATE:
AUD scores have no been released.
AICPA Has Released AUD Scores to NASBA for the Jan/Feb Testing Window
For those of you who have been anxious, nervous or possibly livid about this whole waiting for your CPA exam scores thing, AUD has arrived. That leaves us with just BEC remaining for Jan/Feb.
Commence to partying (or reapplying with your state board/CPAES)!
11,828 REG scores and 9,491 FAR scores have been released so far.
AICPA Has Released REG Scores to NASBA for the Jan/Feb Testing Window
It’s been two days since they released FAR so at this rate, all scores should be out by Tuesday. Who wants to bet unforeseen circumstances delay BEC a tad longer? Just a guess.
Anyhoo, you’ve waited weeks (or months) for ’em, here they are.
All 32 CPAES states should have scores posted online within 24 hours (though preliminary candidate feedback is that this process is faster than it used to be). The only CPAES states which may take 24-48 hours to release online are Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska & Puerto Rico. Check with your state board of accountancy if you are in a non-CPAES state.
More CPA Exam Scores Are Released for the October/November Window
NASBA has announced via Twitter that more scores have been released for the final window of the year. Bad news is that it takes 24 – 48 hours for them to post. Our recommendation would be to jump over to NASBA and spend the next 24 hours refreshing the page until it posts. Or chew your fingernails until they bleed, whatever works for you.
If you end up with an early Christmaskuh gift, please share. If you got coal, also share before you go into the corner sobbing.
Is NASBA Torturing You?
We got a request to start a thread on the CPA exam results being totally MIA. The last thread seemed to indicate that results were slow to come out but here we are a month later and some of you took your exam(s) back in July.
So what the hell, NASBA? People can’t sleep at night. Get with the program!
Discuss your anxiety in the comments or if you’ve got your scores, just tell us you got between 75 and 79. Anything higher and you might has well be one of those Elijah Watts rocket-scientists.
