Question: Why does it take several weeks for scores to be reported to candidates?

Answer: The length of the score reporting cycle is directly related to the credibility of the Uniform CPA Examination. In order to ensure that examination scores are valid and accurate, both the automated and the human components of the scoring process must be routinely evaluated. In addition, scores must be produced under conditions that preserve candidate anonymity, and must then be reported through appropriate official channels. These steps take time, but they are essential to the preservation of the integrity and prestige of the CPA credential.

Once scores are released to NASBA, additional time is needed for processing, which includes linking the scores to individual candidates. NASBA then reports the scores to boards of accountancy for approval and they, in turn, release them to candidates. At each data transmission point, there is an integrity check, and any errors are researched prior to final reporting. All of these steps combined account for the weeks that pass between testing and the receipt of scores.

Hi there,

If someone fails the CPA exam, she needs to retake it. How much does she need to pay beside $50 for the reapplication fee? Should she pay again the sitting fee (about $300) for FAR as she did last time?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's not should, it's have to pay.

Hi KIJ2011,

Thanks for replying my message; however, I'm confusing about your reply. Would you please clarify if someone should pay $300 again for FAR siting fee for re-taking a test (after she failed the first time)? It mean if she should pay the sitting fee (ave $300) plus the application fee ($50) for each time she failed and re-take it.

I'm in the process of planning my testing schedule, and this will be my first time to take a test.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
