FROM THE AICPA (09/29/2011):
"Starting in the fourth quarter of 2011 the U.S. CPA Exam will begin releasing scores earlier and more predictably. Initially this may not seem very interesting; however, the change will mark a major shift in the U.S. CPA Exam experience and the strategies that prospective CPAs employ as they work toward passing the exam. ith the transition from a pencil and paper exam to the computerized format in 2004, came a shift in the strategies and expectation of CPA candidates. In particular, the ability to take one exam section at a time and nearly year-round scheduling opportunities has dramatically changed the way CPA candidates prepare and plan for the exam. After the transition to computer based testing, one of the most common requests received from CPA candidates is for faster score releases so they can start planning the next steps in their test taking process..." read entire aticle
