FAQ: 2011 CPA Exam Score Release Timeline

Q. What is the scoring timeline for 2011?

A. For the first three testing windows (January/February, April/May, July/August) in 2011, all candidate scores will be released after the close of the testing window.
Starting with the fourth testing window (October/November) in 2011, scores will be reported with more predictability and frequency than the pre-CBT-e score release schedule. Under this improved score release schedule, CPA Exam scores will be released to NASBA following the first month of testing in a window, with subsequent score releases every two weeks for the remainder of the window.

Q. Why will all scores be released only after the close of the window during the first three quarters of 2011?

A. The main reason that scores will be released after the close of the testing window during the first three quarters of 2011 is to gather candidate performance data for the new Task-Based Simulations (TBS). Candidate data from a full testing window is required to provide enough data for a proper analysis and validation.
The transition from standard simulations to TBSs in CBT-e makes faster score reporting possible since TBSs may be pre-tested. Pre-testing allows us to gather question performance data, as we have done with multiple-choice questions (MCQs): once we have enough statistical data, we will be able to score TBSs as quickly as we score MCQs.

Q. When can I expect to receive my scores after October 2011?

A. During the 2006-2010 testing windows , candidate scores were released in two rounds: The first round approximately one week before the end of the testing window, and the second approximately two weeks after the end of the testing window. In addition, not all candidates who tested early in a window were eligible for the first round of score release. Candidates who took test forms with new test content that required additional analysis and review before scoring were not eligible for the first round of score release.
With CBT-e, improvements have been introduced into the process. Beginning with the October/November 2011 testing window, scores will be released faster and more frequently.
The first round of score release will be approximately one month after the beginning of the testing window. Subsequent score releases will be made every two weeks after the initial release.
In addition, with very few exceptions (see below), candidates who test early in a window will be eligible for the first round of score release.

Q. Are there any differences in score release by Exam section (AUD, FAR, REG, BEC)?

A. Yes. Candidates who take the BEC section may get their scores in a subsequent release due to additional analyses that may be required for the written communication tasks. Also note that written communication tasks now appear in the BEC section only.

Q. What changed to make these score reporting enhancements possible?

A. There have been a number of changes that make these enhancements possible. The most significant change is the introduction of shorter Task-Based Simulations (TBSs). Before 2011, the simulations on the Exam were relatively long and could not be pre-tested in advance. Accordingly, if a candidate took a test form with a new simulation, the candidate was not eligible for the first round of score release because the new simulation required additional data analysis and review before scoring.
With the introduction of Task-Based Simulations in CBT-e, new simulations can be pre-tested in advance, analyzed, reviewed and approved for scoring.
