Is it tacky to put cpa exam scores on your linked- when you haven't passed all 4 parts? I didn't do it myself but just saw a former classmate do it and not sure how potential employers would react.

Don't do it. Nobody will care and it'll just make you look kinda clueless. The only time a potential employee miiiight care about your CPA exam scores is if you won the Elijah Watt Sells award.

Yes. No one cares. You look like an ass if they're fantastic. You're smart enough if you passed- keep it at that.
