I’ve been a CPA for 5 years or so. My mentees at work told me about the changes and how score releases take so long. Why would a test taken in January 2024 not be scored until June?? What’s their thinking? It’s already hard enough to find CPAs

My understanding is because of the new disciplines/test, they have to do extra review. I do agree with you though. Since MC for most it shouldn’t matter but the scoring is some propriety formula so maybe that plays into it. This is also not a “new” schedule release. I have been told it was like this the last time there was a big change to the exam.

The delays were like this last time. What’s different is they actually announced the delays in advance and extended the testing window from 18 to 30 months and also changed the date of measure from when you took your exam to when you received your score.

For the amount we pay for each exam, you think they would have a better system.

I’d assume their thinking is that they have to learn how to score the new questions. They claim there isn’t a curve. But when they used to publish candidate performance handbooks, the range of scores was pretty consistent around 47-52%. That range appeared too stable to not be managed but that’s just my interpretation.

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
