I just received my CPA Exam score on the Audit section and I am one point below passing. What is a score review and should I request one?
A score review is a verification of a candidate’s CPA Exam score. It involves making certain that the approved answer key was used and that it was applied correctly. It is not an opportunity to find additional points or to have new responses considered. All reported scores are subject to routine quality controls and are scored twice before they are reported to the state boards. The likelihood of a score change following a score review is exceedingly low or less than 1 percent of all requested score reviews. Should you decide to request a score review, just be careful because the option to apply is available only for a short period of time after your score has been reported to you, and there are fees involved.
