NASBA released CPA exam scores for discipline sections today and it must have been on time because there’s no one bitching in their replies on Twitter. Well, one guy in California who hasn’t gotten his score yet is mildly complaining, wouldn’t call it bitching per se. One person is a big improvement from last month’s “the AICPA can eat a bag of dicks” debacle and July’s unintentional candidate DDoS attack.

Alright so in this batch of scores for people who sat between July 1 and July 31 we have:
Exam Section | Number of scores processed |
Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR) | 1,564 |
Information Systems and Controls (ISC) | 1,487 |
Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP) | 1,903 |
BAR (Intl) | 710 |
ISC (Intl) | 135 |
TCP (Intl) | 108 |
Excluding the international test-takers, that gives us 4,954 discipline scores released in July. We’d say “discipline sections taken” but there are no doubt people who walk out or whose exams get messed up at Prometric so for the purposes of this article, we’re speaking specifically about the number of scores as reported by NASBA.
Going back to the two earlier score releases on June 28 (testing dates: April 20 to May 19):

Adding the number of scores processed in the three score releases of this year gives us this total number of exams taken:
Exam Section | Number of scores processed |
Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR) | 3,072 |
Information Systems and Controls (ISC) | 2,869 |
Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP) | 3,598 |
BAR (Intl) | 1,597 |
ISC (Intl) | 240 |
TCP (Intl) | 254 |
Total domestic discipline sections completed and scored as of July 31, 2024: 9,539
There is one more discipline score release remaining for 2024, due on December 10 for the upcoming testing window of October 1 to October 31. We’ll revise our numbers then.
