This is also not accounting or legal advice.<br> <br> Friday, September 9th, 2011 happy Friday to you. This is CPA reviewed the CPA exam podcast from another 70 one.com my name is Jeff Elliott and I am your humble host. Now there's some new ones that has been around since 2008 and had some pretty. Humble roots starting out on blogger blog spot. And, uh, the, the old school, another 70 one.com logo was this woodgrain creation that I made with Microsoft paint.<br> <br> And, um. Three years later, three and a half years later, it's gone through four evolutions. And I launched the new theme yesterday. Yeah. So this is another 70 one.com version 4.0 and whenever you go live with a new theme, there are always some things that don't work. I tried to do a promotion today with some discounts offering 40% off Wylie and Ninja study guides and flashcards, and guess what?<br> <br> The coupon didn't work. So that's a little bit of a fail on my part, but I'm getting it fixed. Everything should be 40% off sitewide. Now. Um, all right. Well on today's show we are going to talk about what we, what do we have here? We're going to talk about score, release information. I had some people write some questions.<br> <br> One of the coolest aspects of the new theme is in the upper right-hand corner, there's a button called ask Jeff, and it's just a field that you fill out and you can, you can send me. Your question and it comes right to my email. You don't have to go through the trouble of emailing me. You can probably even send me hate mail anonymously and I would never know who you are.<br> <br> Not that that's ever happened. All right. Alison says, Jeff. Alison on Facebook, when can scores be expected? Alright. I've been doing CPA exam score release predictions since the beginning, and I was the first one doing it because people always wondered when scores are going to come out. So I started tracking when scores were released and I was able on several occasions to nail the dates and the sequence.<br> <br> For four out of the four sections. Um, usually window one was always my best window too. I was often over four. So that made for a nice average of two for four, which if I was a baseball player hitting 500, I, I'd be a Hall of Famer. Right. Um, so here's the deal. Uh, the score release process since another 70 one.com started doing the score, release predictions and, and started getting attention.<br> <br> The powers that be really tried to clamp down on the information that was leaked. So pretty much all of the information is on lockdown and. They have taken to social media to give vague announcements like scores are coming out soon. Um, so pretty much they didn't like this blogger guy being their voice.<br> <br> So they've taken that over and. So what's going on with score releases now is in theory, supposedly this is supposed to be the last testing window that they released scores like this, AKA in the third month of the quarter, all at once. There used to be window one, window two, Oh, excuse me, wave one and wave two and now it's just wave two.<br> <br> Supposedly they are going to be releasing scores a lot sooner now that they have a, a good sample size of exams starting in January when they switched over to the new exam format, did a little switcheroo. So, um, all of that to say it's impossible to predict what the AI CPA is going to do because they do something diffe...
