You Did the Thing! Now, How Do You Find Out If You Conquered the CPA Exam in Illinois?
So you braved the multiple-choice monster and the soul-crushing simulations of the CPA Exam in Illinois. You deserve a high five (and maybe a celebratory beverage). But before you start engraving your name on the "Accounting Hall of Fame" trophy (which totally exists...trust me), you gotta see those sweet, sweet scores.
Here's the not-so-secret decoder ring to crack the Illinois CPA score mystery:
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
The ILBOE Website: Your One-Stop CPA Score Shop
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
The Illinois Board of Examiners (ILBOE) website is your official score oracle. Head over to [Illinois Board of Examiners] and navigate to the thrilling world of "Your Exam Score."
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
But Wait, There's More (Because There Always Is)
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
There are a few things to keep in mind before you dive into score central:
Score Release Dates: Not Set in Stone The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) releases exam scores to the ILBOE, but these dates can wiggle a bit. Keep an eye on the ILBOE website and their social media (because yes, accounting boards have social media...probably) for confirmation on the official score release day.
Your Online Account: The Score Battlefield Once the scores are released, log in to your ILBOE online account. Brace yourself for a battle of suspense, but hopefully not disappointment! Under "Current Exam Results," you'll see either your glorious score or a mysterious "W" which stands for "Waiting for Score" (don't worry, it's not a participation trophy).
The All-Important AICPA ID Number: Proof of Your Awesomeness If you see your score, along with a magical AICPA ID number, then you've officially passed that section of the exam! Do a victory dance (or at least a fist pump) because you've earned it.
