I got it last night, not many options but found one locally next week. The only other option I found was for this Thursday which wouldn’t have been ideal for trying to cram in everything again.
Did you find anything decent?
I hear you there for sure. I haven’t been studying since May 1st with everything up in the air and need to refresh.
I selected next week as well on Wednesday.
I ended up with an evening timeslot at a center 30 minutes away. Not ideal, but I had a couple dates to choose from.
How’s it going out there?
For those that have retaken, how was your exam experience at Pearson Vue? (Nothing NDA related/specific to the exam. Just asking if it was a smooth experience with the computer/testing environment compared to May 1st.)
No issues other than the new format.
I still can’t believe they thought it was a good idea. It really adds 20+minutes at least
I wonder when they’ll have these things graded for this sitting since it affected all of the exams instead of just Exam 5 like in 2018.
Usually we’re around June 20th plus or minus a few days. But who knows now…
The new format is truly insane. Good luck with time management when the exam is presented in random order so you can’t tell how much progress you’ve made. And each subpart may or may not be its own question, so again you really have no idea how far along you are.
And typically the point of question subparts are that they are somehow related. Making the answer to part a inaccessible while you’re trying to answer part b is just crazy. What is the solution to this new problem that was needlessly created? Use a scratchpad with limited (at best) functionality.
We used to get a sheet that said, this exam is X points and Y questions. And it’d be presented in order and stick closely to the estimated syllabus weights. So you knew if you were falling behind or if you had a little extra time.
I guess I could go the navigator screen, write down the point totals on my dry erase notebook, add them all up, and cross my fingers that the navigation screen doesn’t cause the computer to crash.
My guess is that exam graders complained that the answers were too hard to find within an unstructured worksheet. So they implemented this “solution” with no consideration whatsoever on the impact to the exam taker.
How are y’all feeling? I’m really hoping we get some sort of update next week. I know last year and I think in some prior sittings that the first week of June had become a point where the CAS updates us on what week the results will come out.
Less likely I’m sure with the May 1st fiasco, but it would be nice to see some sort of update.
End of July for results, for those waiting on associate level results that’s brutal to not know what exam to prepare for until August.
I’m concerned they are going to go the opposite of lenient across the board and fail a record number rather than let too many through. Hope I’m wrong, I just don’t have faith in the process anymore.
We anticipate that all examination results for the entirety of the spring sitting will be available by the end of July. We understand that this delay may be frustrating, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
I hope we hear something from the CAS soon on a specific week/day the exam results are coming out. Maybe within the next couple of weeks they’ll clarify their “End of July” target.
It’s pretty crazy to think that this week last year results were coming out.
Yeah, it’s disappointing, to be sure. I had hoped that 75% of the grading could have been done at the original time and the much of the rest in parallel with some of the pass mark setting and analytics. But I can understand them wanting to be thorough in their review this sitting and cautious about setting a timeline they might not meet.
Looks like the CAS made a pseudo-announcement on timeline for grade release, but it’s more of a justification for the delay. Hopefully, we’ll hear something soon on the actual week results will be coming out…

In case anyone hasn’t seen it, I’ve included the link below. Looks like we are targeting the week of July 22nd for results with a specific day and timeframe to come in between now and then.
Just a few more days and we’ll get results

Do you know what the process is on how soon we can use the FCAS credential if we are associates already and this was our last exam?
I believe you can start using it immediately.
