One
of the most-searched questions among CPA candidates is simple: when will I
actually get my score? The AICPA publishes target score-release dates for every
testing window. Here is the full 2026–2027 calendar so you know exactly when to
expect your results.
How CPA score
timing works
•
For Core sections
(AUD, FAR, REG), your score-release date depends on when the AICPA receives
your exam data file after you test.
•
For Discipline
sections (BAR, ISC, TCP), release dates are tied to the end of each testing
window.
•
All dates below are
AICPA targets and can shift.
