If you sat a CPA Exam section and the AICPA received your data by 15 August 2026, your target score release date is 25 August 2026. Here is what to expect and when to check.
CPA score release schedule (2026)
| Data received by | Target score release |
|---|---|
| 15 August 2026 | 25 August 2026 |
| 7 September 2026 | 15 September 2026 |
| 30 September 2026 | 9 October 2026 |
| 23 October 2026 | 10 November 2026 |
Scores are typically posted on NASBA's CPA portal within about 48 hours of the target date. Some state boards add extra processing time before you can see your score, and the exact timing can vary from person to person due to quality-control checks.
How to check your score
Have your NASBA or state-board login ready before release day so you are not scrambling. Your score appears in your NASBA CPA Candidate Account (or your state board's portal), and the AICPA cannot score your section until it has received your file from Prometric.
Missed the August 15 cutoff?
The next Core-section target release dates are 15 September (data in by 7 September) and 9 October (data in by 30 September). Check the official NASBA score page for your jurisdiction's specifics, as Discipline-section dates and some boards can differ.
While you wait, keep your skills sharp with free accounting and finance practice questions on Professional Career Club, with instant feedback and no signup needed.
Dates are as published by NASBA and AICPA and can change; confirm your jurisdiction's schedule on the official NASBA score page.
