朗報です!
「Continuous Testing Rule Adopted」
タイトルを見ると、「Continuous Testing Rule って何!?」 ですが…
Window毎の受験ルールがなくなるということです。
つまり、不合格の科目は、合否発表後、次のWindowを待つことなく、いつでも受験できるということになるそうです。
2020年6月までに開始予定との事ですが。
受験者への影響
Window制があるせいで、2科目を同時進行で学習しなくてはならないなど
不便な点や困った状況になるケースもあったので、この変更は素晴らしいですね!
Expireする確率を減らせる受験制度になるので、いいですね!
ただ…
制約がなくなり自由になる分、受験プランも選択肢が増えるので迷ってしまう人もいるでしょうね(笑)
18ヶ月の期限が延びるか、なくなれば良いのにと思っていましたが
Window制の撤廃という変更になるとは!

The April 26 NASBA Board of Directors’ meeting cleared the path for continuous testing on the Uniform CPA Examination as the Board approved Uniform Accountancy Act Model Rule 5-7(a)(2). According to the revised Rule, when system changes have eliminated the need for test window limitations “a Candidate can retake a Test Section once their grade for any previous attempt of the same Test Section has been released.” A recent informal poll of the State Boards’ executive directors found that many states have already started to model their rules after the new Model Rule. NASBA President Ken L. Bishop told the NASBA Board that plans now call for continuous testing to begin by June 30, 2020.
Technically NASBA is over its transition to outsourcing IT operations to CGI (see sbr 2/19), but it may take up to six months to learn the nuances of working in this type of relationship, President Bishop reported. Now that a new large source of technical talent is available to NASBA, prioritizing new projects has become important for enthusiastic NASBA directors. Treasurer Jim Burkes observed that while IT restructuring was costly for NASBA, and has had an impact on the financial report, it was the right move.
