Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Scoring
Scale. The examinations shall be scored on the scale of 99. The passing score
in each subject is 75. Scores shall be certified by the Illinois Board of
Examiners. Upon receipt of advisory scores from AICPA, or other entity or
vendor selected by the Board for that purpose, the Board will review and may
adopt the examination scores and will report the official results to the
candidate. The passing score will be established through a psychometrically
accepted standard-setting procedure approved by the Board.
b) Candidate Who Took the Exam for Another
Jurisdiction
1) All candidates who took the
exam for another jurisdiction must have all scores forwarded to the Illinois
Board directly from the jurisdiction for which they sat.
2) A candidate shall retain credit for any
and all test sections of an examination passed in another jurisdiction if that
credit would have been awarded, under then applicable requirements, had the
candidate taken the examination as an Illinois candidate.
3) A candidate who applies for a transfer of
credit from another jurisdiction shall pay the credential evaluation fee and
the application fee for any section not passed upon submission of the initial
application to test as an Illinois candidate; thereafter, the fee shall be for
re-authorization to test for each section not passed.
c) Transfer of Credits by Candidate Who Has
Passed the Examination as a Candidate from Another Jurisdiction
1) A candidate who has passed the entire
examination in another jurisdiction, may transfer the credits and receive a
certificate in Illinois provided:
A) the
educational requirements of the Illinois statute were met at the time of
initially taking the exam or at the sitting at which the candidate initially
passed the exam; and
B) the
applicant would be entitled to an Illinois certificate if the examination had
been taken under the Illinois statute and this Part.
2) The fee in force must accompany the
application for a transfer of credits for the entire examination.
3) Transfer of credits shall be accepted if
that credit would have been given had the candidate taken the examination as an
Illinois candidate under then applicable requirements.
d) Certificates by Acceptance of IQEX
1) The Board shall issue a certificate,
without examination, to any international applicant who has passed the AICPA
uniform qualifying examination for that jurisdiction acceptable to the
Board.
2) The fee in force shall be
payable by the applicant at the time of filing of the application for a
certificate by reciprocity.
