Exam - 201 KAR 1:190. Two changes. The first is to allow for continuous testing. Currently there are four windows with testing taking place in the first two months of each window and into the first week of the third month. The rest of the third month in each window is “dark” meaning no testing is allowed. The AICPA, NASBA, and Prometric are proposing that the windows be eliminated and candidates be allowed to test every month. The only restriction will be they cannot schedule to retake a section unit they receive a score. The plan is for this to go into effect in July of 2020.
The other change is that the Board will allow a course(s) taken by an exam candidate at a school that is not accredited by one of the 6 regionally accreditation agencies to receive course credit if a KY college or university granted the course credit when the student enrolls in the university.
