NEXT STEPS
Candidates who were unsuccessful on the 2020 CFE can choose to request a re-mark of their result and/or request a Performance Analysis Report (PAR), and/or register to retake the failed portion of the exam. For information on appeals and PARs, please visit this page.
Candidates who choose to retake have options depending on the day(s) they were unsuccessful:
- Candidates who fail Day 1 are required to repeat Day 1.
- Candidates who fail Day 2 or Day 3 are required to repeat both Day 2 and Day 3.
- Candidates who fail all three days are required to repeat all three days as part of the same CFE offering.
Information on future CFEs is available on the CPAWSB website and on My CPA Portal.
Retaking Day 1: DHC Candidates
Day 1 of the CFE is based on a Capstone 1 case. The DHC Capstone 1 case will be available at the next CFE.
Retaking Day 1: Marmami Candidates
Day 1 of the CFE is based on a Capstone 1 case, with each Capstone 1 case used for two consecutive offerings of the CFE. The Marmami case has now been tested twice and will not be tested again on the CFE. Candidates who used Marmami and were unsuccessful on Day 1 have the option of registering to write using the DHC case, which was used in the September 2020 CFE, or a new case. Both cases will be emailed to all eligible candidates once they become available.
Retaking Days 2 and 3
If you wish to register for Days 2 and 3 of the 2021 CFE, please disregard the Day 1 description on the registration page and choose either CFE option in My CPA Portal.
