This article covers when and where to find your Part II exam results, how to understand them, and what to do next — including your pathway to Part III.
When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are typically issued within 14 business days of completing your exam. Turnaround time may vary depending on the volume of exams being taken.
Your results will be sent to the email address you entered on the exam when you sat.
You can also check your results on your APSCA profile under the Invoices tab. Please note it can take 2–3 business days after your email results are sent for your APSCA profile to be updated.
Important: Exam results will not be released until your exam invoice has been paid.
If your results are delayed, please check the following before contacting APSCA:
- Check your junk/spam folder for the results email.
- If your firm is paying, confirm with them that payment has been made.
Understanding Your Results Report
Your results report breaks down your performance across the four exam sections and shows your strengths and areas for improvement. The score required to pass is 75%.
For a detailed guide on how to read your results report — including how scoring works, what the section circles mean, how short answer points are calculated, and how to use your Top 5 areas of opportunity and strength — see the full guide:

What Happens Next
If You Passed ✓
Congratulations — this is a significant milestone. There is no deadline to progress to Part III, so take the time you need. Here are your next steps:
1. Audit Log — You must have an approved audit log before you can attempt Part III. If you have not yet submitted one, visit the Audit Log section of the Knowledge Bank for everything you need to know.
2. Part III Exam — Once your audit log is approved, you are ready to proceed. Head to the Part III Exam — Your Complete Guide for everything you need to book, prepare, and sit your final exam.
If You Did Not Pass
Your status remains unchanged. Here is how to prepare for your next attempt:
1. Review your results report carefully — pay close
attention to your Top 5 areas of opportunity and any
Additional Feedback on your short answer responses.
2. Work with your
Member Firm's training team to focus your study on those
areas.
3. Revisit the study resources and practice tools on
the
How to Prepare for the Part II Exam
page.
4. Make sure you use the full 2 hours
of exam time — don't rush.
When you are ready to rebook, you can generate your invoice in your APSCA online account — or if your firm is paying on your behalf, ask them to do so.
