Next Steps for Unsuccessful Writers

CPARE Re-marks

Re-marks are not available for the CPARE. For more information, refer to the CPARE Program Guide.

PDPA and PDPA Taxation Re-marks

PDPA and PDPA Taxation candidates may request a remark of their entire examination. Before submitting a request, candidates should carefully review the Interpreting Your CPA Examination Results letter for important information about the remark process.

Remark fees will be refunded if the examination result changes from Fail to Pass. Remark results are communicated by email.

To request a remark:

  1. Sign in to the My CPA Portal and navigate to the Exam Registration page.
  2. Select View beside the unsuccessful examination and follow the prompts.
  3. Complete the request by paying the examination review invoice.

The deadline to submit a remark request is published on the CPAWSB PDE Schedules webpage and is typically the Monday following the Friday examination results release.

Examination Rewrites

Learners who received an overall "FAIL" on their exam may choose to rewrite the exam at the next session without retaking the entire module. Specific details for CPARE and PDPA rewrites, including registration instructions, can be found in the CPAWSB PDE registration guide and relevant CPA program guides.
