I'm not getting anything done today at work. I didn't sleep last night and I can't focus. I think I'm going to leave at 3 and just be home for when we find out.

I'm in the exact same boat. As soon as I think it may be OK, panic and worry begins to set in. The anticipation for the results is worse than taking the actual test!

[pdx123]

how are they going to announce results first - will we get an email before the press release with all the names is out?

[drs36]

They just toss them up on the website. Last year, they had them up at exactly at 4 p.m. Good luck to everyone.

[VSCPGH]

I find myself trying to find secret URLs that may have the press release on them so I can just know and get it over with.

The MBE was so awful I just don't feel good. How many can you actually get wrong and still pass? I did awful on MBE related stuff all along. I am so paranoid. I can't re-take this or tell people I failed.

I'm leaving work early today. I'm not too concerned right now, but I rather be away from the legal setting when I find out the results. I haven't told any of my co-workers about today's release date.

[pdx123]

same. I assume they'll just update this one: http://www.pabarexam.org/pdf/release.pdf?

Yeah. I keep inserting "july" in the links as if I have any coding experience whatsoever (I don't) but I need to just relax... which I am incapable of doing.

[arglebargle]

I'm a mess. My mind is restless, and I can't function.

The morning session will haunt me for the rest of my life if I failed...

[Incubateus]

My biggest failure was likely in the essays. I just didn't manage my time well enough and I also missed a few rules/issues. However I did write down all of the essay topics right after the exam and self-graded by memory and guessing. I'm gonna end up comparing my self-graded score card to my real one once it's released. Hopefully I did at least as well as my self-grade (which gave me an average of 13.3 points per essay).

But here's to praying...

Guys let's get some perspective up in here.

Affirmations:
I might fail.
If I fail, it is not a reflection of my intelligence.
If I fail, I will have a foundation upon which to study for February. It won't be like starting from scratch.
If I fail, I'll at least know what to expect on test day. It won't be the unknown torture it was in July.
If I fail, my friends and family will surround me with warm support and empower me to work hard again.
If I fail, I'm going to ignore the fuck out of everyone celebrating and focus on my own self-care.
If I fail, I am going to do things that make me happy this weekend and re-evaluate come Monday or next Monday.
If I fail, this is just one aspect of my life in which I will have to try again. There are so many other aspects of my life that I am already successful in.
If I fail, I will not be an psychological victim to this weird hazing ritual. It will be a small misstep in an ultimately long and rewarding career.

If I fail, I vow to be kind to myself.

I just really want to be drinking champagne this evening, not putting on netflix and feeling sorry for myself

So much this.

[spacecaps]

4 pm is so cruel. is there any hope it will be sooner?!

[VSCPGH]

One of my friends who I used to study with all the time found out last night (through connections) that she failed.

I'm screwed.

Omg how did she feel about it when she took it?

I mean, not well, but none of us felt well after MBE day.

I should just assume I'll be back at it in February and move on

Sending compassion her way. I'm sure it was just a series of flukes.

That's awful! I'm right there with you.

[chestnutbrowncanary]

can anyone think of a compelling reason for why they are posted so late in the day, besides hazing?

I was tempted to click the email link and just send "POST THE RESULTS" in huge letters but then wondered if they would conveniently forget to list my name if I did

I assume they don't want a deluge of angry phone calls, and that's why they release them at 4 pm on a Friday of a holiday weekend.

[WaitingTooLong]

I really wasn't nervous about this wait until today. It's weird. And now I cannot seem to do anything.

So, what have we figured out on where the results are gonna be? What's the URL we go to?

[VSCPGH]

So since I'm completely losing my mind, I just tried to apply for the February exam (deadline is Oct 30) and it wouldn't let me.

SIgn?

Or too early?

Or I need to go get a cocktail and relax? (not an option)
