Seeing a lot on here about how the essays were hard--am I the only one who thought the MBE was the hardest part? I was certain of a very small % of my answers.

Same.

I'm just trying to distract myself with work/gym/talking to family so that I don't spend all night obsessively refreshing my email. Things got REAL today and I'm legitimately nervous!

I've heard a lot of talk about refreshing email. Are you all not about that push notification life?

Push notification is delayed by hours sometimes. Wondering if it is just my old iphone5.

Push notifications only check like once every 5 mins right? Unacceptably long wait when you're being neurotic about it.

Applicants in prior years reported getting the emails at different times for the same test, like some just before midnight and some just after.

This happened last year. I got mine last year on October 27th (Thursday) at 11:44pm, when we were expecting it around midnight. Others got theirs later. I'm not sure if the order is sent out as per pass/not pass score, name, or ID/seat number.

Thanks Toubro for posting that - I was just about to post the difference between a 'not passing' and a passing email. You'll know by the size of the attachment that you've passed (I didn't pass last year - mine was about 50 kb) and the passing attachment is just that page.

My Gmail extension for Chrome checks every 30 seconds or so.

Agreed I too felt that the mbe was harder than essay.

[ManOurHouseisGreat]

Is anyone here confident or did we all think the exam went poorly

[Toubro]

I appreciate the topic title change.

Felt like I missed a lot of issues on the essays. Hopefully didn't miss too many on the MBE

If I got two sentences in for the second MPT (albeit think I owned the first one), only 2 sentences for one of the essays, sufficiently bombed another essay, and expect a 150 scaled MBE, do I have the slightest chance, or should I stop wondering if I passed and start studying for February?

[myrtlewinston]

wonder why they choose to release the results around midnight. To rob us of our sleep, perhaps.

As if they haven’t given us enough nightmares!

I'll be honest: Only getting two sentences in for the second MPT is going to hurt you a bit. Each MPT is worth 10% of your overall score (think of it as two essays). It generally won't kill you to bomb one essay, but bombing two essays plus the second MPT isn't a good sign. Having said that, a 150 scaled MBE is a very good score, which may help you get over the hump. However, you're going to need that first MPT and the remaining 4 essays to be well above average in order to have a legitimate shot at passing. Good luck.

[fordham_636]

What are you basing that off of? Also, do you know if not putting something at all for an essay results in a zero, or would you just get whatever the minimum scaled score is and still get some points towards the 266?

[barrelofmonkeys]

my roommate just said she got her score

[barrelofmonkeys]

like seriously this is not a joke i saw her email

[jingosaur]

Checking in and shitting my pants.

Literally praying to get some late night work emails to take my mind off this shit.

I'm basing that off of previous exams I've taken in different jurisdictions. I will try to find you some links to articles that will also support my statement. As to your second question, I am not sure. Sorry,

So, it's actually happening? Email was sent out quite early.

That would be quite cruel. Like, I am probably on the verge of an ulcer...my body can't take this.
