Just for the sake of optimism, what is everyone doing WHEN they find out that they passed?

Drink.

So it increasingly looks like tomorrow will be the day. The TBLE website changed one of their announcements. The new announcement reads: "July 2016 Bar Examinees: Have you claimed your ATLAS account? Here's how to be sure........" unless I'm going crazy, the old announcement read differently.

The old announcement is still there, right below it. The announcement you're talking about has been up most of the day.

Trust me. When results are coming, you will know.

Ohh no I know that, but it's worded differently than when it first appeared in the morning. At least it looks like it to me. Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure, because I didn't need to claim my account so I didn't really pay too much attention. It just seems like it's worded differently, I don't remember reading the "here's how to be sure......" part earlier in the day.

Oh gosh... this whole "results might come out tomorrow" theory has me in a panick! I planned my trip to vegas based on results being released on Friday! I fly out tomorrow, so hopefully they release them before we take off or I am going to be bouncing up and down the whole time like a child waiting to land so I can get back online and check to see if I passed... I have never been so ready and so not ready for something in my life!

Good luck everyone! Hopefully tomorrow is the day!

At work trying to stay calm. Not working too well. Wish I had a bourbon in hand.

x2. I have a feeling it'll be tomorrow and they're having fun with us.

Can we expect Judge Willett send out his "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" tweet at any particular time before release?

EDIT: Just looked it up myself. Previous "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" tweets were sent out:
- Feb 2016, tweet at 10:50am, release around 1:30pm
- July 2015, tweet at 11:30, release was "imminent" "ten min"
- July 2014, tweet at 11:18am, release was "imminent"

No. Just keep an eye out at lunch time. February 2016, tweet went out at about 10:50 and we got results around 1:30.
It could be tomorrow though...

Hope results are released today! Good luck to ALL!!

[SuperPollito]

We're coming into lunch time, let's get this thing rolling!

I just got a text from my Supreme Court clerk friend too. She said she got an email that the BLE is trying to get results out today because they're stacked with meetings thursday/friday.

Good luck y'all! I remember this day being the hardest part of the whole process. Stick in there and celebrate the news later.

[LadyMary]

Also just got a text from someone at BLE saying today is the day.

Seconded. For me, the day of results release was more stressful than taking the exam itself. Torture. But it seems like the general consensus is the July 2016 exam wasn't quite as bad as July 2015. Here's to hoping everyone here gets some good news later today (or maybe tomorrow)

Just want to crawl in the fetal position and hide under my desk.

If that's the general consensus then I am screwed. Day 1: Good. Day 2: That went okay? I think . . . Day 3: Yup, I failed.
