Has anyone tried calling the office to see if they know anything?

I imagine getting a nasty response about waiting like everyone else has done for the last 100 years. However I could put my Dale Carnegie inspired schmooze on and see if I get anything at lunch.

I'll let you know if it's fruitful.

I think you're probably right! However, always a slight possibility that you'll get someone who is
a) very kind, or
b) quite bad at their job, such that they don't know or care about the protocol for giving out info!

I've considered calling myself on the above bases, but it's an expensive call for me as i'm international. Would be interested to hear if you have any luck!

Well here's the game plan, wish me luck.

1) Don't call like an anxious bar taker, call them about something else you are considering.

2) Let them talk and feel important

3) Lower level person cannot respond but feels important, possibility of them finding someone who does know.

Repeat steps making high level person feel important ask for a window don't probe about date specifically but just enough info to draw an inference and ensure they don't get in trouble either.

I don't plan on asking for a date specifically, just enough to Rule out/or consider scores being imminent and a window in relation to Halloween if release is not imminent.

Are we certain that they know our scores? Did we just get the ability to request a score report? Do people in other jdx's not have the option of requesting a score report?

+1. I don't think one is indicative of the other.

LAST YEAR I passed the July bar - now granted it was the "old" NY bar, but they gave us ZERO warning, and I only found out because I checked my email at 8am on the toilet at the end of October sometime.

The email line doesn't give you any clues - however my memory of it is once opened, the email does tell you whether you failed or passed. There's also an attachment with the details.

Good luck everyone!

I read "I passed the July bar" and my heart jumped. Next time, maybe lead with "Last year, I passed the July bar." But thanks for the info.

I'm going to be too scared to open the email. Don't know what to do. :( Should I give my phone to someone else in my family to open the email for me? But it would be so embarrassing if I failed.

They'll find out anyway... But I did do that for a college acceptance e-mail, so I won't judge.

I think I did a good enough job of being nice enough not to piss them off.

Going back to the February 2015 thread, those folks got results at 5PM. For the most part, they release at midnight.

Interestingly enough, that crew noticed the website down at midnight the day the scores came out....idk I'm kinda done hypothecating, the egg timer will buzz when it's done lol.

NYLJ publishing something is sporadic at most, you can't find their article for every bar exam over the last few years. It all depends, I wouldn't hold my breath looking for it, ask the folks who took the exam in February 2015.

the message about the BOLE site being down for maintenance has been updated. It now says the applicant portal and foreign evaluation will be down at 5pm....my desperation for results is probably making this something out of nothing though :(

on a brighter note - 1st post ever :)

my issue with the site maintenance hypothesis is that there could often be site maintenance but people just notice in the end of october bc of bar results.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
