The trend is pointing towards earlier releases. Pre-UBE it came out around early Nov. late, late, October. Last year it came out Oct. 22. With fewer people taking this July exam (and NYS BOLE getting into the grove of UBE essays) my guess is October 18.
I think I passed, but, I also would not be surprised if I failed. It's the MEE/MPT I'm unsure about. The MBE I feel I did fine. Anyway, the wait will be over in less than 2 weeks

I agree- I think it will come out late next week but the wait is killing me. Especially being at work knowing I will have to tell everyone I failed.
I feel the opposite- felt good about the MEE/MPT (except for the property/secured trainwreck...) but feel like I have no idea how the MBE went.

10/26 seems late considering last year came out 10/23 with more takers

I am going to predict Monday 10/22/18 after 5PM. That will be 89 days from the exam whereas last year it was 90 days. A table of past NY July release dates is below. Please note some results are released late in the evening but the release date is regarded as the following day. It almost certainly will not occur while you are at work, but you never know with NYBOLE (they have released between 9AM-5PM 3 times in the past including last F18).

I am a re-taker and when my results came out for the February bar, I was at work. I got my results about 11:00am.

I really hope they do not come out while I'm at work...and JoeSeperac- does your prediction take into account the decrease in takers in each consecutive year?

Can you do a D.C. prediction too?

Sorry not a clue about DC or NJ. For NY, my prediction does take into account the decrease in takers. Based on the prediction of 10/22/18, I am assuming that 7 graders will grade for 8 hours per day for 2 days a week (complete guess) for a total of 116 questions per day. This would correspond with 117 questions per day in J17 and 116 questions per day in J16. But honestly its anyone's guess because NYBOLE does hold the results for a few days and probably just arbitrarily decides when to release them. For example, The July 2010 results appeared unofficially on Above the Law on November 5, 2010. According to a Wall Street Journal article dated November 8, 2010, the results of July's bar exam in New York were released early after someone culled part of the unreleased "pass list" from the NY BOLE website and posted the names online. John McAlary, executive director of the state Board of Law Examiners, said the board was preparing the names for release on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 and Wednesday November 10, 2010 when they learned that someone had leaked the names. NY BOLE decided it was fair to immediately send out the full results by e-mail. So basically in J10, they could have released on 11/5/10 but were planning to release on 11/9/10.

Earlier than expected, I believe. I thought NJ said Nov 1. Hopefully they release NY ahead of schedule.

I'm reaching the point of panic waiting...
Has anyone called BOLE? I saw in the NJ thread that people had been calling.

Just logged into my BOLE account now. Can't seem to be able to change your address now. I had the impression you could still change your address up until October 15th after a July exam? Can anyone confirm this, please?

I actually called them!

They said "address change feature is under maintenance for about two weeks"! So make what you will with that.
