I know the old letters used to say Congratulations so just wondering. I guess I really don't believe it's true ... Am I reading it right?!

I'm checking my results when I get home from work. So far I've had a couple of "check you messages" sent to me from ibab. My guess is that I didn't pass...
That's exactly what happened to me. I got scared when. I saw the second email that maybe the first was wrong but was relieved to see they just wanted to confirm name
I am quite sure you passed as well !

I only got one message today, and havent opened it. Does this mean I probably failed?
I already got my C&F certification; so I am thinking I probably should have gotten 2.

Is that a bad sign? For all those that passed, did you receive 2 emails?
What did the second one say?livtcook wrote:Steve2207 wrote:What did the second one say?PrayingToTheBarGods wrote:Steve2207 wrote:lawst_ wrote:Don't be so sure.

I received 2 e-mails as well, 8:32am and 12:53pm. The "congratulations on passing..." version of it, not "pleased to advise"
I got the first email at 8:26 and the second at 1:02. The first email was my results, found in my ibab 'messages'. The second email prompted me to the website where I checked my messages from my processor. The second email asked me to verify my name for swearing in. I got the the 'pleased to advise' version since c&f is waiting on one of my work verifications.Steve2207 wrote:What did the second one say?livtcook wrote:Steve2207 wrote:What did the second one say?PrayingToTheBarGods wrote:Steve2207 wrote:lawst_ wrote:Don't be so sure.

ETA: A friend of mine failed, and recieved his email at the exact same time as I did (8:41) so I am thinking its bad news.Steve2207 wrote:Blackhawks_Fan wrote:Have you checked yet?

I havent opened it yet. I am hoping someone will tell me they passed and didn't get a second email. I am afraid to open while I am feeling so negative, and am hoping to feel more confident tomorrow. On a side note, I am already rehearsing what to tell the firm Monday in the off chance that they would stand by me for a second time. (I failed my first attempt and they kept me there.)

I'm no shill for Barbri or a salesperson for the company, but I know of at least nine lawyers who failed the Bar once (or more) and then re-took the Bar using ONLY Barbri's materials to pass. Some had prepped with Kaplan in the past. Others used Themis and then switched to Barbri. The lawyers who used Barbri focused their attention on PRACTICE QUESTIONS and then studied the heck out of the model answers. ONLY. These lawyers told me to focus on understanding the explanations.happyhour1122 wrote:Wow I havn't seen a single retaker saying I only used Barbri and passed
