Thinking about trying to go into work late tomorrow so that I have the fewest hours possible sitting in front of a computer screen watching the time pass...

One Day More.
Tomorrow we’ll discover what our god in heaven has in store...
One more dawn.
One more day.

One Day More.

Good luck everybody.

[AcidaliaPlanitia]

[BigLawSmallConfdence]

You guys I'm freaking out.

[CaliforniaHopeful]

You guys I'm freaking out.

[Tlsftw44]

Lol, but I don't want to get fired I like my job

[BigLawSmallConfdence]

Are you serious fam?

[nervous_wreck]

You guys I'm freaking out.

I bet you did better than you think right now.

Your mind is focusing on what can go wrong and the things you feel like you answered wrong. Try to focus on how you felt when you left the test--you were probably more confident then than you are right now.

I still think at this point there is a high high probability we are all creating a lot of this out of sheer worry. I'm freaking out all the time too and I dont know if i can even muster the courage to check. This really really sucks.

Yeah dude. Whenever I think about clicking and seeing my results pop up on the screen... having all these months of wait vanish in a second is so scary. I even looked to see what the difference is between passing or failing so you can tell immediately apparently if you pass you will see your name show up if you failed you won't see it so I feel like within a second I will be able to tell... I really
Hope you pass!! Then you can sigh a breath of relief and celebrate.

On the admissions status page, under the "CALIFORNIA BAR EXAMINATION" section, has anyone's updated this morning to say the requirement is satisfied? I doubt it will change before the list goes out, but I am just curious.

Thanks a lot. I too wish myself and everybody good luck. May god bless us to handle our destiny in this Legal profession in d best possible way by giving the positive result today.

So true. I checked two times earlier and my name didn't appear. I kept on checking in different browsers but still my name didn't appear. I was literally crying in front of my kid and wife. It is difficult to give CBX exam while living in VA and do full time job to make the living where breaks r not allowed apart from weekend. God help us all.

[qapla]

I am an absolute wreck today!

"Results will be available in 10 hours"

[a male human]

I'll be coming back home early today before 6 to celebrate/commiserate with you. Best of luck!

[Alt123]

For the results we need our:

(1) Applicant number
(2) File number

However, my badge and ticket list my applicant number as being 4 digits, but the exam soft upload confirmation adds a leading 0. I assume trust the badge/ticket?

Just my $0.02....

I find InterAlia's posts anxiety inducing (because most of us don't want to think about what we wrote on any specific answer--it only creates stress, and even if you bombed one specific answer, you could've crushed everything else and still passed, so no need to dwell on individual responses).

SFAssociate: I'm on the same page. Especially, let's focus on "good luck to everyone on this thread, good vibes to everyone, let's just hope we can all pass together."

When I think about what I wrote, well, I can't really remember. So I don't give AF.

My thing is this: I truly worked my ass off to pass. While I suppose I could've done a few more MBE questions and written a couple more essays, the fact is that I prepared hard and was indeed well prepared for that test. If I failed, I have nothing to be ashamed of and I'll be some pretty damn good company. Yes, it'll suck to have to do it all over again, but right there is what's important: I can take it again. My family isn't going to stop loving me, I'm not going to be thrown out onto the street; I'm not going to be made to walk naked through downtown while townies chant, "Shame. Shame. Shame."

If I didn't pass it'll be because of some flaw in my technique and I already have some pretty good ideas what those flaws may have been. So whatever. At this point I'm looking forward to seeing the result, regardless of what it is.

This. Right there with ya on this. Good luck everyone, praying for you all! And praying that I myself just don’t explode from the anxiety.

If you didn't pass, it's because you didn't perform competently. I'll bet that triggers a couple of you. If I didn't pass, it's because I didn't perform competently. Period. If my posting about the issues I spotted makes you anxious, I'm guessing it's because you made the same mistakes I did. If so, you should be anxious. If you don't give "AF," then why are you here? Of course you give AF.

Keep on keeping on friends!

Well, you could perform competently on some parts, and not on other parts.
You either... Pass, or you ... Learn.

To those who "learn" tonight: Carry on, and come back to show them what you learned.

Yes. You. Can.
