You obviously made it through law school so keep those aspirations. No one will ever ask you how well you did in school or how many times did you take the bar so be positive.

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
Simultaneous-ish. Pretty much rolling for about 45 minutes. The public statement is usually the release the morning/afternoon after the emails.njnytaker2018 wrote:Sorry if this was already answered- So the prediction is Tuesday night for the results. Will the NY bar email us individual results and post it publicly, simultaneously? I hear in California they email results and wait about 3 days before posting it online.
Pretty much. That actually convinces me even more that the results are coming soon.JustHawkin wrote:Solid catch. Reading tea leaves here but, if that's the case, maybe they changed the language to be more ambiguous in case they aren't able to roll out scores at the time they expect (which is in the next day or two).

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
This is my first time having taken a UBE, so I had a question regarding results for those of you who’ve taken the exam in the past.
Does everyone get a score breakdown for the UBE? In terms of the pdf that’s sent to us, does it say like immediately when you open it “pass” or “fail” and then have a score break down, even if you passed?
I took the CA bar in July and we ended up getting unique 5-6 digit numbers on the last day of our exam, which we punched into the CA Bar website to see if we passed or not. We didn’t receive our scores if we passed so that’s the only thing that I currently know.
Thanka in advance.

+1 Passing means you get to move one. Not passing just means it's a delay until you move on.

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
Seeing all these posts and knowing that there are so many of us waiting desperately for the result makes me feel so much better and realize that I am not alone in this. We have come so far and we should be proud of it. I hope we all get reason to smile but even if we don't, stay positive and fight back harder. Try until you succeed!! Either way we will have a reason to get drunk this weekend.
Also, I feel that the result is going to be out tonight or at max by tomorrow night. Good Luck to all of you.

It will not come out tonight as it is already almost midnight. Probably tomorrow. I worked out twice today to get rid of some anxiety. I felt confident after the exam, but lately I am not feeling so confident. The waiting time is horrendous.

So when people say they keep refreshing the page, is it their email they are refreshing or BOLE or something else?

Agreed. I felt confident(ish) after the exam but since then it's been a roller coaster of thinking I failed miserably to thinking I may have a shot. Currently I'm thinking I failed miserably. The more time that passes the less confident I feel. Horrendous indeed.Barexamny22 wrote:It will not come out tonight as it is already almost midnight. Probably tomorrow.

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
I’m also refreshing email. Not sure what kind of indicators appear on the Bar website (outside of the list which I don’t think gets posted until the next day). It is interesting that the Bar website’s main page has had at least 3 different versions of registering for the July exam.Neilt001 wrote:Good question. It's an email we're waiting for right?

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
Just find something to do. You’ll get an email when your result comes. It was decided a while back and you’ve probably worked out every scenario (both for the exam and after). No amount of worry will change that.
This isn’t like the registration email where “time is of the essence.” Worrying about it is not going to make it come any sooner - nor it it going to make the wait any better. I’ve checked my email this morning. I’ll do one later today, and one late tonight. I’m not going to on the hour/every hour because it’s pointless.
It’s ok to be checking because you want to know - but all this “refreshing” pages stuff is a bit much. Even if you don’t pass, you will live. Life will go on. You will mourn, and after a while you have to do something. That’s the worst case scenario.
Again, stress will not hurry, nor ameliorate, the wait process. Nor will it change the result. When the email comes, it’ll be dealt with then. Maintain your sanity.

Re: 2018 February New York Bar
July 2017 taker here. Lurking because I have some friends who took Feb. 2018 and was wondering how close results were to coming out.
As for the refreshing, I knew results were coming out via my respective bar prep thread before I got my email because as someone above mentioned, the emails come out in waves. So, people began posting "I JUST GOT MY RESULTS" posts, and I got my email about five minutes after seeing the first one.
Good luck to all of you waiting. I know all too well how truly horrendous it is. Also, for some last minute encouragement: I didn't use any case law in the second MPT, left an essay completely blank, and bullshitted my way through another and still passed. You've got this.
