1. It's not necessarily “Friday”. It's generally “one day before they say they're going to release them.” This window, they happened to say the release would come on Monday, so everyone is expecting them today.
2. I've seen them released as early as 10:00 AM but that was only once. The general consensus seems to be that they usually start sometime in the afternoon.
3. Scores come out by section, by NTS number. Check the first three digits of your NTS. Someone might post “NY 498 FAR” with their score. If you're “NY 451 FAR,” you're probably not far behind.
4. BEC is usually last. If you have a “borderline” BEC score (72-78ish), they will regrade the written portion of your exam and you might have a few days to wait.
5. The scores don't always come out all at once. When I passed REG, they had released FAR and BEC in the morning, AUD late at night, and REG not until the next day.
