Regarding the release, I'm pretty sure wave 2 is often on Thursday instead of Friday. It just depends on how the business days fall.
For example, in Q2 this year, the 2nd wave release was on Thursday, May 22 because the target date was Friday, May 23rd (six business days after the 15th, which is the 45th day in the window since April has 30 days). For August this year, the release will be Thursday the 24th of August, because the target date is Friday, the 25th (six business days after the 14th, which is the 45th day in the window since July has 31 days).
I can't imagine a scenario where the release would be Wednesday. Does anyone know when scores came out in wave 2 during Q1 this year? Was it Friday or Monday? Just curious, since the target date was Tuesday, Feb. 25th because the 17th was President's Day.
What can I say? I've got time on my hands. #needscorenow
