Since the scores are once again delayed in 2018, I’m feeling like everything is against me passing. I know I may be jumping the gun since my first (and only) part doesn’t expire until March 2019, but how early should I apply to the state for a credit extension? I’m getting worried because I still have three parts left, I don’t feel like I’ll be able to find time to study during busy season, and that basically leaves only 3 score releases to sit. I know others are in a more time pressing situation than I am, and I’d love to hear how others are handing the score release timeline. It may help me not feel as defeated. Thanks as always guys!

I'd imagine the 2018 score release schedule is unlikely to be grounds for extensions. Thats pretty much what the score release schedule always was until the last 4 years or so and we just kind of rolled with it (not happily but what are you going to do?)

When I was taking the exam in 2015, there was at least 4-5 score releases in one window. So the most you really waited for a score was 3 weeks. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Set up like the 1st window in 2018.

Yeah it changed around 2013 so that is correct. When I was taking the exams 2010-2011 there was one score release about 2 weeks after the window closed so I took an exam on 1/3/11 and got my score around 3/16/11. It was atrocious to wait 10+ weeks but it was the way it was set up.
