I am trying to schedule my test in a way that I have to wait the least amount of days to get my score. I had to wait almost 1 month and a half for me FAR score since i took it in the very beginning of the window and it was torture. My job is not that flexible in Q4 since we pretty busy, so im trying to figure out what day to pick.

Looking at the NASBA website, the following release schedule details for day 21 to 45…

Day 21 – 45 6 business days following day 45 of the testing window get score on/about November 26

I am trying to figure out what Day 45 is.. I am getting November 14th but that is because I am counting Sundays. Is this right?

Does anyone else do this to shorten their waiting period or am I just the only crazy person out there?

I think the way to wait the shortest amount of time is to schedule it the last day of the testing window. Day 45 would be something like November 14 or something. You'd still have to wait about two weeks. Take it the last day of the testing window (November 30) and you should receive it within 10 days or less, at least that was my experience in May.

yea thats true – thats how I scheduled two of my exams, but I dont think I can take it in the end of the window due to work.

Well, then I think to arrive at day 45, you'd just start at October 1st and count 45 days (including weekends) to the 45th day, which I do think would be the 14th of November. Taking it at the beginning of the window like you did for FAR is the longest wait you could possibly have. Try the 13th/14th, I think that'd give you the least wait time if you can't do it at the end of the window.
