What are you guys going to do while waiting for score released tonight ?
My plan is: take one melatonin pill and sleep till 7am next day. Then, I’ll check the score.
I live in the East Coast.
I'll probably end up doing what I always end up doing:
10pm – tell myself that scores won't actually be released until tomorrow morning after 6 (know that I am lying to myself but go to bed anyway)
2am- automatically wake up- lay in bed for 30 mins telling myself- they are posted but that I KNOW the site always crashes so go back to sleep.
2:30am against all better judgement get up and try to log on– only to not be able to get on
2:30-3:30am spend at least a good hour alternating between this site and NASB site hitting refresh until I am good and p–sed off and of course wide awake-
3:30 finally decide I am up for the day and make a pot of coffee
3:30-4:00am finally able to get onto NASB site- check my scores scream loudly / or yell the EFF word loudly- both of which typically wake up the husband who is not happy
4:30 calm down enough to try and go back to sleep on sofa
6:00am realize because of the pot of coffee I had at 3:30 that I will not be getting anymore sleep
6:15 make a second pot of coffee and proceed to log back into NASB at least three more times to make sure that the score I saw was actually the same score that was there at 3:30 am
Spend the rest of the day trying to get work done and study but in reality getting nothing done because I am sleep deprived and either too happy or depressed to concentrate on anything
GOOD FREAKING TIMES- GOOD FREAKING TIMES– the least NASB could do would be to hold score release on Fridays so you can write the day off and start the weekend early to either celebrate or drown your tears..
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WAITING THIS TIME!
and they ask me why I drink...
FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2
@Aspiring24- I'll be right there with you studying AUD- and no it really isn't worth waiting up for I honestly have never been able to get on before 3 or 4 in the morning– some people have but I have never been one of the “lucky ones”– with my FAR I wasn't able to get on until around 5am or so- with REG it was more like 2:30ish…. I never try to stay up but my subconscious always knows and wakes me up in the middle of the night and then you know you just can't help but try and look…. if your able to sleep through it and wait until the morning you will be a much happier person 🙂 GOOD LUCK

I am 6 hours ahead of central time, so when I go into work at 7am it is 1am score release time in America!. I always get on first thing and get my grade. Never had an issue with the past three tests.
B – 80
A – Waiting
R – 87
F – 79
First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
Reg / Nov 2015 - 87
Far / Apr 2016 - 79
Bec / May 2016 - 80
Aud / Aug 2016
The trick to getting your score before the NASBA site goes down is to try at 12:55AM. Worked both times for me. They tend to put up the scores a couple minutes before 1AM.
In the past, I've always waited until the morning to check it, but with this potentially being my last test, I'm extra anxious to see it. If it's true that the server tends to overload at midnight, it might be better for my sanity to take a melatonin and sleep through the mad rush.
Thanks @mckan514w & GOOD LUCK! I can't say I won't wait up, but I'll try not to..
It was my first exam to-date, so I am very anxious, excited, nervous..I left the testing center with a good feeling, but you really never know of these exams (from what I've heard). I didn't leave enough time for the WC's either. Still feeling pretty confident..
So glad I'm studying for Reg, it has killed all anticipation leading into today. I'm still not too optimistic about my performance on FAR…I think I rushed it.
FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
if you want things to change, you have to do something different
This is my first score release experience. I'll be studying for REG while trying to tell myself that they won't be released until tomorrow night (the 24th) lol.
I'm starting a new job tomorrow. Have to teach a class starting at 7:30 am. I don't want to be all depressed in front of the students, so I'll wait until after class to check. Then hope for the best!
BEC. 83. 9 Jan 2016
REG. 83. 30 Jan 2016
AUD. 92. 27 May 2016
I'm spending the day studying AUD and binge watching netflix.
I go to sleep like normal and check the score when I wake up. For BEC that was at 3 in the morning. I always hold out hope that I'll sleep until my normal time to get up but I doubt it ever happens.
