Default Where do you go everyday at 3?

Where do you get your fix? Do you check CAS website or here first or do you madly refresh both?

1) I go to the source and check CAS http://www.casact.com/admissions/pas...fm?fa=passnum5

2) Why bother with CAS, this Forum rocks and I get results faster!

3) I madly check both

4) 42 - Results? I'm a fellow, makes no matter to me!

Around 3 I'm off to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

I don't count on the RF/AO or CAS... I count on my co-workers...

Or I just don't care that much...

Which option should I pick?

On the CAS website, will it ever say what day the results will be released for each exam or will the text "Not yet available" switch straight to a link with the passing numbers?

Essentially I am asking, is the next step for the CAS website to tell us what day each exam's passing numbers will be released, and later followed by posting of the numbers?

Or is the next step posting of the numbers?

P.S. I am pretty sure this post is unclear, but hopefully somebody who knows the answer will understand what I am asking...

This is what they'll do. If they post results, for say exam 3, they will activate the link for exam three along with a note that says, "No other results will be released today." They won't post anything if no results are released that day.

Since this is my first CAS exam, I could be wrong. So far, I am convinced that there is no predictable pattern to the release dates.

In order to keep my finger off of F5, I have generated 5 random release dates (Exams 3, 5, 7U, 7C, and 8) using Excel. I wonder how accurate are they compare to the "educated" guesses out there.

My randomly generated dates are:

Code:
Exam #		Release date
3		June 19
5		June 26
7U		June 14
7C		June 21
8		June 29
