Default 3:00pm seems much later in the day today

What's the deal? They said they would post them by 3:00pm and they're still not up!

The SOA is in Illinois, which is GMT-5. Adjust your watch accordingly.

Completely unfair just the same. One guy I know already has a protest written for one of the upper exams. Only 11 score revisions for individual students since 1995.

Grades will be released about:
July 11 for Courses 1-4

· On the day that grades are mailed, a 24-hour
"AUTOMATED HOT LINE" (847) 706-3579 will open at 5
p.m. (Central Time).
To access this hot line, a candidate must
have a candidate number and use a touch-tone telephone.
Only pass/fail information (not exam scores) will be available
through the hot line.
· A list of passing candidate numbers will be available on the
SOA's web site (http://www.soa.org) under the Education and

Ah, but how 'bout the discrepancy over the past 4 years:
May '01, results came out at 4:15pm Friday
Nov '01, results came out at 5pm Friday
May '02, results came out at 8pm Thursday
Nov '02, results came out at 2pm Friday
What's a girl to do?

Using the middle of each month for those data points yields a posting time of 3:52pm using least squares.

Wow...you should pass solely based on that analysis. Although I wish the Thursday release date would have brought the expected posting time down to, say, 11:30am EST.

Avi's quote states when the hotline will be available, not when they will be posted on the website.
