I'm pretty nervous. I felt decent after the exam...but when I logged onto this website and realized that everyone else felt pretty confident, I didn't feel like I did that well after all. I almost think that the more "fair" the exam is, the harder it is to pass. So, now it's very borderline for me.

BTW NYC Triathlete, do you do triathalons? I did 2 last year and will be doing 1 this year.

You don't like to wait, and you don't like the 1-4 results being released early?
Oooooooh-K.
First-born, eh?

That is a witty comment I have to admit, but I don't like waiting and I don't like the results being released early. It's very simple. Now we have to wonder all morning Thursday anticipating another early release, and we'll probably have to go through the whole anticipation thing Friday all over again. In addition to not knowing if we are going to pass, we now have to wonder when it is we'll find out if we passed. I suppose the next step is to not tell us exactly when the exam will be.

I have been checking the SOA website every 15 minutes or so since last Thursday. I have even tried different combinations in the web address to get to my result - nothing has worked so far.

I am thinking has our fate been decided by now? Are the grades finalized and only need to be put into SOA system or can someone still pass or fail between today and D-day?

I vaguely remember my exam id and will quickly go thru the numbers released to see if that number is in there. If yes then i will confirm it by looking at my ticket. if not then i will still have a chance cuz i may not be looking for the right number. see how psyched up i am.

Everybody: IT'S JUST AN EXAM!!!! UNCLENCH!!!!

Getting tweaked now won't change your grade or make the pass list come out any earlier. You're fretting yourselves for nothing. The list will come out in it's own time, and you'll have your answers soon enough. Take a deep breath and chill.

If you're that nervous, go study for Course 5. Channel your nervous energy into something useful.

Too much emotion being invested here. What kind of actuaries are you folks planning to be (or already are)?!?!
I'm not anxious. But just like at my wedding, I wasn't nervous until the music started, and I actually had to do something.

I heard that results for 1-4 came out a day early because some companies were complaining about their students wasting away a whole day checking every 15 minutes to see if results were released. Of course, now we have to waste away potentially 2 days. The only logical thing to do is release ours on Wednesday.
