What do you do while waiting for score release?

    “There are no scores to display for this section.”

    Waiting is agony! Perhaps worse than studying all day is thinking about score release. This is my (hopefully) last exam and even though I think I failed, the wait is torture. So what do I do to pass the time?

    Paint my house. Not just one room, which was the plan, but multiple rooms, 3.6 gallons of paint and two trips to Home Depot.

    Read Score Release posts. Relate to most, laugh a little and realize I am still waiting….

    Clean and organize. I’ve rearranged so much furniture and cleaned my house top to bottom, it smells like cleaner.

    So fellow almost CPAs, what do you do to pass the time (and now clock!!) until scores are released?

    Since this is my last section: watch YouTube or Hulu and play Sims. If I was planning on taking another section I would probably start studying.

    I have started on FAR. 🙂 I took a couple of days right after the exam, but I was also pretty sick at that point. Now I am healthy and back on the study routine.

    Watch football, and root for Kansas City. But only because I need Arizona to lose. Selfish, I know. Sorry, Jeff.

    I go to work and go about my day like normal. What else is there to do?

    The day before, I check a few times throughout the day in case the scores are released early.

    Study for my last section…

    I was kind of sleepless last night, woke up several times, refreshed the NASBA website around 3am, made sure I passed, and then when back and slept nice and sound.

    I seldom had coffee during work but I had 3 now and it's only 2pm.. Thank god my company offers free coffee.
