It appears that the REG scores will be the last section released in the first wave of scores. The wait is killing me. I heard a rumor that scores could be released last night, so I checked 4 times in the middle of the night. Clicking on the “submit” button to get your score and […]

It sucked so bad that I looked forward to the next business law question. I didn’t finish one tab of my last sim. […]
