Only 4 more sleepless nights....

I wish it was over with already!!

Are you not sleeping at night? Gosh that's awful - you should try some natural remedies - like chamomile tea or something.

I find it hard to think about anything else, but it's more just impatience with knowing where I stand than actually losing sleep thankfully. Although I'm sure the night before will be dodgy

Never mind the fact that you won't get a salary increase for another year, lose out on the exam bonus if applicable and lose all your annual leave again for next summer and presumably resort to unpaid leave again..... But hey, whos complaining?

upnorthchick

Bonus?? what is this ! lol never got one for passing any exams!

I know! hard to believe it's only wednesday.....
Was mad to just get the results and be done with it but now I'm not so sure...as they get closer, the fear of failing just builds!

kitten_k

I am just trying to keep thinking that if I failed again, I failed there is nothing I can do about it.

Hopefully I got it this time and I am finally finished these exams!! Took me ages to get MABF/SFMA so feel like I have been doing these exams forever!

upnorthchick

aww lads stop the count down lol
ive took friday off now in fear that i have failed.
Good luck to you all though.... really hope pass rate is up !

kitten_k

Good luck to you too upnorthchick

figrolls

What are the odds on the student portal crashing, would anyone say?
I miss the good old pdf already.

I'm thinking of taking a sleeping pill tomorrow night. Do NOT want to be awake at 5am Friday waiting for the minutes to roll by!

upnorthchick

go for a couple of drinks tomorrow eve! stay up as late as possible!

figrolls

Im thinking a bottle of wine may have to be consumed - as a sleeping aid of course!

upnorthchick

Thinking positively, I don't want to have a delicate stomach for the champagne reception and boozy lunch the firm's putting on at lunchtime.

(Plus, I had a good few glasses of whiskey for CAP 2 repeat results eve last year and was still awake at 5am.)

You guys notice that there is "essential maintenace" on the icai website today? i tried to get into my results portal earlier and it took an age to open. I wonder are they putting the results up now provisionally and will make it available friday?

Well, the results section is up there now all right. I can remind myself of my FAILs in the mocks.

upnorthchick

they do that - the results go on the server but are automatically released at certain time on friday. and they will be up before 8 am ! they told us 8 last year and they were up at half 7 or so.

Ex 88

Yeah the AAFRP result were up earlier than expected too

What are people expecting results wise on Friday?
Anyone you speak to automatically says fail but I guess often thats the fear of coming across too cocky.
Personally, I think I got my elective (audit)
But core is 50/50. I didn't pick up that second tax indicator and couldn't even have a stab at the mgmt indicator...

pepp

:eek::eek::eek::eek: extremly :eek:

EveT

I dont think friday will ever come! Im also not sure I ever want it to come!!

I noticed that aswel with some of the results tabs on the student portal, it says maintenance is being carried out! So what way will these results be..will there be a new tab just that says FAE ? I feel sick with the thought of it!!
