last year for level 1, i did it at my desk at work.  now i am thinking i should go out to my car, and just check on my phone, my anger if i fail band 10 would surely get me fired

I’ve got a dentist appointment at 8. Planning on leaving my phone in the car, and checking when I get out. If it is not there yet , I will try to avoid looking at it while driving as I don’t want my fail to incite a road rage incident. WIll just wait until I get into the office.

you could be out in your car for hours dude.  what if you don’t get the result until like 11? at least TRY and be productive.  it might help take your mind off of it.
last resort - when you get the email run out of the room and into the hallway or out to your car and check it there.

i’m also considering not checking my e-mail all day and save it for when I get home around dinner time, but i’m pretty sure i’ll be way too anxious to hold off all day

Last winter for L1 I didn’t check until I got home at night. It wasn’t that hard to not check it at work because I’ve seen this girl burst out crying when she got her fail email during work, which taught me a lesson to never check at work. I’ll do it when I get home, in a safe environment where I can scream or cry or whatever and not feel bad. Then I’m heading to a weeklong biz trip so if I fail I don’t have to face my coworkers for a whole week.
The most annoying part is that everyone at work knows when results come out so I’ll be asked by a lot of ppl tomorrow… just want to be left alone.

I took vacation days from work for every results day. I still think it was the best avenue…if you fail you can wallow/drink it away early in the day and not have to deal with the world. If you pass you can celebrate all day and revel in it rather than having to refocus on work. I can’t imagine going back to normal in 15 minutes either way…so best to take the day and hope you are drinking champagne instead of whiskey by 10a.

I’d suggest that crying over the exam at work is more illuminating to Sr. Management on your upward mobility than passing or failing a level.  Limited ability to deal with stressful and perceived high stakes situations which is imperative depending on what capacity you are working in the industry.

Dumb mistake on my part: I packed the day with internal activities in the morning, a client outing in the afternoon, and a dinner to top it all.
It seemed like a good idea at the time to make sure I would not wallow in self-pity if things don’t go my way. But now that results are merely hours away, I realize it’s incredibly unrealistic. No way I’ll be able to put up a good front if I fail. Even though I half expect it, it will still be a hard blow.
Oh well - better brush up on Stoicisim 101.
