North Carolina just posted their results this morning. I passed the lateral on my second try. I passed the vertical last fall so I guess I can put this exam to bed officially now!
It is a helluva exam, so keep putting in the work and yall will all get the results you want, and it will be worth the wait.
Regarding taking two components vs. one component, it seems like I am in the minority but I don't think it is a bad idea to take both at once. First, much of the analysis and all of the codes overlap between the two components. Secondly, even though I only passed the vertical component last October, I felt like I knew exactly what to expect on the lateral this April because I had already taken one shot at it. Obviously, some depends on how many attempts your employer will help you pay for. Fortunately for me, my employer footed the bill for the exam both times I took it, which helped a lot. To each his own, but I think there is enough overlap that you can take both on one weekend, provided you can handle the sheer exhaustion that hits by Saturday afternoon.
Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear their results.
