When will February 2022 New York Bar Exam results be released?

Note that the New York State Board of Law Examiners seems to like releasing results on Tuesday through Friday most of the time (when releasing July results, they seem to like Wednesdays and Fridays, and when releasing February results, they seem to like Tuesdays, but of course, other days are possible). Like many state boards, they tend to avoid releasing results on Mondays, though in July 2017, they released results on a Monday afternoon.
