Where do you see the score report....?

In CA they give us the scores almost a day late but they have a score report showing stronger, weaker or comparable on each section. Like for example ( governmental Accounting - tells you if you’re stronger , weaker or comparable)
And the sims as well! So if you fail you kinda know what areas to focus on.
I don’t know if the other states do the same.🤷🏻‍♀️ those few hours of not knowing your scores in CA is daunting but worth it after all

Decision - I was out the door of my nationwide ins dfense firm. Was going to top local firm with a lot more clout where everything would be private pay and I’d be more on bigger exposure cases. However, my firm outmatched the new firm, made a much better bonus structure, and said I could do more work with their complex bus lit group. I’d still likely do about 50 percent ins defense but I really like the partners I work for, and I handle own cases/take depos, and get autonomy. Am I right to stay?
