NUS Exam results this semester are released before Christmas.

People will still complain, however, that it spoils their Christmas, notwithstanding the fact that they likely cannot be released earlier (marking constraints and having to shape the bell curve) or later (people will complain it spoils their New Year, and releasing results from 2nd January onwards would leave no time for appeals before the new semester).

Of course, if people don't want to spoil their Christmas or New Year, they can always check their results on January 2nd - they aren't going to run away. Hell, a hard copy of results is mailed to us 2 weeks from the date on online release, giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy their Christmas and New Year.

But then humans are irrational, so.
