report card day

Academic judgment day

Report card day is the day students receive their academic evaluations, typically at the end of a grading period.

The phrase evokes childhood anxiety or anticipation about grades: I've been dreading report card day.

Figuratively, any moment of judgment or accountability: Election day is report card day for politicians.
