emissions question

Will I fail emissions if I have a bad 02 sensor after the cat?

My SES light is not always on, so if it happens to be off during the emission test, will I be fine?

I know I failed my emissions simply cause my CEL was on, I passed on everything else, so If you CEL is on you probably wont pass.

Not sure about the Rear O2, I've heard if fully warmed, you can pass with a faulty rear o2, but then I've heard you cant if any o2 is not fully working.

Why not slap in a new o2 sensor, then go for emission so you wont waste $25 or so?

Yeah I was going to do that, but I always procrastinate and I dont know where I can get an 02 sensor by tomorrow and have my emissions checked by then....
