Let W be a Brownian motion with drift \(\theta\), and let \(T=\inf \{t>0:\quad W(t)\geq \psi (t)\}.\) Under suitable conditions on \(\psi\) (t) the author obtains second order approximations to the density, mean and variance of the distribution of the first exit time T. Several examples including some in connection with sequential tests are discussed.
