October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[RBHeadge PE]

Hello fellow NoVa person!

tbh I met my five closest friends now on Twitter.  Let's do it.

Alright, if the results come out this week, lets try to work out some sort of celebratory meet up.

Anyone else in the DMV?

Anyway, it’s 8:30 in California so I have to get back to work so I can be a professional and think about the impacts of my unproductivity.

How much more transparency than "8-10 weeks" do you need? 8-10 weeks, we're not even at 7 full weeks yet. People are acting like NCEES told us results will be out in 4 weeks and we're still waiting.

^THIS^

Happy birthday, it's mine as well. Wonderful way to spend it right?

I have so much to do and i can't stop checking NCEES.... Happy Birthday to you too!

 

[Anthr_Engr]

would you take the exam again this friday if NCEES promised results before you left the test site?

yah

Curious, what is the amount of time added to CBT exam result release when they also require  cut score meetings?

This is a very good question 

 

[ECE@PE]

I just dont get why they cannot be more tranparent, I mean we are customers that paid for the test. Let us know a release date. If you miss it no problem give us a new one with a reason. All of us run project and have an end date. 3rd nightmare yesterday eveyone was getting results and mine would just never come and they dint grade my scantron cuz of a coffee stain on it.

They gave you a release window.  8-10 weeks.  What more do you want?

 

[ECE@PE]

A date would be great really. 8 to 10 weeks is a long time.

Omg no, can you imagine the revolt in the threads if they had to keep missing a date for any reason?  People are already losing their shit and we're not even at the 8-10 week mark.

 

[aspiringWRE_PE]

y'all I am really worried its going to be next week... Monday would be 52 days since the exam and that's the latest that they have released it (on the first day) according to the PE release history chart.

 

[WaitingonResults]

Ok, from now on they say 70 days from the exam date.  Then it starts coming out sooner, and people lose their collective minds again.  Treat day 70 as the release date.

Lol actually you have a great point. The anxiety just suks. The FE was great results came in early like in 5 days.

Look.

The 8-10 week window means they could very well release the results in January.

It USUALLY comes out early, but it seems like it might not this year.

Let's all use EB to shoot the bull and pass the time, not to have a collective panic session.  We'll get our results when we get them.  Until then, let's all just hang out and hope.

I hear you. I sat through that waiting period three times before I finally saw the green button!

I'm going to use this approach with my clients and will report back on how well they accept it. Stand by...

No but but but I want the results today. You do have a valid point.

I'd like a more honest release window. Results have been released earlier than 8 weeks for all but a couple of tests in the last fifteen years. In the past 10 years, they've typically been released before the end of week 6.

Ok, an update, it has been 30 seconds and I am now fired.

Looks like it doesn't fly for anyone who has a choice!
