I agree. What is the purpose of this validation process anyways? It's not as if the states discard NCEES' results. Seems like it's nothing but bureaucratic red tape.
NCEES says that to everyone apparently, regardless of state. Same thing in Virginia. State board says NCEES has them, NCEES says state board has them. It's all BS.
My theory is that the ratification call has been on the calendar for a while. They wouldn't have known that NCEES was to report results on 12/14 so it's unlikely that's what it is. I'm rationalizing.
