My school required you to take the FE at least one full semester prior to graduation. I was a December grad so I ended up taking it 3 semesters before graduation.
FE at 21.
PE at 31.
I was dreading the same thing! I called and finally got a voicemail Friday, at the end of the workday, saying that they just send over everything you send them plus the PASS letter. whew.
I finally got a response from CTS regarding those who passed. They actually forward your whole packet (everything you sent to them) to the state with your Pass letter when you pass.
IL uses CTS (Continental Testing Services) for exam administration. They sent letters in the mail last week (I passed!). I haven't received anything from NCEES (thru email, nor thru snail mail) and it also wasn't updated on my NCEES account.
That was themost confusing part of applying. Nowhere does it mention who the experince should be sent to, or if it should be submitted separately from the exam application. I submitted everything together, but worried whether that was the correct process... or not?
There is a post about halfway down the thread on the link below that includes an email and a link to the IL rules. I know a few people who took that route. I believe it went into effect in 2010.

Great post and congrats!! I just found out I passed too (also AE + Illinois)!!! When I return from vaca I will definitely have to post my rundown and my final list of books. Looks like we wish we had included some of the same books! LOL
Great question, interested to hear the answer.
Also, an engineer I work with says IL stopped giving scores for passing exams years ago, even though other states still do it. I was wondering if that's true....
