A little delayed in posting this, but VA was out last Thursday and passed Vertical- Buildings (2nd attempt)! Passed Lateral - Buildings back in October so I'm golden now! Thanks for all of the moral support on this forum. Congratulations to those that passed and keep at it for those not...

I just got this from NCEES chat rep "NCEES have released the scores boards but it depends on the Board on how the results are released." It took some smooth talking to get that out of them though.

And so it begins... Congrats, NH_Structural, for getting this behind you!

They're pretty good at not providing information. I received "results should be released within 10-12 weeks of examination" via chat this morning.

I think you're living a year in the past, bud.

Thanks for the additional info. I hope the results are released even quicker with less people taking the exam than the amount that take the PE.

I may be mistaking... I'm just going off of memory and just remembered people posting results prior to the official email. For some reason I remember waiting a week from when NCEES started releasing results.

Back in October I believe the results started coming out Thursday evening and Friday, then NCEES officially released a notice that all results were released to states on the following Monday. PCS states started receiving theirs throughout that week, specifically VA was on that Friday following...

1st try on lateral, 2nd for vertical. Ready to be done, as I'm sure you all are as well.

Something really awkward from when I took both exams last October. The first day was full of PE's and me, the lone SE taker (the Vertical exam, I didn't pass that one). Then, the second day I was the only examinee in the room. No FE's, PE's... just me and 3 proctors. They circled around my desk...

Well, to clarify, there were about 40 to 50 PE takers (Civil, MEP, etc...), but I was the only SE. Our test is in the community college in Central VA and the desks are pretty large, like the size of lab tables. I couldn't image sitting in a small elementary school size desk!

I was the only SE test taker in central and SW Virginia for both days in October 2013 and the Friday of April 2014.

Thanks! Probably masonry design at the time of taking it the first time. Wood is a distant second to that, however, what we were tested on was a specific weakness within wood design. There were a couple of tricky questions in the afternoon that tripped me up, which I knew after taking it and...

Also, I'm a buildings guy, not bridges. I can't speak for the differences in Bridge exams.

Vertical, due to the depth of material while studying. I passed Lateral first try, but am waiting on results for Vertical, second attempt. I think I found lateral easier because all of the material is contained within fewer code/references. However, I took both exams at the same time October...

PCS states are probably looking at a 3-3.5 week wait.

Looks like I'm all registered for the Vertical exam in April. My diagnostic on the Vertical was 30/40 multiple choice and then 2/4 acceptable in the afternoon. The crazy afternoon prob's did me in. Hopefully better luck in April!

VA results are out on PCS... I passed the Lateral, failed the Vertical (Buildings). I credit that to the crazy afternoon vertical problems. We'll see when NCEES puts out the results.

Nateluke: Did you see your results on PCS or NCEES website?
