Nah, nothing to worry about.
I'm sure they did not fast track your exam results... well...unless they did.

Exactly my thoughts. Just hoping the curve is in our favor. Also, if the exam is going to be this hard, I think NCEES should elevate the difficulty level on their sample exam too.
Yea I got the survey as well. While they might have scanned the sheets already I doubt they've already scaled the exam and analyzed all the questions. At least that is what I'm telling myself as I rock in the corner of the room.

What did the board determine in the past?
Something like 95% fail rate if you receive the Survey?

Trying to calm down and take it as a joke... But anxiety is kicking in overdrive and Yay to the remaining 8-10 weeks!
Try to not stress. Looking at the Oct 2017 thread it seems like plenty of people who got the survey also passed the test. Even if it might have once been just people who failed got it there's no guarantee that's still the case. Plus I reiterate that I don't see them having determined grades the Tuesday after test day.

Just going to throw out there that it would be impossible for them to know the score by now. They score new exams with a board of engineers that determine the cut score after scoring each individual problem on difficulty. They also have to do a bunch of stuff like hand grading a random sample of tests to ensure Scantron grading accuracy etc.
A good read on how NCEES figures out cut scores: http://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2012_AM_Understanding_Exam_Dev.pdf

I'm pretty sure it wasn't until maybe 4 weeks out that I got the survey... and I passed. Not sure about those who get early surveys but from what I read that's not a good thing.

Meh. I got the survey today too. We ALL did. It’s Automated. I wouldn’t stress about it. But I could see it being a fun way to taunt the new guys every test cycle.
