You may be cutting it close, though.Seems more likely than not that you'll have them before vacation, but i make no guarantees.Dec 13th through the end of the year.

I know this, but it could be a bad year, too.Seems more likely than not that you'll have them before vacation, but i make no guarantees.
So what you're saying is ... nationally PEs are smarter than Texas PEs? ... because Texas has curved the score for their less smart engineers?No, this is why I put the "70%" in quotation marks. The raw cut score may be anywhere from about 51 to 58, roughly speaking, which gives you a range of roughly 64 to 73 percent. If the cut score established by NCEES is anywhere other than 56/80 = 70%, Texas will set that cut score equal to a scaled score of "70%". No one really knows what other black magic goes into the Texas scaled scores beyond that, but it's probably neither linear nor particularly straightforward.
So, anyone who has passed the PE Exam, by default, has a Texas scaled score of "70%" or higher.
You should consider a career in politics if this engineering thing doesn't work out.So what you're saying is ... nationally PEs are smarter than Texas PEs? Cool; I'm here for this.![]()
Dec 2. Take that to the bankScores usually start coming out first or second week after Thanksgiving. I would say Dec 9-10 is when we start hearing about results.
Ah, and so continues the mysterious cut score.No, this is why I put the "70%" in quotation marks.

You seem to believe that it will be really late this year in comparison to the last 8 years or so with the exception of Oct '14. It seems like it should be closer to Dec. 2 - Dec. 6 based on the previous releases. I know you have stated that they Controls exam needs a cut score meeting, but there have to have been other exams with cut score meeting in that time frame, I would think.Seems more likely than not that you'll have them before vacation, but i make no guarantees.
Yeah, October of '15 and October of '16 have similar release dates to what @RBHeadge PE is anticipating, though somewhat shorter durations, because the exam was administered at a later date in October, both times. The thing that really hoses us for this cycle is that the exam took place on October 25th, which made November 1st a Friday, which pushes the Thanksgiving holiday right up to the end of the month. The last time the exam was given on that date was in October of '13. However, that cycle didn't have any new specifications, so results came the first week of December, as usual, because there were no cut score meetings to schedule.You seem to believe that it will be really late this year in comparison to the last 8 years or so with the exception of Oct '14.

^^ You mean well @Will.I.Am.*Duplicate Post*
Not trying to be obnoxious. It just comes naturally.
Thanks for the info! Given that we should not (crossing fingers) see those other issues, maybe the release will be closer to 45 days putting it closer to December 11th instead of the 2nd - 6th.Yeah, October of '15 and October of '16 have similar release dates to what @RBHeadge PE is anticipating, though somewhat shorter durations, because the exam was administered at a later date in October, both times.

The last time circumstances were similar to this administration, with the exam taking place relatively early in October and Thanksgiving being pushed to the last week in November was... you guessed it... October of '14. Now, that release was a crapstorm for other reasons, but part of what made it late was the timing that's very similar to this year's administration.
That's about what I'm thinking.Thanks for the info! Given that we should not (crossing fingers) see those other issues, maybe the release will be closer to 45 days putting it closer to December 11th instead of the 2nd - 6th.
Can attest to thisGuys, just remember... The worst wait is when your state doesn't release on the first day. Hopefully that won't happen to any of you!
In addition to the calendar, October '14 was made even worse because that Petroleum Engineering had to have a cut score meeting that year. For whatever reason, the once/year exams have their cut score meetings later in the post-exam period than the twice/year exams. The Petroleum cut score meeting was Dec 8-9, one of the latest in the MC era, so things were really delayed for everyone.The last time circumstances were similar to this administration, with the exam taking place relatively early in October and Thanksgiving being pushed to the last week in November was... you guessed it...

^So much this^Guys, just remember... The worst wait is when your state doesn't release on the first day.
The two things aren't connected. There have been plenty of time when the results came out after the registration window opened.
