April 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[LyceeFruit PE]

I feel like a small bunch of states will release Friday.

And then loads more on Monday/Tuesday with VT being Wednesday

Anyone else guessing their score in an attempt to calm themselves during this waiting period...

AM for the Construction exam gave me hopes of passing.

Whatever hopes I gained from the AM got smashed to nonexistent after the first minutes of PM section.

Third time taking the test. I am now praying for a pass. More power for all, especially the retakers.

Definitely went through the roller coaster emotions like 3 times.....

@RBHeadge PE If you had to put your money on one day what date would you choose?

I'm a PRA guy. I can give you a mean, 50%, 95%, 99%, stdev, CCDFs

I'm a nukee, in the great QM vs GR debate, I lean QM.

I don't do deterministic.

I'll be sure to take an extra grainy photo just for y'all.

Sweet!

BTW today is only day 33....

Whoops, I may have misled you with my 34 day post.

I don't do deterministic.

From the moment I started following posts from this forum I knew that about you from the beginning LOL. Your posts are generalistic but so respected. Just wish I knew what you were thinking. And trust me yes I do. I am careful for what I wish for.

Anyone else guessing their score in an attempt to calm themselves during this waiting period...

My guess is that maybe 20% of test takers do some variation on this approach. But no-one discusses doing it ahead of time, so everyone thinks they're unique in applying it.

I didn't do it the first attempt. I did a pretty elaborate version on the second attempt.

FWIW, you should be feeling comfortable-ish with a 58. That's about where I landed with my post-exam calc. Of course you only feel good until you factor in uncertainty in your analysis. See PRA comment above.

I did this basically (came up with a range from 52-60, so that wasn't SO comforting), but why are you assigning guessing a 10% EV? Should be 25% right? With 12 guesses you'd expect to get 3 right, not 1, which would push you right up to 60/80.

Wouldn't LERF be perfect for this?

Do you work in nuclear too?

Do you work in nuclear too?

Indeed, I do. Hoping for a LER from NCEES; not our RCS.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

but why are you assigning guessing a 10% EV? Should be 25% right?

25% is nominal. But 10% builds conservatism into the estimate. For this application, long term mental sanity, one would rather have a false negative than a false positive.

To study again is a pain.. 

To sit through the 8 hour exam again is a bigger pain

To go through the process of waiting for the exam results again......

I feel if we don't hear any PE result news in next 1 hour and then its not today.....

 

[ashmur90]

I wake up at 4:30 am, so yes, I am an early riser. lol

I feel if we don't hear any PE result news in next 1 hour and then its not today.....

Last October, a lot of the results were released in the afternoon, i got mine at around 1pm. After 3pm we can call it a day.

I'm also a third time test-taker (Water Resources/Environmental) and I hear you buddy! Hopefully, the repeat takers will be done and done! Also, lots of good luck to the first timers too We're all in this chasm of suck together....Let the mind games begin!
