October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[LyceeFruit PE]

Thanks friendos!!

I’m in some sort of blissful denial about the expectation for results  for the time being.  It’s not real to me because we don’t have a thread under PE Exam Results.

My best guess is that Illinois will have results about 3 weeks from today at the earliest, based on previous years. In other news, I just re-calculated my gut-feeling expected score for about the 6th time.

I with you @MadamPirate. I tell myself I'm either dumb or ignorant or both.

Just curious, do you actually need it for your job? As in, to stamp? Or, just for advancement?

I won't need to stamp anything for probably another 8 or 10 years, but pretty much everyone at my company is expected to get the PE.  It comes with extra money (for you and for the company) and advancement. There's also an expectation that you'll stamp things, eventually, but not until you're one of the senior personnel in your group, which won't be for several years, in my case.

Don't hold you breath. Especially not for Illinois.

Well you are taking the test in a discipline outside your education and experience. That's gotta be rough.

Slightly OT, but do you find this wait period different, now that you have already passed and been licensed in a different discipline? Or is it still all awful?

Things are legal in both Maine and VT

Meh, it's about the same but with a verrrrry slight edge taken off. But I'm bookish and I like to study, so most of the pressure is self-induced (versus external pressure from employer, advancement, etc.).

Man, the wait sucks a lot!

Man, the wait sucks a lot!

I suppose we should be about halfway there by now!

I had a dream last night that I logged onto the NCEES website and saw something along the lines of "you have been selected to receive your early results..." I woke up before I could click on it to see if I passed or failed. Then I checked the website this morning to see if it was true

Mostly been calm and haven't thought too much about the upcoming results. But, every now and then, I think about it, and feel an intense jolt of impending doom. Like that feeling you get when you realize you're getting pulled over.
