October 2020 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[SeanVA]

Passed in VA. Transpo Depth 3rd time taking it. Honestly if it wasnt for Samir and EET I would have had a way tougher time. I used EET binders for a lot of the test.

Feel free to make a thread for your state in the October 2020 Exam Results forum - that will help keep this thread on topic to waiting.

It's the hope that kills you.

Seems like the pace of states reporting in has trickled considerably down since the morning rush. Possibility that only one or two more states report before the end of the day?

Yeah, looking at the map I don't think we'll get too much else today. Maybe OK and AK.

In case anyone is curious, only 263 electoral votes worth of states have released so far. 

I expect a wave of states tomorrow morning.

If you took a prep course for the Civil: Water Resources and Environmental, and you passed - Can you give me your recommendation regarding on-demand courses? I was looking at School of PE or EET.

 @TwistedLeague recommends EET. 

I took Civil Engineering academy (was one of the cheapest courses) and to be honest it didn't have any help with depth other than a practice depth exam that came with it. My strategy for the depth was focus on the hydraulics and hydrology and take my lumps on environmental (my experience is site design, particularly in stormwater). It worked for me, but if you need focus on the depth portion, they don't cover it at all really, which I didn't expect when I purchased it.

So I had 24 correct in AM and 24 correct in the PM for WR Civil... What does that tell me  even my diagnostic report is confusing like the exam

Pure speculation, but I'm pretty sure OK won't get results today.

Without seeing it...I say you've got to improve your AM score.  From what I've seen, most people try to get 30+ in the AM which leaves you more wiggle room in the PM where the problems are arguably more difficult/intensive.  It should also show you which particular subjects you were weak on

Edit: Still in purgatory here....

Is there anything that we have to do to get our results. DORA is saying that I NCEES hasn't compiled a record for me. I submitted all of the expereinece/verification through the NCEES my portal, but that is the only thing I have done. I haven't done anything with DORA. Any info?

Correct, you can't do much with DORA until your record is "complete", i.e. you get your exam results. The reason one would call DORA, is to ask when they will approve of NCEES releasing our scores, not because one wants actual PE license right now now now.

Anyways, someone finally picked up the phone, but the guy seemed beyond overwhelmed. He did not seem to understand that NCEES is waiting on DORA to release results. Things are not looking good CO test takers. We'll be waiting for days.

Congratulations to all those who passed.

Seriously, awesome job on everyone who did.

I think I'm going to go lie down for a bit

 

[TwistedLeague]

OH MY FUEPAOSFHSDPFOJHSDPFOHSD WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Texas dropped 

2nd time around!

 

[NJHHEngineer P.E.]

FWIW - post was just made in the Results thread by FBPE saying 24-48 hours for release.

 

[leggo PE]

Failed lateral AGAIN with 30/40. A, A, IR, U. Is this score even close to passing? 

It's all anecdotal, but I think you want no more than 1 IR in the PM section. You look like you have a plenty good enough AM score (I think you want at least 27 in the AM), so I personally think you're close... Just need to get the IR to an A and the U to an IR, and keep the morning score high (easier said than done).

Don't give up!

Take a breath, and let's chat about these things in the Colorado thread:

civil construction:  pass

 

[DoctorWho-PE]

@vhab49_PE

Get the U up to IR or A, and at least 70% in the AM.  Afternoon looks far better than mine.

I have been stalking these boards for the past two days and dissappointed to still be waiting for OH results to drop, but I did just notice on the Ohio license lookup status change from "In Review - Exam Eligible" to "In Review - Fee Required". Good news? Still hope for OH today?

Another 1-2 day wait...

This is terrible!

First time - really appreciate you all here and it helped me get through this. To all of you who didn't pass, keep your chin up. You got this.
