    Maryland Exam Information

    Well, got notification a couple of days ago that my fitbit is being sent back, so they've finished the investigation on at least some of them. Hopefully I hear from the state board that I have clearance to re-register soon. Nothing from NCEES about what they might do, though.  I was informed...

    Maryland Exam Information

    I'd like to reiterate a few things: 1. The only time I would have been instructed to read the full candidate agreement was when I signed up for the test on December 7, 2015, more than 4 months before the exam date. I believe I did this as I made a good faith effort to read everything provided...

    Was it not actually because of the full keyboard?

    Maryland Exam Information

    I essentially did the same thing, though I actually went on the NCEES website and searched for the banned items list, reread the calculator policy, and figured out what personal items I could bring in and to put them in a plastic bag. And this is where mine (and probably many others')...

    This is truly bizarre. If you search December 3, 2015, a different copy shows up that includes them. I really hate that I didn't download the pdf to my files so I could say definitively what I received upon registration.

    Can you post a link to the site where you found those?

    Except, you know, electronic watches. Which is simply what many of us thought we were wearing. The only other feature of fitbits is they track your steps and activity, which I would hardly equate to some annoying gadget as I'm using it for the good of my health. I would have happily left my...

    December 3, 2015. Yeah, I'm not sure why you can't find it online. I think my original comment on this thread asked if there was an archive of these things but there doesn't appear to be. So unless someone downloaded the guide when they registered and it proves otherwise, we were technically...

    Maryland Exam Information

    Hey, I looked into this already too, but apparently there was a December 2015 copy and the January 2016 copy added only something minor about inclement weather. I don't think NCEES is so nefarious that they'd lie about this and then provide me a pdf copy of the December 2015 version, which does...

    In a way. On the other hand, the folks who made it seven have now essentially seen the entire exam and I have not. I think it's pretty equally crappy for all of us.

    It may get deleted but one comment on an NCEES facebook post claims he was one of 38 at a test site to get booted for a fitbit. Obviously can't verify but it seems like this was a huge issue this test cycle.

    Maryland Exam Information

    I just have no idea how long it's going to take NCEES to clear all this up. I've contacted the state board and they said NCEES has to complete their investigation and then they will notify California that I am able to re-test. The refile date is in July, so I'm hopeful that it will be resolved...

    Maryland Exam Information

    Yeah, and I'm definitely not taking it as well as you :)   but it helps knowing others are dealing with it too and I wasnt the only person totally unaware of the rule.  I find it frustrating that some sites made verbal mention of it and others didn't, even differing within the state of...

    Maryland Exam Information

    I'm in the same boat, but with the CA exam. Does anyone know if there's an archive of examinee guides? I see there's speculation the rule changed in October.  It's entirely possible I forgot the one mention of fitness trackers (on page 27 of 38, appendix content) since I read the document 5...
