Likely tomorrow. Never seen a release on a Thursday, though there is a first time for everything.Release the results already!!! I need to begin study for Oct exams!!! Though I know I failed at least one of them, I am just not feeling study and work now without seeing the red "FAIL".
Maybe for some of us. I hope I am not caught up in the turmoil of this awful exam ever again. Very sad it is to know that you have take another swing at this sucker.Hopefully the results come in by Friday. At this day and age, I am surprised that NCEES does not have a set target date for exam release. You plan for it and make it happen - publish a date. 8 to 10 weeks ..really? I probably checked my email / logged in to MyNCEES at least 30 times the last two weeks. I hope I am not alone in this.
On a side note, I have a love/hate relationship with this group forum. Love to hear from similar minded folks. Hate the number of times I find myself logging in to check what others have to say. But, all this comes to an end - On Friday?
I have the same feeling. And that is probably why I did not scroll down enough to check the Lateral exam results in my dream...Release the results already!!! I need to begin study for Oct exams!!! Though I know I failed at least one of them, I am just not feeling study and work now without seeing the red "FAIL".
If I don't pass, I don't think I'd retake until April 2020 so it's a non-issue for meFolks - If you are re-taker for the April 2019, what are your thoughts on this?
In general, the release of the exam result is too late. If the April 2019 exam results come out by mid to end of June, the re-takers are left with 3.5 to 4 months to prepare for the exam. Factor these with kids, vacations, conferences, buy new codes, tab again etc, and the window for study is too small for most folks. Of course there is an option to give up on the rest of your life and study for this exam. But, why does not have to be this way and for the older folks this is not an option (work/study/life balance). I hope NCEES does something to address this. I believe this is the primary reason why most retakers do not make it through. I am willing to bet that most retakers are older folks who have other responsibilities in life/work and cannot give up the other half of their life to retake the exam compared to younger folks.
Just some thoughts that I am venting out and hopefully some of you can relate to this .... I struggled to find time to study for the last one due to project and family committment. Of course, one could start preparing early at a slow pace but who does that when there is hope. Fingers crossed - I managed to complete all the afternoon problem on the last exam which gives me hope.
I pray for you Maya-206Folks - If you are re-taker for the April 2019, what are your thoughts on this?

My approach is 'strike while it is hot'. Good for you.If I don't pass, I don't think I'd retake until April 2020 so it's a non-issue for me
Good for you for starting early but I am so close or hoping to pass so I hesitate. Fishing vs. study for an exam that I have a good shot at passing. Go Figure... lolI truly believe NCEES prefers more people fails the exam so they have to pay the fees again. I realized by the time they would release the exam results, I wouldn't have enough time to cover what I read before. I started studying last month.
I've been studying, just cuz. I like to focus on things that tripped me up during the last exam so I don't have any holes in my knowledge base. I think that's the number one thing they count on...someone just not knowing how to solve a problem. I also have all of my EET class materials I can use again for October.Good for you for starting early but I am so close or hoping to pass so I hesitate.

As the Russians say "who benefits" when the pass rate is so low? So I think you hit the nail on the head. The other rather obvious tell is that NCEES provides no useful information on your failing score, and no way to improve on what was missed previously. This is a deliberate, Machiavellian decision that has obvious benefits from a business perspective. At least their new headquarters is nearing completion though. I like to feel like I played a part in financing that haha.Of course they prefer we all fail. They have a monopoly on the licensure exam and they make money when people register for the exam and buy their practice tests, etc. We should be thankful they don't charge $5,000 to take the exam.
edit - ok so maybe not all of us, they need a certain amount to pass (probably around the 30% range where they have it), else more people would call them out for foul play. They also have to sell their practice exams so if no one ever passed then they wouldnt be able to claim their practice exams were worth anything.
