What’s considered “one of the last days” to post? Trying to see if theres any hope for NJ releasing today
 
Yes, I'll be waiting for the CBT. I've heard digging through codes is much easier during the computer based exams, plus we wouldn't have to wait 6 weeks for results to be released anymore.

More importantly, I need a break. This back-to-back Oct 2020/April 2021 was stressful, especially with a full time job and in a relationship. I'm sure with more preparation, things will finally go our way next time
just don't wait 20 yrs like I did..... yes studying again sucks but not have as much as trying to pick some of this stuff up again DECADES later..... good luck 5 to 9
 
April 2021, Florida: Fail
I am soooo sad, I am trying not to feel devastated. I had such a rough start this year, nothing went according to plan and I wanted a miracle, but frankly the result wasn't exactly a surprise.

Congratulations to all those who conquered the test this year!

What will be better, trying to sit in October or taking first Computer Based Civil next year????
Sorry to hear that, you will get it next time. I am first timer, didn't pass. I feel it is easier to deal with and build on what I already gained with the current format than waiting and trying to figure out a new one. If it works great, if not I will sit out the first CBT!

There's a chance it shows up on the NJ checklist today if you passed. It looks historically NJ has been a 3-5 day delay, but we will see.
 
Morning everyone, first I want to say congrats to all who passed its a great achievement and you should be proud. Next to those who didn't keep your head up, just because you didn't do it this time doesn't mean you're not a good engineer.

Next, I wanted to take the time to ask everyone a favor if you could. Please take the time to fill out your respective survey so I can gather some number on trends for people who passed and people who failed and if there's any sort of correlations.

Passing survey link:
April 2021 Civil PE Passing Info

Fail survey link:
April 2021 Civil PE Failed Info

I will post the live link to the results next week at some point when there's been a good amount of responses. The survey will officially end at the end of June so if you don't have the time to fill out your survey now you have more than enough time to do so later.

Thank you all again and best of luck to those who will be trying in October, you'll do great!

Theoretically the window stretches to infinity.... but practically speaking everyone has released within the first week since April 2017. The last time someone took longer than that was <check notes> New Jersey in Oct 2016.

I'd say that there is some hope in maybe using the checklist to see if you passed today.

You may want to consider starting a new thread in the Apr 2021 results subforum just to give it more attention

Do you have the link to this checklist? I can’t find it

Im feeling the same way after failing this one !!!
 
Alright I know most of you were waiting on Wyoming. My apologies to everyone for the disappointment.

Of course I was stuck in 40 hr HAZWOPER training that I really don't need and wasn't able to get in here till almost midnight.

Went and partied at Texas Road House by myself cause I'm out of town cause I FINALLY passed geotech!!!
I went in the bathroom to check NCEES at break this afternoon after getting the email and cried like a little baby and about dropped my phone in the toilet.

Failed 2019, took almost 2 years to get my confidence back. To you guys that didn't make it this time around, please take some time and take care of yourself, then regroup and keep going. You absolutely can and will pass this thing.
Congratss!!!!
 
Does anyone know if the CERM will be updated for 2021? It hasn't been updated since 2018 and prior to that 2015... seems it will be on the horizon. I need a new CERM but don't want to drop the $$ for a 2018 one and then have the 2021 version come out the next day

In December I got results on the Friday of release week. IIRC I think they started releasing Monday or Tuesday of that week. Try checking the DCA checklist. it MAY indicate a pass before the email is received. However, do not get discouraged if it is blank. It took them a few weeks to update mine even after I received the passing email from NCEES. There's no equation, rhyme or reason to it. Seems to just be random draw.

Plus...It's NJ, nothing happens quickly here don't hold your breath.
