New York sure does love them some Game of Thrones weather! All us sweet Summer children feel bad for your False Spring

Who votes for Tuesday??

That works for me!

So did we ever figure out why Oct '19 took so long to release? Maybe I missed it.

It could be that this year's release is a similar situation. I imagine this thread will break out into a revolt if results aren't released on Tuesday of next week...

Nothing like coming back from a long weekend to do absolutely nothing for another day. So, sure, why not

Maybe it's all the SE exams. They want to release them together again, because the State Boards liked it that way.

One of the Oct 19 exams (Control Systems) was new and needed a cut score meeting. The once-a-year-exams cut score meetings were always scheduled late in the cycle and it delays the release for everyone.

There aren't any "new" exams this session so there isn't a need for a cut score meeting.

It's not clear to me that the results are delayed, at least not yet. We're not even 36hours into the "normal" window for an April release. It would be "normal" for the results to come next week. I know the wait sucks, but this is no time to panic.

It wasn't just that we had record low temperatures, it was also the fact that most of the state didn't have power during those record lows! So no way to heat your home during the worst of it :0

But yeah, you get used to those triple digit heat days. Everyone complains, but I'm just like, "Sweet! Perfect weather to jump in a pool!"

Yeah my parents and in-laws got pretty lucky in terms of having power, but some friends of mine had to check into a hotel because they didn't have power or water. Madness.

Nope, FE, FS, PE, PS, and SE have always arrived at different times.

Do you know if there was a higher volume of one particular discipline or depth than anticipated? I could see that slowing things down a bit, though I agree the release is not "delayed" as it stands.

I don't have information on number of attendees or the discipline breakdown. Like everyone else: I only see that information when its published on the pass rate table or some other public report.

I'm skeptical that a higher than normal load in a given CE exam would cause a delay. Each CE exam routinely gets on the order of 1000+ takers. Nor would I expect a lower than normal load in a given CE exam to cause a delay either.

I'm hoping those F5 machine gun key pressing folks get results today and be like Anakin.

[Desertratwithcats]

It's past noon, let's be real.... NCEES folks have probably already taken off for the long weekend. Tuesday here we come....

I was REALLY hoping for this week. We have more folks coming back to the office next week and I'd have loved to find out my results with less people around!

I think the last January quick turn around, and last weeks date change leads to all the curiosity. But they must have released it today to keep the 3 days to celebrate or to cry it out, also must have avoided to set a new record to release in June. Just saying...

 

[leggo PE]

I’m too lazy to go and check, but weren’t the exams around a week later this year, in April, as opposed to some prior years? Aren’t we only on day 30-something since the Friday of the exams?

 

[leggo PE]

I think we’re totally within the normal frame of results not being released yet. Sorry to dump that on you all!

 

[Fisherman504]

but we can put rovers on Mars now and can't get results back until 8 weeks later............................
