April 2021 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[Tmanwatery PE]

I mean that could also mean Cali people just have to wait till Tuesday while the rest of us get the results this week and that's IF there's an actual correlation for that meeting and when they get their results.

CA board is meeting on Thursday May 27 and the agenda lists a closed session to discuss "Examination Procedures and Results". In 2020, they met on Thursday December 10 to discuss the same item in closed session and the results for the Oct 2020 exam were released the following Tuesday December 15. I have my money on Tuesday June 1st as the release date.

Those agenda items aren't related to the NCEES PE exam. California has several State specific exams that they administer themselves: Seismic, Engineering Surveying, Geotechnical Engineering, Traffic Engineer. I don't recall if they are offered monthly or bimonthly but that's probably what are being discussed in the closed sessions.

agreed but the timing of the last NCEES exam results and the meeting on the Thursday prior is curious

Sorry my bad...

No worries. This is just one those items that gets brought up every few pages... in every WttS thread. Lots of people join late and miss the posts.

There is no correlation.
If past is precedent CA will most likely authorize the release on day 1 or 2.

If past is precedent

But what if past is present?

I feel like we're giving RBHeadge some gray hairs with this.....

You guys are way too late to the party on that one.

Not really, the meeting is scheduled months ahead of time. Last year their May meeting had the same item but it was on May 7 and that meeting was scheduled long before the April exam was canceled. Even if that exam had happened the 7th would have been way early.

Since their in house exams happen at similar times to the PE they just have that on the May/Dec meetings

Actually, going through more of the agendas, they have that item on every agenda as an "as needed" item.

December 2019. The others aren't even close.

It was the longest administration to release since Oct 2014 or Oct 2012. There wasn't even a visible "light at the end of the tunnel" to look towards. Like I knew it was going to be a really long one early in 2019 because control systems PPE was going to need a cut score meeting, but I didn't know how late that meeting was going to get scheduled. The meeting date was never published in the licensure exchange and it eventually happened really f#$%ing late in the exam scoring calendar.

People were getting angry and a little violent. The thread was almost locked because of it. But shutting it down would've just meant that other threads would have sprung up in its place and it would be harder to control and calm down. Eventually @JayKay PE and others posts enough cute pet pics that things calmed down.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say oct 2019... if you read back, it got pretty toxic

 

[mobius160]

I can imagine people were going crazy given the longer than usual wait time. Were people constantly trolling results release posts during that exam session?
