[mobius160]

So what's the O/U on the NCEES chat being shut down by Tuesday?

 

[leggo PE]

Kids, it seems like spamming would do you all some good. Come join in on the fun and release some stress by spamming your brain out! Word on the street is, the more you spam, the more likely you are to pass!

FYI, I'm going to be fully focused on a meeting from 1245-1500ish. There is a small chance that I can pop-in, but generally speaking I'll be radio silent. If anything happens, I won't be able to do anything until my meeting is done.

Is this a meeting that could have been an email?

now I'm wondering if following this thread has been good for me. I fully expected today to be the day at the LATEST. ARGH.

Well, this is one thing I look forward to each exam cycle:

That person from Texas who:
-lurks and doesn't participate in any of the threads
-when results are released, goes through the trouble of making an account so they can make one post
-The post will say something like, "Wow, got a 98 in Mechanical #blessed" or whatever
-Disappears off the face of the earth

A classic example of setting one’s expectations of NCEES too high. It is a common symptom (side effect?) of having taken the P.E. Exam, and there is only one known remedy: the cold, hard truth of no results.

It’s so true, though! #blessed hahahaha that made me laugh!

ya, I feel like I bought into the day so much with everyone else's talk and seeing the historic release dates that it just made for a massive letdown on today and I feel defeated in a sense.

Let me tell a little story... It might make someone feel better (but it probably won’t).

CA has not always been a day 1 or 2 release state. That only started happening when they decoupled the PE exam from the application for licensure, which happened a few years ago. They used to tie the P.E. exam results with the state seismic and surveying exam results, so when you passed, you would automatically become a P.E. as soon as your license number showed up, since you had already applied and been approved by the state board.

As is likely no surprise to anyone, this added on several days to the release of results for CA exam takers, after day 1 of releases by the first states to release. It was pure torture.

In one of the times I took the exam (either April 2016 or October 2016), the results came something like 8 days after day 1, and yes, Memorial Day was in between. It was rough! Especially because I ended up waiting to find out I failed.

But, guess what! I survived! I mean, hey, look at me. I’m still here! Poking around EB and anxiously awaiting my S.E. results. So yeah, moral of the story is, well, there are a few!

One is, if you are not in a day 1 release state, prepare yourself for even more intense hysteria.

Another is, it’s not the end of the world if you fail. It is within your power to conquer this beast of an exam!

A third is, results truly have come out after Memorial Day before, especially if you’re not in a day 1 or 2 release state!
