It looks like they changed your mailing date to Friday the 3rd, how is that possible?

I feel for you

You'll see the new mailing date of today at the end of the day. The same thing happened for the October 2006 exam. Believe it or not, we'll get our results by the end of this week.

This is so retarded! Go ahead and delay it for another week...no one cares. 33.18% for electrical...holy crap! I really hope I am one of the "chosen" 72.

After reading that, I said "F-that, I'm calling even though they say not to". So i called 1-866-780-5370 and randomly dialed numbers to get a human , what a bunch of bullsh*t. The person i spoke to spun me a line about how NCEES grades california's tests last, because we are the largest state. They said that we should complain to NCEES, to which i replied, "I didn't write a check to NCEES, I wrote the check to the state of California. And by my estimates, test takers have paid over 2.4 million to the state for this session alone. So the state should make NCEES speed up the process" I asked her, to whom should I complain at the board, she gave me this name

I think her email should be: [email protected] based on the other email address at the site.

I usually work under the principle that, if you don't let them know they are doing bad, they will continue to do bad. By no means do i think they letters should be rude, or threating; but i do think we should let them know we are displeased with the service they are providing to use. and that they need to get their sub-contractor (NCEES) undercontrol.

Edit: Now that I think about it, $ 2.4 Million seems a bit high. I was crunching the numbers as i was talking on the phone to the Board Crony.

If this is your first time taking it your chances of passing it are a lot better that 33.18%, assuming you studied. They are probably more like 65%.

The total pass rate is this low because people go in multiple times winging the exam. There are always about twice as many repeat takers as first time takers, and their percentages are a lot lower.

Even if you are a repeat taker, if you studied you have a better than 30% chance. A lot of people don't study at all.

Of course, anybody can fail - you only need to miss it by a point.

Good luck.

Even if what they told you is true about NCEES, they obviously have the graded tests, because they voted on them at the meeting. They must have gottne them before the meeting, and they could have done some prep for mailing after the vote. They could have hired more people for this particualr time, or worked over the weekend. THey are so far behind everyone else it is ridiculous. If they wanted to speed it up, they could.

That said, peoiple have been complaining for years, and they don't show any signs of changing. But good luck.

If you think you may have failed, hope they don't screw up your address! Because the refile date is Aug 24, and you aren't supossed to call to ask them to resend results until Aug 13th..

And yes, they screwed up my address for the oct exam. Funny, because all the paperwork BEFORE the exam made it to me just fine. I actually had to call and refile before I received my results.

Turns out I passed, but I would've probably been doomed on a re-take because I was procrastinating on studying until I got the letter. Seems like a silly thing to complain about, but I also started re-taking the "the other board" class and "wasted" three saturdays thinking I had failed...

You would think so... But the lady i talked to said she hand f-ing stuffing the letters. I sh*t you not, hand f-ing stuffing thousands of letters. What are we in the stone age. At the little water agency i work for, we own a letter stuffer that does 3000 per hour. I declare shenanigans on the board.

We gave them over $2.4 million in fees and they hand stuff envelopes.

Edit: Now that I think about it, $ 2.4 Million seems a bit high. I was crunching the numbers as i was talking on the phone to the Board Crony.

HAND F-ING STUFFING... I LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT... DW YOU WOKE UP THE PERV IN ME!

It was my first time taking it. I felt the morning section went really well; it's the afternoon section that kicked my ass. I studied everyday for 2 and a half months prior to the exam...hopefully it pays off.

 

[eng.dork]

did she mention when they would update the database?

 

[Monroe]

You'll see the new mailing date of today at the end of the day. The same thing happened for the October 2006 exam. Believe it or not, we'll get our results by the end of this week.

This is now of the front page of their site.

Yes, I am hoping that means "no later than Friday". Hopefully they decided to send a batch out yesterday.

 

[LXZ]

What happened last year was that the mailing date was changed back to Monday's date after a day or two. But I don't remember exactly. Let's check back at 10:00 am today and see if there is any change. Also, I am wondering anyone in Sacremento area got his letter.
