Maybe CAPLS will grace us with some more insight today.
With consideration to the fact that the last CA specific exam was administered on Nov 7th, or 12 days after the NCEES exam, I think this delay seems a bit more reasonable. If CA releases their results this week (say Friday), that will only be 4 days later than CA's normal, or 9 days after the NCEEs release.
CA's goal of releasing all results 30 - 45 days after the exam would put the deadline as this upcoming Monday (the 24th).
And to be completely honest, I did appreciate the flexibility in separation the surveying and seismic exams, not only from each other, but from the NCEES exam.
If I had this option on the onset (delay results by five days to spread the exams apart), I would have taken it.
