Just to give the newbies some background:
The thing that always delays the release of the results is when a new exam is administered in a given test period. The exam writers then have to a have a meeting to discuss the exam results and adjudicate any problematic exam questions. There are a lot of PPE exams so there is always a new exam being given in a given period. By definition, these exam review meetings occur after the initial scoring has taken place. The meetings for the more specialized disciplines (Nuke, Ag, Petro, Naval, etc) usually aren't actually produced by NCESS and tend have their meeting scheduled even later in the cycle. This is probably to accommodate the schedules of the disparate members who just learned that they suddenly have to fly in from all over the country to go over the results. The larger tests, which are produced by NCEES, proactively schedule their meeting well ahead of time and typically don't delay everyone else. The results are released 2-3 business days after that meeting(s) ends.
This happens every exam cycle. Don't complain, just get over it! The Nuclear exam meeting caused the delay in Oct 2013, Petroleum in Oct 2014, and I can't remember who delayed it in the years that followed. You can search my previous posts if you are that curious, because I've always made this same sort of post pointing out where the delay is.
This cycle the Fire Protection exam is new (source). That exam group did not schedule a meeting in October or November. I know this because it's not listed in the NCEES newsletter for Oct 2017. See page 11. We'll learn when that meeting is scheduled in the December 2017 newsletter, which itself could get posted as early as Friday Dec 1 on their website here. So check back in a few days to see when they are having their meeting, then add a few business days to predict the release date.
