Fact or Fiction

[Dark Knight]

Every year there are tens of questions about how the PE results are going to be reported. If it is true that this process depends on each state board is also true that there are some general guidelines. In order to preserve the sanity of our friends( and soon to be PEs) on this Board I wanted to create this thread about the facts and the fiction of the reporting process.

1) The color of the envelope tells you if you pass or not. Yellow envelope is pass, white is fail: Fiction. The color of the envelope does not tell you a darn thing. I got my first failing letter in white and the second in yellow( EES - Puerto Rico). My passing letter came on a white envelope and a friend of mine got her passing letter on a yellow envelope. Myth busted.

2) The thickness matters. Thin = pass, thick = Fail: Fact. Well, 90% of the times. If you get a thin letter there is a 90% chance you passed. The failing letter usually comes with the paper work to reapply and it is thick. It is like that for EES and ELSES as far as I know. Myth confirmed.

3) Passing letter come first: FICTION. Absolutely not true and that is the bottom line. Myth busted.

There are more of this myths out there. I just cannot remember all of them. If you have one post in here. Remember that each state is different but what was mentioned above is just a guideline.

Good Luck...one more week to go. Will be over soon.

Not necessarily. When I got licensed in NH (granted it was by reciprocity not exam) I got a big packet of stuff with the letter saying I was approved.

I say we test this myth. All we need is Buster, a gutted Dodge pinto, low-grade vodka, and an civil war fire arm.

Bottom line is while there may be some general tendencies, it depends on the State and all experiences are relative. Hell, just open the envelope!

What about Buster?

Darn right. No one is going to remember those things anyways. That envelope has some dark magic capabilities. When you see it your heart stops but somehow you are still alive. I call that drak magic.

I got my results by e-mail... hardly the same suspense!

Every once and a while the MN board will send out pass/fail letters by last name. So to the 1 or 2 other MN people here, don't fret if you don't get your notice when other people do.

Was it a thick email or a thin email?

Alabama pass envelopes are thicker than fail envelopes...not that I know personally, but have seen the contents of the pass envelopes, and it had a whole lot more paperwork than my shitty ass thin one.
