It's only been 2 days....42 days to go?

[knight1fox3]

Welcome to phase 1 of the post-exam emotional roller-coaster.

Phase 2 (second-guessing) will start to set in over the next few days. You will start to forget small (but important) pieces of the exam and forget how you answered the question, but will remember just enough so that you keep trying to re-calculate the answers in your head. You will slowly begin to convince yourself that you got it wrong.

Phase 3 (worry) will follow within a few weeks. At this point, you've convinced yourself that you've missed a few problems, but you *should* still be ok.

After worring for about a month (we're now within a couple weeks of results at this point), you'll jump into full blown doubt (Phase 4). You are now certain that you missed way too many questions to stand a chance at passing.

Many people begin to formulate ways to calculate the cut-score. This is a sub-Phase that can happen any time between Phase 2 and Phase 4.

Once you've lost hope of passing, you'll move into Phase 5 (anger) over the fact that it's taken way too damn long to grade a simple scantron and the guys at NCEES are morons for taking so long. I mean, really, 6-8 weeks to feed a scantron into a f*ing machine, COME ON!! Another source of anger stems from all of the "Not this **** again" and "Don't try to calc it because it's worthless" responses to all of your cut-score posts.

Finally, you'll hit Phase 6 (results). Each person reacts differently at this point whether they passed or not, how many times they've taken it, financial implications, expectations, etc. Regardless of how the results come out, at this point you will find that the CAB of your choice is very welcomed to either celebrate or cry into.

Also, please remember that all of the senior members have been through this all and consequently will endlessly torment and tease you. We do this simply because it was done to us (I remember going off on Capt Worley for one of his fake results threads back in 2008), and we hope that you all stick around to tease the next round of exam takers. There is nothing personal meant or implied with these teases, we're just trying to lighten the mood.

All we can do to manage these feelings is to fully participate in the eb.com post-exam thread (typically the 10k, but may be different this year). Good luck, and we all look forward to meeting many new interesting (and hopefully equally disturbed) engineers and hope you all stick around to see what a fun and entertaining group we can actually be.

One week down, eternity to go!

I think the results will be released on December 23rd, because it is a Friday!

Fridays mean nothing to NCEES, neither do business hours.

What if the whole map becomes pink?

which is a possibility afterClintons's victory.

The next board meeting for California is on December 8-9th...so i'm guessing results will be released for the California folks on the 15th.

Bad news, Bob just quit,, probably going to add a few weeks

 

[geomane]

Who's Bob?

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

Who's Bob?

The one who grades the tests.

Time to put out an ad to start looking for his replacement.

Yeah, they need to approve my comity license.

NCEES approached me for this position but I could not take the responsibility due to conflict of interest ?(Jk)

My cousin works at NCEES and said the House race of district 5 in SC is asking for a recount due to an anomaly reported at several counties. The supervisor of elections requested use of the NCEES grading machines which are located a couple hours away.

Due to the reporting requirements the elections will get priority ahead of the PE exams. Let's hope this can be solved quickly.
