July 2020 Exam Results

Looks like today is not the day

Has anyone tried to call the board? I press 0 to reach operator but no one answering, guess nobody home??

I think it is a little early to call, we are still within a perfectly normal time frame. I think we should wait for Monday before we pick up our pitchforks

Don’t bother calling. We’re essentially at the last day of the 2nd week when everything is graded electronically and we’re still waiting, what makes you think someone would actually answer the phone? Haha

That's the spirit!

 

[IAMNOTAPEYET]

That's the spirit!

It's 2020, not 2002. A program to automatically grade and send out the score should be easy to setup.  Maybe just use Excel the IF function?

That's a great idea. PE boards love getting the "when will the results be out" phone calls.

Yeah, that sounds like the quickest way to get the results delayed until the end of next week. I agree it seems ridiculous to imagine people sitting at computers sifting through individual scores to determine which questions should/should not be included and that it should all be computerized, but it is what it is. Knowing government agencies it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the actual system employed. Hopefully tomorrow morning.

agree to your first statement. But we cannot accept the "it is what it is".

Well unfortunately you don’t have a choice but to accept it in this case. We all don’t.

I don't claim to know what the board's process is for reviewing, but I assume that it is more complicated than what you might be assuming.  They cannot computerize reviewing written responses to the survey prompt at end asking about potential errors in the test questions (can they?). They likely review all the high fail questions and determine if a competent engineer should have answered it correctly. I want my results too, but it has only been 1.5 weeks. These tests are practically the last steps towards getting your Professional Engineering license - the board isn't going to rush it for our convenience

Every impatient EIT waiting for the results right now:

Will today be the day??

They have to analyze the results, determine throw out questions, and determine the cut score.

That's the right attitude!   

 

[PlanCheckEng]

Haven't been here for a couple of weeks. I should never have came! I was perfectly fine until I saw the group panic for results release.

Unfortunately, there is very little else to focus on or look forward to, at least panicking is an activity

It's so hard to focus on work this week as well... Will you guys open your results right away, or wait until the end of the work-day?

Wrong... Head over to the "games" subsection. Lots to do over there. http://engineerboards.com/forum/66-games/

Right away, that way I can pout at work instead of wasting my leisure time. Or if I pass I can celebrate with my coworkers.

I just don't understand why the board doesn't review/analyze the questions BEFORE they put them on the exam. That way, they don't have to do this post-test analysis that takes 2+ weeks.
