So this has been pretty consistent... earliest we'll see the results is late Thursday or Friday but looking more likely to be next week. This puts an end to me checking constantly today!

If they release the scores 52 days after the October 30, 2015 exam, the 52nd day is on December 21.

If the scoring took place this past weekend I'm assuming results will be released to the states next Monday.  That's been consistent for the past three years: (2012) Mon Dec 17, (2013) Mon Dec 16, (2014) Mon Dec 15.

If they release the scores 52 days after the October 30, 2015 exam, the 52nd day is on December 21.  

It seems as though the important time frame would be scoring weekend-to-release, not absolute time from exam to release.  But I could certainly be wrong, I guess we'll see next week!

I work with a woman who's on the state eng. board and who has been a state delegate with the NCEES.  She said there was an issue with the PE results. Something with the computers that scan the bubble sheets and compare to the cut score. She said that's why the PE results weren't released with the PS results. They're going to hold off on the SE results to double check them. Some of the PS final results may be false passes.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long wait. This sucks.

Some of the PS final results may be false passes.

They... couldn't... revoke someone's "Pass," could they?

That would be worse than failing.

If that's legit, I'm definitely having them do a manual verification if I fail..

I don't know. I think that's why they're going to double check the PE and SE results.

Are you kidding?

my advice to everyone - in the future, count how many problems you were confident on when you get done with the exam. This will give you a good idea of where your grade should be. That's a piece of advice i read on a thread here when I was preparing for last April's exam. I counted around 48/80 that I knew that time around and guess what i got - 48/80.

Is this bs? We pay a couple hundred a person and there's presumably a software or hardware issue? Surely the computers are calibrated before they begin scoring...

Scantron scoring machines are notoriously buggy.  That's why you spot-check and conduct statistical analysis.

Compared to the cut score?  What does that mean?  The scanned results showed a larger than normal amount of fails or passes?

 

[MEPE_FEA]

Matt, I heard (from one of my friends who also is a member of your state board) that you passed before they found out @ the issue...now I don't know what's going to happen after they fix the issue...gud luck man 

 

[ALInternnowPE76]

if matt has an in with someone on the board he'd know 45/80 surely isn't the cut score....just sayin

That was a good punchline from Matt who went out for lunch after his post. This thread needs to be RIP.

 

[somemePE]

Do the boards even find out cut scores? I thought that was for NCEES eyes only.

It's not lunch time.
