I have a strong feeling you’ll be disappointed.

Well. I said Tomorrow. Tomorrow Never Comes

Well played.

Tsunami is coming today. Give us the good news folks!!!

 

[roy167]

Folks, this must have been agonizing. The worst may be over, the grades are definitely coming out next week. I don't know why NCEES can't put a firm date when they are 2 weeks from publishing the results saving folks anxiety. At the beginning there  might be a lot of variables but after 5-6 weeks of exam, they have a clear picture and  should be able to put out a firm date towards the end. Once they give you a date, you mentally prepare yourself to wait till that time and you know there is nothing you can do.

@roy167 couldn't agree with you more. There is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't set a deadline and meet it. I would be okay with the release date being 10 weeks out on a firm date. They should re consider the impact this has on the test takers and set a release date. Hopefully next week will be the end of this wait.

Why so confident in next week??

 

[Dean Agnostic]

For an organization responsible for licensing, I am still completely baffled at how or why they would allow a question to appear twice, talking Power Afternoon session.  As controlled as the exams are, I find it very difficult to believe it slipped through their proofing process. 

 

[Dean Agnostic]

What makes sense to me about the double question is.....

 

[Dean Agnostic]

There are months of preparation for the exam, administered twice a year, therefore I have no way to believe it was a mistake especially from a licencing organization responsible for the health and safety of the public domain.

 

[Dean Agnostic]

….I spent more time than necessary flipping back and forth to check to find the difference between the two questions. It legit took me ~4 more minutes to answer the same question the second time as it did the first.  There's absolutely no chance that it was intentional, as there was only one question separating the two....

 

[Dean Agnostic]

It was in the PM. And the 2 problems were *almost* consecutive. 

 

[Dean Agnostic]

It was both in the PM section. Question 38 and question 40. I emailed NCEES. The response email was they will forward my comments to the committee of SME’s for review. Any changes resulting from this review will be applied to all affected examinees.

 

[Dean Agnostic]

.....but allowing duplicate questions is troublesome to say the least.....

 

[Dean Agnostic]

…...And I truly question/doubt that it was a mistake due to the way they weren't EXACTLY identical...

 

[Dean Agnostic]

That is weird, I re read it about 6 times to make sure it was a double

 

[Dean Agnostic]

Do you guys find the last problem is the exact same as the third to the last in the PM session?....

 

[Dean Agnostic]

The duplicate question in the afternoon was bizarre. I bet I checked the wording in that problem 5 times looking for differences....

 

[Dean Agnostic]

uh-oh, this has all the telltale signs that you failed. =/ you guys fell for baited answers 

 

[Dean Agnostic]

I cannot imagine how much NCEES giggles at the silliness that surrounds scoring, surveys, or which quarter the moon cycle is on.

 

[Dean Agnostic]

And they do watch this forum pretty closely, especially right after an administration, so I'm sure the giggling is profound.
