October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[WaitingonResults]

The whining starts the wheels of change when one day people are tired of NCEES and want something better and do something about it. So ya I'd say whining is fine.

2023 it is going to CBT for all exams.  That process is underway.  But if you think they give a damn about your whimpering and moaning on here you are delusional.

I came on here just to say that other members here need to understand that “8 to 10 weeks” is not an acceptable delivery/deadline/submittal date to most people working in their respective fields. Furthermore, it’s wrong to flippantly state that those members are not acting “professionally” when they are actually working professionally and are used to being held to a high standard of communication & punctuality. In their field, in their day to day career and mine to be honest, the conversation should not go like this and certainly doesn’t go like this :

Client: So when are you going to get that thing done for us?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: Ok, good to know but looking back on records, you typically have gotten it done around 6 weeks or so. Any odd chance it’ll be closer to 6 weeks or 8 rather than 10?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: Ok….so how far along are you?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: Ok, can you give us any idea of what has been done to date and what needs done before you can deliver? Do you need to hold a meeting?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: Look, it’s the holidays and people need to plan projects for next year that are dependent on the results of your thing.

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: So you’re saying 10 weeks?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks.

Client: And if you don’t deliver in “8 to 10” weeks, nothing happens…..because?

Professional: 8 to 10 weeks (or more).

Client: Sigh……

Look, [SIZE=11pt]I’m just here, waiting for bad news like a lot of other people. Yes, it’s frustrating but it’s also frustrating that people are being very nearly insulted for even insinuating that a hard set date for results release that could coincide with registration opening with the next exam would make sense. That it would be better to set a firm date so that registrations for exams, prep courses, and the like could be based off that set date. Hell, even some transparency would be better. “X,Y,Z need to all happen before results are released and only X has happened with Y and Z planned for these dates”. A set date and communication are both more professional and more realistic behavior for a PE than “8 to 10 weeks or more”. To understand that it is what it is but to suggest something better is possible, should not be met with insults.[/SIZE]

Your opinion is not a welcome one here. I tried and got told to get off my moms boobs or something.

Like I agree with what the guy is saying, and thinking that you deserve results sooner because people before you got them sooner is dumb, but wtf does age and political affiliation have to do with anything?

agreed. i feel rocky is being a little spammy since it hasnt been 8 weeks but i dont feel we should attack personnal interests, age..etc. 

that goes both ways.

They will find some other way to be miserably shit at their job, I'm sure.

Except that you are talking to the receptionist for the client who has no insight into the project to get the answers via chat, who likely isn't authorized to give any other information without risking getting fired.  How about you wait 8-10 weeks and then whine.

I talked to a Baby Boomer who is almost retired. He also freaked out a bit while waiting for his test results. So you can go pound sand with all your "millennial cry baby" and "back in my day" tough guy talk. 

Lmao, being 25, back in my day is literally being a millennial as well . What ever happened to "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" now its literally the opposite

You are a jolly soul aren't you.

just swinging by on my lunch break to see the positivity my fellow engineers are radiating.. back to work i guess

 

[MDeebs PE]

I won't be ever again either after I get what I want, it's obvious the people that are frequent members on this board are only here to belittle those who express their opinions.

Honest question. What does being active in this thread do in regards to your exam results? If you're saying you won't be here after you get your results, then just leave now lol. Most people won't be here after the results. But coming on here and trying to light everything on fire won't get your results any sooner, and clearly its just aggravating you.

Almighty Leader Justin Stine has proclaimed a peace treaty between so called "Liberals" and so called "boomers" on this glorious day.

may his words shower us in almighty glory.

I came on here to see if there was any information I was missing. I am on here now defending mine and others positions from people who are choosing to belittle/tell them to stop complaining. Once I log off from that I won't be back. I'm not aggravated at all I'm eating an apple and typing with one hand while I stare at my screen waiting for an email to come through. I'm pretty sure I passed anyway.

[Whovian]

On the prep course website “risk free enrollment” it states if you are still waiting to hear, you can enroll. If you tell them you passed before the first live class date they will refund 100%
