October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[Orchid PE]

I just logged onto my NCEES account! I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but..........

Side note: when my dad took this exam back in 1996 (when it wasn't a scantron) it took 8-10 weeks to get their scores, and that included mailing time. The fact that it still takes 8-10 weeks is kind of absurd, if you ask me. But I know you didn't. So there's that. 

Yea it's clearly superfluous at this point. Anyone who says differently is just kissing ***. But it's the time they allow themselves and there are no alternatives so they can pretty much do what they want. Welcome to bureaucracy and government managed systems. When there is no competition the company performs like it!

It doesn't take 8-10 weeks, though. It regularly has taken about 5-6 over the last several exam cycles. And that's why we're all going crazy. If it truly was 8-10 weeks, and we were still waiting during week 11 or 12, we'd all have the same reactions.

Which is why I edited to put the latter "8-10 weeks" in quotation marks, because I know it does not (and should not) take that long. That would be crazy.

Wow! Really??? It doesn't take 8-10 weeks?

Agreed... THIS is the real Baconator

When are results getting released? What day of the week do they normally come out? What time of day are they normally released? Does anything change for a leap year? Are the PE exams results tied to the SE exam? I think they are. What is the moon phase when results are normally released? When does the Chinese calendar predict release of results? What is this "Controls cut score meeting?" Will results be released before this? Will results be released before today?

Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!

My cousin's friend's sister's former roommate said that someone at NCEES had a meeting today, so I think we'll have results at 11:08 ET, tomorrow.

Anyone else repeatedly work problems in your sleep over the past 6 weeks, or is that just me?    3rd time taking it, best afternoon test I've had!  But the morning.. oh the morning... I've already cried and am over it, just ready for the results!

The conversation I have with myself every time I stop pressing the refresh button

I took the Power exam and have had the following scenario play out multiple times since the exam and every time it gives me a mini heart attack. I check my email and I have a new email with subject "NFPA - Your NEC Source", advertising the references needed for the Power exam. That subject is close enough to NCEES and Scores though to trick my brain into thinking the results have been released. Gets me every time.

Scores will be released.

It will have been 10 weeks after the Exam.

I'm in the phase when I passed the exam last year, got my PE license, got my stamp, and not using it at all. What phase is that? I'm going to call it Phase 8.7

HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT THIS GUY! HE'S GOT HIS LICENSE

That sounds about right.

Yeah honestly the only thing I will ever end up stamping is the occasional Transportation Impact Analysis, but those two letters are so much more fancy than EIT. Also you can legally say you are an engineer, so that counts for something.

Good luck on both! I've been following this post for a while now, I also interviewed for new jobs around time taking PE.  Start my new job in January, very excite.  Passing PE would be getting the cake and being able to eat it too!

Congrats! Hopefully we both get double good news!

I sat next to someone taking the Controls exam, and he was done about an hour before anyone else for both the AM and PM sections. He could have been out of there so much earlier if he didn't have to wait for us. Now the Controls exam is taking revenge by making us wait for them.

Wait, are you me? I had the exact same thing happen.
