October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[Rocky244]

You want multiple licensing boards handling engineering exams and dishing out engineering licensing recommendations, which would presumably end up using their own standards and processes? That's a quick slippery slope to totally decimating the integrity of a P.E. license.

They're going to CBT which does it in days no problem.

They're cool with that because we should just be grateful they're coming at all. Oh and if you don't like it, just don't get cable!

Who has cable nowadays? Disney+ all the way.

honestly this has no EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF place here

But he didn’t.

Which is why they're transitioning everything over to CBT. I don't get your point.

 

[Orchid PE]

But he didn’t.

Riiiiiiiiight   Exactly.

That's the sad part of the world today. They work for the licensing board who works for US. The government is supposed to work FOR US. But that's been forgotten. If you want to practice engineering in the UNITED STATES, you have no choice but to go through these people. That's my entire point.

Well, they are there to make sure that people who don't deserve a trophy don't get it.    I know people who are retired and used to run the state boards and there is a reason for all of this and it is fair!   One of my professors used to help write the exams and would practice on us!   It is the circle of life.    If one board allows for one type of certification and another allows for another.. and an engineer is certified in a lesser and a bridge falls... yeah, no.     We are supposed to know engineering code and are supposed to pass these exams for a reason and that is for the safety of the public.

Yikes you are embarrassing yourself.

stop bashing on NCEES.  They are working with leading edge technology here .. the 'ol Scan-tron baby!!  Plus, they're employing this other new tech .. thinks its called a telegraph or something high n fancy like that ... so give these guys a break already ... heck, you'd think they'd have one of those new fangled horseless carriages or something!!

That like saying the cable man is coming between 9-5 and it's 3:00 and he hasnt shown up yet....

is he there by 5?

 

[Orchid PE]

We are someone's client here. And there is a monopoly on this "administration". That's the entire point of my argument?

The last few times I visited the spam thread it was a bit too spammy for me. I need a spam light thread.

I see some of us are in the angry phase.

The results come out when they come out. It is natural to be anxious (I am) but the release date is out of our control.

I also dont understand why people are asking the chatroom employees when results would come out. Why would they provide anything other than the canned response?

I agree, I think it is important to have a registration process. But I also don't think there's anything wrong making sure that the people that run that process are doing a good job.

Actually no, currently it is like they said they will be there from 9-5 on friday and it is 2 on Wednesday but hes not here.

The only reason I slightly think the 8-10 weeks/results not coming out already is unfair, is the fact that registration has opened for the April 2020 exam. I want to be able to get my results and start studying/register for the new exam so im not mindlessly studying. Unless I can register and get my money back if I find out i passed then ignore everything I just said about me getting mad.

I'm actually not angry just getting tired of old timers on here pretending like since they had to wait for years for their results that we shouldn't push for a better service from the people we pay taxes to. It's like OK Boomer all over the place in here. So I figured I'd defend those that are frustrated.

Are we implying NCEES is delayed in releasing or scores cause they are really secret agent men???  men in black?? hmm .. that actually might explain a lot.  My proctors for the exam did look a bit sketchy
