"Information about your exam will be sent to the Michigan State Board of Professional Engineers for their review. NCEES will update your result status once that review has been completed. That review may take a few days to a few weeks to complete."

Why would michigan need to review my score prior to NCEES publishing my score? Is it possible I'm right on the line for passing and Michigan gets to make a decision on it? Is there an audit in some states where they review a random sampling tests before publishing scores? I am not eligible for licensing yet I took the test early to get ahead. Any Ideas?
It’s possible that they are flagging it to make sure your test wasn’t compromised or that  that you didn’t cheat🤷🏽‍♀️. That’s the only logical reason I would see, seeing that Michigan was one of the first releases with pass/ fail tabs. That seem to be an odd response for it to have to go to the board. Ohhh also, I saw somewhere that even though Michigan changed its rules, on the NSPE website, there is still a requirement to work 4 years before your exam counts.  https://www.nspe.org/sites/default/files/resources/pdfs/admin/publications/NSPE-When-Can-I-Take-the-PE-Exam.pdf Check this out and see...  it sure how true it is.

From reading this.... https://www.michiganspe.org/licensure/ ... there appears to be a dangerous loop. I am wondering if your test being sent to LARA (and I am assuming you passed) is valid or voided seeing that you would not be able to complete your application within the year from the date of you meeting your exam requirements🤔🤔 Maybe taking the exam inadvertently started your application process.... woah... @RBHeadge PE any thoughts on this ☝🏽

I've never seen this happen before. Your hypothesis makes a lot of sense.

Every state "reviews" all the scores. What exactly that entails, I'm not sure. Why it takes some states longer than others, I'm not sure. Why the states need to "review" I'm not entirely sure, since NCEES determines the passing score, not the state.

 
I dont think this is about the score passing... especially in Michigan... I think it has something to do with meeting all requirements within a year of meeting the exam requirements.Michigan just changed over to this about a year or so ago, so this person may be the first to pass, yet not have 4 years experience and they may need to see how to handle it. Looking at nspe website, even after Michigan passed the deletion of getting approved to sit for the PE, It still days there should be 4 years before sitting for the exam.. unless its a typo... I am certainly interested to see how this plays out.. seeing as that I have a senior in college getting ready to graduate in civil and taking the FE... I dont want to advise her to take the PE if she have to take it again due to not having the experience beforehand or within a specific time frame...
