Best group to join? Are you participating on in the Structural sub-forum on this site? That's probably the best place to find a good study/discussion group.
Looking for PE Civil Structure exam group, didn't find any group, thanks for sharing a link
That's not good news. I suspect with the increasing amount of COVID-19 cases, some states are now enforcing reduced capacity of many businesses so Pearson might not be able to fill up the testing centers.
Not necessarily on Dec 14th right? Just no earlier than Dec 14?Happy December guys! I think it was a good thing at least to know the result won't be released till December 14th. as we get closer, I get more anxious! Unfortunately, as COVID cases are increasing, it might impact NCEES's process as well. can't imagine how stressful will be my days after the 14th. probably will have my cellphone on my hand and nonstop refreshing my email account.
That's how I read it. NET than 3:00PM eastern on Dec 14.
I doubt that COVID issues will delay things even more. They appear to have adapted where they needed to.
Not going to sugar coat it: It will be bad. The worst will be the period between when the first state releases and whenever you get your results. Time stands still, and you're nigh-catatonic with stress and indecision. It looks like you're in Florida? They've been releasing on Day 2 for the last few cycles. They've got some internal thing they need to do first before they authorize NCEES to release the results. Again, not trying to stress you out more or give you false hope, but it'll be a hellacious 24+ hours.

Yeah, according to NCEES, the result of the October exam won't be released until end of the January exam registration which is December 14th. So, we should expect to have the result anytime after the 14th.
you are absolutely right. and yes, I'm in Florida. our engineering board recently changed the PE exam requirement, so we don't need to have 4 years of experience anymore to be qualify for the exam but still need to gain 4 years of experience for the license. The October exam was the first round after adopting the new rule, so God knows if that one will speed up the result or not. I'm expecting to have the result asa NCEES releases them but not sure.That's how I read it. NET than 3:00PM eastern on Dec 14.

As best I know the only in-person part of grading the PPE is processing and running the scantron sheets through a machine, and doing the manual QA audits. My guess is that that was done within a couple weeks of the exam.
I'm not aware of any required in-person meetings this session either - and if there were then they could be online now too (see above links)

strong first post.
Thanks for the reply!
I partially agree. I think you're right and the exams have mostly been graded at this point and they are sitting on them. Without any evidence other than knowing how some of our software works I believe the issue is they use their website as an initial screening for exams. As soon as a result is posted you either passed and you're locked from taking a future exam or you failed and the exam registration is unlocked. Reprogramming that is a big and costly undertaking and tough to justify as the pandemic situation is a one off and not routine.
