[A V]

My bet is for Tuesday December 15th. I feel like around 7:55 am Eastern time will have the notification email... damn even thinking about it is stressful

This thread might be exploding around 7:55 et that morning. But NCEES won't even open for another 5 minutes.

For historic reference (all times eastern):

Oct 19      1003 AM

Apr 19      1145 AM

Oct 18      1228 PM

Apr 18      0906 AM

Oct 17      Before 130 PM

We didn't start formally tracking and recording the times for each state State until April 2018. We have loose times for Oct 17 based on the timestamps I included in my map posts.

From 2006ish to Apr  2017 we anecdotally noticed that the States would release anytime between 9AM and 11PM - with the initial release happening anytime during regular east coast business hours. In recent memory (2014+), all releases tend to be confined to east coast business hours. 

 

[LyceeFruit PE]

I wasn't part of the initial release in Oct 2019 but my results came in at 9:57am EST.

And for Oct 2018, I got my results at 1:15pm EST (I don't remember if I was inital release or not).

Point is, results are gonna come in at any point during business hours.

wake up

check email - no email from ncees

check myncees anyway - no result

get to work

check email - no email from ncees

check myncees anyway - no result

check EB.com to see if anyone else got their results - nope

rinse and repeat everyday regardless of my understanding of the January test constriction

Ok, then I will take my bet back! Lol... hopefully, we will have the result by the end of business hours on Tuesday. I think knowing the result are not coming out till after the 14th wasn't a bad thing at least for me. now as we are getting closer to the date, the anxiety level is killing me ...

I am still hoping we will know today and will keep checking. But if I don't hear by 5pmEST I will relax a little until Tuesday.

Since NCEES clearly stated that the result won’t be released until after ending the January exam registration, I really don’t expect to have them before Monday. So, in conclusion, start being relax from now and don’t wait till 5pm...

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

You will know by next Friday.

 

[NYBuzz12]

You will know by next Friday.

Forget next Friday, you can see if you failed right now. If you can register for the cbt pe it means you probably failed.

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

I need to remember that this whole process is intermingled with CBT. Gone are the 6-8 week P&P days. 

Well, Civil doesn't transition until 2022, so I only know that process.

please stop spreading false information.

Not gonna happen. Don't get your hopes up.

I'm fan of having an official NET date and its a net positive. I think it's helped to keep things calmer for everyone involved. Given the "delay", anxiety levels would certainly be much worse without some knowledge (see: Oct '19, Oct '14, Oct '12)

And personally, it helps me figure out a schedule. The build up to release day and especially release date itself is a lot of work for me on these forums.

You will know by next Friday.

Probably... unless you're in Pennsylvania or Georgia.

The register for the next exam thing isn't legit. Can we please let this one die. I wrote about it in the first post:

Futile Exercise B (trying to figure out how to get results before they come out) You’ll start trying to figure out ways to learn of your results before they come out. This will include searching your state’s PE license lookup or another state website, spam calling and emailing NCEES or the state board, etc.

First: Please be nice to your state board workers! You are taking this test to become a professional, so act like a professional.

NCESS won’t tell you anything beyond “8-10 weeks” until after they released the results. The state boards won’t tell you much more and NCESS usually doesn’t share anything firm with them anyway. The boards will often get surprised with the results too. No state starts updating their license lookup prior to the initial release of results. So don’t bother searching there until at least one state has released first! Some states (Mass, NJ, and a couple others) have other websites like  where you can divine a pass/fail, but it won’t happen until other states have already started releasing, and those states tend to release after everyone else too.

Oh, and don’t fall for the “try to register for the next exam” trick. It’s not a valid way to determine if you passed or failed. Now that you know about it, I have ZERO pity for you if you still fall for this it!

And BTW, getting mailers for PE study courses and/or PDH courses isn’t a sign that you failed or passed either. Nor is getting an invitation to join ASCE or NSPE. It simply means that you’re on someones’ mailing list.

They def use a cauldron, some herbs, lots of yelling, and alcohol.

...

Or they might be making spaghetti.

Tbh, thinking too hard about the scoring isn't truly worth it.  That's why I liked that a majority of the exam results are just pass or fail.  If I pass = Yay!  If I fail = I'm a miserable human being who doesn't deserve to live, why do I even better myself, it's not worth it, I obviously should never try to succeed again

I often wonder, how old is Justin Stine now?

Conservative estimates say he's 74. That was a 286 computer running CAD and the video was shot on BETAmax film.

Thank you for your contributions. It's appreciated.

 

[CMM056]

lol where'd you come up with the 16th?  I think we are all hoping for the 14th!

I thought they seemed to like Wednesday and Thursday release dates, so I picked those dates awhile back. That's all the logic that I got.

October 17 was a Monday release.

 

[CMM056]

True, but I figure they'll hold to a later release date - even though we've been waiting...
