Well, it's letting me register for other disciplines such as environmental or electrical. So that's probably a bad sign. 

 
Not necessarily, I have passed PE Civil Structural last year and I can still register Environmental or Electrical.

I'm applying lipstick and updating my PEOPLE TO KILL list. Anything from this point on is on NCEES.

(the above comment is in reference to Steve Buschemi in Billy Madison, is not intended to be taken seriously, I am not applying make-up)

 
Before results come out, I just want to remind everyone that the P.E. Exam does NOT define who you are as an engineer.

If you don't pass, you are effectively no better NOR no worse than the engineer you were yesterday, the day before you got your unfortunate results. Take a break for the holidays, and then plan out your plan of attack to kill the heck out of this exam and hit it hard in the new year. It's not easy, and it's not meant to be easy. But it's not impossible! Even if you're a multi-time taker (trust me, more people around here are multi-time P.E. exam takers than you might think), never say never. If you want advice, EB is a great resource!

If you passed, congrats for never having to deal with this beast of an exam again (unless you're crazy like @squaretaper LIT AF PE is and are focused on getting licensed in more than one discipline). A reminder for you, too: you're not necessarily a better engineer on the day you passed than you were the day before, either. You will get the benefits of being a licensed P.E., and they are well deserved! Don't forget EB! We're fun to hang around outside of exam wait periods too!

 
This is the hardest time, folks. Please don't harass the NCEES folks, they don't have any answers.

Take a deep breath. Go for a run. Take a bubble bath. Play some Animal Crossing. Knit some socks. Find yourself an activity that relaxes you and takes your mind off the impending results. Trust me, stressing about it only makes it worse.
