That is shimmery. I want SPARKLY and more hot pink. Think what Elle Woods would have. I mean, that’s what my friend wants.

@jean15paul_PE tooooh hey @RBHeadge PE after results are released this time, will you finally tell us all the little secrets that showed a release was coming?
@RBHeadge PE Thank you again for this thread, your valuable support & volunteering your time to answer all our non sense questions, you predicted December 1st & prepared us (Texans) to arm ourselves with patience as our results might be the next morning, you definitely prove your expertise in this matter.@jean15paul_PE too
There were several hints over the years. But not all of them were applicable in a given year. I'll try to write them all below:
1) There is a user "Baconator" who would drop in usually the day before and let us know that the results were coming soon. None of us known who they are in RL, but it's implied they have a NCEES connection of some kind. These hints were more common many year ago and were treated as the gold standard for a while.
2) The date would change on the dashboard a day or so before the release. It didn't happen this cycle but over the last 5(?) years its been a decent warning that things were happening in the next few days.
3) The NCEES Chief Officer of Exams who had the username "Tim @ NCEES" who log onto the website and start monitoring the WttS or similar threads. He would only do this on two occasions: the days after the exam and the day results dropped. Presumably this was to make sure no-one was discussing exam problems. When I would warn people that NCEES was watching the thread and to stop talking about exam problems, this is who I was referring. FWIW, he is retiring at the end of the month after a long distinguished career. He ran the exam services department since 2007 - which is essentially the entire P&P MC era. He hasn't logged on, or logged on visibly this cycle.
4) And finally, starting a couple years ago, the NCEES chat people who acknowledge the the results had been released to the states. This one is pretty obvious, albeit only a 10 minutes warning. The worst part is how this evolved. For years, the outward focused people (chat, phone operators, etc) were the last to know that a release occurred. NCEES wouldn't tell them for day(s) after the release! They'd still be saying "8-10 weeks" after 40+ states had dropped! They finally improved their comms plan, or at least properly implemented it, a couple years ago. Unfortunaly, this may have been in response to the rude and unprofessional messages so many examinees may have sent.
5) I seem to recall that there was at least one or two other things over the years, but they lacked permanency and they slipped from my memory.
I'm going to try to write a few more of these "inside-baseball" posts over the next few days. It might not be a bad idea to try to record things for posterity, as I'm sure I'll forget much of it in 10 years.
The next post will be on reliably predicting the release date and how I presented it in the threads.
Are there any other topics I should cover, or questions I could answer before I "hang it up"?

It's really great that you've never seen any discrimination @Be-n . I'm happy for you.3. Based on my experience in US, I don’t think in this profession here there is place for discrimination. There is not enough good professional to be picky about. At least not where I live in US. I’ve worked with people of all sorts of types. Never seen anyone in 10 years judged based on anything but professional qualities.
4. Based on #1 and #3, my conclusion is “work hard, proof you’re worth it, be a fine professional and I am 100% sure you will succeed regardless if you are minority or not.”
By the way. Why what you said is offensive. Throughout this conversation you've consistently held your experiences as fact, while minimizing the experience of anyone who disagrees with you.where did I offend anyone?
I don’t see how anything listed above can offend anyone. Again, I apologize if it does.
This post eased my pain while waiting , showed how fair is NCEES scoring process. There are so many misinformation and confusion about this matter, so this post made the most sense to me.Not sure what I did to deserve this shout out, but thanks
TransportationCOngratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which depht?
