PA RELEASED ON PCS WEBSITE!!!

[jcs372]

this is hilarious.  based on seeing this thread i tried to log on to pcs but forgot my password.  so i did a reset and got back to the login page about 5 minutes later.  by then it was too late.  for some reason the login page is not loading.  i feel  like they may be updating the accounts as we speak or doing other site maintenance.  insane! i am going to try on the hour until i fall asleep tonight!

Update - i just got logged on to my pcs account, and i am not seeing the exam results.  so i guess that means still more waiting!

This is the time I get too antsy... The anticipation is killing me Haha!

You and me both.  I realize I was one of the lucky ones in seeing the glitch, but I want to know my license number (and see it officially to be sure it was correct), and order my stamp!

Was just told that PCS should have authorization by days end.  The wait is almost over.

Is there anyone who saw the glitch, but it said they failed?

Just worried now that the glitch defaulted to "pass" for everyone, and they are updating those who "failed"

You're thinking too much into it.  Very few saw the results, and those that did were likely very proactive on this forum.  I would bet they are correct.  If not, they would potentially have a lawsuit on their hands.  Also, NJ also had the glitch and they did have some say fail.

Well that makes me feel better that NJ had some glitch "fail" (poor souls)...

Not to scare anyone though, but last year a coworker "passed" and even got a license number before PCS contacted him and said he failed.... now THAT sucks.

I read about that, but if memory serves correctly, they were actually notified that they failed, then got letters that they passed, then notified that they failed again.  Correct?

Didn't hear that, it was second hand though - too afraid to ask the poor guy himself...

If it eases your mind, I found the thread where it was talked about http://engineerboards.com/index.php?/topic/24563-pa-results/&page=5

Basically, PCS website showed fail, NCEES showed fail, but the PA state board issued license numbers and certificates saying they passed.

PA released results early again??? WTF, you couldn't make this crap up. Lets just hope what you saw was legit.

So does this mean that the results will be posted for viewing on PCS by the end of today, or just that the results will be released to PA by the end of the day and we have to wait longer?

 

[Clemson CE P.E.]

I can all but guarantee you that as soon as PCS receives the OK, they will be posted to NCEES.

Wow this actually happened in PA?? Incredibly nuts! Seems awfully problematic... what are the qualifications to get hired there? Sheesh.. I feel a little better living in CA...but not so much.

Tom Petty was right about one thing, the waiting really is the hardest part....   :mail-296:

 

[Clemson CE P.E.]

Well, its looking increasingly like the board was full of hot air.  Not looking like it'll be today.

 

[JJ_structural]

I'm not expecting that PA should be the first state to release scores, but if 42 other states can release scores in the first 3 business days, why is PA not capable of that?

We're not the largest state or the smallest state or the most or least stringent for licensure, I just don't get it.

I guess we're gonna be waiting some more...

lease:

When exactly is days end? Because it hasn't happened yet. And on the note of the glitch... Jealous haha

Yea... not surprised that the board didn't deliver. Maybe tomorrow.
