PCS States

Hopeful_PE · May 20, 2014

The best part is that I'm sure these states are paying more for the exam for the PCS "Services".

Mine has shown "scores received" since before I took the test. The box isn't checked though...so it means we've got nothing.

mine has said that all along, but it isn't checked and hasn't been checked.

Mine is unchecked as well, I guess I just hadn't noticed that the status changed from "Eligibility Sent to NCEES"

I wonder why PCS wants to get name of releasing late results instead of releasing the results sooner. and saving us.

Hopeful_PE · May 20, 2014

Because they are satisfied with the amount of business they are bringing in, and see no need to show the remaining states that they offer any value. At all. That's my best guess.

My understanding is that they're are being paid to validate and approve the results. They are more focused on doing it correctly, and aren't worried about making us wait an extra 5-10 days, and I guess I can't blame them.

Hog wash. 14 other jurisdictions just informed thousands of candidates of their results in the last 4 hours and I doubt any of them had to be validated and approved any more than the 39 days that NCEES already poured into it.

How the heck would PCS validate the results? Sounds ridiculous. I think we should all start calling them like folks did for NCEES! You first... ;-)

what is the meaning of PCS states ?

Did anyone tried to call PCS to see if they have received scores from NCEES?

from experience, don't bother. Just wait another 3 days. Possibly until Tuesday. Since Monday is a holiday, they will spend Friday thinking about their vacation/long weekend.

Thank You I wish it is sooner.

For anyone in PA or MD - the last two exams (April 2013, October 2013) released on Day 15 and Day 14, respectively. I think its a little too early to neurotically refresh the page waiting for a result. Back to productivity for a couple of weeks - will check back in June...

emo4488 · May 21, 2014

I sent PCS asking then when they would be releasing the results. I couldn't just sit here hitting F5 all day again. Who wants to bet they say 8-10 weeks?!!!

Does MD notify by letter or do we get the email from Ncees? I am not really sure. I contacted MD board yesterday and this is what they said "The Board is in the process of reconciling our information once complete you will receive your passing letters" When I tried to clarify if we are informed via letter by MD or email by Ncees I didn't hear back.

You'll receive an email... i can't remember if it came from NCEES or PCS... but last april exam i definitely got an email that told me to check my NCEES account for results. I failed and just re-took so anxiously awaiting that same email, but hoping for better result.
