Analyze this: I had a dream last night that I got results. It was a pdf and my results were handwritten in pencil. My score was 120, and it said 'you passed, barely'. Really? Barely passed with 120? I obviously saw the extra credit problems at the back of the test booklet.
I had a dream that I passed, but only with an 80. It's no 120, but I'll take it.

 
I was the assistant to a driller on a rig taking soil/dirt samples a number of summers ago as part of an internship. After about 10 or 11 hours of work in the hot sun, I would ask, "how many more holes do we have to drill"? The response was always about 3 more than the truth. He did this so that I would leave him alone, and finish hard as well I suppose, but foremost he was disarming me. As many here also believe, I think the NCEES is giving the canned response of one to two weeks to avoid any further conversation or conflict. They know they are coming much sooner. They just don't want to give out an answer that goes against what they told all of us two months ago, and they don't want to fan the fire that is eager test takers awaiting results. So, here's what is going to happen.
The results will start coming fast and hard tomorrow AM. Let us not forget that Illinois has already received the results (their testing agency anyway). They can't be the only one, and they can't be a full week ahead of at least a handful of other States. It might be via their web site being updated, notification from them, email notification from your State, updated State web sites, or a combination of a bunch of these.

Yes Ray, they will come, and they are coming tomorrow.

On a side note. If you think it is difficult waiting for results for one exam, try doing it for two exams three years apart. There's nothing worse than being licensed in a dozen states and then having to sit for another exam because a State in your region has a different designation for Structural Engineers. I should have been a plumber.
I guess I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Next week for most of you will mean two weeks for me. Oh well.
