is today the DAY?

I've been pretty confident the last three weekdays were the day....
So now I am to afraid to guess anymore

I am in the same boat as you.

*narrator's voice* and it was indeed not today

Maybe there’s some issue they are sorting out, like a testing irregularity. And maybe everyone will have to retest…. This is the worst-case scenarios my mind explores.

Nah, they just say come back in October.

They are probably preparing their financials......buying highly leveraged call options on booze companies. They foresee a spike in demand. Results will be out Friday.

How many actaully waiting for exam results think they passed vs think they failed?

I think i Aced the PM but failed the AM Vertical

Exactly, I don't know of any mistakes I made in the PM but pretty sure lost about 15 questions (took my chances) in the morning. If the 70% average is a thing I'll need over 80% in the PM? What do you think?

I *think* I did pretty well on the AM. I was able to get through 35 questions before running out of time which in my experience is pretty good (third time taking lateral). But I think I missed several parts on the PM Masonry question because I was running out of time and I think I messed up the whole checking the drift part. I also am pretty sure I totally did not answer 1 part on the first steel question. I have previously ran out of time on a question and just wrote "ran out of time" on the last 2 parts and still got acceptable on that question.

I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT TILL FRIDAY! Who can hack in this group? Can we call Benji Dunn from the Mission Impossible and have him hack for us? I like that dude. haha

The morning and afternoon BOTH have to be passed to pass, unlike the PE where the AM & PM are combined.

But if you do a little better on the AM you can do a little worse on the PM, but there are still minimums for both that have to be passed. This from a helpful NCEES employee email.

I'm pretty sure that if you get one "Not Acceptable" regardless of the AM you fail. Is one of the questions in Building PM 50%? (it is the case in the bridge). That 50% question in PM is a must have at least in bridge.

so it is kind of combined I guess.

There must be some minimums but they may somehow look at both AM and PM combined. I think if you are above average on one and below average on the other you might have a chance. I think one thing that is a must is no "Not Acceptable" in the afternoon, especially the 50% one.

Yes the thought is if you get a "Unacceptable" then it is an automatic fail, but we don't really know that for sure because we don't see the passing grades. For example if you got 38/40 in the morning maybe you could still get an Unacceptable on 1 question and pass. We just don't know.

There are 4 equal length PM questions for buildings.

From what I hear even a single unacceptable on one of the problems in PM is sufficient to fail.

I wonder if you ask NCEES chat about the results on Friday the response would be "The results will be released this week but I don't have a day" haha

 

[plasticworld]

always fun to explain the SE exam to people and have them not believe that they will make you wait 6-8 weeks for results. "but that's horrible"

Yes. It is. That's the point.
