Why does grading takes so long?

[roy167]

I'm sure they scan the answer sheet with bubbles by machine and not count the dots manually and then spot check few for accuracy etc. Not sure how many PE takes are there nationwide , I am guessing not more than 5000. Why does the grading take 6-8 weeks? It seems there is more subjective processing behind the scene that is not made public, otherwise this shouldn't take more than 2 weeks at the top. What do you think?

NCEES actually talks a little about this on their web site:

I have a theory on this......

Initially NCEES send survey as a second chance to all the people who has failed. Based on the survey performance they let few examinees pass. As soon as they receive all the survey feedback NCEES finalizes the passing rate and release it to the boards.
