I never paid to check Pearson's website or their hotline. I found out via WI's Dept of Licensing & Regulation website that I passed. Checked it several times on the day I found out. Had co-workers & friends check for me so that I knew it wasn't a dream. They all saw what I saw: "Active" in the spot for "License Status".
Well, after 2 days of waiting to get my license in the mail, I started getting worried that it was all a mistake. Why, you ask? Because all my friends who had taken their exam & passed received their license in the mail within 2 days of taking their exam. Day 3 after finding out I passed came & went, still with no license in the mailbox. Day 4 came & went, still with no license in the mailbox. Finally on Day 5, I received it in the mail. It was the best piece of mail I've received in a loooonnnnnngggggggg time.
