Already losing hope

Published

Hi guys, I took the test on 3/18 in Cali and still no sign of my name on CABON website this morning...This is my second time taking the test and went all the way to 265 AGAIN and as each day passes seems like i'm losing my confidence...I know I have everything sent in so there can't be a delay...Just wanted to ask people who passed with 265 and took their boards in Cali how long it took them to get their name on the website or anyone who took their test on the 3/18 in Cali if they found out they passed yes...I know for sure that I missed the last two questions and that probably decided my test...I'm already losing hope

Oh my God..You are in like in the EXACT same boat as i am

i tested in Cal (fresno) on 3-17 (1 day before you)

this was ALSO my second time

I also missed my last 2 questions , and they were knowledge based, not higher priority,. soo thats bad

..I am also waking up EVERY morning at 0420, because the CA BRN updates Tues-Sat at 0430 (trust me, i know for a fact), last time i did tghis dance everyday for 3 weeks !!!

i had 215 questions my first time

this time i had 122

but the number of questions mean nothing,

I am STRESSED to the max yet again, so as you can see i am right there with you..last time i failed i was a mess..this time, although i am really bummed and felt i had did it this time, i am in a better place,

The ONLY good thing i am clinging onto is: these facts:

#1 CA BRN takes there sweet time and dont really care about expediting results..(trust me there, ive called them enough times)

they really dont see why (we) are all up in a fuss over this ??sheesh..i mean its JUST our lively hood we are talking about here (sarcasm)

so postings have been known to go for (in my opinion) up to 10 days to post online.

10 "business days" is about the MAX it takes to post online, if not..fail. sure there are stories of ppl waiting a month or so, but it ALWAYS has something to do with transcripts, SSN or whatever, for us though, repeat test takers...that does not apply to us.

#2 My classmate tested with me that day, and im looking up her name as well...i dont see it either..if she failed too, it wouldnt be there either and negate my hope, but i dont think she failed

#3 i felt "bettter" about this test than my first, that alone means nothing, but i did notice i had MANY MANY more priority questions and SATA which are worth more "points" if you will, wheter i got them wrong or right remains to be seen..

I will add you in my prayer list along with many others that im praying for in here as well..

It doesn't matter whether you got your last question rong or not. I had 76 q's, missed my last q, and passed. It especially does not decide your test w/265 q's. With that many q's they must manually count up how many you got right and wrong and the difficulty level b/c you straddled the line so the computer could never narrow down that grey area of whether you were clearly above passing or clearly below. Good luck, my thoughts are with you!!!!

yeah, like i said....10 days, NOT counting the day of the exam, and weekends...so today for me is day 4 ( i tested on monday, tofay is friday) so sat-day 5 (cause the CA BRN is ALWAYS a day behind)..

so by next friday..I failed, basically "officially"

im going to mail in my re-re test probably on weds of next week.

then begin to re-re study the monday after next..time to re-group, get over some of my depression and move along, GAWD..come to think of it..the next friday (my 10th) day...and my "official" fail date...I have to goto fresno and see the wiggles concert with my kid...aaarrgghh

if i wasnt depressed already ....

any word ?, i havnt seen anythning on my end today march 26 , its updated for march 25th, but i havnt seen anything on the site for me , or any of the 6 people i know that tested around our dates either...soo either we all failed, which i doubt ,..not all of us, OR the CA BRN is just lagging (as usual)

good luck,

JON
