    Results

    i was told 7 to 8 weeks for the results. i'm assuming it's the same for every state since it was on the same date. that would be, um, around mid january i guess. maybe for your review you could present yourself as a valued employee that is trying to better yourself by going for the ABO. good luck!

    You're sharp. . . .

    double them up!! I don't pass then I'm good where I'm at. I pass you double my raise. Heck, when our receptionist took the ABO we had a $500.00 bonus bet on the side and I helped her study. Girl got a 96% too!! I'm sure you"ve done fine. Play it right and you should be able to cash in. Have fun with it!!

    Good luck to you!!

    No results yet here either, and it's like waiting on the edge of my seat!!! I am not even gauranteed any sort of raise, but I sure am hoping! I think they said 8 wks, so thats 2 months from 11/18/06... I'm guessing mid January. If you dont here anything by 9 wks (give or take a week for slow mail?) then I would call down to ABO and check, they may have made a mistake and not mailed or mailed it wrong. Someone told me that happened to them and they never rec'd their results! Just keep checking that mail... and Good luck!!

    :cheers:

    Just from my experience, It will take about 6 weeks. Now that being said the further west you are the longer it seems to take. end of next week or the beginning of the following, 8th? Maybe we should have some kind of pool.:p

    When I took it in '97, the results came in (for several of us in the area) over a 3 day spread....and I noticed they arrived in alphabetical order....maybe just coincidence...?
    I think it was just before or just after Christmas...hopefully your results will be in the mailbox this week.
    And I hope its a different secretary handling the re-cert paperwork....since I was slow to send mine in.... :hammer:definitely don't want to be considered tardy!

    Hope the wait is not too stressful!
    Congrats to all who passed!

    I called the board today. They started sending out results today! Guess when they say expect results in 7 weeks (sunday was 7 wks) they meant it. You would think in the 21st century and using computers they could get the results out sooner, or even join the internet and send out results via email.
    Hopefully within the next couple days we'll all have good news!!

    Nope...

    I'm still waiting too! Hmmm, wonder if they go out in alphabetical order by last name, as then I may be towards the end. I cant wait much longer, oh the anticipation!!!!

    maybe they go by state cause i'm at the end of the alphabet. i think i heard it went from the easternmost part of the country to the westernmost. (was that already in this thread?)

    If they drop the results all in the mail the same day, it would go from east to west because they are located in virginia so that is partly true.

    I got mine yesterday, too...

    And, yes, I'm on the East Coast. I also did very well. What a relief! Now, I've got to start studying for my NCLE...
