    November 2011 abo results anyone???

    Hello all ;) I am a newbie to this website and like everyone else, I am DYING to know if I passed the abo. One of my co-workers took the test the same time I did, but is too scared to look at her results online. Has anyones abo account updated to "active" yet?

    Mine updated to inactive, although I sent my renewal and CEs in a month ago. The CEs posted, the renewal didn't. Hmmm

    Really? I wonder what that could mean...When you took the test for the first time, did it take a while to post online?

    I too have taken the ABO this past November and have not seen any updates to my status yet... ugh... the wait is killing me. I'm trying to plan out what my next step is whether to study to retake the exam or to be able to test for the NCLE in May... UGH

    I think it means for me that they haven't updated the system yet. As for the rest of you, well, you'll know soon.

    I also took the tests in November and my status is still the same. I was doing a great job being patient, but the last week I am going crazy waiting.

    Angry waiting for results too

    I also took the test in November... my status says pending exam completion... does that mean I didnt pass? or simply that I dont have my results recorded yet? under the advanced column it says "no" im new to this...

    Pending exam completion could mean they haven't gotten the results themselves, or they haven't updated it yet, or it could mean your didn't pass. However, if you did pass, once they update it, it will say active.Kassandra, unless you sat for the advanced exam and passed it, it will say no under advanced.

    Still no results! I emailed ABO and they said the results would be 7-10 weeks. Which I'm pretty sure isn't the 6-8 we were told when we sat for it, but even so the anticipation is a killer.
