    Nothing. In fact the whole ABO site was down earlier this week.

    Too bad they didn't have a toll free number you could call. Type in your state code and last 4 digits of your SS number. Either "you passed" or "better luck next time"

    I honestly don't see how it can take this long, UNLESS they get all the test forms, *put them away*, then start working on them a week or two before they get sent out. Test scores for pharm, med, etc schools come out 2-3 weeks after you take them... and those tests are taken by MANY more people and have much more complicated grading systems.

    The timing for the ABO-NCLE couldn't have been worse. They are located in Northern Virginia where the power has been out for a large segment of the area since severe storms last Friday night. A little more patience can't hurt.

    Apparently a change from "pending" to "active" indicates passing the exam!
    I can't even log in anymore does that mean i failed?

    Last night I dreamed that they had lost my test, and that I was welcome to retake at no additional charge. My daughter got her AP scores yesterday, hope we all have a nice Friday the 13th.

    No results in my mail today (Monday the 16th) and the site is still "undergoing maintenance". I can only assume they're still trying to figure out how I could have possibly received such an abyssmal score. LOL!

    Good grief, you're all starting to sound like the patients you complain about.

    I worked up there all of last week. The cleanup continues and some services are just coming back. The ABO-NCLE offices are in Northern VA.

    Judy, I think they are just sitting by their mailboxes, and not watching/listening to the news. It was terrible up there. I spoke to one of the staff members on Friday. Be patient, ladies and gentlemen.

    My parents' phone and electricity were both out for over a week. They bought a generator because it was taking so long to repair the damage.

    There are circumstances that beyond our control. I really believe that there's a valid reason why the results are delayed or not mailed out yet.
    It's a learning experience, I learned to "WAIT", waiting is good it helps me to develop PATIENCE. Guys, I feel sorry for the delay. You know, if ever they will send the results
    I'll be one of those who will receive late for Guam/ Saipan is just a distant away from the Mainland. God bless us all.

    Nothing in the mail yesterday, and the certification link on their site is still down... If only the ABO-NCLE could update their website in a way where they could post information as to why things are taking so long or when to expect the results....WAIT!!! they can!!.....but... they're not...hmmmm. I bet they could avoid A LOT of phone calls that way.
