    Waiting for the mail to arrive before I go to work. Hopefully my results, good or bad, are in the mail today. Oh and btw, I think that the storm excuse is a poor excuse for the delay. The storm didn't take place until July 1st. The scores could have easily been graded and sent out long before July 1st. I was actually told when I took my exam that the results would be showing up online before we got them in the mail. For two weeks now it's been saying...

    Please check back soon.

    I know certain people won't agree, but I think this is ridiculous for this to take this long. This is 2012. I could understand it taking this long if it was 1982.

    Congrats
    When I got my results there was no information about any curve. Was it on yours, or did you call and ask?

    Passed! Feels great. For those of you who didn't, keep at it, and consider changing your study techniques.

    The abacus broke, and then when they finally tabulated all the results they rushed the figures to the stone mason who diligently scribed them onto the granite blocks that should be arriving first class donkey mail within 8 weeks to 10 years plus or minus a decade.

    Storm or no storm year after year it's the same issue.

    anyone who did well on the NCLE have any studying tips?? We are in talks with our boss about taking this certification as well ... any and all kind advice would be appreciated also, if anyone knows where to get some inexpensive study materials, i am but a poor optician/bartender and those pesky student loans just keep wanting to be paid, jerks.

    You will see some changes in the next cycle, I hope. I understand ABO/NCLE is going to a new testing organization, and it will be computerized, so results will probably be automatic and immediate. Lets hope it works well. You are correct, this has taken far too long. I am afraid the new test will be more costly, but it will alleviate this constant poor service from the previous testing agency.
