I'm afraid to say, but in about a month.... I'm going to start logging in to USA jobs and checking my status tab... and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

Is this when Pixie is at dinner and we can run amuck? Yes, I was out last night. When I got in, I had faith in you guys and didn't even check the board. I see now you were considering being bad. Just be aware that pumpkin has come over to the good side. She monitors the board, has my phone number and will text or call me at the first sign of trouble. BTW: Amok vs. amuck Amok is the 21st-century standard spelling of the word meaning (1) in a frenzy to do violence, or (2) in an uncontrolled state. Amuck is an old alternative spelling of the Malaysian loanword, and it had a few decades of prevalence before the middle 20th century, but it has now fallen out of favor. A few usage authorities still recommend the latter spelling, but amok is preferred in edited writing of this century.

First, someonie has to fill in for Pumpkin, now that she has crossed over to the other side. Second, as Judge Roy Bean died in 1908, I am glad to learn that I used the appropriate form of "amuck."

In the words of Alan Jay Lerner:
"Oh you can walk the straight and narrow But with a little bit of luck you'll run amuck!"

One thing I want to stress to you folks who will soon be shaking the magic 8 ball of AM and trying to discern it's meaning is this.... Sometimes the initial status is changed or is proven incorrect when NORs are released. Until NORs are released all hope is not necessarily lost nor is all rejoicing necessarily justified. Also the changes to AM have happened over time in the past and will likely do so again.

Just wait for the NOR, and share your stress here with the others in your boat.

Actually, I don't think the threads from 2013 exactly match what y'all are saying. It appears from reading those threads that the AM changes did occur over time, but over a short period of 2-3 days. Also, I don't think there were a lot of incorrect status reported in AM but rather a confusion in the board posters over what part of AM was being discussed. For example, a lot of posters were initially reporting that the were "complete", when they weren't because they weren't looking at the initial status report at the top of the page. So it appeared that there were a lot of incorrect status showing up in AM, when it was simply a misunderstanding of how to read AM. See this thread The "see details" annotation has been the kiss of death throughout the 2013 testing group and thus far in the 2016 testing group. There were a few reported changes from "see details" to "complete" but percentage wise, that was rare. If you have "see details", it is over 90% likely that status is correct. I saw no reports of persons having "complete" and that being changed to "see details". Most of the discussion that appears to say this was really the misunderstanding discussed above about where they were looking in AM. I see AM a lot like the weatherman reporting 90% chance of rain. The weatherman isn't always right but more often than not, you'll be wet if you leave the house without an umbrella. My take on AM: 1) It isn't really helpful in predicting the timing of the NOR release. In 2013, status changes occurred in December and NORs were released in March. 2) If it says "complete" at the top and nothing else, you will make the register. 3) If it says "complete see details" at the top, it is 95% certain you did not make the register. So, not point in obsessing over AM but I'm not going to ignore it. I'll check it every couple of weeks and when somebody else reports a status change on the board, I'll check daily until my status changes.

Bayou, this is an excellent and logical synopsis of what information AM gives the candidate. Whether it proves to be accurate in this round of testing well be later determined, but I think it will, and it puts you right at the top of your class (group of 2016) again. Pixie

Gee, am I missing something? I have enough stress in my life, so I figured I would ignore AM and wait for the "official" email in June [Pixie is always right!]. In the meantime, I am trying to live life and deal with my family and job. But if that is not the wisest path, please give me a nudge! In the meantime, hope everyone has had a little pleasant Spring weather!

I'll check it every couple of weeks and when somebody else reports a status change on the board, I'll check daily until my status changes. So based on the 2013 timing of the change in Application Manager status and NOR's release date, we should have already received the status change assuming mid-June NOR's. Since we haven't, it leaves one to wonder whether that means NOR's won't be released until much later in the summer or whether the change in status has nothing to do with the timing of the NOR's. Seems the second is more likely , given Bayou's post above.

Or, TPTB read the Board, know the Board has deciphered status changes, and are going to change the timing of status changes to something closer to the NOR release.

But the NOR will come via email or U.S. Mail. Can any board vets confirm this process? [/quote]
I can answer your question re: how you receive your score: via email. Good luck!!
