When they release scores, do they release numbers so we can see where we fit on the continuum? I realize that the past isn't necessarily a guide, but last time they released scores what happened? If you get a score, they only tell you your score; not all of the other scores or even the top or lowest score. Hence the various polls on this board trying to figure out the score range for certs and hires.

It appears that Board members know their scores (when issued) and the scores are cited to two decimal places. For example: 78.57.

Those who receive numerical scores get only their own scores. What we've done in the past after release of scores is have a poll of either those receiving scores or of everyone on the register to get an idea of what the distribution of scores looks like.

That's reassuring--I'd hate to see the aura of mystery dissipate. Onward......into the fog!

Is the curtain still (for this round of testing) coming down on March 23rd, 2017. Woof It sounded like the weather problems last week postponed the last ODAR SIs until "Spring 2017". WAGs have been that the NORs for the refresh have been pushed back a few weeks or month or two even.

I don't think that the delay of testing for a few weeks will have any impact on the time until the NORs are released. The only way it could delay the NORs would be if they are grading tests contemporaneous with the testing and I don't think they are doing so. By the time they catch up on grading, the delayed testers will have tested. But my WAG is that they won't issue NORs till July-august time so others will have a different view.
If somebody that received the reschedule till an undefined later date receives a new date, please let us know.
If there is a 10 pt Vet that is testing this Spring, please let us know the dates.

No, the Agency interviews have not been put off until "Spring 2017," although as practical matter that is what has happened as tomorrow is the first day of Spring. There were only a couple of days that were canceled. They ought to wrap those up this week. In fact one of the make up days is tomorrow. Pixie

Do they wait until everyone is done to score the interviews or did they get scored as they were done? Likewise with the opinion writing is that scored as they go along or do they wait for everyone so they can compare and contrast?
And if they've scored it will they let us know on a rolling basis, or do they wait until all have been scored and release en mass?

PS--I realize per earlier thread that we only see ours. I'm just wonering if we all get them around the same time--a massive mailing--or in groups by when we completed the test/interview.

We do not know for sure whether they score them all as you test or score them all after everyone has tested or score one or two as you test and one or two after everyone's tested. What we do know is your NORs (hopefully scores) will all be emailed to you over the course of a short period of time--for us in 2014 I think it was a day or two but there are more of you.

PixieI suggest that perhaps foghorn's and my last couple of comments should be moved to the DC Testing thread. Edit by Pixie: Done.

Call me confused ['cuz I often am], but did we figure out the answer for hopingforalj? Is today [finally] the end of testing for us non-vets? I ask because my friends who are not in this game keep asking me if I am lying when I say testing is on-going. Kinda mixed feelings if this is the last day: now I have to just wait, but can no longer deflect by blaming the wait on the test schedule!

Today is the last day of scheduled testing. I'm not clear on whether the snow days testers have already been rescheduled or will be for a time in the future.

Bumping this thread: (1) because it contains great info for all upcoming DC testers; and (2) so perhaps this year's discussion can get kept in the same thread.
