Keep up the great work!!!

I think the number of estimated testers that was thrown about was 2,700 at one point. It appears that we will not get anywhere close to that. Looks like it will actually be less than 2,000 considering how many testing days remain.

One person says here But way less than the total of 2013 and 2015 testers added together.......... Another says in a poll Remember, the 2013 testers were about half our size if we do end up around 2000 ..........
I need a ruling on the field. Which of the above statements is correct? |

Off the top of my head, I think the WAG is 1500 2013 testers and another thousand or so 2015 testers. Don't take it to the bank, though, it's been a while since I went thru all those old threads.

I need a ruling on the field. Which of the above statements is correct? I could never find hard numbers on how many tested in 2013. The best approximation I could come up with was 1000 to 1500 but that was speculation at best. I think when they extrapolated backwards from the Congressional hearing testimony about the number of persons on the register last spring and the number of hires since 2013, it looked like less than that. As for the 2015 group, I had the impression that group was were significantly smaller but I haven't tried to track that down. |

6 applicants- 2 females. One federal employee- testing for second time- knew of Board, but was not on it anymore, no one else was aware of it.
Had a great time in Old Town the next day- saw some snow.
I seemed to be the oldest- mid 50s

Had a great time in Old Town the next day- saw some snow. I seemed to be the oldest- mid 50s Thanks for the intel! I previously had this as a non-reported guesstimate of 5 people...so I'm glad to know I wasn't too far off! Corrected the stats to reflect your numbers! Keep up the great work everyone!! Only 15 dates are non-reported, and most of the dates are in the beginning, when testing groups were still pretty full. |

2/21. 20 taking exam. 13 women/7 men. Ages about mid 30s to low 60s. I'm not an insider so dont know how to spot them, other than 2 women who were told they didn't need visitors badges...

My personal guess was about 1200 takers in 2013 and about 800 takers in the second subset that tested in 2015. |

Nobody answered Phantom's question, and other inquiring minds also want to know:
Of the testers, what percentage get on the Register, generally speaking, if there is such a thing? |

From reading old threads, I believe another 30 percent get cut after the DC round.

Nobody answered Phantom's question, and other inquiring minds also want to know:
Of the testers, what percentage get on the Register, generally speaking, if there is such a thing? A simple question with an impossible answer. It is my understanding that it is typically unknown how many apply, how many those that do apply make it through each stage of testing, and ultimately how many are on the register. Last year's Congressional testimony was the first time (I think) that hard numbers were given for the number of applicants or the number on the register at that time.
So, judgymcjudgypants' 30% statement above is also what I derived from older threads but it is a WAG based on a WAG that was based on a WAG.

Or, an easier way to do it, take the number of applications and cut it in half to get a rough number of those who do make the register. This equation is based on the same piece of information that gave us the total number of applicants this go around.

5500 applied, but only 2000-2100 will test in DC based on current reports. The odds are still stacked against us, but they aren't as bad as they looked when we first applied!

I think someone earlier said about 1/3 would get cut after DC. Then you make it to the register and agonize over making a cert. I thought about 2000 would make it to the register after this last round of testing, but based on the numbers crunching and speculation, it may be more like 1500 to 1800.. And yes, the odds are much better now than they were when you first applied. Pixie |

Many of the members have PM'd Sophie updates. Take a look at the first page post of this thread. Sophie has kept the count current even if there has not been a post report for that day. the * numbers are those that are estimated. All the others are actually number reports. I am impressed by how few days are estimated days. The board has a lot of members, though most are very quiet. |
