Nice that they will not have to pay to take the test again.

Maybe the board needs to proof read ALL the booklets next time.

Oh wow! Did they catch it before the candidates spent the time taking the exam? Did the content have nothing to do with surveying?

The alert was dated the day AFTER the date of the exam.

So yea, A wasted day.

This was the national so another reason why I love NCEES.

Two gals from our office were affected, they picked up their tests and told them to go home, sorry.

Apparently the tests contained Sismic questions instead of surveying.

I feel sorry for those who came here from out of state. The State reserves the right to cancel any test at any time.

See the newer post on the BPELSG website. They moved quickly and decicively to resolve the issue for candidates, without delaying the anticipated schedule to release the results. Very good recovery BPELSG.
