CISSP in Seattle 24 March

Just figured I'd throw a marker in the water.

Took my CISSP exam the 24th of March in Seattle and haven't heard a peep yet (April 24th) not even a survey (which actually has me a bit nervous that I haven't received that survey everyone speaks of).

I've called once last week and emailed on Friday. Don't want to wear out the lines of communications so I'm just hanging back now but if anyone took it in Seattle, let me know if you get your results.

I feel your pain - I sat for the exam on 31 MAR 2012 in Reston, VA and have been nervously awaiting results (this coming Saturday should be the 4th week...). I have not received a survey yet either... I just sent a message to ISC2 via their contact web form, so hopefully I hear something from them soon.

Same boat here. I took the exam March 24 in Tulsa. No results, no survey.

I called them this afternoon about results. They said 5-6 weeks to process exam results. Seemed like his canned response.

I was really hoping they would come today. The waiting is killing me...

I have no results and no survey yet. It's frustrating.

I took the exam April 15th and its only been 1 1/2 week, it sucks the wait is so long and ironic considering its a IT related exam and it takes that long to get results back. Also, the survey thing almost sounds like a covert commnications channel! - if its true that you get the survey if you get a passing grade!

I've heard conflicting information about the survey, which I'm hoping is just a myth.

I read last week that the class that took it March 17th received theirs on Wednesday April 18th... so doing the math if I took mine seven days after, I should be in line to receive them today... but again, no survey so maybe there is some merit to that statement.

I'll come back and let you know if/when they come in.

I took the exam March 18th and haven't received results yet...I did get a survey on April 11th though.

reedtv

maybe we can receive the result early May.

The guys from the 17th got their results last week, you must be next in line

This is madness... you are well into week 6, may would take you into week 7.

As soon as you guys hear let us know!!

I just got my results from the March 24th test in Tulsa. Happy to say I passed.

I emailed ISC2, the official time frame is about 4-6 weeks. :-/

This morning at 0920, received an email from ISC2 Customer support congratulating me for passing. Yay!

Aside from my pure joy at the moment, it's worth noting that I never received a survey, so I know there's some question about the survey being an indicator of pass/fail.... I can say at this point it's no indicator...

and CONGRATS rtmcdo!!! That was kinda a rough wait right?

Congratulations to you as well! Yes, it was a rough wait. Tuesday was the worst for me as I thought the results were coming that day.

It was rather nice getting good news on a Friday though.

Congrats OSIGUY! Glad to hear you passed.

As for conspiracy theories, I was never in on the survey/score thing... but I do want to know if there's a defined period of time that ISC2 sends out pass/fail e-mails (i.e. do they try to send the e-mails between the hours of 8am and 10 am, or do they just blast them out randomly).

Mine was received at 8:57am, so that would fall in the window you describe.

Congrats Colby/OSIGUY!!!

For the record, I received my passing notice at 12:11pm today (tested on 3/25) and I DID receive a survey.

I remember reading a notice on their website that they would be upgrading their email system over the weekend. Not sure if that is related to the website being inaccessible right now, but thought it was worth mentioning.

EDIT: ISC(2) website is now accessible.

You have got to be joking.... How's our luck! Why upgrade right now! Looks like we have got to sit it out another day..... Aggghhh

We have still not got results from the test taken on 25th March. Maybe they only mark papers on Fridays????

Sent them an email on 4/30 and haven't gotten a reply back from that either. *sigh*

Did one better than that, i called them on Monday and they told me we should have our results by the end of the week. Looks like they dont do much marking begining / mid week - they seem to save it until Friday... although I keep checking my email, in the back on my mind I have Friday ear marked as my day to start study again....

I did the same thing... they said that I might receive my results this Friday or next Friday...

I like how they're very non-committal about the whole process. I wish the grading process was a little more open and transparent - even just a little more information so that I can form a realistic set of expectations on when I can receive a pass/fail!

Just tell yourself that your exam results will arrive exactly six weeks after you take your exam and go on with your life. If you get your results in less time, you will be very surprised and happy and think that the (ISC)2 did you a great favor.

Of course, there are those personalities that love to writhe in the self-imposed torment of imagining being unfairly manipulated by an authoritative organization. For those people I say, "Keep on doing what you are doing, because you enjoy doing it so!"

Got my reply:

Dear jtoast
Thank you for your inquiry.
Examination results are delivered via your primary email address 4-6 weeks after taking your exam. After reviewing your account, you results are not available.
If you should need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I replied back asking if that means I will have my results no later than Friday May 4th, which would be the 6 week mark. No response as yet.
