PE results
(OP)
I just took the California PE in October and they said that the results should be ready in about 15 weeks.
Why does it take so long to mail out the results for a multiple choice test that can be scored by a computer?

RE: PE results
Seriously speaking, most State board has a process where the board members will need to certify the results and vote before they grant you the license. From the NCEES transmitting the results to State (results has to go thru each State - don't ask me why) then the state workers handling each applicant's paperwork before they get presented to the board members. There's some lag time involved. And if your State board only meets quarterly and not monthly, that is additional delay.

All of which could probably be done in a couple of weeks...the real answer is probably the one given by RacingAZ!

They can't give you your score immediately because
A) They don't know what the cutoff for passing is until after they look at everyone's scores, and
B) They don't know if some of the questions need to be thrown out or not.
And I bet (B) takes longer than even a couple of weeks, honestly.

Or you can just assume:
California takes the longest, because hey we're california, and we just think we're that important.
