You can pay $90 to find out in 7 business days, or wait 10 business days to find out for free. I'm in Mass, I'm pretty sure it's all the same!I didnt even know that was an option, I thought you had to wait the 5 business days...
hi guys does anyone know if our results will be posted tomorrow night or wednesday? Im in Massachusetts and someone said last year they posted a day early after 8pmish
I heard from classmates from last year and that took it early in july that they started to find out in the evening 6 days after and some didnt find out till the morning of the 7th day into the afternoon. So most of us will find out tomorrow night, some on thursday morning/afternoon.

I'm pretty sure they'll start posting results tomorrow (Wed) evening, and into Thursday. Also, most states do post "pass/fail", but some states don't post it until the full score report comes out, unless you pay to see it. I think that's what Court0514 is talking about for Mass. I'm in Texas and here they post pass/fail right away when it's available so you don't have to pay to find out early. I know CA also posts it right away so you don't have to pay. I think there's only a few states where you do have to pay to see them early, but I'm not sure which ones....
I think Arizona will also let you see it right away, while I heard that Michigan makes you pay to see it early.
Just checked and the "my status" website is down. I am assuming they are inputing the scores. Tomorrow/Thursday I pray we'll all be rejoicing 🙂
The site works now but no scores up yet.
I'll admit, I keep checking like every 4-6 hrs even though I know it most likely won't be posted until tomorrow lol.how is everyone holding up? Hope they will be posted tonight

First-time poster here! I woke up in the morning and cried. So much is at stake. I just want to get done with it now. I hope they put up tonight. Can't wait any longer. How are you holding up?

Ya, I keep checking all the time too. This day seems to be dragging on!
Does anyone know approximately what time they start being posted (from experience with prior exams)? Is it 9pm pacific? (Which means I'd have to wait until 12am on the east coast blah!)
I know which one you're talking about. I literally laughed out loud as well. I think it was their way of easing the pressure!There was one question that was pretty funny. I imagined one of the answers taking place, and I almost cracked up.
Hello everyone!!! It was my second time taking the NPTE last week....Im so nervours waiting for this result......every time I think about the test I remember a stupid mistake I made.....OMG, I can't go through all this again.....I have been studying for the whole year.....I just hope to get enough questions to pass, a 600 would be great no more no less....good luck guys!!!!
I am in the mid-west and my classmates who appeared for the test in July said that it started coming out from 6 pm EST. Few of them could see it at 2am. They started receiving it from the evening of the 6th day. It is going to be a long two days! I wish they had a specific time when they would release it!Ya, I keep checking all the time too. This day seems to be dragging on!

Same here! All I keep thinking is please let me pass, I can't do this all over again. In July I found out on the 6th day around 11pm EST so I'm hoping for the same this time around, if not earlier. Good luck everyone! I know it's hard, but try to enjoy the day!Hello everyone!!!

Another friend told me it will be up by 9pm tonight. This is making me antsy and panicky! Tonight is not even 5 business days from the test! These speculations are driving me nuts 

, who is making up these rules? lol! I won't hold my breath. I'll just expect to see it tomorrow... but like the paranoid person I am, I know I'll end up checking it tonight (frequently) lol.
Guys, I just looked the FSBPT's website and it says the results should be posted tomorrow, not today....http://www.fsbpt.org/SecondaryPages/ExamCandidates/NationalExam(NPTE)/DatesandDeadlines.aspx

Yes, technically they will be posted tomorrow, but in past exams, some (but not all) scores start to post the night before. If you look at past threads from July and from Oct of last year, scores started posting the night before the official date.
Ok...so I'm a Cubs fan. It's Game 7. The possibility of finding out the results at the same time as the conclusion of the World Series has me freaking out! Good luck everyone! Please, not only keep praying for yourself, but for everyone else on this forum. God Bless you all. I hope everyone who has posted nervous posts passes!
I'm in CA and didnt get mine yet!!! Ugh!!!CA posted passed!!
Not yet....Anyone from TX with results?

Cubs fan here too! Goodluck on both!
When you said NY, my heart started pounding and I checked. Not yet for me, but I did take it in the afternoon.Someone on the facebook thread said their score is posted! (New York)
Edit: Also someone from WA says their score is posted...
Good luck everyone!!! We all deserve this.
Did you take it in the morning or afternoon? I wonder if the time you take the exam impacts when it is posted.I'm in CA and didnt get mine yet!!! Ugh!!!

HI all. I took the test in Indiana at 8.30 and I passeddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, the time you take the test matters. The afternoon ones will probably have to wait longer!
I was pretty sure I am failing but I passed and I am sure you all will too

Totally stressing myself out wondering why some people in a given state have their results and not others. I hope it doesn't have something to do with the result of pass or fail...
Same here... sighs..

No it doesn't have anything to do with whether you passed or not. Most of my classmates took it last July, and some of them got results Monday night, some in the middle of the night, and some on Tuesday during the day, but they all passed. For whatever reason, it just takes them a while to post all the results.
Passed! Took the test in Henrico, VA @ 12:00PM! Good luck everyone!

This second time around I bought PT final exam home study bundle (if you decide to go this route google a coupon code for it to save money). I felt it was beneficial and covered topics I hadn't previously covered while studying the O'Sullivan review book. I also found the workbook helpful as well. I also followed their suggestion of taking a practice every week or so. So I took about 6 practice tests total this time versus only taking 3 practice the first time. I studied from the Therapy ed book the first time and scorebuilders the second. I would recommend O'Sullivan over Scorebuilders. That's pretty much all I changed from the first time versus this time. Stay positive and stay focused, you can do it!I didnt pass... Any advices will b appreciated.. hw to study and wht books to follow... feeling devastated
