NCCAOM Exams

I had the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) or National Acupuncture Board exams from September 24-25, 2007.  I’m glad they were on computer, and not as strict as the California Acupuncture Board.  I had two sections on Monday, September 24, and after each section, I would be waiting in suspense for the computer to tell me that I failed.  Both times, a screen appeared, saying pass, with some information, and I wondered if that meant I passed or I just finished that section.  On the way out, the Pearson VUE Professional Center workers handed me prinouts with Grade: Pass, so I guess it means I passed.
 
The section I had on Tuesday, September 25 was different.  After the last question, it just ended without a result screen, which made me think I failed.  On the way out, the paper they handed me said that the results were not available, and I wondered, "Does it mean that I failed and they don’t want to tell me the bad news?" I guess I have to wait a few weeks for the bad news to come in the mail.
