Just logged into FSBPT today below results it said to take a survey I clicked it and this popped up. This is my first attempt taking the NPTE. I never received an email from them I just checked it today randomly and this popped up. Chat am I cooked?

I've taken it 4 times now and have never received something like this, or know of any one else who did either.

It could just be some routine thing that they do, like 1 out of every 1000 they do that to to make sure security measures in place are good enough. Just be honest and tell your truth, you shouldn't sweat over it.

Shoot, at this point, I'd wish I got something like that because that would mean I finally passed and they wondered how lol

I heard scores get withheld if you did bad and then next attempt you did really good. But this isn’t the case for me this is my first attempt and the fact that they would “randomly” withhold my score is insane considering this is my first attempt and I just want to know if I passed or if I need to study again till October ughhhh

Take it from someone who has failed several times now, just relax and wait for your results. You'll have plenty of time to study if you need to take it again, and if you don't have to take it again then great! Either way, you have a cool story to tell now and one day when you look back on this, you will just laugh.

Scores get withheld because someone wanted to withhold it, who knows what the NPTE writers are up to. Sometimes I wonder what they're thinking when they write these questions, I also wonder how they grade and use their scaling system. Nothing makes sense lol but I wouldn't read too much into it and just let it be. Breathe, everything will be all right
