If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll start studying early so I won’t be stressed,” and then somehow ended up cramming anyway, this post is for you . I took my NBCOT exam on 11/20 (2025), and I waited about three weeks for my results. Those weeks felt longer than the entire prep period combined. To make it extra spicy, 11/20 was the only test date available for me , and I had already booked a non-refundable trip to Japan starting 12/10, which also happened to be score release day .
