How often, if ever, does a person get "likely to pass" and then end up failing?

[Douglas Short]

I just retook Grading and shockingly got a "likely to pass" but don't want to get too excited if there are occasions where this flips to fail.

If I actually passed, I'M DONE WITH LARE!

Congrats Douglas! I also just finished with GDSM and received a likely to pass! It was also the last test I needed, so cheers! 

From my understanding, a "Likely to Pass" is as good as gold. I haven't read anything about the otherwise. I'm still leery until that official scoring, but I'm on cloud nine.

Congratulations to you!   I normally try to avoid looking at that little message at the end of the test because I can't stand bad news.  But this time I just looked.  And boom, "likely to pass".  I can't believe it (it's been a long road) so I just wondered if the pie is going to come and smack me in the face in a month.  All the AI engines are saying I'm good, but these search engines aren't real people.  So that's why I'm wondering if this has ever happened to anyone here or maybe have heard about good news turning bad.  I am dying to dump my worn out study guides, practice tests, the whole damn box!  Dare I do it before it's official?!

Douglas, burn the box.

From everything I've read and heard from others who have been through this process, a "Likely to Pass" is exactly what it says. I haven't found a single credible account of that flipping to a fail and I looked. CLARB uses that language deliberately, and they wouldn't put it on the screen if it wasn't reliable.

I completely understand the anxiety after everything we've put into this; it feels almost too good to be true. But at some point, you have to trust the process and let yourself feel it.

You're done. The worn-out study guides, the practice tests, and the whole beat-up box served their purpose. Honor them by getting rid of them and never looking back.

Congratulations Douglas. It's been a long road for both of us. Enjoy every second of this.
