Pearson Vue just sent the score updates but RAPS confirmed via email results would sent by Thursday. Results released a day earlier! Anyone else get their results?
Oh yeah! Passed for Devices!!! 😎
It's been nearly 4 months since taking the RAC exam, and we're supposedly getting scores next month. I don't know about everyone else, but the waiting has honestly been worse than the exam itself. Heck I've even studied and passed the PMP Exam (same day results) and finished two MBA courses in the time frame of waiting.
I keep replaying questions in my head, wondering if I did enough to pass. At this point, I just want to know one way or the other so I can either celebrate or start planning my next steps.
How's everyone feeling as we get closer to the score release date?
Curious how everyone else is handling the wait and what your experience was with the exam.
The hardest decision in the entire PMP journey isn’t Study Hall, the mindset, or whether to take breaks…
It’s choosing your post-exam cake.
Every day this sub is:
“Is my 68% in Study Hall enough?”
“Do I really need the PMP mindset?”
“AT/AT/AT or my life is over.”
“Should I take the breaks?”
“I failed…”
“I passed…”
“Did I study enough?”
“What’s the new exam format?”
“What are case studies?”
Meanwhile, nobody is asking the important question.
🎂 What’s your cake choice when you pass or when you did pass!
Regardless of whether you walked out with AT/AT/AT, T/T/AT, BT/T/AT (my results)or a preliminary fail… you’re eating cake when you pass. So what’s it gonna be?
🍫 Chocolate?
🎂 Funfetti?
🍓 Strawberry?
🥕 Carrot?
🧀 Cheesecake (yes, it counts)?
🍋 Lemon?
🍰 Costco sheet cake because PMI already took enough of your money?
No judging as this is a safe space. And for reference my choice was a Mango Cake!
And if you say fondant, I’m reporting you to PMI for violating the PMP mindset and not mitigating the cake selection risk!
Tonight proved to me that soccer/football truly is the greatest sport in the world and Colombians are absolutely amazing people.
As an American living in Philadelphia, I am grateful to live less than ten minutes away from the best Colombian restaurant in the city. Tonight upstairs was transformed into an amazing watch party and was so much fun watching with your country men and women. You all are a fun bunch, high energy and lively.
To the mom that laughed with me all night and introduced me to your family while cheering on your country, thank you for inspiring and welcoming me to cheer you on! After sharing plans to visit Bogota and Medellin in the fall she went out of her to welcome me at the table as a gringo and made the experience so much better!
I am cheering for you to win it all and believe in your team because USA probably won’t go far ! I’m jumping on your bandwagon to support and jersey ordered in the mail before next match. I also cannot wait to visit your beautiful country!
Best of luck in the next round of the World Cup! 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇴
P.S. Please beat Argentina
Edit: Maybe I should use spellcheck 😅
Is it just me, or does this sub kind of reflect the current state of regulatory affairs right now?
Every day it’s the same cycle:
- “I have 0 experience, how do I break into RA?”
- “Do I need a master’s?”
- “I’m going to Northeastern……”
- “Where do I find internships?”
- “ I’m in [insert function] how do I pivot”
- “Is [insert vaguely adjacent role] relevant experience?”
And look those are fair questions. But the volume of them feels like a symptom of something bigger going on in the field or a lack of ignorance to actually do one research. Working in RA is good bit of being able to formula your own opinion and use judgment for basic things.
Regulatory affairs has somehow become this “mystery career” everyone wants to break into, but no one really understands. There’s a ton of interest, not a lot of clarity, and honestly not a ton of transparency from the industry on what the work actually looks like day-to-day or how people truly progress. No one wakes up and says I wanna work in RA you kinda fall into not force your way into it.
Meanwhile, what we don’t see enough of (both here and more broadly):
- What good regulatory strategy actually looks like in practice
- How people are navigating increasingly complex global requirements
- Real talk about workload, burnout, and expectations
- How RA is evolving with AI, digital health, and faster development cycles
- What differentiates someone who thrives in RA vs. just gets in
So I’m curious, what do we actually want this space to be? Because right now it feels like it feels like the sub is not deep conversation and just flooded by entry level hunger. Would love to see this shift into more of a place for:
- Case studies / “here’s what happened on my submission”
- Lessons learned (good and bad)
- Mid- to senior-level career insights
- Practical breakdowns of guidance and what it really means for industry
And maybe we just need a pinned “Breaking Into RA” thread so those questions have a home without taking over the entire feed.
Curious where others land in what would actually make this sub (and the field) more useful, transparent, and interesting?
