I am planning to take FE Exam during my senior year. I was planning to take it during October so I can put it down on my resume, but I have heard they won't release the results to you until you graduate. Is that true?

Anyone knows?
 
It's been ~25 or so years since I took it during an MS program. I seem to remember that the results came a few months later, well before I got the degree. I think if one takes it in October this year, one would get the results before graduation. Maybe a senior who graduates this year and who took the FE last October can confirm.
 
I took the FE exam in April and they told me it would be four months until I would find out my score.
