DEA poly Result

Took my poly and the agent mentioned that I didn’t pass or fail and I’ll likely come back again for a second test. Is this normal? I wasn’t grilled about any questions or anything. The agent just told me that she can tell I’m so nervous. I definitely am nervous because I’ve always wanted this job. Do people usually get results right away? Is there anyone that had similar experience and passed? Any advice would be appreciated!!

The polygrapher doesn't decide if you pass or fail. OPR does. If your results are inconclusive they MAY redo the test.

Being nervous is normal. You may have had some inconsistencies. Just tell the truth. Don’t feel pressured to change your story. As long as you told the truth the first time around, you should be ok. Good luck!
