I had a pre-employment screening at labcorp yesterday, May 17th and I'm now in panic mode while I wait for the results.
I'm 33, about 190lbs, 5'7, go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week, but nothing super strenuous, 30-45 mins of cardio. I eat OK, have fairly decent metabolism. I haven't smoked since April 17th (which I took a couple of hits at a party), and before that, since March 30th, ending a few consecutive days of nightly hits. Before that, can't even remember the previous time, but I would not classify myself as a heavy smoker.

I took two First Check home tests, both of which I passed. One was around the end of April, was a mid-day void and tested negative. THe second was the first void of the day the morning of the test and also tested negative. If you would have asked me, the lines were faint, but after poking around here, I've seen WAY fainter. I didn't really think anything of it, and didn't do any additional preparation like diluting. It's only now AFTER the fact that I'm starting to doubt myself.

Can anyone provide insight on whether I can expect a pass or fail?

One other thing, they distinctively use the terminology "drug screen", is this less stringent than a "Drug test"?

You've already taken the test, nothing we can say will calm you down.

Just relax and wait to hear back about the results..

Have you heard back on your results? I had mine on the 16th and I have heard nothing, just wondering how you did?

Nothing yet, but I don't expect to hear till the end of this week. The result has to go from the lab to the compliance people at the new gig, then the recruiting team, then to me. The wait is flat out killing me, I can't relax. Most of my friends think I'll be fine considering I don't smoke too much and I passed the home tests.
