My OBDII scanner said I would pass with the Cat efficiency turned off but it would get rejected at the actual test site.

I wish I remember what I did 2 years ago when I passed. All I remember was I had EVAP and O2S ready and passed. I just don't remember if the cat efficiency had to be ready or not. I am thinking that without the cats it's probably impossible to get it ready.

Base on your scanner, it looks like your cat efficiency is turned off. How many times do you get to test before they force you to see a mechanic?
If I fail, they will tell me what failed. I need to fix that and get retested. If I fail again, I need to spend up to approx $400 in repairs trying to fix the problem. If I fail again I will get a conditional pass for a year, then I go through it all over again.

So you didn't throw a code when you have the CAT Efficiency turned on? I wonder if I should contact Vince and get a map with it turned on.

I'll keep you posted.
