I....I...FAILED! *CRYING* :Failed: .... Well, since this is my first time taking it, I took this exam by a surprise. Now that I know the format of the exam, I will hopefully try to study harder this time.
What are some good advices to give to someone like me who is thinking of taking the exam in April 2009 (3 months from now)?
Thanks.
Question, got the letter today and I failed the 8 hour exam. The thing is, is that I didn't get the break-down of topics I failed in (score, etc.). What Happened? Has anyone experienced this before?
:Failed:
I failed again for 5th time and about 400hours of study time. I gave up and that it for me.I do not take the test any more.
Good luck to you guys and congratulation to all new PE's in California.
Alexd,You have to keep trying. You cannot quit on us.
Alexd,
That didnt really answer my question.... i didnt get the sheet showing what subjects I need to work on. Etc, Construction % correct, Geotech?, Trans, etc. Has anyone not passed this exam and not receive the break-down page?
Okay. Congrats everyone.
I hope I will have some help next year when I try to tell people to forget about the database and wait for the letter.
So have they updated the database yet???!?!?! :eyebrows:
Guess what? They updated the database!So have they updated the database yet???!?!?! :eyebrows:
NO WAY PEara - that is just what they want you to do. DON"T GIVE UP!! I took the test 8 times until I passed, and I don't care who knows it. Get back into that exam room in April, and give it your all.:Failed:

What a great inspiration, PEPG!NO WAY PEara - that is just what they want you to do. DON"T GIVE UP!! I took the test 8 times until I passed, and I don't care who knows it. Get back into that exam room in April, and give it your all.
YOU WILL PASS THIS EXAM!!! Don't let that 400 hours go to waste - build on it.
Just to clear the air - three times I sat for the exam without studying a single topic. I knew that I would not be able to study for that period coming up to those dates, but I refused to let the exam date pass without giving it a try (if for nothing else - PRACTICE). The last two attempts I really studied, thanks in large part to the inspiration I received from members of this Board.Congrats to all those who passed! :multiplespotting:
What a great inspiration, PEPG!
PEara, I passed on 4th try. I know there are a lot of others here who passed on 4th and several on 5th. And, at least one on 8th.It's a personal decision, PEara. I did not take my 4th exam until many years after 3rd attempt. I thought it was not something I needed. I was wrong. It turned into my "Plan B". It helped me get a better job. It was hard to take that risk again, but it is definitely a risk worth taking. I agree with the others that you should not give up. We are here to motivate, inspire, encourage, and cheer you on. We have many engineers here who can answer questions and help you study and learn. When you get your diagnostic information, you should review it and determine where you need to spend more effort. I hope you WILL pass the exam. I hope you will want to tray again.
