Is anyone using this. Just ordered it yesterday?
Yes, this is the first time that NCEES has a complete test sample with morning and depth afternoon module.Yes. Is this the first time it's been available?
I have the new NCEES Sample Questions & Solutions for Geotechnical book (along with the earlier versions from NCEES). I did a dry run on the first 20 questions in the AM portion last night without looking at the solutions. I got through it in just under 2 hours, and got 16 out of 20 correct.Yes, this is the first time that NCEES has a complete test sample with morning and depth afternoon module.Yes. Is this the first time it's been available?
That's a typo. Look at page 7.2-60 (in DM7.2)When I checked the solution, NCEES sites NAVFAC, DM 2.2-60 as the reference, and has a picture of a graph showing the active and passive earth pressure coefficients plotted on strain vs. lateral pressure.Can anyone help me figure out what's going on with this? :brickwall:
I've worked the morning problems for this sample test and I consider that they represent only a medium grade of difficulty compare with the problems in the real test.Yes, this is the first time that NCEES has a complete test sample with morning and depth afternoon module.Yes. Is this the first time it's been available?
Thanks,That's a typo.

well, from what i have seen compared to the lindeburg practice problems and the SMS, both SMS and lindeburg are waaaaaay more in depth than the problems presented in the actual test.Fender-
Did you get the exam from NCEES. What do you think about it. I plan on getting it before the April exam also and was just looking to compare it to the Lindburg practice and 6 min solutions

that being said, i thought the NCEES book was decent, some concepts were a little too generalized (active wedge, and the pullout force question) in terms of difficulty compared to the actual test I would say its about 70% as hard
I can't say since it is my first time this April, but that is about the # of hours I was planning on spending. Comes down to being able to work through the practice exams and the problems with comfort and adjust as needed.well, from what i have seen compared to the lindeburg practice problems and the SMS, both SMS and lindeburg are waaaaaay more in depth than the problems presented in the actual test.Fender-

Looks like you guys are geo. people
can you please tell me this schedule is enough for study in geo. afternoon this is my 3rd time
thanks
