So does that mean the cut score can't be less than 69%, assuming minimum 55/80 to pass? Does that seem high? I'm in Oregon and haven't received my results yet.

The best guess is the cutscore is SOMEWHERE around 70% (56/80)... but unless we got lots more data, you can't tell because some questions may not be counted.

It could also very by depth.

I wonder why people here don't collect/combine diagnostic information and see what it shows.

To make it easier for someone to calculate their cut scores, attached you will find the excel file to do so.

I do not have the authority to upload this file. See topic "Spreadsheet to Analyze Civil Diagnostic" for spreadsheet.

this was my first attempt for PE civil with geotech depth. i already knew my failure from tx board site b4 but recently i got the official letter with diagnostic.

Knowledge areas percent correct

Breadth-Geotech 62 <----- killer

Breadth-Structural 50

Breadth-Transportation 75

Breadth-Water resources and env 38 <--------killer, i din trust enviro at all but still...

Shallow Foundations 83

Earth Retaining Structures 67

Deep Foundations 75

Other topics 40 <------killer

By looking at the percentage of questions from the outlined sylabus it seems i had 45 or 46 questions correct out of a total of 80, and my scaled score was "60". So assuming that 56 might be the magic number of required correct answers i fell short drastically. i feel bad bcoz i missed points on easy topics which could have very easily got me those 10 extra correct answers. but again, i dont know mayb the required correct answers this time was 60/80. i pretty much predicted similar amount of correct answers and i thought some of my guessed answers would pull me up but guess not. But after seing the diagnostic i am again motivated to study and will try my best to nail it on the second time in october
