Since 50/80 = 62.5%, and they say your scaled score is 69, then the curve is about 6.5 points. By my reckoning, you missed passing by one question.

I know the feeling, as the same thing happened to me years ago when I took my master electrician exam for the first time. But I nailed it the second time, so it all worked out in the end.

I haven't heard yet how I did on the October PE (we have snail-mail notification in my state), but I halfway expect to be taking the exam again in April. No big deal. All we can do is keep plugging away until we win.

[simpatique]

thank you for having the courage to post your score .

[afewgood]

where can I get that % from?
I got 53/80 (TX) and fail.

[NCEng12]

Please note which depth you sat for as well.

[FL.PE.Hopefully]

Where does it show the weighted percentage?

[bradfurd]

52/80...Ohio Civil Construction...fail

I don't see a weighted percentage. I had a 0 out of 6 in one area in the afternoon, which came as a total shock to me. I bet with a few of those back, I would have passed.

[piudiciani]

How do you know what your curved score is?

[ajlong42]

NCEES COME ON!!!

[bradfurd]

Me too, ajlong42. We gotta pick ourselves up and be thankful that we have more chances. You'll be fine!

[jco0518]

Thanks, I took the Water Resources/Environmental as well.

[C5BlkVette]

I failed with 53/80 Civil Transportation.

Breakdown as follows:
Construction --------------------------- 6/8
Geotechnical --------------------------- 2/8
Structural -------------------------------- 6/8
Transportation -------------------------- 5/8
Water Resources & Environmental - 4/8
Traffic Analysis ------------------------- 8/9
Geometric Design ---------------------- 9/12
Transportation Planning -------------- 1/3
Traffic Safety ---------------------------- 4/6
Other Topics ---------------------------- 8/10

By looking at the diagnostics, I would probably need 56+ out of 80 (70%+) to pass the exam...

[SOCTRANG]

54/80 failed. transportation.

[SOCTRANG]

54/80 failed transportation.

Breakdown as follows:
Construction --------------------------- 5/8

[AdamA]

It doesn't make me feel comfortable seeing 54 as a failing score

[pu_grad2001]

I got 31 in the morning and 14 in the afternoon taking the Geotech exam. I am going Transpo next time. No more dirty after noon exam for me.

[consteng]

53/80 in Civil Construction and still failed? very nervous now!

[biswa]

wow 55/80 is pretty high.........................

who failed with 55/80?

[bump530]

53/80 Civil Transportation.....didnt study much for it though

[mrjinx]

wow 55/80 is pretty high.........................

who failed with 55/80?

I'll assume this is based off of my comment on another thread about someone failing with 55/80, so here's some good news! I had misread someone else's post; they didn't actually fail with a 55, so no worries! I have yet to actually see anyone on here who failed at 55/80.

[Kim M]

Any structural depth takers fail?

[ptatohed]

I can't believe 54/80 is a fail for Transpo. I'm used to seeing 51,52 as the highest fail score. Yikes.

[consteng]

if 53/80 = 68%, then cut score is 55 for Civil Construction???

[kenny911]

53 out of 80 Transportation

[LORMAR]

54/80 is the highest fail score I've seen since joining this board.

Anyway, I feel for those getting 53 and 54, knowing how close you were.

BTW, each test is weighted differently, meaning a 54 may be a fail on one test/discipline, but may be a passing score on others.

[HP Junkie]

Sorry you didn't pass, that's not a bad grade I think back in April that was a passing grade..

What did your diagnostics look like?

CE Construction 53/80 - 68%

[kb15]

Can anyone confirm the note above that the different civil disciplines have different cut scores, I thought civil as a whole only had one passing score regardless of afternoon section. Has anyone gotten results on the civil structural exam?

[pacivilstructural]

kb15 I have the same question as you. Apparently all of the Civil Structurals passed! haha. That must mean we are fine.

[gaurav0323]

Texas Mechanical Systems and Materials
Fail
44/80
Percentage: 68%

[kenny911]

I wonder if their is a fall and spring trend for cut scores or just coincidence. I always thought it was probably harder to the pass the FE in the fall than in the spring because you have more first timers in the Spring and in the fall you tend to have people who failed and really want to pass. Maybe my theory is wrong.

[cbi]

Can someone plz tell me how u receive the diagnostic report? I logged into my ncees account that says i failed, but there is no diagnostic report. I have requested it three times already, and have not received anything in my inbox so far.

[kenny911]

I did exactly what you did a couple days ago and it was in my inbox within 2 mins. Maybe just wait until Monday and rerequest.

[jmsansone]

kb15 I have the same question as you. Apparently all of the Civil Structurals passed! haha. That must mean we are fine.

Yeah- I have been looking at several topics and have seen no posts about structural at all. Strange. I will hopefully be posting early/mid next week though. Come on MD

[maryannette]

For those who failed this time, don't give up. I passed on my 4th attempt. I'll be cheering for you next time.

[FL.PE.Hopefully]

Civil/Transpo...fail...no diagnostic yet. Does anyone know if the rules changed in FL to where you can no longer take the PE out of state, then transfer it over? This will be my third attempt, and FBPE makes you take classes if failed the PE more than three times. a lot of people i know go to Alabama to take it on their third try, then transfer it. Any input is appreciated.

[gotCMKX]

i have same question about florida.

failed a 3rd time. 1st two times i did not study and i regret it with every ounce of my being. 3rd time i studied like crazy and still failed. can't afford the time or money to take 12 credit hours so i'm going to take it in another state
