Failed the 09 PE w/Geo afternoon and worked out my diagnostic to be 48/60. Anyone not pass with a higher score? Anyone have any idea of how the cut swung this year? (I'm sure it swung down but I dont know how much). Thinking of ordering a manual rescore. Thanks!

I guess the main point I was getting that is that I realized I'm not that good at consutling and I certainly don't enjoy doing it. I've done enough field, office, construction materials and soils lab, and CAD work that tells me I can use those skills in other professions or other facets of...

Once again, I respect these humble positions to some extent, but I feel I am surrounded by eggheads

Yeah? I gotta say surveying is pretty attractive. I spent a lot of time in the field and I gotta say that the low level of supervision as well as generous amounts of outdoors time would do wonders for my mental health. Sex and money notwithstanding!

All good points mentioned above and thanks. As far as getting over this PE hurdle would it be advised to stick with the Geotech or is there an easier exam... Construction/Transpo? I know enough about site construction and road construction in a general sense, but how difficult would those...

I had my first co-op/internship full time job about 12 years ago and I just took a new position this January in the Geotech Consulting field as an "entry level" engineer. I've been working on and off since 1998 (over 6 full time years straight after graduation, 1.5 years of full time co-op...

Geotech's Beware. I took the course and the Geotech review was a complete joke. Water guys and Transpo guys seemed competent but dont bother if you are taking Geotech afternoon.

Took the exam twice in 09, failed both times and the breakdown is as follows. -- Breadth - Construction 63 Breadth - Geotech 88 Breadth - Structural 75 Breadth - Transpo 50 Breadth - Water 88 Subsurface Inv. 67 Eng. Properties 60 Soil Mechanics 60 Earthquake 50 Earth Structures 25...

It could be for Geotech? Who knows. It's worth it for me to try. On a side note to all Geotechs who failed or are trying the test again DO NOT attend School of PE if you are considering a reveiew course. Afternoon/Depth preparation was a joke.

Good Advice, I think im going to give it a shot. How often are there correcting errors? It seems to offer this option would only be profitable if the test taker was in doubt of their correcting abilities. How often does doing this change the results fail to pass?

Failed 2nd time, Geotech Concentration Breakdown as follows: Breadth - Construction 63 Breadth - Geotech 88 Breadth - Structural 75 Breadth - Transpo 50 Breadth - Water 88 Subsurface Inv. 67 Eng. Properties 60 Soil Mechanics 60 Earthquake 50 Earth Structures 25 Shallow Foundations 33...

PE (civil) April 09' CASIO fx-300 PE (civil) October 09' CASIO fx-300 CONFISCATED. You would think a rudimentary calculator bought at CVS would remain on the "approved" list between April and October. Nope. My fault as well for not checking the updated list. I cant even remember the...

Figured as much.
