I PASSED too! (I took Civil: WR & Environmental) I know two transpos that passed and one Chem that failed.

SC is just pass/fail. I PASSED!!!

You could have easily stated that you felt like you did well without sounding like such a jerk. This is more of a statement about your personality than about how you felt about the exam. There are two kinds of people who do well at things: the ones that brag and act like know-it-alls (ie the...

I was under the impression that this is how it works: 70% is passing period. So they decide what the cut score is and set that to 70% and then everything is scaled from there. So to answer your question I would say yes if this test is easier than tests in the past then the cut score will be...

Actually what is worse for me is when people ask how I did and I say I am on the fence then they say "I'm sure you did fine" I just want to say, HOW do you know how I did?! I know they mean well and it is meant as encouragement, but it just makes me feel like I am going to disappoint more...

Thanks!!

Clemson University. Where did you go?

Do they give you the dianostic report so you know how many you got right? Granted if you do in fact make a 95-100% you did great, but that doesnt mean you got 80 out of 80 since they scale it.

Bragging isn't the word I would use.

Texas and Virginia are the two states that actually do tell you a % score. But it is scaled. I still thought that was only if you failed though. I thought it was pretty universal that if you passed they just say you passed. Anyone know for sure?? Point being if gisguy did almost make the...

The NCEES 2011 book is helpful, but I would not say it is "so close". I thought the afternoon questions in the NCEES book were actually harder than the real exam, and I thought the morning ones were not representative of the true breakdown of subjects. Either way the book is a must have for...

I took WR and evironmental. I am a first time test taker. I felt like the morning was hard and the afternoon was much easier. I was a biosystems engineering major. I did not have structural in college and I thought the morning was much more sturctural than I had expected. I am hoping my...

I agree totally that the morning was heavy with Structural and Geotech. I did not take structural in college (I was not a civil major), so I am weak in structural. I had statics, dynamics, and geotech though. I did feel good about the afternoon portion though! I just hope it was enough to make...

Per the Errata for the 2008 NCEES Civil PE Sample Questions and Solutions: "Beginning with the April 2008 exam, traffic analysis is not covered in the Transportation portion of the Breadth exam. The Transportation portion of the Breadth exam will only contain questions about geometric design."...

NEVERMIND I found the answer to my questions in another thread. It is the Interval that you multiply by when converting the Total Flow Q that you calculated to Volume. See the last post in the other thread: <deleted> "Yeah, sum the values to get the total direct runoff -->450cfs...
