While I like this simple calculation, the assumption of getting 25% of guessed answers correct is a big one. For the 32 remaining questions, considering all possible combinations of successful guesses at 25% probability, and unsuccessful guesses at 75% probability, the probability of...

It probably doesn't matter. As I showed in the original post, if you know you have 50 correct, the probability of passing by completely random guessing is already nearly 80%. My takeaway from this... if you can be really confident with 50-or-so of the questions on the exam, you have a really...

Download the FE Reference Manual that NCEES provides during the exam. Know this reference manual like the back of your hand. Work on example problems only using the reference manual...read it before you go to bed... print it out and put it under your pillow so you soak it in through your skin at...

Interesting, so, in the unlikely event that someone is 100% sure of answering 50 questions correctly, they could potentially guarantee passing by guessing the same answer for the remaining questions... assuming they're smart, and guess the answer that was least frequently already used.

My wife gave birth the weekend before the exam. 3 days later, the newborn got a 102 degree fever, and so we were all in the hospital pretty much the whole week. I took the exam unable to do any of my last-minute studying, utterly concerned about by new-born, and on little-to-no sleep. The exam...

So, I was curious what the probability of someone passing the PE exam based on completely random guessing (because it seemed feasible), so, I did some math. The probabilities are based on an assumed passing score of 70% (56/80), using the binomial cumulative probability... that is, for randomly...

From the Illinois code, it looks like you might be good to go. You could probably work it out to claim 2013-2014 as a Master's degree year, and 2014-2017 as work experience years...but it's not clear. Probably best to read your states requirements for experience, and try some clever manipulation...
